Who fucking rated Outland a c+?

Watched the South Korean monster movie The Host.

Whether it's Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Chicom, their humor never translates well in films;  it's always simplistic, unwieldy and awkwardly placed.

Eh, that movie was funny enough for a creature feature.

You might like The Thirst. It's about a Korean Catholic priest who becomes a vampire. Not a very funny movie, though.

Last night a group of us went to see Back to the Future at the cinema. :punk:
True classic. One of the best things America has ever done.
Though....I'm sure cracked has already said this......but the end where they have Biff just freely in their house and all friendly with the family- wtf? He tried to rape Marty's mother and they're all chummy-chummy? Ah the 50s, a simpler time, a better time....

Biff is not all friendly with the family.  River Phoenix has achieved alpha male dominance over him and Biff is now his gofer, his lackey, his underling.

Not everybody can be expected to understand cinematic concepts like alternate history endings.

Trouble with the Curve. Alright I guess. Bit long in the tooth.

I can never keep those two straight.  They're the American version of Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole.

I don't see it. I think Phoenix looked more like Leo DiCaprio or a scrawny Val Kilmer.

Watched the 1st season of Game of Thrones last weekend over the course of two days. Pretty good. I'll get season 2 when it's out.

Boardwalk empire. Still an awesome show. Love buscemi. Great creepy looking actor.

Saw Dredd.  I found it to be pretty good.  They did a good job of making a claustrophobic sort of action movie which was ultimately just a drug bust.  No vast conspiracy, no saving the world.  Sorta high-tech, but in a believable way (still roads, and cars, and guns, and slums).  Another thing that I was impressed by is how different makeup teams with different goals can change an actress so much.  Lena Headley is regally beautiful as Cercei Lannister, but pretty horrible as Ma-ma.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

It was a B+ or an A until the last twenty minutes.  The assassins were so inept it wound up an anticlimax.
