Eh, i was kinda okay with the love story. It showed that he struggled trying to love her and protect her in the same time, a classic superhero problem.
Well, I guess there's way too much of the love story that makes people hate it.

What I dont like is that they basically did what Spiderman 3 did. Cram in as many villains as possible in a movie.
Electro is suppose to be a great villain but they pretty much screwed it up. His reason for being evil was way too silly.
Goblin was decent, meh.

I feel like they should stick to 1 villain per movie like what Nolan did in the batman trilogy.
More villains = crappy villains
Which makes me worry for the upcoming Sinister Six movie that they had plan.

Watched Locke last night. Surprisingly even is it's only Tom Hardy driving his bmw and talking on the phone for the whole damn movie it's amazingly good.

still thinking if i want to watch this...

yes becos it's tom hardy. no becos it's unlike other movies...

i can think of 4 similar ones...

phone booth - colin farrell in phone booth, little else
buried - ryan reynolds in a coffin, little else
all is lost - robert redford on a boat
gravity - sandra bullock in a spacecraft but with george clooney

what next? one person movie... on a bicycle, on a tree branch?

Got 1 movie quite similar with Buried, I can't remember the title. The movie not bad...
Wrecked (2011) - One man show.
127 Hours (2011) - One man show.

ya, i remember that one, think it's 127 hours - about a mountain climber falling and trapped under rocks. the whole 2 hrs shows him under the rocks...!!

wrecked... can't remember if i watched it.

Haha, 127 Hours better than Wrecked... Further more 127 Hours is a true story...

AVFAN: I remember now, the movie is BRAKE (2012).....

need for speed divergent spiderman 2

Yes, saw it on the cinema. Ok only.

Cast Away by Tom Hanks. Not a true story though.

Blended (2014)

Okay, let's cut through the chase.

How bad is this movie?

Frankly, it is pretty up there!!!

Okay, if you had watched The Love Guru (2008), this is almost as bad...

Bottom line, Adam Sandler tried SO hard to make this funny and it ended up counter intuitive...

It does have two (2) good parts
And the absolutely worst thing about this movie is
Well, if you watch it after reading this, you cannot say I did not try to warn you...

Godzilla 2014, unexpected story. Good movie (My 2cents)

Human centipede. It was bad

godzilla.... worst movie of 2014.

should be called darkzilla.

becos first 80% of the movie is in 80% darkness, can't see much. last 20% in 95% darkness.

you can will fall asleep in the last 25 min.

ya, power blackout, nuclear clouds, sunset, nightime.... but bad for movie.

unlike, say battleship or pacific rim, all is bright, all aliens, spacecraft, monsters in full color and bright.

thread quiet... must be becos currently, a dearth of blockbuster movies...

meantime, i hv 3 concerts to recommend - if the music genre suits u:

air supply live in hong kong 2013
the 2 aussies are getting old, all white hair but can still croon and woo the romantics.
the concert hall looks cheap, nothing much to look at but the music captured is good.
1980's reminiscence, love songs, pop-rock.
in dts hdma, bass a bit heavy, test yr subwoofer.
overall, quite a blast for 100 mins.


sarah brightman dreamchaser world tour 2013
brightman looking plump but still the grand soprano.
this concert hasn't got all her lloyd webber's greatest hits but time to say goodbye, neesun dorma and phantom of the opera are there.
most striking in this concert is the impressive use if laser lights and a stage size curved screen as background.
in dts hdma.


zz top live in montreux 2013
texan trio of husty hill, frank beard and billy gibbons continues.
as usual the longbeards rock like they always do.
all familiar songs - la grange, tosh, got me under presssure, etc.
dts hdma, play loud!

Just wnodering, where do you guys usually source for 1080p? Piratebay? Any other nice sites?

I don't think there is another better source

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)

I am an avid Disney fan.

Disney as a movie company isn't "perfect".

There are some older movies that played on, lacking a better "racial stereotype", so much so that the company does not even contemplate releasing them on home video (VHS, DVD & Bluray. A movie comes to mind is Song of the South [1946]). Don't know which movie I am talking about? Without that movie, we would not have the Academy Award winning song, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah!!

Don't get me wrong, this is not a racist movie (er.. there is that German scene), what I want to impress on you here is that there are older Disney movie, that I find.... coining a more current vocabulary, meh!!!

While Disney was making Mary Poppins (1964) even when producing the movie, Disney did not get the book to movie rights from the author (Saving Mr Banks [2013] anyone?). In one of these desperate moments where Disney feels he cannot get the rights to Mary Poppins, the Sherman Brothers who were working on the music for Mary Poppins where ask to work on music for another book. One which Disney had gotten the movie rights to, namely Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

A few songs were written, and then Disney got the rights to Mary Poppins and it was full steam ahead for Mary Poppins.

After Walt's passing, the Sherman Brothers left Disney, and in 1970, they were invited back, to further work on Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Disney was hoping for another family oriented movie like Mary Poppins. The movie was completed in 1971, and one week later, Walt's brother, Roy, passed away....

What am I going on about?

The story in this movie is plenty HAPHAZARD!!!

Supposedly, the lady lead Angela Lansbury, because of the special effects was told how to act, and she was very unhappy about that, and it shows...

Another issue which I think could have made the story so, was that they cut a three hour movie into less than two, so that the theaters could play the movie more often during the release....

Just a very clunky movie...

The bluray version have alot of extended scene and cut scene and instead of putting them back into the movie, they was put in the supplementary section instead...

Clunky.

I can see how the movie can be appealing to the really young'un.

I cannot remember if I saw this when I was young...

I however remember watching it on TV... so....

Clunky. Not a great classic in my books. And I am saying this, as an AVID fan of Disney movies....

Please understand that this is JUST an opinion.

The Internship (2013)

I don't like Vince Vaughn. I just don't!!

Having said that, I was actually surprise I like this.

In this bad economic times and with jobs getting scarce what happened to Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is occurring more and more often.

What I like most about this movie is the can do attitude of Vince Vaughn's character, even when the chips are down.

An entertaining comedy, with actually really good life learn.

Watch it if you haven't

Dry season, not much movies to watch.

Reboot "The Bourne"

ya, been a dearth of movies for many moons. bourne... i never get tired of watching bourne 1-2-3-4!


since lousy godzilla, a couple of good ones have arrived:

edge of tomorrow, a syfy flick. the idea of time travel and resetting timelines is not new, been used in many movies incl timeline 2003 and stephen chow's a chinese odyysey pandora's box. edge of tomorrow just has a diff setting and purpose. tom cruise is good, as usual. effects are reasonable, dtshdma audio is good. 3.5/5.



transformers age of extinction. rotten tomatoes gave it 18%! no great drama to expect from such a movie, but i somehow like it, maybe becos of mark wahlberg rather than lebeouf. all the bots come with slightly changed outfits but recognisable. great action like the 3 predecessors, superb audio with ddtruehd. 3.5/5.



now, wait for x-men days of future past and dawn of the planet of the apes ... probably the last two good movies for the year.
