He sings. And he does the "David Brent" dance (although only for a few seconds).

I don't want to live in a world where this happens.

I used to be a big fan of Ricky Gervais, but Life's Too Short, Derek and his stand ups since Fame have been shocking. Extras was probably the last good thing he did.

I really liked Derek, but I understand why people wouldn't.

The last really good thing he did was the podcasts ;)

Because people don't like a global celebrity gurning at the camera and making mong faces?

The podcasts were good, especially the early XFM ones.

I watched Captain America: The winter soldier over the weekend, really enjoyed it, the best MArvel CU film since Avengers in my opinion.

One nitpick

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
How did the Winter soldier know Captain America was going to replace the targeting control chip? And given that he did why didn't they just remove them from the other 2?


Really loved

'Attack The Block' is fucking fantastic.

I really hope John Boyega being linked with a role in the new Star Wars movie pans out; he's great.

My brother's in that as an extra.

He's one of the soldiers.

Cos he's a soldier and there's a whole extras company that just casts soldiers as soldiers.

The new Arnie movie Sabotage looks pretty interesting, despite the not exactly stellar reviews. Arnie isn't playing a good guy, which is the first time in a long time, the original Terminator in fact, if you discount that shitty Batman film.

One of the more complimentary reviews is here - http://www.reelviews.net/master.html

Also the writer and director have got good form too, notably Training Day and End Of Watch.

When reviewers use words and phrases like 'an ugly, abrasive and thoroughly charm-resistant bag of slop' and 'The bloodshed is unrelenting and, ultimately, exhausting. There are [only] so many disembowelments and head shots, and bodies torn into pieces you can take' and 'It does have a weird, boldly ugly edge that makes for unexpectedly compelling viewing' I tend to start to want to watch a film all the more.

Trailer here -

Rio 2 is great, except when there are blue birds on the screen. Which is a lot.

One of them is called Mimi, though.

Yeah. The slapstick parts are fabulous, the Avatar-lite bits not so much.

I think if you pick up one the tech of the film, there's a lot more wrong that just that.

The "air conditioning" bit was fucking brilliant. I'm still laughing about that.

Yesterday I saw Rio 2. Which was ok. Not as much fun as the first film but had its moments. Quite liked the avatar ish plot myself. Utterly predictable in every way mind you.

Also I saw Divergent. The plot is utterly silly and ridiculous. At least in terms of the whole scenario of people sorted out into different factions. But if you're prepared to accept it and go with it there's a fairly decent teen action flick there. I quite enjoyed it. To my surprise.

The Battery.

A zombie movie done on a shoestring budget that is stylish, tense, and pretty fresh and original.

It's a bit of a road trip movie, and like all good zombie fiction it primarily focusses on the human relationships.

Highly recommended.

I watched Blue Jasmine (technically, I'm still watching it, but I think this is the end).

I've seen a few films lately. Don't think I've mentioned them here.

Need for Speed - Horrendously predictable, not very well acted and yet I rather enjoyed it.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Pacing is all over the place, sidelines the main villain for most of the film and gets a bit emo. When it's having fun it's superb - such as the 'mundane' heroics like saving people from traffic and kids from bullies etc. But the more 'serious' relationship drama is incredibly tedious as is the whole exploring the relationship with Osborne. And it's about 50 minutes too long. Missed the mark terribly. Though Garfield is brilliant as Spider Man.

Brick Mansions - A fairly average action flick. Nothing special but just about entertaining enough for its brief duration. Did some things I didn't expect so that's good. The end in particular I felt was very good.

POMPeii - Fun swords and sandals that knows not to go overboard into boredom of being an 'epic'. Made by anyone else I'm sure it could have ended up a 3 hour boredom fest but Mr Anderson keeps it nice and short and makes a fun popcorn movie. Delightful pomp from Kiefer as the nasty Roman senator.

Watched the new Robocop film over the weekend and speaking as someone who has the original in his top ten films...I thought it was perfectly serviceable and enjoyed the nods to the original (the music and the 'Soldier Mode').

