I recently obtained a 2nd hand Playmobil Roman Arena. Unfortunately the lions were missing…

MOVIE'S 2014
-
I thought Godzilla war great. Just needed a tad bit more monster fights, and a remake of the original Score.
DOFP was really good, the plot was interesting.
Spider-man 2 was good also, just disappointed that rhino barely was in it.
-
Jump Street 22 sucked. Boring. Standard schlock.
-
I’m looking forward to the turtles movie.
I always loved turtles as a kid, and goddamn Megan Fox is one hot chick.

The previews have the TMNT fighting an organization similar to COBRA. I need my turtles in classic form, fighting Shedder and evil mutants.
I feel Megan Fox has gotten less attractive since her Transformer days. I need my April O Neil in a yellow jump suit and d cup size.
My kids have got to experience the original cartoon series with me, good stuff.
-
Megan Fox is a very unattractive beautiful woman.
-
Very well put. Will just wait for Turtles on TV. Will see Edge of Tomorrow on Monday, heard some good things about it.
-
In England they’re TMH (for Hero) Turtles: Ninjas is bad.
-
Except for the shaky cam “Edge of Tomorrow” was pretty good. I just hate the shaky cam film making style that is standard op these days.
I had to skip “Turn” and I guess I’ll be skipping “Falling Skies” given how I couldn’t get through the first ten minutes of the opener because of the shaky cam.
-
Edge of Tomorrow is basically Nietzsche’s concept of Eternal Recurrence with some modifications.
He says you basically repeat everything in life, while this movie offers the opportunity that you remember the past and can enable a better repeat with successive returns…
I think the movie sucked. Waste of money.
-
Expendables III and Flash comming soon.
Any bids?? -
Cliche movies. Avoid.

hmm Fuhny or fury? we will see…
-
omg, sorry, but that trailer looks awful.
This movie seems like just another WW2 movie, where the US americans pretend to be the great war heroes that saved Europe from Nazi Germany.
So much pathos and nationalism and patriotism, I can’t even stand to watch the trailer, let alone the movie…

Thanks for the trailer Aequitas.
I saw a Tiger… -

ya MrRoboto it looks like it, may be a DVD watch worth.
The upside is, this time they used a real Tiger tank. Tiger late Version with his own tracks, not like the one they used in saving Ryan ,half Tiger half T34 late production 8-).
The movie looks like a made up story.Ya Wittmann, we can only hope that they gave the Tiger a very good prescence in it!
-
Exactly. And it cannot be destroyed by an Amerikaner. In a Sherman!
I thought it was Tiger 131 from Bovington. -
Lol, you guys are some nerds :-)
I don’t care at all, which tank it is and wouldn’t recognize it in any way. And it doesn’t really influences how good a movie is, if you ask me.
Story, camera, actors, directing, editing, costumes, depth, emotion… these are the things that matter in movies. Not “realness” of tanks
But then… we are on a forum that focuses on WW2 so I shouldn’t be surprised :-)
-
you finally figured, welcome on board! :-D
It is easy to recognize the details. The late version of a Tiger has a diffrent commanders exit, the place of the notec light is also important and of course the Verschachtelung - Setting of the wheels is giving you some clues. Also the camo, zimmerit,insignias of the Division and does the Tank still have the Africa tubes on the Exhaustion pipes etc, etc…very simple ha, ha, ha…
Isn’t the Bovington one from africa?
-
Abandoned in Tunisia, yes, captured by the British . Was from the 504th Battalion.

Use of a real tank might not influence anything in-and-of-itself, but I certainly think that going through the effort to use a real one as opposed to a fabrication speaks of a level of quality and dedication to the story that may be absent in a similar film.
And yes, it does look like something of a flag waving American hero movie, but what else do you expect from Hollywood? The masses are perceived to not care about war stories that do not involve Americans. That may very well be true, but it is unfortunate.
I saw the preview when I went to see Planet of the Apes on Saturday (which was surprisingly very good). I had known about Fury for some time and was under the impression that it would be just another war film along the lines of Red Tails or Pearl Harbor or some garbage like that… all action and no substance. However, the trailer really intrigued me. Looked much grittier and more serious than I anticipated. Not quite a Saving Private Ryan, but I was encouraged. There does seem to be some dramatization, what with a tank duel and all, but I’d watch it.
Another preview I saw over the weekend was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk1M_HwmFMM
Unbroken. The story of Louis Zamperini; a former Olympic track athlete whose plane was shot down over the Pacific and survived the ocean and POW camps. This seems to be a very very close adaptation of his true story. I am interested in it. Sadly, Zamperini just recently died. There is a fuller account you can read on him here.
