We saw JOHN CARTER. It's not very good, and kind of long and boring in spots, but I was fairly entertained and liked the end. I don't understand why it bombed so badly. Far worse films have made far more money (pick a TRANSFORMERS film) -

Cowboys and Aliens is a decent enough way to spend two hours, it's not a classic and it doesn't aspire to be.
At least the actors seem to have fun with their roles. I've seen far worse shit than this.
Harrison Ford is absolutely AWFUL in this movie!

He looked bored in both but I'll take a lack luster Indy over what he did in Cowboys and Aliens.

He looked tired in Indy but c'mon, he is no spring chicken anymore, maybe we should cut his performance some slack?On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I really had no issue with Ford in Crystal Skull. He just seemed miscast (or bored) in Cowboys and Aliens.

Ok... but I'm not taking about the script or the film. We are talking about Harrison Ford's performance. Even though the script was utter shit Ford LOVES Indy and it shows in the fourth film.

Some top actors already have, Gene Hackman, Jack Nicholson and Sean Connery all instantly come to mind.

We saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol last night.
Good lord, what a rush! That was entertaining and exciting!
Also, I discovered it was part IV... that means I haven't seen III first. We probably missed some links to the third movie, but oh well...
And in the afternoon I watched Willow with the kids. They simply had to see it and I wanted to see it again. It was my favourite movie as a kid. Funny to see how you remember some things completely different and you see it differently as a adult too. -

MI: Ghost Protocol is a good film, but the third one is even better: an action-packed thrill ride with great performances. And you will understand the ending of the fourth film better if you watch the third.
Willow is great childhood fun for me as well... And it features one of Horner's best scores ever. Also holding some great old-school visual effects like that two headed monster.

Wow, simply wow. I knew I was gonna like this (the trailer was enough to got me hooked on the subject matter), but I'm amazed by the sheer brilliant character development this movie delivers. For me it was like watching Jerry Maguire meets a Clint Eastwood movie (meaning the love to let characters speak for a long time, thereby enhancing true emotional character development). Honestly, for a sports movie that deals so much about numbers and pure facts, and so little about sport, I found this to be an emotional resonating experience. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill's chemistry on screen is some of the finest I've seen in a long time (considering I didn't expect it to work together at all). Stunning blu-ray transfer video wise too.
Anyway, bro, expect to see this one next week

Yeah no sweat dude, okay?
I watched THE EASTWOOD FACTOR, a brilliant documentary about Clint Eastwood's career at Warner Bros. for 35 years, how he started out in westerns, how he got from acting to directing, and the shift in tone for later films, all told in his own down-to-earth fashion, or otherwise narrated by his frequent collaborator Morgan Freeman. Great and interesting stuff if you like seeing the gravely voiced man in his most memorable roles, this comes as a bonus on the blu-ray of Hereafter, and what a nice surprise this is.
After watching this, I really want to see some of his films again (A Perfect World, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven, Dirty Harry looks like good fun too). Can't believe I missed out on Invictus, it looks very inspirational.
It's amazing Clint is still so active at his age."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I love Clint Eastwood. The Dirty Harry series of films are good fun, the first one in particular with it's nasty villain 'Scorpio' is very memorable, possibly one of the most memorable and heartbreakingly cruel villains ever, a truly nasty guy and I don't mean in a 'boo' 'hiss' Darth Vader / Die Hard / James Bond way.
I'd also recommend THUNDERBOLT & LIGHFOOT co-starring a young Jeff Bridges and one of Eastwood's near forgotten masterpieces THE BEGUILED.

That quote from Dirty Harry remains legendary! Haha! I had a smile on my face, he brought it with such gritty 'don't fuck with me' attitude. His character in Gran Torino also has this quality. Made me laugh out loud a couple of times, I mean the dude is scary on the outside, but on the inside he's a teddy-bear.