Why was everyone so wary of the Robocop remake? The director has quite a pedigree when it comes to action films.

I watched Pacific Rim last night, and wasn't that impressed, but I really fancy watching the Toho Kaiju films, can't see any legal cheap/free to watch them (I have seen the original Godzilla when Channel 4 or BBC 2 broadcast it in the 90s)

Anyone aware of any cheap dvd/bluray/streaming boxsets going?

I watched Robocop over the weekend too and it was tired modern storytelling that we've seen a million billion times. It followed all of the yawnsome tropes of modern superhero films.

The two hour run time had less action packed in than the tightly focused original. The original certainly didn't have the first hour devoted to Robocop learning to shoot a gun about a droid army. When Robocop was finally allowed out onto the streets he catches one criminal before going on a rampage because - oh noes - he is still Alex Murphy. In fact, Peter Griffin would be bored in his seat waiting for them to say the film title in the film because it's only mentioned, like, once. The whole film has Alex Murphy referred to by his name, probably because the Film Executives (c) TM have focus tested that an audience won't relate to the man in the machine if he doesn't have a name. It smacks of Hollywood Film Execs (c) TM trying to appease everyone at the same time and failing miserably as they always do.

"He kills people. Killing people is bad. It'll corrupt the children's minds." "Let's get him to only fight robots"
"Will the kids think that he's cool?" "Let's make him have a visor. Kids love things that are black still, right? Make him black. And shiny. Super shiny."
"But he walks about like an asthmatic rhino. The children won't be interested in him lugging himself about." "Make him vault around like a fucking ninja using his brain computer to calculate trajectory and stuff"

And so on. And don't get me started on the Television Show interludes with Samuel L Fucking Jackson in them. What the hell were they about? Pointless. The baddie that killed Robo in the first place? Not even really a baddie. The CCTV crap? Why the hell can't the police just run a computer not attached to a Robot cop through the CCTV from 2011 to find baddies? And then track them. Or watch them do bad stuff. There seemed enough cameras everywhere. It was stupid. Oh, oh, I couldn't care less about this film. Utterly ruined the original which still has a special place in my 80's child; a film I watched a few months ago and could easily be released today and be warmly received.

"Out Of The Furnace" :

Dark, gritty drama/thriller.
Great cast : Christian Bale, Casey Afflek, Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe, Forrest Whitaker etc.
Generally unsurprising & unoriginal, but great acting (Harrelson in particular is a right nasty c**t you wouldn't want to meet up a dark alley !) , mood & direction kept me hooked.
My type of film basically....
8/10 also.


This has been on my watch list since the first reviews came out last year, and it is now 'obtainable' (well it has been for a while I believe, still not on bastard Netflix though).

I agree it's rather formulaic and unoriginal but by christ the talent on display, Forrest Whitaker alone can do more acting with a single expression than the entire cast of most other films between them (I swear sometimes with Whitaker it's like looking into the eyes of a conflicted god).

Harrelson is off-the-scale effective as the baddy (not in a chewing the scenery sort of way, but so genuinely sinister I was happy to pause the film and go for a piss at one point).

Affleck and Bale are excellent too, in fact, everyone's excellent, just the little bit-part of 'meth man' is wonderfully done.

Very much a genre film but done in a different way and with a different focus, no glory or happiness at the end, even though it ended up where it was 'supposed to' by the terms of the genre.

TBH I think there's enough here to make a decent season of a TV series, there's so much going on the film could have easily been three hours long and still been captivating, but then again to get so much into a two hour film is a remarkable achievement.

Very downbeat and depressing, which is where I want films to take me to sometimes.

I concur, 8/10.

Watched 'A New Hope' yesterday. Surprisingly good. Obviously cheesy as all hell, but better than I remembered.

Watching X-Men right now. Again, quite entertaining.

During a mystique infiltration:

Wolverine: "It's me!"

Cyclops: "Prove it."

*pause*

Wolverine: "You're a dick."

*pause*

Cyclops: "Okay."
