Well, Bob shouldn't want to kill himself for too long after the vampire movie since the new Zelda also comes out literally two days after it. I'm most looking forward to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Tintin.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! HOW COULD I NOT KNOW OF THIS MOVIE?!!PAGEToap44 said:
*ahem* Thank you very much for pointing this out. My life is complete.
There looks like enough passable movies there to keep me entertained. However, the fact that 'Anonymous' even exists offends me. Didn't we all get over conspiracy theories about Shakespeare's work about a decade ago? I saw some stuff on this movie a few days ago and the "evidence" it's based on is without doubt an absolute fucking pile of steaming dog shit! DO NOT SEE THAT MOVIE! At best it's terrible, at worst it's poisonous. Don't even give it a chance.

none of these actually look interesting except for Paranormal Activity 3, am I a terrible person for it? Whatever. I just love horror, and there are next to zero good horror movies being made.
Honestly I'm just waiting till The Hobbit comes out.

Am I just thick or why is Zodiac placed there as a good movie? I was bored silly with it, unlike the rest of the films mentioned. Could someone please explain to me the film's good attributes that I may have missed? I'm serious, please someone enlighten me why Bob keeps placing it up in good light.
Dude, I've been holding this back for a while now, but Green Lantern was NOT THAT BAD.
As a Green Lantern movie, it was pretty servicable, a lot of the characters are there and pretty close to how they're suposed to be, the whole explaination of what the rings are and how they do what they do is strait out of the comics and the only thing I can think of as to why this movie is ooohhhh so bad is that they changed Paralax.
Everything else is fine, Ryan Reynolds is a good actor, the discussions Hector Hammond has about the supposed "First alien on earth" is well presented, and it has just the right kind of humour in it so that it's not boring. Plus, we finally have a female love interest who isn't a dumbass, "You thought I couldn't recognise you because I can't see your cheek bones?" has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a superhero movie for a long time.
OK, I'll admit that sometimes the CG looks a little off, but other times it's quite a visual marvel as well (Pun intended). Plus, if your problem is because of the CG looking bad, then that's a pretty shallow argument, it's pretty much the same thing that the transformers movie fans say when they look at the action scenes and go "Woooah, that looks totally awsome!!!" but in reverse. Focus on the story and characters, everything else is a bonus.

They're remaking Straw Dogs? Why?
I mean, wasn't Peckinpah's original version gritty and harsh enough, that's it worth ruining it down with fameless B-movie actors? At least put good character actors in this.

I think it's worth remembering that Margaret Thatcher was a product of the times. I can understand how she ended up pissing a lot of people off but I don't think she deserves quite the level of hatred she gets. Before she came in the unions were genuinely being wholly unreasonable. Doing shit work and then having the gall to hold the country to ransom over every little thing and as a result their own industries were collapsing around them. Meanwhile the government had so far been content to just bend over and spread their arseholes wide for it. For want of a better phrase, we needed someone with some fucking balls, and she was that person.Stabby Joe said:
I wouldn't want to see a fully positive portrayal, but what would piss me off even more is a fully negative one, because that would be just as inaccurate and would just be lazily pandering to what the British public want to hear.
Hey Bob, you should try and catch Red Dog, an Australian movie that came out recently, I saw it the other day and it was a damn good movie, if it does release in your part of the world, I highly recommend it, it's set to sweep the Australian Movie Awards, not that that is an achievement, but still, it's great.

For the record. The first Happy Feet sucked... epicly. That is 108 minutes I will never get back... ever. I will not gamble with a second.
OT: I am S-T-O-K-E-D for the new Tin Tin film! I grew up with that guy, now Speilburg is doing a film! FTW!

What the heck was that ending line? Might as well have ended it "So that's what the rest of the year looks like and thank God... for me."
Except you didn't have Jim's sarcasm, it was sincere.
