Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 14, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 14, 2011 I saw Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Despite the odd title, I really really enjoyed it. There has been talk about whether or not Andy Serkis should get an oscar nomination, it's hard for me to say because you don't know how much is computer and how much is the actor, but regardless his character of Caeser is incredible and I don't see how anyone couldn't root for him. It also fits in nicely with the overall mythology of the previous films for the most part (not including Burton's pile of shite). I can't wait to see it again. One fucking epic moment in paticular sent chills up my spine like very few films have: <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler "Get your hands off me, you damn dirty ape!" NO!

Jas Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Captain America Thought this was good if slightly underwhelming. Highlights: Hugo Weaving, the relationship between Caps and Peggy and the finale which I found quite emotional. 7/10
ozzfan Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Started watching series 2 of French cop show Spiral (Engrenages). It's fab, full of great characters (Gilou~!) and various grisly goings-on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_(TV_series)
Vamp Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Geoffrey Sax's ITV Othello, from 2001 - pretty good, dynamite Christopher Ecclestone, as usual, and interesting twist at the end. Also, weird to watch London shown as riven by race riots, caused by the police killing a black guy. I do like that film. Admittedly Othello is one of my favourite of the Shakespeare's plays anyway (seeing it live as I did in a small pub cellar was an incredible live experiance) but the movie probably stands on tis own, being an adaptation anyway.
Cobra1000 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I've now watched 3 episodes of the re-imagined ThunderCats, and it is awesome. I never really watched the cartoon as a kid so can't tell you how it relates but as a stand alone series I'm completely hooked.
Hyperion Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I've now watched 3 episodes of the re-imagined ThunderCats, and it is awesome. I never really watched the cartoon as a kid so can't tell you how it relates but as a stand alone series I'm completely hooked.Agreed. I like to think its like the old cartoon crossed with Game Of Thrones. I'd say they've aimed it at the adults that watched the old show as a kid and at todays kids to gain a new following and succeeded in that. Check it out if you like the sound that,guys.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 16, 2011 Moderators Posted August 16, 2011 Death Wish 2 is still a true classic. In fact I love them all and could happily watch the five all day long. What's your favourite? Mine's probably 2.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 16, 2011 Moderators Posted August 16, 2011 Death Wish 2 is where his daughter who was made retarded and mute after getting raped in the first one is gang raped (and filmed in an erotic style) and jumps onto a load of spikes to her death out of a window and Laurence Fishburne gets shot through a ghetto blaster.
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted August 17, 2011 Moderators Posted August 17, 2011 Laurence Fishburne gets shot through a ghetto blaster. Tear down the Hollywood sign and stick this sentence up instead.
The King Of Swing Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Always had a soft spot for Death Wish 3 myself even though I think it gets shit on more often then not. EDIT For the BSG viewers/fans here should I watch the extended episodes (I'm about three episode from Pegasus) or just stick with the shorter versions that aired on TV?

There is deffo something very Zelda-esque about it, the journey, the fish guys and those plant dudes. I love the design of it aswell, which is something that has divided people. I just finished the 4th one and am dying to see the next one Edited August 17, 2011 by Cobra1000

Loki Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Isn't he about 70 by the time of Death Wish 3? I have to admit to never having seen any of these - Death Wish 1 never seems to be on. I occasionally catch glimpses of the later ones, but the terrible jackets they all wear put me off.
