After watching sound of music 50 times as a kid (one tv so my sis got to choose the movies sometimes) im done with musicals for life. Especially after getting sucked into La La Land.
Never seen Sound of Music. The only musicals I like are Blues Brothers, Chicago and La La. And I guess Grease, just.

Adventureland

I really loved this movie. Takes me to my childhood visiting the carnival at Rye beach during the christmas-new year period.

It’s got a kick ass 80s rock soundtrack, including a couple of Aussie classics by INXS, crowded house.

Really strong cast with Jessie Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Bill Hader.

.
Love Adventureland.

I want a giant ass panda!

Ah shit I forgot I have seen Grease 50 times as well haha.
Yeah I'll admit to seeing Grease quite a few times, as well as my school's live production of it. :$
(Heres a not so fun fact- I think ONJ and Travolta own the rights to the song "you're the one that i want", so therefore my school was not allowed to perform it. Had some crappy shit song no ones ever heard of instead)


Hey was looking thru the BB 2014 thread the other day. I miss you guys.

BB14 good times! Are the podcasts still up? I should go listen to them again one day.

Also lol at not being able to use "your the one that I want" in a school play as if anyone would know.

Well that's the rules apparently- and they are selling tickets/performing it off the school grounds idk. The school still had to purchase rights/permission to use the show, and that song doesnt come with it.

Lol yes the podcasts are still up. I think theres a thread with them started by ODN too.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) - Surprisingly conventional horror/thriller from Yorgos Lanthimos. I still liked this and it was darker and more uncompromising than the average horror movie but I was slightly underwhelmed overall. Certainly a well made movie with great acting & score. Also quite gruesome at parts which caught me slightly off guard. There was some trademark jet black humour present but I was hoping for more. Also the pacing was quite slow throughout. Certainly not a bad movie but I was hoping for more, this movie could've been made by a number of director's whilst his previous work was thoroughly original. 7/10
I was about to write exactly the same thing. Good movie but just fell short, I don’t think it help having such big expectations after The Lobster either.

PECKING ORDER (2017)

A doco about the 148 year old Christchurch chicken bantam and pigeon club and the politics that go on in the lead up to big national titles. It's a like a real life version of 'best in show' and is funny as ****. 8/10

A few that I have watched lately.

O'Brother, Where Art Thou

I'll start off by saying I'm a big Coen Brothers fan and how much it pains me to say this but was very disappointed. Hail Caesar par disappointed.

Look it's not a bad film but it just didn't really do anything for me. Story wasn't engaging, the dark humor wasn't there for a Coen movie and the characters I couldn't invest in. At the end I was like "Is that it?".

5/10

Die Hard

Watched this on Christmas Day for the first time, can't believe it's taken me this long to watch.

Not a masterpiece but just a ******* awesome and fun action flick. Alan Rickman plays a fantastic antagonist and Bruce Willis is just a badass in it. Was abit slow in the middle there but the ending made up for it, edge of your seat stuff.

8/10

The Unforgiven

Haven't watched many Western movies in my life. Shanghai Noon and Django Unchained are probably the only ones now that I think about, so wasn't going in with high expectations despite what I reviews I had read beforehand.

Really really good film. Great story, great characters, great pacing. You see alot of films where people like cops, criminals, outlaws etc murder people and move on like nothing happened but here you see the affects of people's actions which I really liked.

Shoutout to Gene Hackman who was amazing in this, great performance.

8.5/10

The Unforgiven is a great film. It has been a while since I saw it but was filmed in an era where Westerns were considered tired.

I think you're right, the quality of the acting was fabulous and turned a good film into a great one.

Good Times

Not at a bad movie about a guy robbing a bank to help his ******ed brother. Weird shenaghins ensue. It didn't really go how I expected which was good.

Yeah never got into Brother either haven't tried for years though

Die Hard is a masterpiece. Also they took a fair bit of license from the book.

If you liked the unforgiven and Gene oh boy there is a whole back catalogue of great Clint Westerns and Gene movies.

Go watch them, he'll go watch every movie both guys made prior to 1990

Clint made a career out of Westerns but he's done other great movies, Gene can play hero or vilian with equal aplomb

If it's imax 3d, you need the glasses, if it's not then you don't need them. imax is just a big screen with a better projector
I went to buy the ticket online and the glasses were optional which made me think I don't need them, but just above the session times the legend says IMAX and 3D, whether as some of them just say IMAX (night sessions, not going to them) but those ones don't even give you the option of buying the glasses.
