the aussie movie lover/hater thread

oh, didn't read my post on it then? i can't believe how many people are saying it's one of the best/most inspirational movies they've ever seen....

 

ah, i believe you've heard PP say that before......

edit: haha that line was just said right now here. now he's overtaking everyone in reverse....

 

you wouldn't believe how many crap films i've seen lately... *SIGH*

i don't know, maybe i'm dreaming of halcyon days but back in the early-mid 90's i used to go to the cinema 3-5 times a week, i was addicted to movies! now, i still watch new movies but i'm not sure why anymore, i can't remember the last movie i wasn't severely disappointed with.

seriously, anyone seen anything worth watching????

 

300

i know absolutely nothing about this movie, but going by the following review alone i am dying to see it!!!

 

just went and saw Zodiac.

been really looking forward to this movie for a long time, directed by David Fincher a'la Se7en/Fight Club (two of my favourites).

well.... boooooooooooooring.

it *is* interesting, but more in a one-hour-special on an ABC documentary with a few dramatisation scenes kind of way, not nearly 3 hours in an uncomfortable old low-back cinema seat.

the acting is ok, but the movie is so completely deadpan with maybe 3 slightly tense moments and two semi-humourous one-liners. the story spans such a ridiculously long time-span jumping weeks then months then years then decades at a time to the point where you don't care about the characters.

only bother to watch it if the Zodiac killings were something you remember as a kid and you want more in-depth information but couldn't be bothered reading the book.

 

saw Deja Vu, very entertaining flick. cross between 12 Monkeys and Minority Report.

 

last week went and saw Ocean's 13... was pretty much as expected, entertaining enough, not quite as popcorn-festish as the previous two but a decent way to kill 2 hours.

tonight went and saw Transformers.... very nice.

definitely worth seeing, my one big criticism however is that there's way too much ultra-close-up and overly kinetic camerawerk, it's often very difficult to see what's actually going on and you hardly ever get a really good look at the robots or action because of this. the best shots are the longer shots where you can see the entire scene - awesome stuff - but these are few and far between.

 

if you pause it in the right spot it's more than top-pless

once you've finished just google jovovich resident for a nice bunch of stills....

 

ah, it's just starting here now, might watch Rogue Traders instead. caught Revenge of the Nerds the other night, thanks for the heads up

 

haha had to google to check! so guess you weren't a Melrose fan?
