"Within the Rock" (1996)

3883.jpg

Yet another low budget "Alien" wanna-be. In the near future, a team of outer-space miners are sent on a drilling mission to an asteroid and accidentally unleash an ancient carnivorous something-or-other. Predictably cheap mayhem follows. Entertaingly cheesy junk.

 

"King Kong" (1976)

251422.jpg

Dino De Laurentiis' lavish energy-crisis era update of the '30s classic sends a team of oil company geologists (led by Charles Grodin, who's at the top of his scenery chewing game) on an exploratory mission to a deserted South Seas isle. When they find a giant ape instead of a massive oil deposit, they attempt to bring him back to New York as a publicity stunt. I'm sure we all know how well THAT works out for everybody.

This sentimental childhood fave has a suitably epic feel and great performances but the special effects (which were pretty hot shit for 1976) haven't aged well AT ALL.

Useless trivia note: this "Kong" was the film debut of future Oscar winner Jessica Lange, who was fiiiiiiiine back in the day.

Lethal Weapon 4 ... I'm guessing that Son No.2 will now start on the Die Hard series :)

Make sure he only watches the first 4.

 

A Good Day To Die Hard

 

Complete and utter shite. Appallingly bad way to end this excellent franchise

I love this one, warm and funny, not vulgar and focus on the friendship. Brilliant acting and Kevin Kline steals the show. Recommended !

 

I definitely want to see this.

Watched three over the weekend:

 

"Sherlock Holmes" (2009)

235936.jpg

Guy Ritchie reimagines the famed sleuth as a 19th century action hero played by Robert Downey Jr. in this overlong, muddled mystery that's packed with way too much distracting CGI. Jude Law is great as Holmes' long-suffering companion, Dr. Watson and there are few fun action bits but overall this was a disappointment. It mightve been better if the lead roles were reversed and Law played Holmes while Downey played Watson.

 

"The Taking of Pelham 123" (2009)

228218.jpg

Hijackers take a New York City subway train hostage and while the city scrambles to come up with the $10 million ransom, the gang's leader (John Travolta) plays a series of head games with a Transit Authority dispatcher (Denzel Washington) over the radio. This remake of a '70s flick descends into typical action-movie nonsense in its last quarter but up till then it's a decent suspense thriller with nice performances by John and Denzel.

 

"A Talking Cat?" (2013)

296375.jpg

Absolutely craptastic no-budget kid stuff about a sassy feline (whose voice is provided by a drunk-sounding Eric "Julia's Brother" Roberts, of all creatures) that helps bring two troubled families together with its mystical powers. Yes, really. This awkwardly scripted, poorly acted, unfunny "comedy" needed more of the cat and less of the humans.

Fun fact: this movie's puzzling, soft-porn production values were explained by a visit to IMDb, where I learned that this flick's director usually makes gay porn, and he does these cheap talking-animal kid flicks (under a variety of pseudonyms) as a sidebar. That explains the scene where the two teenage boys seemed like they were in an awful hurry to get shirtless and hop in the pool together.

If your kids find this on Netflix and say "Oh cool, a cat movie, can we watch it?", for the love of Gawd, grab the remote out of their hand and stop them!!

It's only mid February and I already have a "worst movie I've seen all year" contender!!

Not as great as I thought, but quite thrilling in some parts. Pace a little bit slow and might be boring for those non sci-fi fans. Cinematography is totally beautiful. I prefer Apollo 13 for space-theme movie to this

Only worth seeing in 3d. This film is nothing without 3d

Decent action flick featuring Jason Statham. Turn off your mind and watch him kick some ass,

 

No such thing ... I'd rather watch paint dry than anything involving Statham ...

At the cinema, in 3D you actually feel like you are in space......totally awesome.

 

But yeah not a film for the TV ;-)

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
