What film did you watch last night?

After watching tsunami caught on camera last night its changed my view on disaster films. Watching a man just stare at a giant wave and not attmept to run then get swept away makes you wonder what was going through his mind.

Just finished watching this, quite upsetting in places, but everyone should see this.
 
Saw the original Katate Kid last night. Didn't realise just how much of a remake the new one is, almost shot for shot. Original still wins out, daniel larousso much better actor, and the fact that they are slightly older, (16 vs 12ish) somehow makes the violence and the flirtations more palatable. Jackie Chan is the only plus for the new version, his fighting scenes as always pretty fun.
And the fact the new one is only 50% accurate in the title (Karate it is not).
 
The Core

Just watched this on TV and I have to admit I have a soft spot for disaster films. Well I did until the recent wave of Day After Tomorrow and 2012 which started taking themselves way too seriously and killed it all to me. This one is one of the old fashioned films that is silly and not scared of admitting it and just goes with that flow till the end. Did trail off in the end though but not bad for a Sunday afternoon.

5/10
Watched it myself and enjoyed it, typical disaster yarn, full of cliche's, nerd scientist wins the day, etc, and he still got of with hilary s**** lol.
 
I watched Transporter 2 last night :D

I love it :p It's definitely a "turn-your-brain-off-for-two-hours" action movie :p
I burst out laughing at the plane as it started spinning as if it was no heavier than a pen :p
 
Watchmen
Started out well, I lasted over 2 hours then fell asleep so missed the ending and didn't really feel like asking the wife to tell me what happened. A good attempt with decent action scenes and good atmosphere, an ok film but seems to get a little lost.

6/10
 
The A-Team - 8/10
Not a bad action movie although the ending was fairly predictable

Saw that at the weekend, thought it was very good to be fair, like the small character details that follow on from the TV series (e.g. BA's fear of flying).

I'd give it 8/10 for entertainment value but no surprises at the end


Also saw Hurt Locker. I had avoided this film purely because of the hype but to be honest I think it's one of the better 'modern day' war/army themed films. Could have imagined them doing a TV series out of this TBH.

I'd also say 8/10
 
Dawn of the Dead, had a bit of a Romero/zombie craving. Thoroughly enjoyed it again, as did my brother. Lots of "why would you split up?", "surely standing on the roof with a sniper rifle is a better option?!" moments lol.

Got the other 4 films after that to watch next... brrrraaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnssssss.
 
Kick Ass!!

Quite a good film for what it was, quite a few laughs. Nice light entertainment to watch with the Mrs on a Sunday evening. I'd probably give it 7/10.
 
No Country for Old Men
The Big Lebowski

Wasn't paying enough attention, need to watch them again.

No Country was a little weird - I was thinking all the way through that Moss was meant to be the protagonist but apparently it was Bell!
