I thought it was excellent, though I wonder why it's described as a Western. Doesn't a Western have to be set in the American west, most of the movie was in Mississipi, which wasn't even western back then.

My favorite is set in Australia, 'The Proposition', incredible movie http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G7V-CW_SUos

Not for the faint of heart it is sometimes rediculously violent. But it can easily be compared to Apocalypse Now.

Edit, this is legal apprently, full movie http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=r...&v=21WyX3em4nA

wow it really works, whole movie is there

Django, the original movie from 1966, was a (spaghetti) western. I guess Django Unchained is as much a western as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a Civil War movie.

Well since no one took the bait on LA Zombie, it is about a gay zombie who has gay sex with his victims after he kills them. There is more sausage in this movie than a German restaurant. I made it 5 minutes and could not take it any more, then I gave to an unwitting friend an told him it was very good.

Iron Man 3 was ok. Interesting use of the deus ex machina, but I suppose it had to be done. Did not like how the final fight scene was done at all. Spoilers ahead-

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Hell, I didnt like how they explained the red glowing-thing. How are they defeated? How come in the final fight scene the suits all go and fight the glowing minions yet it seems like the glowing minions are invincible? They are impervious to bullets, can regenerate, and seem to be able to withstand explosions. If thats the case, how were they defeated? A fall shouldnt defeat them, nor should water. This was the biggest plot hole, in my opinion. They offered no explanation as to the tech behind the regeneration, nor how they can be defeated.

Furthermore, the whole helicopter attack thing was stupid. Seriously, does Jarvis not have Radar? You would think that a system so advanced would have at least some sort of early warning detection system, especially since he was basically inviting an attack. Maybe that showed how confident he was in the suits, that he didnt need more defense?

Now about Mandarin- what a joke, seriously, I was totally let down. The Mandarin in the comics was basically the Joker of the Iron Man series. Very, very lame.

Finally, the whole final plot was grand, but I seriously cannot fathom why, if Air Force One was destroyed and the president kidnapped, why on earth there arent a swarm of police and the military looking for him. In the final battle, where was the police and the military? You would think if there was a massive battle going on in what I think was Miami harbor, there would at least be cops there. And the Air Force guy was there, he could have called in some air support or something.

The whole movie felt like a joke. I liked how they started to get into his PTSD, but they never really explained it. That had so much potential but I feel it was totally wasted.

So yeah, I give it a 5/10, really just for the nice explosions.

lol I got to have it. Not sure if I am going to watch it but I love having terrible movies. How can you resist buying movies called Canibal Holocaust or Zombie Strippers

Autumn, great zombie movie. Proper zombies, one isn'tdangerous, a lot are an unstoppable force. The remake of Dawn of the Dead is a crime against human rights, fast zombies wut

Both of those movies were actually good compared to this one

Canibal holaucoust is a bit of a classic, I had never heard of it but with a name like that it's an instant purchase. Same for Naked nuns with big guns. You were right it's pretty awful hehe, but the maker knew that. Zombie Strippers is a must because Ronin's date Jenna Jameson is in it

The Fienness version... I did it injustice the first time I saw; watched it again with friends last night and it was terrific!

The Words - very interesting story, enjoyable flick. Why do all the best stories have to be chick flicks? Why can't serious actors like Stallone get good scripts like this, instead of being stuck with poo like Expendables 2?

Because people rarely watch actors like Stallone for a deep and meaningful story, they watch them for big guns, breaking bones and exploding bodies.

He has played some serious roles really well though, he was awesome in Copland and Daylight

Who says that they are mutually exclusive?
And like Frags said, he has played in some very good deep movies and done very well. Also, even movies like First Blood and Rocky have a lot more depth and meaning than you give them credit for.

I get it, internet, sarcasm. bad mix. really coach? serious actor and Stallone in the same sentence doesn't reek enough you need to actually read and comprehend? I can smell it dripping from my monitor. Having said that, if you've seen the first Rocky, then you know Stallone to be very capable of acting.

[rajpoot]

I did not say Sylverster Stallone cannot act.
What I said was that most people see him as an action hero, and would rather see him in an action flick rather than anything else.
Expendables 2 could've done with more plot, but too much story can bog down action flicks.

The Virgin Suicides, good movie. Also worrying, Kirsten Dunst was really 15 there, HOT! I probably have to go to the police and admit I like underage girls. Ffs if she told me she was 20 I would totally buy that claim and get into trouble

Silver Linings Playbook - the old lady claims she does not like Bradley Cooper. Interesting that the last two Netflix films were chick flicks featuring that actor, eh? Entertaining enough, but Jennifer Lawrence teases just enough that I was wanting more...and my more would've changed the movies rating.
