Unbelieveable!

TMZ caught Michelle Rodriguez and asked her - she was seriously ticked! They also asked her if ti would make a difference, and this was opening week, she said if your name is in the credits of the world's number one film with $160 million dollars - how stupid do you have to be to ask that question?

Michelle is a down-home-girl, meaning she's a real person. I like her for that reason. To me, Paul Walker's death, sorry to say, was the driving force behind that movie making a mint. Even I was curious (this was my first theater experience with the whole franchise) and now it seems Deisel is out to make it number 8.

I think there's another reason why this franchise has 7 under it's belt - the whacked out stunts. So for them to diss the stunt men and women in this latest movie is downright despicable.

I would be pissed too. As a matter of fact, I AM pissed!

Because you have avoided the others in the franchise, I will suggest you continue to avoid the Tokyo Drift one - that almost killed it all.

I also enjoyed Ex-Machina. Was surprised it was done in 2013 - must have benefited from Imitation Game reviving interest in the Turing Test.

It seemed like a base version of the theory behind Blade Runner. Some of my guesses during the film were incorrect.
How did he take apart and handle the razor blades without cutting his fingers, even when trying?

I don't give a shit what you think of certain actors. I don't have to make my choices based on your opinion. Clooney has done some good films, and quite a few bad. My main interest in Tomorrowland is the director, Brad Bird.

I didn't know F4 was recasting Jessica Alba's role with Jane Mara - good call. Just saw the trailer, looks good.

Just saw Ex Machina, excellent film, and yes it probably did get a boost from the Imitation Game (Turing Test), which is also a very good film.

Ex Machina: Loved the tone and pace of the film, a real Indie work of art. Oscar Isaac was slimy and conniving as the modern-day Frankenstein. But for my money Alicia Vikander as Ava, stole the movie. She was brilliant. Childlike, manipulative and calculating; conveying emotion and emotionless almost simultaneously. Truly an underrated and unknown performance - until now. Very little in this movie is predictable, it felt like a Twilight Zone story to the 10th Power, the film moved quite well and had a solid storyline. Dr. Frankenstein (Mary Shelley) would be proud.

Me, too. I'm really curious about this film, mainly because I like bits of magic/fantasy in my stories (it's why I went to see John Carter). The trailer piqued my interest - gonna see it sometime this week.

Are you a fan of his cartoon work, or MI?
