frannyo 2 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Was this an April's fool story? --- Here’s the latest edition of “Remakes, Sequels, and Reboots That No One Wants.” Universal has apparently decided it’s a good idea to develop a sequel to the 1988 film Twins, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as mismatched twins separated at birth. This time around, the movie will be called Triplets because they two realize they have another brother they weren’t aware of: Eddie Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - for the Elderly and Beautiful. Saw it at the flicks last week - I do like British actors and there are some crackers in this one. Here's the trailer http://youtu.be/dDY89LYxK0w Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The American -- way too many plot holes, but a nice try nonethless. Could've used a bit more exposition. Clooney better than I'd've expected. Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I dunno if you have to have a bit of a black sense of humour, but Down Terrace was fantastic. It was almost like my definition of a perfect movie. Im amazed that Julia Deakin isnt swimming in academy awards, shes just amazing to watch. Anyway, got a little but of negative criticism on both wiki and imdb for being a bit slow in places... but theyre way wrong. Its just an exceptionally fun (and often times hysterically funny) movie.

pie-eater 207 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I will look that one up. The fact that she isn't swimming in awards is probably good. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Watched Attack the Block for a bit of a follow up... surprisingly well made. Joe Cornish played this a great deal more straight than i expected. Its got some fun moments, but it doesnt suffer from the adam and joe style inconsistency. Its a good film. A bit preachy, but nothing too insufferably clammy and genuinely a fun little romp. Its much more a cuddly alien movie than a monsters from out of space (which i suspect he was going for), but it didnt bother me that much. It was a nice 84 minute easy on the eye distraction. Yanks might have a problem understanding the Yut speak, but again, its more about kids playing at rastafarai gangsta than actual thick accents. Its not rab c nesbitt here. A bit of common sense (or a recognition that almost every word ending every sentence just means "mate"... (failing that, find some subtitles). Fun film, not astonishing. Not as good as he could be, and a bit straight jacketed by convention than youd expect. But a seriously good start to his career as a movie maker. The dude definitely has a future making films. In other news, watched this and had this uncomfortable realisation that i could have actually died without seeing this. I have this horror that when i die god will present a powerpoint showing all the stuff i failed to collect and just how close it was to me at key points (kinda like a walkthrough on a game where you only scored a 48% completion, but youd have to go all the way back to some save game right near the start to converse with some random dude on some island no one ever really told you about in game opening up the quest chain which youre obviously never going to do because who the hell wants to play an entire game again just so you can say you got 70% of the game). its existentially terrifying that there are things out there too good to be missed, but im missing them anyway.

2pints-mate 0 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I watched one with Liam Neeson in it last night that was quite an interesting story. Can't remember the bame Unknown or something. Haha, title unknown. That wasn't supposed to be a joke. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 And a strange one with Cate Blanchet and Judi Dench, Notes of an Affair or something. I saw that too recently. I know what you mean with the 'strange one' comment, I wasn't expecting that when it came on. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I saw Battleship last week......I didn't really know what the story was about when I went to see it, I found myself laughing out loud at some parts but no one else in the cinema was. Is it meant to be tongue in cheek cheesy/funny? Watched the Incredible Hulk last night on TV, first time I've watched that and it wasn't as ridiculous as I thought it was going to be Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Sounds like a case of the translation totally missing out on lots of nuance. Either that or just a crappy cheesy film. It's got Rhianna in it hasn't it? Perhaps that's a sign. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Watched MI:Ghost Protocol on Wednesday night. Really enjoyed it. Also watched Moneyball (was good) and then Hangover II (not so good). Got the King's Speech also to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
