- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.
- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

Just saw it for the second time, so I guess I'm part of the reason it's doing well in New Zealand :). The reason it was NZ's largest opening was probably because it opened on a public holiday (Anzac Day) on Wednesday.Yeah, it's pretty great. I don't know if it's Great, for example I think Nolan's stuff has been better, but its easily better than any film I've seen so ...

Yeah, just here to say John Carter is actually pretty decent, but even the opening night crowd was super sparse, I don't think this will do well - there doesn't seem to be any buzz for it, and I don't think word-of-mouth will do well given how weird it is to describe this movie: @GalacticPunt's description is the best I've seen so far and I wouldn't see it based on ...

Ugh, yet another terrible video game movie. It's like it has nothing to do with original at all! What's the deal with that, Hollywood?

Holy shit this movie is old... I saw the trailers for this like... 4 years ago?It's really weird to see such specific NZ stuff out of context.

So, The Lion King And The Dark Knight Rises Are Kinda The Same Movie.
"When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die", but viewing the real trailer I didn't understand a thing.

Man, Jack of Fables is gonna be pissed when he sees who they cast as him. And isn't this supposed to be his third movie?

Sony Attempts To Put One Last Nail In 3D's Coffin With Plan To Charge For Glasses
.
New Zealand here: Lion King is NZ$11.50 2D, and $14.50 3D, less $1 if you kept the glasses (Multply by 0.8 +- 0.1 for US$ depending on what day of the week it is....) So yeah - not really a new thing at all. But since 3D is still terrible, I couldn't care less what they do to 3D prices.

Basil Poledouris was legendary. His Conan the Barbarian soundtrack in particular is astounding. Also, I love Paul Verhoven. So RoboCop is pretty awesome.

Not that I mind Pony (far from it!), but it's starting to look like it's following me around now. I hear Lauren Faust's been put onto another old Hasbro property (though I can't remember what), so I wonder if that will get any brony love - but I haven't seen any PPG or Foster's interest recently. Oh and I guess Gundam is cool too, or something.

I don't really like Saving Private Ryan one way or another, but I appreciate the huge influence it's been on films*."ask someone what their favorite moment is in Shakespeare in Love and they’ll be hard pressed to come up with an answer" - The scene where Elizabeth stops at a puddle on the street, then stares at the noble that has been bugging her for the whole scene. He suddenly ...

Fighting the Nazis with Laughter: Making Fun of Nazis on Film
on the General Discussion board.
@PenguinDust: Even better than the remake? Man, now I have to see the original.I think the real problem I have with the viewpoint that Nazi's must always be treated as vile, inhuman monsters is that they mostly weren't. People are very easily swayed by appeals to the danger of the other, shortly after 9/11 I saw several Americans straight-facedly tell me the only right thing to do was to bomb ...

People can be dicks on their birthday, so if you're surrounded by dicks, maybe it's everyone's birthday! (Or just yours).
