Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior

 

I've always enjoyed Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan, Jet Li and others. Tony Jaa's martial arts are just incredibly awesome!

 

This peek at some of his training shouldn't spoil the fun too much. Just be aware that the movie is pretty brutal and nowhere near as funny as Chan's movies tend to be.

 

 

I didn't enjoy Ong-Bak 2 as much as the first one, though, and haven't yet watched Ong-Bak 3.

 

In any case, the upcoming movie Skin Trade starring Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa looks promising.

Gravity

 

When I watched it in cinema, I knew nothing about the movie beforehand. And I think that's the most enjoyable way to watch this movie.

 

I think the trailer gives too much away already, but if you want to take a look, here it is:

 

 

In any case, be aware that it starts in Earth's orbit, so if you're afraid of heights this might not be for you.

Chronicle (surprisingly good)

I'm a sci-fi guy who couldn't get into any of the Star Trek films until Abrams directed it. That trailer you posted already has more suspense than the Lucas' three. I'm gonna watch VII at theater alone and be a kid again. :)

No, I meant Star Trek. :P I was responding to Call911's post where he hoped disney doesn't ruin Star Wars. I was just saying Abrams made Star Trek quite entertaining for me so I trust he'll do the same with episode VII. :P

 

:D

 

Yes, Pandorum was awesome!

Did someone say Star Trek? Of course it used to be some of the best SciFi until JJ ruined it! :D

 

This is by far my favorite of all Star Trek movies:

 

 

I just knew there were some Trekies in here :D

 

Yeah kinda hard to stomach Star Wars not being done by Lucas. guess i just can't imagine it bein done by anyone else beings i grew up with em(original like 1977 or so) man i'm gettin old.

@Sabre now theres ome classics in there. i just the other day watched In Harms Way on netflix

nooo Yurgon... JJ Abrams did the series a huge favour by rebooting it, (it had nowhere to go and was stale) and he did a brilliant job doing it

 

 

 

 

but, for the fond of heart...

Too bad this isn't the place for a heated discussion about JJ's abuse of what Star Trek used to be (although I admit that "Into Darkness" had some very strong character moments and both movies feature exceptional actors). :D

 

In any case, I think that fan film is so much more true to the heart of Star Trek than JJ's reboot has ever been, that would have been the way to go. I hadn't previously watched this, thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

 

(On a side note, I'm not a fan of Voyager; I think Garret Wang's performance in "Of Gods and Men" easily surpassed anything he did in those seven years; damn B&B for taking the joy out of such great actors).

Hi,

I've just watched this movie and enjoyed it a lot.

So, I just wanted to bring your attention to it and share it with you, hoping you will like it too.

 

 

Cheers

Oh wow. This is a fabulous surprise. If you like action movie then this is goooood. The plot is paper thin but it everything from dialog, pacing and action just felt right on. Especially the action.

Also, saw Keanu Reeves in LA once, really nice guy.

Sounds good, leafer! Just the other day I'd been wondering if Keanu Reeves was still in business. :)

 

So, 47 posts on a flight sim forum and we haven't yet mentioned Flight? I'm proud of you guys!

 

So let me be the one to say that the movie is utterly boring. It has little to do with flying, and that little bit is exaggerated. If you're into movies about alcoholics and drug addicts, this one is for you. Just don't watch it expecting to see something interesting about aviation.

 

Or just don't waste more than two hours of your life, the trailer nicely condenses the movie:

a) not in cinema (at least not for this one)

b) in Germany, where there wasn't any Netflix back then

 

And it still requires a bit of fidgeting around to be able to watch it on Netflix now that we have it. That's why I thought I'd finally watch this (apparently) interestingly themed movie. Well, shoulda watched House of Cards instead. Which, BTW, is what I'm going to do right now. See you guys in 2 hours after I finish the season 3 finale. :D

 

Edit: Finished. Woah. Awesome show!
