Plus Liam Neeson! He is so dreamy.

ok for the A-Team fans...piccie


Also I took my son to see Fantastic Mr Fox. I love it, I reckon it's going to be a must own on Blu-ray. Everything is spot on & very close to the book...& then some! Wes Anderson has taken the basic story & made sure that it makes sense to kids & adults. Lots of adult soul searching & general slap stick for the kids. Brilliant movie

Oh the Jarvis c--ker cameo is brilliant

[dave_mc]

oh, so i guess the dude on the left is face? Is he the guy who used to be in alias?

[_tom_]

Just got back from seeing Michael Jackson - This Is It. Dont have any words other than $%&#ing epic! Looked like an absolutely amazing show, the amount of work gone into it is ridiculous.

It's Bradley Cooper, yes he was in Alias, apparently (I've never watched it).

I've only seen him in a couple of horror movies - The Midnight Meat Train and Case 39.  He was in The Hangover, too, so I guess he's a man of the moment!

It's weird how they've made Neeson look so much like George Peppard (assuming that's actually a photo and not just a Photoshop creation).

[dave_mc]

alias was pretty good, though I've only seen the first two seasons... one of those things which didn't take off over here, despite much worse stuff taking off...

i think he was in the wedding crashers too.

Apparently in that pic he's also auditioning for thunderbirds... o_O

time for another "i watched it so you don't have to!" warning... couple of nights ago i watched the jerk theory, it was on sky in the middle of the night. in my defence, there'd been nothing else on all night, and the premise sounded mildly amusing (nice guy at high school decides to act like a dick to get more girls)... that's my excuse for breaking my "if it's a new film and you haven't heard of it, there's probably a reason" rule...

anyway, it was abysmal. offensively bad. and i'm pretty sure one of the guys who was playing one of the high school kids was about 30.

Actually i just checked, the guy i thought was 30 was actually 26. :lol: But the other guy who looked younger was like 28.   :?

EDIT: wahhhhhhhhhh? some cretin on imdb gave it 8 stars, and commented on how great it was that there were strong ties to music (it sounded like nsync with guitars, except lamer). Which also reminds me, there was ridiculously blatant product placement by Fender throughout, which annoyed me even more.

Watched Zombieland on Saturday, it was truly awesome.

How did you manage that?  According to IMDB it's not even released until next year - or is that the remake?  :lol:

[dave_mc]

yeah, i noticed that when i saw it on IMDB, that's where i had to get my info as there was nothing on wiki (with good cause).

My guess is that either imdb is wrong, or sky must have got an advance screening or something (involved in the funding?) :?

I dunno, it was definitely on a couple of nights ago on one of the sky movie channels. :lol:

Snap.
What a great film.
My girlfriend thought it was good as well and she thinks my fascination with zombies is childish.
Mock me she may.
She won't be mocking when the zombies come and she's not ready.
I however have my survial plan in place and am totally prepared

[MDV]

I saw deathrace.

It wasnt utterly offensively bad, I actually thought very occasionaly that I was watching paul verhoven in his better days from time to time (the blatent attacks on the vapid and brainless parts of comerce), but it sucked overall. It tried to be a bit clever, and it wasnt in the least.

Now, starship troopers 3, thats what I call a quality evenings etertainment!
