I've seen the trailers for Belle when I watch PBS (Nova, Nature, Frontline etc.) online and made a mental note -
'Miss this'.

It might be a good 'chick flick'.

Pompeii  - A real disaster

LOL... the ending was volcanically corny.

I am not a fan of "chick flicks", but I am interested in human behaviour, particularly back in those days. It is interesting to compare the behaviour of people today. If any guys do see it, I would be interested in your views.   I saw "The other woman" starring Cameron Diaz but it didn't do much for me as it was a "chick flick" I had to see because it was the only one left for me to see in the Theatre.

If you want to see a crude film, see "Bad Neighbours" starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. They talked too much and too fast for me and I didn't really need to see a baby chewing a condom he found on the front lawn. bibibibibi

Hostel I, II, and III.  Some vacations end badly. Very, very badly.   uuuuuuuuuu  Definitely not for the squeamish. aaaaaaaaaa

Snow Piercer.  I tried to like this movie, but couldn't.  Brainless shoot-em-ups are usually fun, but this wasn't.  I'd say this new low in slow-motion train wrecks made the extinction of humanity look like the best of all possible options. kkkkkkkkkk  If you want death, action, and adventure in an unusual environment, get a copy of Snakes on a Plane.

Tokarev.  Nice try at an "vengeance leads to more sorrow" movie, but when the final source of the weapon is revealed, they don't explain how the guy was stupid enough to retain such a thing in such an easily accessed location or why the cops didn't ever bother to pursue such an obvious possibility.  Those 2 yawning chasms of plot holes sort of ruined what was a very noble concept.

Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing.  Who knew Joss could do such an incredibly great job messing about a bit with Shakespeare? agagagagag

Dead Snow (finally got my wife to watch this one agagagagag).  Let's see.  A remote cabin and some clueless students on vacation.  Just add one or more heartless killing machines to complete the equation.  Zombies?  Not bad, but more is needed.  In this case, more is provided.
Nazi Zombies. hhhhhhhhhh
I'm pro-cloning and we vote!               Why isn't this card colored green?

"HEALING" starring Hugo Weaving and Don Hany will probably be of interest to the Aussies over there. This story is inspired by true events and is set in a low security Prison farm 200 km outside of Melbourne in regional Victoria.  The senior case worker (Hugo Weaving) has established a unique program to rehabilitate broken men through giving them the responsibility for the rehabilitation of injured raptors - beautiful, fearsome proud eagles, falcons and owls.  Against all odds, Hugo takes on Don Hany as his number one test case, introducing him to Yasmine, the majestic Wedge-tailed Eagle with a two metre wing span. If these two can tame each other, then anything is possible.  Being a country person for most of my life, I really enjoyed this show, given that we nursed many creatures back to their being able to be released into their native habitat. bfbfbfbfbf

"A million ways to die in the west"  starring Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron. The verdict is that it is filthy but fun.  I was a bit surprised at some of the toilet humour and the curse words used. It riffs on the peculiarities of the 1880's such as the high value of the dollar and the fact that no one smiles in photos. My old neighbour said "that was fun wasn't it" which surprised me, particularly given scenes like the sheep with human looking penises. aoaoaoaoao

"MALEFICENT" starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning etc. was an interesting movie. I wasn't going to bother seeing it, but I'm not sorry that I did. It is the story about a beautiful pure hearted  young girl who became the evil fairy princess who cursed Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. I know it doesn't sound like a guy's movie, but there were guys in the audience. I suspect that they came to perv on Angelina. I loved the visual effects. bfbfbfbfbf

300 Rise of an Empire

Possibly the stupidest movie ever. A vastly homoerotic collection of grandiose, pompous accents with shaven chests but still they had beards - seriously, not a chest hair amongst them all but they had beards? - and worse: actually quite dull. Gouts of blood everywhere, people skewered on spears, boats crushing one another like some totally legitimate oil prospecting in international waters and yet, kinda boring. Not knowing enough to be camp, not substantive enough to be cathartic.

There were boobs though. There were boobs everywhere. I thought the manchests would never end.

They were chiseled manchests of glory. Ergo, clean shaven. Possibly waxed.

I agree completely. It was one of the most disappointing movies I have seen recently.

I'm surprised you were disappointed. Did you not see 300? A sequel to a steaming pile was bound to be a larger steaming pile.
