Couples Retreat

 

A comedy with 1 or 2 laughs (at the most) but harmless and quite watchable. Has Kristen Bell in, so it would have needed to be one of the worst films ever for me to turn it off. :quagmire:

here comes the boom - found it watchable so not a total waste of time

 

 

Jack Reacher - liked this quite a bit but not one that I think I would rewatch very often

 

Lawless - liked this one too but again not sure It would have very many rewatches from me

"Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBcIAuGqOJ0

 

Third (and so far, last) installment in Mike Myers' shagadelic spy spoof series sends Austin time traveling back to 1975, where he teams up with bad-ass superchick agent Foxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles) to foil Dr. Evil's latest scheme and rescue Austin's kidnapped Dad (Michael Caine).

Not as good as the previous two "Austin" films but there is still plenty of immature smirky fun to be had. My fave bit involves a movie being made of Powers' life, with cameos by Tom Cruise as Austin, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, and Gwyneth Paltrow as agent "Dixie Normous." :rofl2:

I don't find the Austin Powers films very funny at all. There are some amusing moments, but for me they feel like films that should be a lot funnier than they are. Great idea, but they should have got some better script writers in to make the films funnier. They just end up feeling like vehicles for Mike Myers to say, "look at me everyone". I felt exactly the same about 'Nacho Libre' - should be funny, but it's just Jack Black showing off with no laughs.

 

Just saying. :whistle:

Yeah, "Shagged" is my fave Austin flick too... mainly due to Heather Graham... yowza :masturbanana:

(Shrug) Diff'rent strokes, I guess. I didn't like "Nacho Libre" either, but the "Austin" flicks hit the right note with me. I love the old Bond films w/Connery and the cheesy '60s 'spy craze' films that followed in their wake ("Matt Helm," "In Like Flint," etc.)... the "Austin" series does a very nice job of parodying all of them, and wacky pop-art '60s cinema in general.

 

Plus, there's pretty girls and fart jokes. What's not to like? ;)

"Tower Heist" (2011)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-u3MXkGf5s

 

This caper comedy is kinda like an "Ocean's 11" for the Recession Era, with Ben Stiller as the head of a gang of ritzy NYC high-rise employees who plan to steal $20 million from the penthouse of a Bernie Madoff-style swindler. Eddie Murphy is a hoot as the street thug they hire to guide them through the process of becoming criminals. Fun stuff.

Evil Dead (Remake)=Why the fuck did a) I watch this and B) did someone OK this to be done. 1 point for having Sam Raimi's Oldsmobile in the opening sequence,, but -1 million points for doing this film. YUCK!

The Expendables

Enjoyed this. It had all the ingredients of a great action film: ridiculous acting, ridiculous plot, ridiculous stunts. Great to see so many major action film stars in one place, although Arnie and Bruce Willis have cameos, so being billed as stars is a bit of a rip-off. Stallone and Lundgren really looking their age, but still good value.

 

The Losers

Another good action film. Really liked the characters, despite them being a tad clichéd. Fantastic action sequences, funny at the right times; a really enjoyable film. Can’t remember seeing a better actioner for some time.

The Last Stand. Highly implausible but still entertaining action flick. Nice to see Arnie back in the game.

I agree! liked it

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
