Better than I thought it would be, a little slow to get started but once it did, was fantastic.

Teens and young males don't buy cable subscriptions and pay extra for HBO.

There's barely any in it anymore. They toned it down a lot from the first couple of seasons.

Great movie but i think my next film has gotta be something just a tad lighter.
7/10

That's how you get the hooks in.
Also, from my understanding of people who do watch it, quality has declined a bit in recent seasons too.

Predictable post from someone who thinks they’re smarter than everyone.
LoTR movies are perfect.

They weren't bad movies, the visual effects etc were great and so forth, but on the whole there was a forced feeling to me. Middle-earth and the people in it never felt like something that could be real in an alternate reality (like Westeros in Game of Thrones does). This is a series that picked up Best Picture at the Oscars. Who is Frodo? He loves his friends and wants to save the world by destroying the ring. Fair goals in his reality. But who is he outside that? Can Frodo even be described without saying what his role is in the movie or what he looks like? No. Maybe that's completely fine in a book but it was not a book. They were movies and he wasn't the only character like this. Aragorn was an exception and the best character in it. Frodo and Samwise get a 30-minute epilogue. Why?
Movies don't have to have levity (some great movies are incredibly depressing) but The Lord of The Rings played it completely straight yet in a way that a 12-year-old could watch it and not be confused.

Isn’t that part of the theme though?
A small, irrelevant little guy, with no right to be involved in any of this, ends up being the one to save the world.

50 First Kisses - 7.5/10
Japanese remake of 50 First Dates. Thought it was well done whilst having a combination of old humorous scenes and it's own which I greatly enjoyed.

I saw Damian Callinan's one-man show of this Thursday night at the Fringe. Really enjoyed it.
Yes, get onto it
The Fifth Element (1997): One of those films i've seen bits and pieces of but never sat down to watch the whole thing. Just a zany fun watch.
Bruce Willis been given some great roles and films. When Gary Oldman won the academy for playing Churchill recently this is what they were paying him back for lol 8/10

Prospect
Low budget sci-fi that's not really a sci-fi as much as a western.
I did like the look of the movie though and it's well worth the watch. 6/10
EDIT: Jesus people. Catch up. 12 Monkeys? Fifth Element?.....Wake up
