  1. Can anyone clarify which network will be broadcasting the game? NHL.com lists CBC for 7pm ET but also the Pens vs Jackets game at 730pm ET.
  2. Finally watched Fast and Furious 6. Plotholes and physics aside, still found it entertaining I guess. 7/10
  3. REALLY? I am nowhere as generous. The opening segment with Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan was so painfully stupid I had to stop haha. Couldn't even get through it.
  4. I couldn't even get through a quarter of the movie, let alone give it an 8/10. To each his own I guess haha.
  5. Not sure if I agree with Alchemy Time's comment about The Wolverine being "everything [one would] want from a superhero movie" but it was entertaining nonetheless. Obviously the movie is based on the Japanese saga of Wolverine, so if you're not into that setting, it might already throw you off a bit from the movie. While the movie had an interesting storyline, it still deviates a tad from the comics and the plot and end-game of the movie was quite predictable (to me) from the get go.There were quite a few cheesy scenes, but some cool action scenes as well. As Alchemy Time mentioned, there was a bullet train fight scene, but IMO it bordered on unrealistic (yes, I know this is a movie about a mutant but the physics in that scene were so ridiculous) and threw me off a bit when it ran on for an extended period of time. Hugh Jackman was about as good as you'd expect in his portrayal, but some of the other characters seemed to be a bit bland at times and the chemistry was sometimes lacking. The actress who played Mariko was stunning though. I give The Wolverine 7/10. Of course, these are just my thoughts and others may feel differently. If any of you go watch, hope you enjoy. And FYI, there's a mid-credits scene that you should stick around for! For those who missed:
  6. Watching Wolverine later. Hope I enjoy it..
  7. Excellent, I've been hearing great things about it. I rarely see comedy movies in theatres but will make an exception for this tonight.
  8. Forgot what I rated it, but it was alright. The movie is definitely entertaining, but I felt it definitely lacked any sense of character development. This may have been due to the fact that the whole concept of the movie is essentially rooted in mystery and the illusions of "magic". Basically, if you're an easy-going movie watcher, ie. just for entertainment value, I think you'll enjoy it. If you're like me and sometimes entertainment is not enough, you might find some problems while watching the movie. What'd you expect from M. Night Shamammamammamamylan lol
  9. Was in the mood for some comedic features lately so I watched: Identity Thief: 6.5/10 Had its share of funny moments (not to mention a few that actually made me laugh aloud), but was also too predictable as the movie progressed. Bateman and McCarthy were great though. Warm Bodies: 7.5/10 Didn't know what to expect plot-wise going in, but the movie was enjoyable. The movie is pretty much a modern, yet post apocalyptic allusion of Romeo and Juliet. Having Rob Corddry appear was an added bonus. Always gets a laugh or two out of me.
  10. I really liked Horrible Bosses, they had a good cast too. How's Melissa McCarthy in this? I'm a fan of Bateman but never really seen any of McCarthy's work.
  11. Whoa 7.5? Maybe I should check it out..
  12. Watched Now You See Me tonight. I would say 6/10. Edit: was too generous with previous rating
  13. Follow-up: Mud was good. 9/10 Really well-done. I am interested in watching director Jeff Nichols' other two films now.
