Just finished watching the movie Hitman. I missed the first ~15 minutes :-(, but hey… I just woke up lol. Quite interesting, and the ending…. bloody brilliant! I’ve never gotten a chance to play any of the games, but have always been interested in the series – stealth over shoot’em up.
A copy of Hitman Trilogy would be sweet, lol.
Just finished watching a movie called The Bucket List, about to dying men (Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman) who set out to complete a list of the things they want to do, before they “kick the bucket” in six months.
Hmm, I remember composing such a list myself, about 10 or 12 years ago :-/
Ahh, a good movie that I haven’t seen in ages: Jurassic Park!
There’s just something special about JP, different then most films. IMHO I think the book was much more through, and the sequels more action packed but the original Jurassic Park has just got that air, that feel about it. I’ve always been fascinated by dinosaurs, all of my life, but knowing the amount of college involved with paleontology I never made it a high-point in my education.
Hmm, for some reason that brings back memories of my birthdays. When I was a little kid, every birthday party was ruled by dinosaurs: or as my aunt Janet probably put it, if I’ve got to wear this stupid (dino) hat again next year, I’m going to kill this kid looooool. When Jurassic Park came out back in the early 90s, it got even worse xD. Heh, even when I first hit the World Wide Web, my first web searches were paleological in nature lol.
What can I say, I like the study of history and technology in many forms…. <-- geek.
Just saw a hilarious movie, Fools Gold. It starts with these two hopeless idiots diving… the manage to sink their own boat, without even knowning it xD. Fin and his Ukrainian sidekick Alfonz manage to survive, only for Fin to be late to his own devorce. Throw in a rich guy with yacht, a daughter who redefines the words “Air head” and “Bimbo”, and things just snow ball from there in search of treasure!
Oh man, it brings backs some memories, I really miss Florida about now…
Something wrong? Why would anything be wrong? We just had sex in a church – and we’re not even married – and now we’re gonna dig up a grave! I mean, what is that, like a triple sin? I’m surprised we haven’t been struck by lightning.

How crazy can you get? >_>
Caught Grumpy Old Men on TV, and laughed my ass off solidly ^_^. Most Rest and Relaxiation I’ve had in ages…. Also saw a film I’ve never seen before, The Prisoner of Second Aveune with Jack Lemmon and Anne Bancroft. Now that was a good movie!!! He gets fired and has a wonderful nervous breakdown, they get robbed, everything goes to heck, and he eventually learns the hardway that you can’t stand out on the terrace cussing a blue streak at the neighbores ^_^. She’s forced to take a job, and put up with his breakdown; until she finally edges on a nervous breakdown lol. The ending though is wonderful, when he realizes that the mugger he chased down and recovered his wallet from, wasn’t a mugger at all… the quarrals with the couple one floor up, and the ending — it is just priceless xD (and I’m not gonna spoil it :-P).
And The China Syndrome is starting 🙂
Managed to catch the Last Action Hero, haven’t seen it in awhile so I could enjoy it; the poking fun at action movies <_<. Also got to see the end of Bringing Up Baby. Kathine Hepburns charactor is the epitome of a zany girl, and the movie is like screw ball comedy of the first class :-). The Philadelphia Story also starts at 2, so there is something to watch hehe.
Caught an interesting action movie on, Hard Target. I’m not a fan of Jean Claude van Damme, but I was well impressed. Throughout the entire action flick, I couldn’t help but wonder who made this movie… the planning and use of the camera was awesome; in a way, that I have not seen for years lol.
I also had the train of thought, some where along the lines that if John Woo didn’t have some influence on this, I’d eat my hat! Sure enough, Directed by John Woo, and executive produced by Sam Raimi, which really explains a lot. The shots in the movie alone make it worth watching, the ingenuity during fight, fusion of gun play and close quarters, go well beyond what you see in many of the more recent action movies. Not quite the invincible hero syndrome of the 80’s, or the regular 90’s flair but without a doubt, superb! Hard Targets a must see for any action movie goer lol.
Also good to see a techniques using a pistol in each hand, combined with Van Damme’s foot work; which can only be outshone by the bayou lovin’, moon shine drinkin’ uncle lol.
Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot! I said across her nose, not up it!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir! I’m doing my best!
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
Major Asshole: I did sir. He’s my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he?
Colonel Sandurz: He’s an asshole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that! What’s his name?
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir. Asshole, Major Asshole!
Dark Helmet: And his cousin?
Colonel Sandurz: He’s an asshole too sir. Gunner’s mate First Class Philip Asshole!
Dark Helmet: How many asholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I’m surrounded by assholes!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!
For some reason, they’ve been playing Spaceballs a lot lately, refreshing really – they usually don’t put it on cable that much.
Russian Cosmonaut: It’s stuck, yes?
American Astronaut: Back off! You don’t know the components!
[Russian guy pushes American gal out of the way; who looks ready to belt him one]
Russian Cosmonaut: Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
[He beats the crap out of the machinery with a wrench until it works]
Ain’t it just the truth? Does it really matter which country uses it, it’s all more or less from the same place, and none of it works properly ^_^
Managed to catch the start of The Hallelujah Trail (all I can say about that farce, is have mercy on the cavalry lol); and then switched to Die Hard when I found it on :-), now The Horse Soldiers is starting; so there is something to watch while I sit in front of a computer, lol.
