Hm... thought that movie was dull as fuck. Especially Gervais.

I thought that was a fantastic little film. Then again, I had really low expectations. I thought that Gervais was hilarious and the movie was ultimately sweet.

Land of the Lost

Not that bad.

Better than T3 which is all I was hoping for really.
The spent a lot to make something (still) not quite the feel of either the first two.
The post-judgment day future was interesting to see.
I have to say though, it didn't really make me give a shit about the characters.
The Arnie t800 model thing was fine, no real issue there.
Good, entertaining, but very different.

Saw this last night at the drive in and I really enjoyed it. Maybe it was just the drive-in atmosphere, cause sitting in a car with fresh air and the ability to talk as loud as I want would make any movie better. Anton Yelchin is quickly becoming a favourite actor, and his American accent only cracked once. Also, I didn;t really like any terminator movie until this one, nor did I pay a lot of attention to the first 3 cause I'm just not that into action movies. That said, I understood everything that was going on with the time line so that's a positive.

Also saw The Hangover. It wasn't great but I laughed more than I expected too.

It as funny, we bought along bunches of chips, microwave popcorn, candy, soft drinks, chocolate etc to the value of about $8AUD per head (same stuff at cinema prices would exceed $15, easy) and just ate through most of the film...got pretty filled up there.
My stuff was near the stereo, so I accidentally fucked with the volume and went to different radio stations sometimes.
One thing I've never thought of, see, I never go, but I saw some people reversing their cars to watch from their back seats? Is that better?
I had to tell my friend who doesn't appreciate concepts like this that just because he was in his own car, I don't want him talking on the phone during the film...ech...
And seriously, I smelled SO much weed being burnt up in there...I was huddled down in the back seat hitting my vaporizer thinking about how slick I was being and there must've been people everywhere just burning joints.

You should check out the series then...yes it's action but IMO a lot better'n #3 (not hard) and follows on from #2 quite nicely, delves into a lot of not-terminator stuff too.
If you're not into action that much maybe give the first one another chance at some point, in my opinion it's more a scifi/thriller than anything else.

That's funny, having seen him in Alpha Dog first I had no idea he was actually russian...so the Chekov accent was much more for-real than I'd assumed. Kid does a great job hiding it...and yeah, I find him to be a pretty cool young talent.
I noticed that the Aussie guy (Marcus) slipped into an almost fully Aussie accent with the "I don't give a shit about you" line. He kept it pretty solid though, I actually liked his character more than any in the film, though I couldn't help but to think they'd just orchestrated yet another "good terminator" situation just because...

Dude, there were people 50's style in classic cars with the roof down. A couple pulled up in a VW van and watched from their back seat, played frisbee til it got dark. It smelled like weed, fresh air and bonfires (cause it's out in the country and people burn leaves and shit.) We brought chips and pop too, and hid them under a blanket. The concession stand was like walking into the 50s but in a not renovated since then kinda way but I loved it. Plus 2 movies for $9 Canadian, triple bill for $10 and dusk til dawn (4 movies) for $11 a person. For a theater here it's $9 per person for 1 movie and impossible to sneak in your own stuff. I will never go to the theater in the summer again.

That's so dodgy, not being able to bring in your own stuff....even at a standard cinema, I mean I can understand not like bringing in a huge hamburger/curry or some other messy shit that'd stink up the place, but Anything? that's nuts...I nearly always hit up the supermarket for drinks and food.

The $10AUD for 2 movies is about as good as it gets here, and it's one brand-new movie, and one at the middle or end of it's run from the look of things.
I'd LOVE it if they had somewhere you could regularly go for like 3-4 movies in a row, those prices are great too, and they show older stuff over there too from what I've heard? Here, the only movie marathons as theyre called, are on public holidays and at the cinemas...so EVERY asshole rocks up on the same day, and it's just way too crowded, at the best of times I don't like a full cinema.

love the drive-ins....cooler full of beers....lawn chairs.....pack your own food. We had many a good night at the drive-ins....."back in the day". My state is down to one now....shit, thirty years ago we had about ten of them.

Terminator Salvation

I thought this fucking ruled. I thought it did the series justice and I enjoyed the tie in bits from the first two films (Connor's scar etc). This really exceeded my expectations and was one of the few blockbuster flicks I've seen in a long time that lived up to the hype surrounding it. Totally got rid of the bad aftertaste of the third film... loved it.
