I'm just waiting for the goddamn multiplex strike to get over... I seriously hope it gets over before Terminator Salvation is released. I guess we are already gonna miss Wolverine and Star Trek (which surprisingly is getting very good reviews).

btw, if they are going to make a DEADPOOL movie ,then isnt there going to wolverine again :) . Deadpool and wolverine were rivals when they were working for the canadian government in that weapon x program .....and all that early stuff.

Watched "My Girl" a couple of months ago on the recommendation of one of my friends:

My Girl: When Love was Pure and Simple

By Ada Tseng

 

Six director friends from Chulalongkorn University Film School experimentally join forces to tell a story from the heart about childhood love and unexpectedly end up breaking Thai box office records with the feel-good film, "My Girl (Fan Chan)."

 

Girls will be girls, and boys will be… well, boys. Jaeb (Chawin Chitsomboon) has just received a wedding invitation from his best childhood friend Noinah, after not hearing from her for more than 15 years. She was his one true friend, he remembers, "my first love – only I didn’t recognize it at the time." Driving back to his small Thai hometown, he reminisces about the joys of his childhood. Girls gracefully mastering their rubber string jumping skills, while boys voraciously compete in bike-racing or their rubber band flipping games. The girls would pretend to bake cupcakes while the boys pretend to be kung-fu fighters.

 

Young Jeab (Chalee Trirat) had grown up playing with the girl next door, Noinah (Focus Jeerakul). She was his best friend since they were toddlers, and the only one who would play with him, having been ignored by all the boys because he was "little." At first Jaeb enjoys playing with Noinah, but when he starts getting bullied, Jaeb soon wishes he were playing soccer and getting in trouble with the boys instead of always playing house with the girls. In order to join the gang of boys, however, he needs to prove himself worthy. Unfortunately, Jaeb’s desperate need for acceptance could lead to another thing boys are notoriously good at -- breaking girls’ hearts.

The storyline is simple, and adorably so. The girls are sweet, the boys are rambunctious. Stereotypical? Sure, but get over it, because this isn’t your deep, psychoanalytical, controversial, breaking-barriers type of movie. It’s cute, it’s light-hearted, and what producer Prasert Wiwattananonpong really hopes is that the film makes you smile and remember your first love. And it succeeds. My Girl is endearing and genuinely funny. The fact that the children in the movie are all new actors gives them a certain believability. Their performances are natural, and their interactions capture the silliness and carefree innocence that comes with being a ten-year-old kid, unconsciously making memories that last a lifetime.

 

What the overall plot lacks in surprise, the film makes up for in the original characters and amusing details. For example, Jaeb and Noinah’s fathers are rival barbers with distinct hair-cutting philosophies who refuse to acknowledge each other or each other’s customers, despite the fact that their shops are only separated by one apartment. Chalee and Focus glow on-screen, and they’re surrounded by eccentric, hysterical friends that complete the bunch. Chaleumpol Tikumpornteerawong, in particular, as Jack, is ridiculously comedic as the ring-leader bully of the mischievous boy gang that never stops eating and gets a kick out of making Jeab’s life miserable. He was recently named Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Golden Supannahong Awards, the Thai equivalent of the Oscar.

 

What makes the film more unique is the unconventional approach the filmmakers took to put the project together. The producers approached six film students, friends from Chulalongkorn University, and requested that all six of them write and direct this film together. Inevitably, there were many arguments behind the scenes, which is expected when six passionate people with distinct, strong opinions are forced to unanimously agree on one option. To make matters more difficult, they had decided to tackle a topic that is commonly considered taboo in Thailand, a film about children, certain to flop at the box office. The gamble paid off. Despite doubts, the film only took three months to shoot and 18 million baht to make.

Well, the synopsis is kinda long but LOVED the movie... Some great direction, fabulous old music and awesome acting by the little kids (much better than many mainstream bollywood actors) makes it a must see..

The only thing Uncharted and Descent have in common is the design of the crawlers. Uncharted is a mash up of pretty much every adventure movie made in the last three decades.

This is actually cooler than it should be. Trailer for The hunt for Gollum.

Its a fan made film you can watch for free. Based loosely on the LotR appendices about Aragorns search for Gollum.

Its out. Obtain it from your favourite sources.

Ryan Reynolds is a good actor but putting him in a Marvel movie always seems like a wrong move. The last time that happened, it pretty much killed the Blade series.

Really?

1. The story was crap. At a time when movies such as The Dark Knight are raising the bar of these so called superhero movies, this, IMHO, was a giant step in the backward direction.

2. The acting was horrendous.

3. Apart from Wolvie, there was virtually no character development for anyone else. Ofcourse, in a movie focused purely on Wolvie, any character getting more than 2 scenes in would be blessing his stars.

4. Scenes involving

Gambit

were totally wasted. He had virtually no role, and I still have no idea why their brawl took place at all.

5. Sabertooth didn't look vicious at all. He looked like an overgrown child who's just hit puberty. I'm not even commenting on his lady nails.

6. I'm sure the scenes with 2 of wolvies trademark lines "...the best at what I do" and "bub!" would have elicit absolutely no response from the cinema audience because they were just thrown in for the heck of it.

7.

Deadpool as Deadpool, had NO LINES AT ALL!!

Its like making Batman run around in a colourful neon pink dress singing and dancing merrily in the rain.

 

You really want me to go on?
