supervike Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 So, Ironman would be okay for my 8 yo? Well, you know that's a loaded question. My 12 year old loved it, but some of the action is a bit intense and over the top....I'd say yes, but i don't want to be responsible for a scarred childhood!!! There were several little tots in the theatre when we went, and all seemed fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaintMinion Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Acclaimed (in their own living room) movie critics, Art and Sue Wachowski give Ironman a FULL four thumbs up. There is a very brief ...ehem...affair, and the bombing and sniper scene in the beginning was a bit too close to Iraq reality. I was uncomfortable with it and would not bring an 8 year old. I'm thinking the 8 year old will love everything else, but again, the middle east scenes I think might be too much for an 8 year old right now. Maybe in the comfort of your own living room, with the parental distraction method employed, an 8 year old would breeze through the worst parts. They wouldn't catch the psychological nuances. Then again, I'm not sure Art did either. ;-) Wachowski Four Thumbs Up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon_Wulf Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well I'v no idea what Mr. Jackson is going on about there. Might go see the film, might not, it hasn't really excited me TBH. And if it is a choice between that and the new Joy Division documentary, I know what i'd rather go see. But Joy Division is only getting a limited release at small cinemas, hopefully the Tyneside cinema will get it in. Ohhhh.... this ought to be good - I loved Control last year.

matty1001 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Control was amazing, best film released in a very long while. A real gem, but it didn't get the publicity it deserved IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderhawkerMinis Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I took him. We both loved it. He is extremely bright and seems to comprehend the difference between cartoony movie violence and the real deal. I was a soldier for eight years and his step dad is in the Navy. We make it a point to make sure its a subject he understands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehard Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I totally loved the first two Mummy movies, more than I actually thought I would. In fact, they're two of the very few DVD's that I actually bought. Although this looks loke more of the same, that's a good thing in my book.

Nathan Caroland Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Went and watched the latest (last?) Indiana Jones movie last night with the family. A fun piece, love the time that they put these films in, but I have to admit it seemed like a bit of a last 'hurrah' for the film and it was a bit lacking in some regards. Fun, but a renter in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I kinda liked those Mummy movies too..although they are a bit over the top...Still quite fun and a great 'popcorn' move. I hadn't heard there was a new one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblyn13 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I watched this tonight. It is unfortunately time that I won't be able to get back. (grrr) Never heard of it, was it straight to video or was it actually at a theater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I had a pleasant surprise with a straight to DVD movie today...(well I think it was as I can't remember it being at the cinema..) Dragon wars..... not the greatest writing in the world but just a cool gang of monsters kicking the shit out of a city and one of the best chinese dragonsI've seen put to film....kinda feel it was just lacking a big studios support to be a real treat.. but maybe that's just me..

It had a trip of about 2 weeks in the US cinema and was pretty much panned. as a movie it had pretty decent effects, story was kinda contrived IMHO.

supervike Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Daniel Craig is the BEST Bond since Sean Connery...and he's beginning to give him a run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Took the family to see Hancock yesterday and I have to say that it was a fantastic movie! Not what I expected to be honest ... well, that's not true, the first half of the movie was exactly what I expected, it is the last half of the movie that took a hell of a curve ball that I didn't see coming (a nice surprise that) and the actual back story behind who Hancock is is rather neat, though they leave a lot of unanswered questions. Anyhow, great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonherald Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 yup looks good doesn't it...?? hope it's a bit pacier than 300 that director tends to go for artsy and romantic over full tilt action.. Terminator looks interesting too .. Christian Bale as John connor....saw that trailer the other day although it doesn't give much away.

supervike Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 That Watchmen trailer looks fantastic! Watchmen is arguably the best 'comic' book ever written, at least the best 'superhero' story, but I just worry how it will translate to film. Visually, should be no problem, but the story is so filled with metaphor and double meaning, I think the subtext will be lost.... It's one of those books that you read and find something new in it each time. It's amazing how many visual clues that were put into the art, that once you go through it for subsequent readings, things fall into place like a fine puzzle. I just started reading it again for the upteenth time, and I'm still blown away by it's complexity, timing, and mood. And, sort of like how I felt with The Lord of the Rings being put onto film....I worry that future audiences will not read the book because they figure they'd already 'seen' the movie. That will be their loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderhawkerMinis Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) I need to get a new copy of watchmen. And old GF of mine absconded with mine, and I haven't replaced it yet. I am surprised that no one has mentioned The Dark Knight yet. Phenomenal movie! Heath ledger was totally believeable as a psycho and should get an Oscar nod. Saw Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D Saturday. Had it not been in 3D, it would have been a bit of a yawner, but the giant pirahna leaping out of the water at you tends to keep you visually stimulated.

My brother went and saw The Dark Knight....said it was phenomenal! I meant to go see it, but softball tourneys took up our whole weekend. My sister went and saw JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH...but the damn theater didn't have the 'capability' to do it in 3-d. She demanded (and got) a refund.
