Bit of trivia for you: Dvader has never seen the Goonies. I have to repeat this because it's still shocking to hear.

That gif is from Goonies, who knew.

Netflix on Wii is AWESOME. So easy to watch a million movies. Tonight I saw Moon, a sci-fo flick from a year ago that completely went under the radar. Great movie.

But if you are watching on an HDTV through Wii, isn't the picture less than stellar? Netflix is on PS3 too right?

I will I could get Lovefilm on Wii. I have unlimited rentals per month but you are reliant on how fast the mail and warehouse staff do a turnaround.

English subtitled Detective Dee trailers

Twitchfilm Man from Nowhere review

"Minor quibbles aside, it's an exciting, fast paced action thriller that leaves a lump in your throat and a smile on your face. If only all blockbusters could be this entertaining. Please, someone pick this up for UK distribution and do us all a favour."

That's weird. I thought it would look like Nintendo Channel trailer quality?

They just killed the Total Recall remake:

Hunky Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell has officially been offered the lead role in the upcoming “Total Recall” reboot over at Columbia Pictures. Directed by “Underworld” guru Len Wiseman and penned by Kurt “Equilibrium” Wimmer

Colin Farrel.

I have never seen the appeal.

So Len Wiseman directing. Wasn't it enough that he directed Die Hard 4.0, now he has to ruin Total Recall next? What next? Does he want to trash my Robocop memories? Does he?!

They got Colin Ferrel, well to be fair anyone they get would be a bad choice, there is only one Arnold. This is one of those movies that makes no sense to remake. Its not a series, its not something people have been begging for. The first movie is a classic as is and it only came out like 20 years ago. Movies in my life time are getting remade already, wtf.

Why do people not like Live Free or Die Hard (as it was called here), I thought it was awesome.

Shows we're old.

Seeing a TRON sequel makes me feel old yet when I see Lloyd Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner, incredibly nostalgic in a good way.

Cause he had to baby sit that freaking annoying kid the whole movie. I like that kid in Galaxy Quest, but he was just annoying here. And I guess the film feels fairly far removed from the trilogy before it which was like a product of the 80s and early 90s.

Die Hard 4.0 felt a little limp, a little safe. I wanted kick ass one liners and crazy action, I wanted an 80s movie. No one can make 80s style action movies anymore. Sad Predator, Aliens, Die Hard, Robocop, this shit defined a generation if you grew up at that time.

I enjoyed the pair up. Honestly just seeing Willis being McClane again was enough, he was perfect once again. The movie had a bunch of action, some crazy stuff but they did it well with Bruce saying perfect one liners and stuff. It felt like Die Hard which was enough for me.

I thought Harrison Ford did a much better turn returning to Indy, compared to Willis returning to McClain. Ford had attitude, fire is his belly when he does Indy or Han Solo. Shame about the aliens plot in Indy 4 and the CGI monkeys as the film wasn't too bad apart from those aspects

Also, Stallone returning to Rambo and Rocky, still felt pretty limp compared to the 80s movies.

Really? Ford did awesome, I am not putting him down but I felt Willis fit right back in the same way.

Stallone as well. Rocky Balboa I think is the third best Rocky movie, he was phenomenal in that movie. Rambo was just Rambo, no real need to act much.
