If you want to see a 260Z 2+2 be a major feature in a movie watch "Safety Not Guaranteed"

 

Not too bad a movie either!

 

I'm pretty sure that it's a 280Z. :P

 

I say that simply because the 260Z was a one year only car here in North America so it's pretty rare, and it has the large 280Z bumpers. ;)

 

I don't agree that it wasn't a bad movie... The pacing was awful, and the story was odd. It was somewhat original, and it had an S30, which are the only two reasons I watched it a second time.

I've seen a few lately, as always. I might list them at some stage but for now I just wanted to add one I finished a few minutes ago.

 

The Kinds of Summer (2013) - Coming of age theme done with a comedy twist. It's short and to the point with laughs in all the right places, the typical conflict you can see a mile away and the same ending you've seen in other movies. Far from original but don't let that stop you from experiencing the ride because that's what it's all about. It was a sleeper hit for me and I gave it a 9/10

Not last night, but right now on SBS One I'm watching a documentary called Microtopia.

 

 

Which looks at different ways people have created their own place to live or call home and alternative living styles. I love this sort of thing, but then again I'm a bit of a hippy to be honest.

Agreed.

Get a haircut you hemp pants wearing tree-hugger.

Been cleaning out the garage and throwing stuff out. Going through the dvd collection and decided one last watch of this one before throwing out:

 

Legend of Speed (1999) is like a Hong Kong version of Fast & the Furious. No S30's, just 2-stroke NSR's, EVO vs WRX, and one Porker.

 

Funniest part for me was when the hero gifts his mechanic a new laptop- "Its a Pentium II 400!!" whoopee!, well it's '99 I guess.

 

Trailer here:

Blue Is The Warmest Colour (2013) - French (subtitled) 'coming of age' movie about a teenage girl living in northern France.

It won the Palme d'Or award at 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

About an hour in, the scene... umm... well... f*ck... *cough* err...

 

...it kind of left me gobsmacked.

 

If you are of a modest disposition, perhaps avoid this one. It's also 3hrs long...

4/5 :)

Well actually tonight

 

Flying High II - stupidly funny movie, not sure if it or the original is better  :D

On my flight to San Fran and back I watched a few movies on board the plane.

 

1. Pacific Rim - Like GodZilla but with Mech Warriors, not much substance to this film but probably appeals to the kids.

 

2. Enders Game - Enders Lame is what they should have called it. A cross between Starship Troopers and something else that's been done before, I like Starship Troopers (original) but not this...Harrison Ford was pretty average in it also.

 

3. Gravity - I didn't think it was that special. Interesting but I guess you guys gave me high hopes and I was a little disappointed. Watching on a plane also doesn't help.

 

4. Russell Brand's - Brand X series. I think he's funny but he might offend some ;).

 

5. Captain Phillips - About Somalian Pirates hi-jacking boats. Pretty good film / story actually.

 

6. GetAway 2013 - Done before, totally unrealistic for a number of reasons. His card had damage off like most Xbox games, unlimited fuel and suffered no mechanical faults throughout the entire film. IMDB gives it 4.3 out of 10, I'd say that's about 1.3 too much ;).

Just landed into Adelaide and watched Gravity on the flight, and have to agree was expecting more from it, I suspect that the tiny screen detracted from the impact.

I watched Gravity on Vmax 3D and was impressed and then watched it at IMAX 3D. Recently watched a bit of it at home. It definitely needs to be seen on a large screen. It's not a film that will blow you away with the story. It's eye candy and very good candy at that.

Watched "Jail Bait" last week... If you're into womens prison films and would like to see what happens to a nice, well endowed young girl when she accidentally kills her abusive step father... this might be your movie of the year.Low budget but you get the idea.

It's a short story from the 1970s, that later became a book in the 80s. It won a couple of sci-fi writers awards back in the day.
