Gonna see Gravity tonight.

Last night I saw a movie called Pathfinder on Foxtel On Demand.  It is about a Viking boy who is disowned and abandoned by his father during a raiding party on American Indian soil prior to Columbus.  The young boy is adopted by the chief of a tribe and his wife, while he is raised in the Indian ways.  However, another Viking raiding party wipes out most of his village and he has to choose between his heritage or the people who raised him. 

It is more violent than I would have liked, but I think it was necessary to effectively tell the story.  This movie is well worth watching and I'd give it an 8 or 9 out of 10 for storyline and plot.

Saw Pathfinder awhile back. I expected it to be violent considering the times.

The violence, while quite graphic at times, was not overdone done to gratuitous excess like in some action movies.  Like you said, "considering the times" and the fact that survival often meant that your violence had to overwhelm the opponent's/enemies own violence.  Still, it was a movie I enjoyed and could watch again a bit further down the track.

Earlier I watched Luc Besson's fururistic Lockout with Guy Pearce in the lead role of a morally corrupt agent who is sent to rescue the US president's daughter from a penal colony on a space station.  This one I'd give a 7 out of 10 for storyline and plot.  Again there is alot of violence, but that should be expected given it is set in a prison for societies worst criminals.

Saw that one too. I liked it.

Last night I watched Chaos with Jason Statham of The Transporter trilogy fame.  In this movie Statham plays the part of a disgraced [yet blameless] cop who is suspended for the shooting death of a hostage after a bank robbery.  The architect of another bank robbery demands that if he must deal with police, the disgraced cop must be the lead police negotiator or he will start shooting hostages. 

A chaotic chain of events ensues as the bank robbers escape and always manage to stay one step ahead of the investigative team pursuing them. I'd give this movie a 7 out of ten also

Saw Homefront this weekend.  It was a good action movie, well worth the rental.

Catching fire.. decent series so far..

Heaven Is For Real. It was awesome! 

Haven't watched anything recently - like in the last few days - but after the rugby league Friday night I'm going to watch 'Jack The Giant Slayer' on Foxtel on-demand.  I like that, legally downloading and being able to select a movie or TV show to watch it any time I like as often ass I like... no waiting for scheduled programming and all that.  'Tis bloomin' marvellous... this Foxtel.

After that I might watch 'Snow White And The Huntsman'.  I'm in a bit of a fantasy without porn mood, so why not!

The cap'n at his finest. You go dude.

lol

? 

Bought 'The Thing' (original version) on DVD a few weeks ago. Great film

I saw the original 'Fly' a few weeks ago, with David Hedison... who was also Captain Crane on 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'

I read yesterday that his daughter, Alexandra Hedison, married Jodi Foster... the original Clarice Starling in 'Silence of the Lambs'  What a shame she didn't continue in the role for Hannibal, in which Julianne Moore was her replacement.  Of the two, I prefer Jodi Foster in the role, she was more convincing, I thought.  Another Movie of Foster's I'd like to see again is Nell, which she also produced, with Liam Neeson.  For mine, that was her absolute best role... in a totally brilliant movie.... with Contact running a very close second.
