Anyway, this one hasn't come out here in Mexico yet, but we did just get Buried and Machete, so there's that.
Also, they're showing Back to the Future at a theater near my house to celebrate its 25th birthday.
It's been a great day to be a movie geek:
BTTF: Still as great as it was back then
Machete: Politics meets grindhouse bloody over-the-topness. Hands down the most FUN I've had with a movie this year. (Scott Pilgrim hasn't made it here yet, JSYK) Danny Trejo makes Jason Voorhees look like a *****.
Buried: Damn good. Reminded me a bit about Dial M for Murder with the whole single setting thing. Great performance from Reynolds. Oh yeah, people were PISSED at the ending. I was getting my mind ready for that outcome, though. When a movie's ending can piss the average moviegoer off, or at least someone who doesn't follow Bob around the internet, that is a damn good movie

Justice Scalia has always been on the "good guy's side". Well, if the good guys include those who believe in the Constitution and the law of the land...
Maybe that says something about MovieBob
Hey Bob, just keep to reviewing movies and stay out of politics...

This reminds of the John Voight movie "Runaway Train" from 1985. Even the old grizzled man and a young pup vs a senior corporate figure are there.MovieBob said:
The film looks good from what i have seen in trailers. Though it is probably predictable in its final out come, the trailer really got me interested when i was watching it at the cinema the other week. Might check this film out soon 
Also what keeps bringing this movie to my attention is when i was at the cinema a few weeks ago and i saw the trailer to this film, my mate next to me came out with, after the trailer came on, "Shit dangerous train". Which to this day still makes me chuckle given the timing of when he said it, so every time i see the advert for this film i keep saying "Shit dangerous train" though other people around me who do not know why i keep saying that give me funny looks ^_^.

Knew Bob couldn't resist bringing up Star Trek as a crack on Pine.
Don't know what exact two facial expressions you're talking about besides: Pretty blue-eyed boy and Pretty blue-eyed boy in distress.
He seems a competent enough actor and looks don't hurt.
btw is it just me or is Denzel Washington suddenly becoming typecast as the unlikely hero conductor? Seriously, Pelham 123 and now this.
tl;dr It's shit.

I think Bob's already been sufficiently depressed by how shitty the previous sci-fi film he reviewed was, as to deter him from doing Skyline.Grey_Focks said:

You've never been to Pennsylvania, have you? The trains run through major population centers because they used to carry steel for the mills. And I mean RIGHT through. Pittsburgh is basically a glorified terminal, with all the tracks running through. The entire movie is based around a curve in the tracks that's in a population center. If a train hits it too fast, it'll derail and cause major shit to go down.FarSpace said:But since this movie is STUPID, yes lets admit it, lol, It looks like some one placed and entire 'Town' on the tracks, LOL...jamesworkshop said:Atleast volcanoes are unpredictable, a runaway train has almost no variablesFarSpace said:True, and besides they can just have some old action hero jump off a helocopter on to it and its done, or just dump a bunch of pennies onto the tracks, lol.jamesworkshop said:
This move's like an old man & why are they doing that and does anyone care what that business guy says or thinks anyways and trians are all run by the government anyways and its a ruse that the government would want to do someone nicer then anyone else after all the government is people same as everyone else.
the thing were someone wants us to believe the government is better then any one else is crazy talk and just some way to get suckers to vote for em, there all bad and everyone should know it... hahaha
Anyone else surprised that Movie Bob knows who Thomas is? My four year old son wandered into the room at the end of this and said
*GASP* A new Thomas movie!.
*GASP* A new Thomas movie!.
I laughed so hard at that, I almost had beverage come out my nose.thatguy1 said:You silly great missle the size of the chrysler building, just look what you've done to our breakfast!WolfmanNougat said:As soon as it was mentioned that the train goes at high speed, without a driver, headed for a crash into civilisation, I just KNEW there was a Thomas the Tank Engine joke to be made! I wonder if any station managers' breakfasts get spoiled in the process...
Anyway, the movie looks like a heap of fun, so maybe I'll go see it.
I so want to see this.
Also, it's actually easy to stop situations like this because railroads have been around for over 150 years and it's not like this would be the first time it's happened; derail the train. There are numerous ways to do it in a less catastrophic way then letting a runaway train crash into it's terminus.
