Finally saw Edge of Tomorrow and Gone Girl!
Liked very much both, the first is a good sci-fy film, no complicated or over explain story, great action scenes and laugh in various moments. I feel sorry not seen in the movie theatre. Gone Girl, even seeing the honest trailer before, knowing a few things of the story, do to reading a lot after the film come out, it nail me to the chair until to end, to see what, who, when and how would end. Not many movies do this to me! The actress is a great eye candy and represents great her character! |

But the technical stunts were amazing. The hypercar building jump was very cool. And the mountain road scenes were very cool, very western train robberyish. As a side note, read an article about the engines of all the cars. They stripped all the stock engines from all the cars, and replaced with them with I believe Dodge V8's. That way the cars would all have the same power bands and perform similarly so the driver's could perform more precise manuevers. I can only imagine the headache their mechanics had to go through to mate all those engines to the frames. |

And really, they made them out of order, you have to watch them 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7 for everything to be linear. There's some holes and errors here and there but they're very entertaining and they've got some deep themes. Quote:
![]() The mountain scenes were a nod to the original 2001 movie...along with many other things in the movie. In the first movie Toretto and his crew of street racers robbed trucks on the road with riced-out Honda Civics with similar tactics. Quote:
![]() I don't know how they managed to do that. There's that blue Subaru....doubt it had room for a big V8...but i've seen crazier things. I've seen a V8 Ford Focus build that was pretty wicked.

I had my birthday a few weeks ago, I had the celebration yesterday.
Mostly I got money, from my Little sister, who know I love English humour especially Monty Python, I got Monty Python's Holy Trinity and of course money. Going to have some hours of good laugh. Markus |

Tora! Tora! Tora!
8/10 Now, what a masterpiece! I know I have seen it, at least partially, when I was very young but of course that kind of movie rarely catches the interest of the youngest. Last night I stumbled upon it on my "to-watch-list" and man, this movie was great from start to finish and absolutely not biased. The Japanese were neither depicted as wild, mind and heartless savages (like so often) while some Americans where shown as careless/incompetent/wrong - what a fascinating and refreshing point of view. I was afraid that the attack itself might not work out well for today's standards but in fact I was surprised about some of the well done scenes, not goofy at all and for sure not as over-dramatized, pompous and full of pathos as 'Pearl Harbor' depicted the attack, together with Hans Zimmer's most cheesy score. On top, they even used a in the movie, which looked just too real to me while watching it. Well that explains a lot. ![]() |

Yes, I have to agree TTT was a good movie.
In the opening scenes, what year was the Ford rag top the guys are cruising around in?

Not a movie, but we don't have a TV series thread!
Finished watch Marvel Daredevil, it is great! The best super-hero tv series adaptation! The cast and their performers are very good and the fight scenes are wonderfully choreographed! ![]() |

Read in a Car&Driver we had floating around the station house years ago, they took a stock Focus, and put into it the same amount of money that a stock Lambo Gallardo (No idea on spelling there!) would cost. Then they put them through the same courses/tests. The focus came out faster on the 1/4 mile, test track and all the other tests, including passenger space, room for baby carseats, and trunk (boot) space.
Think this is the article, guess it's motortrend. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...hini_gallardo/ |

Just seen the first hour or so of 'Olympus has Fallen'.
Well...it's got action, and explosions, and some good actors...but, yeah...cliché as hell, even down to the bullet holes in the American flag, and it really rather makes the American secret service look completely inept and North Koreans like some form of ubermensch. I find it very hard to believe that someone in the FBI would not notice a bulk shipment of 50 cals and explosives. Not to mention a C-130 appearing from nowhere and getting that close to the capital before being intercepted, and only one SAM launcher in the vicinity of the White House, and no MANPADs. The only scenario that stood half a chance there was the backpack bombs and the possible double-crossing Korean security service agents, the rest...nope. And Cerberus just undermines the whole point of having an ICBM arsenal if they can be blown up in mid-flight, which is exactly why ICBMs do not have an off switch, because there are multiple fail-safes to prevent someone launching one in the first place. ![]() Still, as a Die Hard action flick I imagine it'll tick all the boxes, but at least the first three Die Hards tried to keep some semblance of plausibility. ![]() |

Hey, don't knock it so hard....I found it thoroughly entertaing when it was first released....one of my favourite parts being when the two terrorists were tied up and questioned about who was in charge of the bad boys.
Still got it on one of my hard drives if I'm tbh ![]()

Not good at explaining a movie. I'll give it 2½ sub out of 5. This I can say...during the movie I got remembrance of old Soviets propaganda movies. Markus |
