Falling Skies get renewed for season 4 ! Yeah !

And today, July 3rd, it's Tom Cruise birthday !

 

And I thought I'd seen a lot of films this year. 0/10 for Oz!? I thought it was pretty good, and the visuals were just as good as Oblivion.

Happy Birthday to Tom Cruise! He's one of my favourite actors

 

Has anyone seen White House Down and Olympus has Fallen ? In your opinion, what one is better?

So weird that two very alike movies are coming out months apart.

 

I don't really want to see White House Down, because it looks exactly the same as Olympus Has Fallen, which was an awesome film, and it'd just feel like they've copied it. But I might check it out if there's nothing else on at the time.

 

White House Down is not in my interests so I probably won't see it. But Olympus has Fallen, I will rent it as I didn't get the chance to see it.

I usually don't put a 0/10 to a movie but this one, I hated it, it's not only Mila Kunis that I didn't like, it's the whole movie. I thought the story was flat like the characters. For me the visuals I found them kind of fake kind of unfinished. The other 0/10 I gave to a movie was Little White Lies with Marion Cotillard.




For the ones who love Indie movies and Kevin Spacey movies, I recommand BEYOND THE SEA , written, directed, produced by Kevin Spacey and with Kevin Spacey and Kevin sings the songs ! I discovered this movie two or three months ago and I thought it was a wonderful movie, a great musical with an amazing performance from Kevin Spacey playing Bobby Darin.

 

Do NOT see Only God Forgives, guys; it was absolutely dreadful and unnecessarily violent.

 

I laughed once at a joke, and once at how brutally unnecessary the extreme violence was. Also everyone left the cinema bemused.

 

I love every Tom Cruise movies, he's my favorite actor. My favorite of his performance is definitely in Rock Of Ages, such a great voice.

I quite liked the original Wizard of Oz, I thought it was entertaining, a good musical but far from being my favorite musical movie.

 

I'm not very much into Tom Cruise movies, but I have a soft spot for Ben Stiller movies, so ... yes. I thought Cruise as Les Grossman was pretty good .

 

My favourite Tom Cruise films are the Mission Impossible series, he was awesome in those. Actually, Ghost Protocol is one of my all time favourite films. He was also pretty good in Oblivion.

I still haven't seen Jack Reacher, which I really wanted to see. I would think that he'd have a similar role to Mission Impossible in that.

On the subject of films that I never saw at the movies, I still really wanna watch The Bourne Legacy, A Good Day to Die Hard and Jack the Giant Slayer as well, which all looked good.

 

I've seen Jack Reacher in theaters and I have it on blu-ray, a great movie.

On the subject of films that I never saw at the movies, I still really wanna watch Man Of Steel and Despicable Me 2.

 

I wanna watch Man of Steel as well, I've never really been a Superman fan, but it looks pretty good. I also wanna watch Pacific Rim, The Wolverine, The Lone Ranger and Now You See Me.

 

I whanna see Lone Ranger and kinda whanna see Pacific Rim since I like me some mecha but probably not in theaters.

 

The films I'm looking forward to in some form or another:

This is the End
The Bling Ring
Despicable Me 2
Monsters University
Fruitvale Station
Pacific Rim
The Wolverine
Elysium
The Butler
Don Jon
Kill Your Darlings
Gravity
The Fifth Estate
12 Years a Slave
The Counselor
Ender's Game
Thor: The Dark World
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Jack Ryan

 

Just found this video. A little outdated, but still bloody awesome:

Of that list I am looking most forward to Ender's Game and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Big fan of Peter Jackson's films, and I want to see Harrison Ford on the big screen again!

Oh, and happy Fourth of July to everyone Americans here!

 

I had heard about that, but never seen it in action. Cool! Although I gotta wonder -- each level would have to be its own apartment, right? Because otherwise if you can control the rotation of your own apartment, surely that would seriously PO your next-door neighbor living on the same level. ("Dammit! That Skywalker family is always messing with the controls so that their apartment faces the east in the morning and west in the evening! We'll never see the sun living here!")

 

Stupid me, that's totally logical. My only excuse is reading something about that tornados can tear the street's pavement off the ground. (Though, on second thought, this only applies to F5 tornados, IIRC.)

And I'm sure the lightnings know you don't like them...

"The Hobbit" is the only movie I'll see in cinema this year. Why isn't it December already, whyyy?!! But honestly I think the dragon looks kinda... not epic.

 

Impressive tornado and very scary.

 

I totally see myself first filming the tornado and then remembering to run. Luckily there aren't nearly as much tornados in Germany as in Tornado Alley and the only thing ever appearing here at my home was a small dust devil (that I missed).
