And the day after tomorrow is actually underrated. 2012 was pretty bad. Can't bring myself to watch San Andreas I love a cheesy disaster movie too. San Andreas is ok, I always find the Rock strangely watchable, even though most of his films are a bit ropey. Not a disaster movie as such, but in the similar vein of being potentially shite...... I'm unashamedly looking forward to 'Meg' next summer. Based on books by Steve Alten, a 'Megalodon' shark somehow manages to survive in the Marina Trench and ends up back in normal waters...... I wouldn't describe the books as 'good' by any means, but ever since Jaws as a kid, I've been terrified/fascinated by sharks, so a film with a shark the size of a couple of double decker buses appeals to me! I'd have loved a proper big budget blockbuster, but its got Jason Statham in, so I'm hoping that means they spent all the dough on effects Anyway, who doesn't want to see a film that might contain a scene like this.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ha that looks fun and Statham is great. Agree on the Rock, he also always comes across as a nice guy, should just do better films, though his brief appearance in The Other Guys is very funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Loved this one. Probably first saw it in Year 9 Geography I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go the hardback of that book on its release in 1997. It's been in talks for a film for 20 years. Glad to see it is getting made. Film also stars Li Bingbing who at 44, looks amazing Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hitmans Bodyguard was surprisingly good. nothing fresh but great chemistry between main 2 actors and Gary Oldman hamming it up as a dictator best Samuel L Jackson performance in a while though Salma hayek stole the show 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the first one, thought they did a good job of giving it an element of plausibility. The 2nd book jumped the Shark a bit , but it was ok. The film is a mixture of the two apparently, which is a little concerning. To be honest, as long as the effects are good and there's plenty of scenes where the giant prehistoric Shark eats everything and everybody, I'll be happy (and have slightly soiled undercrackers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Statham going to fight it face to face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted August 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2017 Have I mentioned that I watched Tron: Legacy for the first time last weekend? I know it's old and I didn't really expect much but I absolutely loved it. Stonking soundtrack by Daft Punk too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
