Mad Max 4: Fury Road

feeds@yuku.com (AirPrang) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:40:28 GMT

All over the news this morning is talk of a fourth Mad max movie, Fury Road. Will Mel be back is the big question, remembering he was such a young 'un way back when Mad Max started. Sam Worthington's already being touted as a possibility - and if that happened it might be the first Mad Max film I've ever seen!

Will Mel be back? Will Srev be asked to reprise his role too?

Accident (Yi Ngoi)

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:48:23 GMT

This is a cute little thriller from Hong Kong, but while it's diverting I'd rate it as a video/DVD film.

A car diverts down a side street, and as the driver gets out to move a canvas sign that drops onto his windscreen, he dislodges a large pane of glass which falls onto him from a great height and kills him. Accident? Well, it looks like it - but in fact it's a carefully managed professional assassination of a triad boss. A disparate team of four people, led by...

Went to see this today and it was soooooooo cute. The animation is amazing, and never ceases to amaze me how crisp and realistic it gets, if you know what I mean.. I only wish I had known it was available in 3D too, as that would have been even better.

Its a fabulous little story, and sooo heart warming and funny.

Checkout the trailer, its really sweet:

The Twilight Saga - New Moon

feeds@yuku.com (Dal) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:40:04 GMT

Not gonna lie the trailer looks good, and I liked New Moon a lot better than Twilight, mostly cause Edward wasn't in it, and Bella was an obsessive psycho c.nt as much.

The Road

feeds@yuku.com (AirPrang) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:56:20 GMT

This is the film of the grim, post-Apocalyptic novel by Comrac McCarthy brought to us by the creative team who brought us the equally grim Australian 'western' The Proposition. The Road is the story of an unnamed man (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) travelling south through a grim and ravaged US, to hopefully warmer climes. The sky is permanently grey, all plants and animals are dead, bands of men are hunting human stragglers for food. It's the end of the world,...

Inglorious Basterds

feeds@yuku.com (jgabler) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:25:27 GMT

I saw this on Thursday night, and quite enjoyed it.� It's a little on the long side, (just over 2.5 hours) but I was never bored.

The guy who steals the show is the one playing the Nazi 'Jew Hunter'.� Great acting, and I read Tarantino wasn't going to make the film...

Death At A Funeral - US remake

feeds@yuku.com (Kolosomo) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:34:58 GMT

No, this is not about the British film. This is about the remake of the British film, coming out next year. It's essentially the same plot except American and will feature black comedians. The screenplay is being co-written by Chris Rock. Most essential remake ever? I think so.

Oddly enough, Peter Dinklage is reprising his role from the original. I'm just at a...

District 9

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:50:20 GMT

This is a movie I am a bit interested in.

Basically, aliens have been sent to earth as sort of refugees, and live in a refugee camp in South Africa (District 9) that is a bit of a ghetto. They do have some amazing weapons with them that the humans want to get their hands on but the weapons don't work in the hands of humans. On a trip into District 9, one human gets infected with an alien virus and becomes very valuable to those people who want to use the weapons.

feeds@yuku.com (JoelsBigOne) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:53:40 GMT

So excited that Titanic is being made into a 3D movie with a release date looking to be somewhere in 2011. Just to see the regular movie at the cinema again I would love again. Such a good movie.

My Sisters Keeper

feeds@yuku.com (starrychris) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:25:34 GMT

Pretty interesting movie starring Cameron Diaz about a girl dying with cancer. Her parents genetically engineer having another child so they can use it's perfect cells, blood, bone marrow etc to heal the sick child. Goes through a lot of moral issues, and a big focues on how each family member is affected by a family member dying of cancer.

What do others think of this one?

Overall it was pertty good. Although some of the characters such as the brother and the...

World of Warcraft

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:19:41 GMT

Well, this will make legions of geeks jizz in their pants - ultra-geek-chic online game World of Warcraft is to be turned into a movie by ultra-geek-chic director Sam Raimi.

Balibo

feeds@yuku.com (AirPrang) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:30:57 GMT

There's been a bit of buzz around about this film, but a very positive buzz - unlike Kokoda, for example. It's directed by Robert Connolly whose previous films The Bank and Three Dollars did absolutely nothing for me, but that wouldn't stop me seeing Balibo for one simple reason: Anthony La Paglia. It'll be marvellous to see him on the big screen again, and in a big role too: he plays Roger East, the freelance journo who was murdered by Indonesian forces in East Timor. Apart...

The Last Airbender

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:41:02 GMT

Teaser has the look but strains credulity a bit.� Unfortunately the opening words of the teaser do not bode well.

Jennifer's Body

feeds@yuku.com (Kolosomo) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:20:50 GMT

The film follows Jennifer (Megan Fox), a mean-girl cheerleader possessed by a demon who begins feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. It is then up to her "plain Jane" best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to kill Jennifer, escape from a correctional facility and go after lead singer Nikolai (Adam Brody) and his Satan-worshiping rock band responsible for the transformation.

It's Diablo Cody's follow-up to Juno.

Interesting list. Youtubes are featured.

I haven't watched them all yet but I'm happy to see Where The Wild Things Are there as that's one of my favourites. The Alien one is a good choice for #1 too.

The International

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:06:41 GMT

This is a decent thriller from director Tom Tykwer that shows that you can still make a decent and effective film these days with style rather than mega-explosions, CGI and wobbly cameras.

Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) is investigating the conduct of a large bank. However, just when he seems about to get some information on some possible shady dealings, his inside source dies - along with his partner, who suffers a mysterious heart attack. Salinger suspects foul play...
