So another forum I visit has a thread like this to discuss stuff you have watched recently. Has def helped me find out about a few other movies I would never have heard of otherwise.

Watched Summer Wars over the weekend.


Really enjoyable movie, best full length anime I have seen since The girl who leapt through time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Wars it's about online worlds.


Suzannah and I laughed at one bit. One of the characters plays a virtual online martial arts game. At one point they try and set him up with some gear to play on and he demands a CRT because the HD screen has to many microseconds of lag haha.

One of the most disturbing movies I've ever watched. It's a docudrama from 1984 about the US and Russia getting into a nuclear war, from the point of view of a British town that is near where a nuke is dropped. Basically everything is fucked and Britain is knocked back to the dark ages. You know it's serious when every person who has commented about the movie on imdb says that it gave them nightmares 20 years ago and now after watching it again it's just as traumatic. It's fairly well based on actual scientific data, and the realism is what makes it really chilling.

It also ties in nicely with the following blog post from Fidel Castro not more than a few weeks ago:

Recently watched Bruce Lee's "Way of the Dragon" was OK. But the Bruce Lee Norris fight was really captivating. Finally realised where that Alpha One Birdie/Rose stage comes from.

I saw this a few years back. Holy mother fucker, this movie is brutal. Can't say I had nightmares, though back in the days of the Cold War I could imagine this movie would have peoples minds wandering :o

The ending is horrific imo.

Hot tub time machine - total rubbish
Prince of persia - ok
Daybreakers (again) - pretty cool
The expendables - ok
Date night - boring

I have the 'eden of the east' anime movie to watch soonish, the series was cool.
Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

entertaining movie, even if there's basically no drama of any kind. it has its nasty but hilarious moments, but theyre not too overblown.

Mean g, fuck i seen some rugged as ones ay, need to get the names for them off my mate though.

Richard g, you can have Rob Schneider's ugly daughter lol. I though that movie was pretty dry, considering Adam Sandler and Chris Rock were in it.

You niggaz should watch'kickass'. I honestly though it was badd. I was blazed when i watched it though. It's funny as and got mean action/fighting scenes, and the geek dude fucks this fine ass bitch in it yo.

If weazzy has had enough Diesels he'll probably be down for schneider himself.
<Smoof>
He's the hero NZism deserves.
But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
He's a Niuean Guardian.
A watchful poster.
