Fans of Smallville may recognise the outside of the Queen family home. It was the same building used as the Luthor mansion in Smallville.
Love the opening music. Regina Spector is awesome.
While the premise of "a guy on a stage reads out the comments posted on YouTube music videos" does not sound even remotely entertaining, do not be put off.
This is one of the funniest things I have watched in ages. Better still it gets funnier with repeated viewings!
MY CONDELENC!
Just. Watch. It. (Trust Me)
Stick with it - it only gets better as the season progresses. Great acting all round and likeable characters. I can see why Harrison Ford agreed to do this. It’s a great role. Jessica Williams lights up the screen in every scene she’s in.
Perfectly cast. Perfectly acted. A slow burner with enough twists and turns to keep you enthralled till the final episode. I can't wait for season 2.
I have loved Tyler Sheridan’s movies - Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water - so I had high expectations going into this. It looks great but so far I have been disappointed chiefly due to the poor writing and I likeable characters. Seriously how many times do we need to almost kill a kid. Some of the subplots in this show are sloppy writing and just feel like padding. It doesn’t seem to know where it is going. The acting is first rate though, and the many Dutton family conflict is the one saving element. I am currently undecided as to whether I will bother continuing on to season 2.
I absolutely loved the book when I read it a few years ago and I have been really pleased that they have truly done it justice with this adaption - it is definitely one of the best shows I have seen this year.
My only disappointment was that we never once saw Elizabeth, Calvin or Mad showing much affection towards Six Thirty. He was such an important character in the book and such an important member of the family. I just wish we got more of an indication of how much they loved him. The dog POV episode actually worked better than I thought it would but it always felt it was an aspect of the book that could have been easily excised. It was just sad that he was then pretty much ignored for the rest of the epsiodes.
It's impressive that they made a show without a single likeable character. I want to punch all of them. These guys are idiots but not even in the cool, funny sense.
Not sure how this one passed me by. Brilliant and terrifying.
Great movie, but the story deviates from the truth a lot. If you want to know more, read this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/dec/11/betty-anne-waters-interview
Total awesome. My heart was in my throat continuously watching this. Great visual style, Awesome soundtrack, and one of the best movie openings I've seen in a while. The chemistry between Gosling and Mulligan is palpable. One suggestion when you watch it - turn the lights down and the sound up - it is a movie that requires your undivided attention...
So for two hundred year’s there has been multiple generations of Stark’s banging on about Winter coming…
Trivia: The girl kissed by Elliott in the classroom scene is none other than former playmate and baywatch star Erika Eleniak!
My absolutely favourite of the Walt Disney-era Disney films. Amazing songs and great characters. It also stands up well to the test of time. Trivia - This was the last film to have Walt Disney's personal touch before his death in 1966.
An Aussie classic - "The Castle" is laugh-out-loud hilarious! It's one of those movies that just gets better and better with repeated viewings, and has so many quotable lines!
Trivia - Look out for Eric Bana is his first ever film role.

Forget "A Good Day to Die Hard", THIS should have been the new Die Hard movie. With only a few changes this could easily have replaced Channing Tatum with Bruce Willis as John McClaine. Other that a few minor flaws, it surprisingly delivered all the thrills of a classic 80s action movie. Sure the plot was preposterous - but that's kind of what makes it fun. For pure DieHardian action this movie leaves you smiling.
Great movie. This was the breakout role for Jennifer Aniston where, for the first time, she got to show her acting chops and prove that she could be more than just 'Rachel' from Friends. From her opening monologue, you realise that she is doing something special, and she puts in a wonderfully controlled performance.
Other standouts are early roles from Jake Gyllenhaal as a troubled young man who thinks he's Holden Caulfield and Zooey Deschanel as a retail store employee with an acerbic wit.
It is hard to believe that this was the highest grossing movie of 1987. Having just watched it again, I can tell you that the years have not been kind!
I remember watching this movie as a kid and liking it, but as an adult I just find it annoying. Firstly, there is almost no plot, and what little there is, is silly and contrived. Second, it just isn't that funny. The cast try hard but the script doesn't give them much to work with.
I wonder how the original French movie bears up to similar scrutiny....
That battle scene was AWESOME. The effects were amazing - rivalled any movie. See how it was made here: http://www.slashfilm.com/hardhome-effects/
RIP Robin Williams & Elliott Smith. Two amazingly talented individuals who sadly took their own life.
"You know nothing Jon Snow!"
Watched this out of curiosity and was pretty unimpressed. It's beautifully shot and they clearly had fun blowing their budget on trips to exotic locales, but it falls short in every other aspect. It's arguments are simplistic, and lack any real convincing evidence. While it will appeal to the anti-Obama camp, it is unlikely to win over any new converts.

This is worth watching for Rhino alone! He RULES this pic!
This movie is worth watching for its soundtrack alone!
That's two hours of my life I'm never getting back...
Gareth Edward's first movie. Very impressive considering the shoestring budget. Not at all what you expect - much more character-driven than action packed. More romantic drama, than horror, though there are definitely scares to be had here. Very well shot, and keeps the suspense up by not showing the monsters until necessary. Recommended.

Dude! MY Mom's Martha too!

Are you fucking kidding me?
Trivia: Stoker was written by Wentworth Miller, the actor who played Michael Scofield in Fox's 2005 TV drama "Prison Break". Hard to believe, I know!
