Watching that movie was painful. It was kinda like Warriors Way: artistic but lacked any real depth, emotion and oh ya story!

Started watching 13 assassins , saw the girl with no limbs and tongue. Just couldnt watch anymore.

So the Atlas Shrugged movie is out in the states and getting thoroughly lambasted by critics.

Warms the cockels of my heart that a mediocre book was made into a less than average movie and probably wont make it to the cinema's anywhere outside of the US.

The best thing about this fiasco was the movie was completely financed by an Ayn Rand fanboi who showed how great capitalism is by spending $20 million of his own money making a movie everybody except other Rand fanbois hate.

The movies reception was so bad he has promised to stop making movie adaptations of novels written by mannish women!

Ayn Rand

One day I'll read on of his/her books and see what all the fuss is about. Have encountered otherwise very intelligent people that love her stuff and others that mercilessly pan everything to do with her.

Atlas Shrugged was not a bad book by any standards.

It's just not worthy of all the praise Rand's intellectually-snobby fan-base heap on it.
And when you look at who her fan base is in America these days...

Fox News - that bastion of right-wing propaganda called the movie a success and a victory for Capitalism, despite it's poor critical and financial reception.

That settles it then. If the Republican Channel like it, then it must suck.

World War Z - The Movie

Starring Brad Pitt.

Went to watch "Water for Elephants" with the woman on Tuesday. Not normally my thing, but it wasn't half-bad. What was nice was seeing Robert Pattinson in a movie that had nothing to do with emo vampires.

Hopefully going to watch "Tomorrow When The War Begin" tonight.

Finally watched Salt. Possibly the most disjointed film I've ever seen.

I see Thor is out tomorrow.

Wasn't overly impressed by Salt.

WTF? I thoroughly enjoyed Salt.

I have heard good things about Thor. Looks better than Captain America anyway...

Something about it just didn't appeal to me... maybe it's the fact that there was no shower scene with Angelina.

So watched Tomorrow When The War Began last night (damn, that sounds confusing) and I've decided that I'm moving to Australia 'cause they some insanely attractive women.

That movie was bad IMO

I took myself to watch Thor this morning. I left confused. I could not follow what Loki was doing.

Wasn't what I expected, but I ended up enjoying it.

Would you mind telling me what Loki was playing at please?

Sorry, I was talking about Tomorrow When The War Began.

Don't spoil it for the rest of us! You be trippen yo!

*DOH!* Sorry.

Does Donald Blake make an appearance or is he just Thor all the way through?

So I watched Thor last night... and about 10 minutes in I really had to fight the urge to get up and walk out. The movie did get better after that and ended up being half decent, but there are some things that bugged me to no end:

1 - WTF was up with the costumes in this movie? I mean, they looked like something that came from the X-Men. Really piss poor costumes (except maybe for the gate keeper).

2 - In an even bigger WTF, WHAT ON EARTH is René Russo doing in a movie like that?! She really doesn't belong in such movies.

So does Donald Blake make an appearance?

I see there's a new Winnie the Pooh movie being released next month. Guess what I'll be watching . . .

Not alone, of course.

Well, they had to think up a name for Thor when he was on earth, I think they used Donald Blake.
