I never knew about the extra tidbits, Untill a freind at wotk told me to stay and watch after the main credits on the last Thor movie. If you have seen the last wolverine pic, I was suprised who showed up. [/quote] Old James |

I've got in the habit now at the cinema of watching everything till the end of the credits - just in case I miss something. Often end up looking like a lemon with an usher breathing down my neck and threatening to vacuum me up with the popcorn :) |

Tonight we are planning to see "Draft Day" with Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner. Apparently it is about the NFL, so I am not convinced I will like this movie. However, we have seen everything else we think is worth seeing. Last Sunday we went to see the matinee performance of The Grand Budapest Hotel, which had and impressive cast and was very enjoyable, so we can't see that tonight. I will let you know if this sports movie is any good. I am pretty sure there won't be any robots with lasers in it. However, I have seen some sports movies that were very good, like Moneyball and Trouble With the Curve. Reality Internet Personality |

If you don't feel like going out, and have access to Amazon Prime via Roku or the like, I'd recommend an older movie ... 1993, I think ... K-Pax. Much like the book, and changes were approved by the author. Won't tell you more, except that it may or may not be science fiction. Trailer |

Much like the book, and changes were approved by the author. Won't tell you more, except that it may or may not be science fiction. We went to an eariler showing because Mr99 finished work early. The movie was actually pretty good despite being about American football. I know absolutely nothing about American football apart from some large people run in spurts back and forth with a funny shaped ball. Despite this the movie wasn't bad at all and it was a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours. Lots of eye candy for the ladies. I am very familiar with KPax the movie and have seen it many times. Its a great movie, but sadly a favourite of my ex, so it always reminds me of him now, which ruins it a bit :( Reality Internet Personality |

I saw Walk The Line (bout Johnny Cash) again last night, such a good movie... This clip still stops me dead in my tracks..........

Yeah, if you're not an American, well, football is interesting, but the details are not easy to pick up. I think it's our only right-of-passage for males, and so most have to take part viscerally, since there are only so many spots on the team. I prefer tennis and archery, but that's just me. I associate so well with Prot. I know things that are not easy to associate with words. Thoughts, really. Concepts. Things beyond concepts. Images perhaps. I don't remember how the movie really ends. The theatrical release in any case. I remember what may be an alternate ending that explains most. Prot is being walked in his wheelchair, quite catatonic, and it is then that you understand that the whole movie was in his mind. Posturing what he knows and could imagine to be his imaginary world. I live in such a world at times......... And this is an important point that some of you might grasp. I..Mark....... The human being known as Mark. Am not based here so much as you may think, but from a land beyond the stars. I know conceptual reality is a thing hard to believe. The older I get, the more I believe in it. Faith is harder to explain to some then string theory. And it's roots go back to when one was born......I wish I could explain it better to you, but I cannot. I simply cannot image my mind to you to explain all of my meanderings. Some here consider me a mindless town idiot. I assure you, I am NOT. Some have other labels for me. Fine. You are free to call me what you wish. They are YOUR labels. If they work for you to associate me with a concept in YOUR mind......hey, have at it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I just got my Roku3 working and set up with my NetFlix account. I could spend the next six months sitting in front of my big TV but I am trying to limit myself to one or two movies or programs per day Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required.

There won't be a movie this Friday, because we are going on our honeymoon. Maybe someone else can post a review (no spoilers please). Reality Internet Personality |

I read the book but I think I've also always fallen asleep in the film. I try to stay awake for the bit where Johnny Depp gets freaked out by "the door... is ajar" though :) |

The movie tonight was "Transcendence" with Johnny Depp. It was about a man who uploads himself into a computer. If the actors were meant to give robotic performances, then I'd say they did a great job. Hubbie thought it was very dull. I'm inclined to agree with him, although I wasn't quite so damming as he was. I'm guessing the whole thing was meant to be a meaningful allegory of something, I could tell because there were lots of close up slow motion shots of nature things with music going on in the background. However, I am not altogether sure what it was trying to meaningful about. It didn't really plug into any current Zeitgeist that I could think of, so I was left with a feeling of "so what". So for anyone who is super concerned about the implications of creating artificial intelligence, you might find it done better elsewhere. Robopocalypse is a good book. Go read that instead.

Es, thank you for your review. I had been reading about this production in the press and I was hoping that it would have been more insightful. I must tell you that as a Sci-Fi reader, this subject has been one of some speculation over many years. (For me from the early sixties.) I am sorry to hear that it was not so well done. |

Ive seen the clips on TV. It looked like it might be good. ES, Are you saying the clips are the best part of the movie? [/quote] Old James |
