Atavachron wrote: The Expendables Not sure what the appeal is with this mostly vacuous exercise in tired mercenary action and politically bankrupt adventurism, but it seemed to sate the appetite of some for such a banal popcorn flick.   Stallone actually does a nice job directing and delivering an amusing performance as the leader of, what else, a motley crew who find themselves caught-up in a morally questionable government operation.   Largely indistinguishable from a flashy modern TV show, this dud would be better named The Avoidables.

Then I recommend you don't watch The Expendables 2  - though the humour content is jacked up several notches by the inclusion of Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, it's more of the same and then some. Given the growing waistlines of the cast, this would be better named The Expandables.

Case 39

Predictable and endlessly talky terror-thriller with Renée Zellweger as a social worker who comes to the aid of a young girl whose parents are trying to kill her...until we learn the horrifying truth!   Another Evil Incarnate movie with a lot of mood but nothing really interesting to say.

Silver Linings Playbook.

However, here is what I do not understand: why does the scriptwriter/novelist think that we should buy into the idea that love is the cure to the protagonist's mental illness? BS. What this man needs is medication, whether he likes it or lumps it. Plus, how did it come to Tiffany to do the research about Eagles and Cowboys? She's not even into this stuff. How convenient for her. What a cheap way for the writers to resolve the argument. These things simply render the script as somewhat weak. That is my main "complaint".

The Three Stooges

Miserable, almost unwatchable farce from 2012 about the Fine Brothers that combines biography with satire in the manner of a series of Stooges short films.

there's a 'How Did You Lose Your Virginity?' thread, maybe he thought you meant to post there

Then again, you appeared to think I was sh*****g one.  

Just finished watching Barry Lyndon for the fourth time. What a masterpiece. Gets better with every viewing.
