Akin to the "Musical Picks" topic, I want to hear what your all time favourite movies/television shows are. It can be anything from action to drama to sports to romance (who watches that anyway though?). Don't be shy and don't be mean to other members, even if they really did enjoy Superbaby-Geniuses or whatever that piece of crap was called

 

I'll start off with a couple of my favs; I find most of the ones I put down are great films all together, but have shining endings.

 

Blood Diamond (Thriller/Drama): Leo DiCaprio picks up a sick south african accent in this eye-opening thriller/drama. Great music but if you're a Leo fan, you can probably already guess how it ends lol.

Friday Night Lights (Sports): I'm not a football guy, but the cinematography and story made this a refreshing change to the typical, predictable, sports movie. Plus, the instrumental music by Explosions in the Sky fits perfect (note: the trailer is crap, watch the film).

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (Fantasy): If you are on a Lego forum where Lego LOTR products are frequently discussed, you probably already know how awesome the films are. If you don't, I'll leave it up to the mods to immediately revoke your membership to BrickPicker (jk).

 

And last I'll just end with my favourite TV show, which is probably going into its final season this year, The Mentalist (crime procedeural): this murder-a-episode series focuses on a former psychic who is now tracking the serial killer who murdered his family. The show can be light and funny, but when the serial killer ("red john") gets involved, it can get pretty unnerving. The series has spent 5 years tracking down murderers so feels a bit tired, but it is still my favourite. And, I'll post a trailer for the 3rd season finally:

Phew, if you got through all that... you don't get bored easily, do you? Now tell me your picks!

Just a heads up to all, Who's Line is it Anyway? is back on the air!

The third commercial makes me want to dig up my old 6952 Solar Power Transporter.  With so many ways to transform it, that was a really fun set

M-Tron, Blacktron, Futuron, Uni-Tron, they all were so good.

Ha, I forgot the hiphop trend they incorporated into some of the commercials at the time.

Here's some trailers for Disney's Planes which is coming to theaters August 9th in 3D.

Cash grab if there ever was one, especially for toy marketing.

Any Veronica Mars fans here ?  The new movie is coming out in 2014 and mainly funded via the most successful project in Kickstarter history.

Saw Red 2 Today. Great movie. I have a serious man crush on Bruce Willis.

First one was awesome, and the sequel looks to be more of the same.

Can't wait to see it!

Gotta love Air Canada's free in-flight entertainment. I forced myself to think that I was going to write articles the whole way on the plane, but half way through I caved and watched a couple episodes of BBT, followed by Iron Man 3 and The Place Beyond the Pines. Honestly, I liked The Place Beyond the Pines more. Iron Man 3 felt... too different - in a bad way, while TPBTP felt different in a good way. The way they shot Iron Man just made it really hard for me to connect with Stark even though I had seen the other two films (out of those I found the first one a big step up). Plus the villan sorta sucked and the ending tried and failed to copy the bittersweet finale of the DK trilogy..

 

As for The Place Beyond the Pines, I thought it was pretty refreshing in the storyline and cinematography (yeah, yeah, I probably spelled that wrong). It could use a little more character development, but it was already pretty emotional, and I liked how it covered multiple views and storylines and the perspective of the viewer changed over time. In that respect it was a sort of throwback to another generation-by-generation classic, how the west was won. Thumbs up on this movie. Reception hasn't been good, but that means I can pick up a DVD for cheap now

My wife saw Despicable Me 2 yesterday and said it was really good. I don't care for those cutesy movies.

If your LEGO investments don't do very well you may need Matt Foley so you don't end up in a van down by the river:

I think everyone, myself included, just wants to see that for the minions.

Yeah thats why she likes it. I guess I don't have a heart but I just don't care for it. Most of my types of comedy involve crude references and someone being murdered hilariously.

 

Speaking of that, anyone check out Sharknado? Five star comedy. It was a comedy right?

The minions are pretty funny, but so are the kids and Gru.

Nice clip. Despicable Me seems to be one of the best Dreamworks movies out there.
