Airplane! did it much better.

Yeah, T3 has some interesting stuff going for it. Good action setpieces, an unexpected ending... certainly not a patch on the first two, but not as terrible as Salvation (I haven't seen Genysis)

Almost surprised we haven't seen some kinda contrived Alien vs. Predator vs. Terminator yet.

Predators save humanity from SkyNet by hunting Terminators!

Saw Exodus, Gods and Kings.

There are some very interesting things happening, but then, it's like all the best part were cut during post-production.   The whole piece lacks cohesion, and Christian Bale is totally wooden.

The author starts on a path of atheism, where Moses' vision is "inspired" from an accident and a rock hitting his head, then he moves to full blown theism with God saving the day with his plagues (despite the Egyptian scientist offering rational explanations).

Imho, the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston was better.

You should review more Schwarzenegger movies in general. Predator and True Lies are a must.

And don't forget THEM! :angry:

True Lies is a blast, great Ahnnanold flic.

Hey, you're peaching to the choir. :)

Re: Schwarzenegger, I've got a powerful need to watch Commando.

So, it seems that the Star Wars movie Rogue One (about stealing the Death Star plans in prelude to Ep. 4) will feature "a Moff" and the bounty hunter gallery from ESB as villains. With one new edition: Cad Bane from Clone Wars.

Review of the movie Pixels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=11&v=BFD2293oGvA

The reviewer ... didn't like it.

That guy should get off the fence and tell us what he really thinks. Does he like it or not? I hate ambivalent critics.

I see it was as bad as any logical person would have assumed seeing the previews. I mean do we really need 80s stereotypes in 2015 movies?

Whenever I see there's a new Adam Sandler movie that includes parts of his usual entourage (e.g. Kevin James) I expect a turd of the highest caliber. He's to comedy what Uwe Boll is to video game movies.

Speaking of which: how come Boll isn't the director on this? :D

Yet Sandler still has fans and his movies still make money. How, dear God, did Jack and Jill make so much money? How?

Looking at recent releases that I missed in cinemas that are just out for rental here in Spain: Home, Chappie, Focus, the new Marigold flick, Selma... what should I see from this lot?  Looking mostly for Friday night entertainment here.
