<li>Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf, because he had never read the books and “didn’t understand the script;” even though he was offered up to 15% of the film’s total box office receipts, which would have been about $400 million (more than any other actor has ever been paid for a single role).<a name='more'></a></li>

<li>Daniel Day-Lewis turned down the role of Aragorn.</li>
<li>It is estimated that filming of the trilogy pumped about $200,000,000 into the New Zealand economy.

Studio Ghibli, is responsible for some of the most fantastic animated films

always something unique and brilliant about Studio Ghibli films - the story. It
has this <i>Je ne sais quoi</i> feel to it, which you just can't get
enough of. The Wind Rises is loosely based on Japanese Aeronautic Engineer,
Jiro Horikoshi's life as a designer of air planes during World War 2. The
story, though fictionalised, takes us through Jiro's life as a designer of
planes and his inspirations - the 'shared dream' with Italian aeronautical
engineer Giovanni Caproni was quite captivating. Also the placement of
historical events such as the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great
Depression, the Tuberculosis Epidemic and World War 2 were subtle. The depiction
of the Kanto earthquake (which was devastating) sneaks up on you and the aftershocks,
terrifying.</span><br />

Wind Rises is a beautiful film in the most literal manner. Caproni's 'shared
dreams' with Jiro displayed some beautiful designs of air planes (yes,
beautiful, maybe not feasible), adding a touch of fantasy (that is all too
familiar with Miyazaki’s films). The depictions of various locations helped set
the tone of the film; a personal favourite was the gloomy (and somewhat foggy)
Nazi Germany.</span><br />

all the beautiful designs and captivating scenes, it was the characters that
brought the film to its masterpiece level; from Jiro’s rise as a brilliant
engineer, to Honjo's realistic views of how things were, to Jiro's romance with
Nahoko - which you always knew was going to give you a heartache, the
mysterious German, Castorp and the ever colourful Kurokawa. These characters were

<a href="http://ajshawler.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-expendables-2-real-view.html">The Expendables</a> is based on a simple premise; bring together a bunch of old tough guys (some of whom have amassed an impressive amount of action movie cred), with a script filled with humour and good old-school action - you know, blowing up stuff, wicked gun fights and awesome hand to hand combat that makes all feel nostalgic of the '80s & '90s action films. And it worked for the first two, the third ... not so much.<br />

The Expendables 3 started out exciting, the rescue scene in the beginning fell short of the first two (my favourite is the first - the rescue mission against the Somali pirates); the train scene was not as intense as the first two, but in it was a sweet and lovely surprise ... Wesley Snipes! I knew he was going to be in it, and I was excited from the get go. And the tax evasion bit ... GOLD!<br />

Then, things started getting wobbly story-wise; till Mel Gibson came on board. I've got to say, Mel as a bad guy wasn't what I was expecting, till I saw his facial expressions and that dude had crazy (explicit) written all over it. He played it very well, though not as good as Van Damme in Part 2. Still, he was (in all fairness) okay. The major problem with this movie is the story; something was off. I think Sylvester Stallone (he also co-wrote the screenplay) got too emotional with the story and delved a little too much into character development, something the franchise is not associated with. His character, Barney Ross, leaving his old team cause of guilt (or something else I can't figure out) over what happened to Halle Caesar (<a href="http://ajshawler.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-very-best-of-terry-crews-random.html">Terry Crews</a>) and then assembling a new team of nobodys (yes, Kellan Lutz is a nobody when you're talking about The 'freaking' Expendables) and going off after the nastiest bad guy he's ever faced. That was a let down.<span id="goog_440258896"></span><br />
<br />
Other than Wesley Snipes, another lovely surprise was Antonio Banderas. Oh, I loved his character, Galgo, very much. He was fun to watch throughout; even in the midst of the never-ending fight scene/mini-war, his little quips were a delight.<br />

In all, The Expendables 3 is just average. It could have been better, if they had stuck to the theme of the first two and not tried to include so many unnecessary emotional twists. It could have been, what most classic action films of old were about; something the first two were centred upon - Revenge.<br />

There are very few directors out there who have what it takes to make big budget movies that viewers love irrespective of what critics have got to say. And there are even fewer, who do so consistently. This is the best description you can give Michael Bay – he doesn’t care about the opinions of critics, rather he makes movies that people are willing to pay IMAX/3D prices for. He has been the man behind the camera in all 4 Transformers films, both Bad Boys films and Pearl Harbour, amongst others.<br />

the 1950's, nuclear bombs going off in the ocean, we see a huge spine in the
ocean … nothing else, and then the roar/scream (or whatever you want to call
it). Fast forward to 1999, the Philippines, where Japanese researcher, Ichiro
Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and his British assistant Vivienne Graham (Sally
Hawkins) inspect an excavation site which also houses a monster's skeleton and
two cocoons hanging from the ceiling; except ... one has hatched and headed to
sea, leaving behind the biggest trail you can think of.</span><br />

Joe's son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) - a Lieutenant with the US Navy returns
home (after 14 months at sea) to his wife, Elle (Elizabeth Olson) in San
Francisco and their son, Sam. After celebrating his return, and Ford has to go
to Japan, because his estranged father just can't seem to move past his
birthday, 15 years ago. Ford bails his father out of jail for trespassing; and
helps him retrieve his (Joe) research data from their old home which has been
quarantined off as a radioactive zone. As they go through the neighbourhood,
things do not appear as they seem - for starters, there is no radiation
whatsoever, then security guards take them to the supposedly abandoned nuclear
plant. From this point on, the monsters take over the movie, as expected.</span><br />

quality Godzilla shots; director, Gareth Edwards, went with the less is more
policy, which worked out brilliantly. An approach which is in contrast to
Roland Emmerich’s 1998 debacle also titled “Godzilla”. Rather, he soothed our
monster cravings by giving us an extended view of the MUTOs (Massive
Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) – you know those giant-flying-insect-looking
monsters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

development was never an expectation for a movie of this genre – Monsters vs.
Monsters; if you want that I suggest you watch a mid-western American drama
like August: Osange County (2013). For a movie about literally the king of
monsters saving Western U.S.A. from desolation, the only character you need to
worry about is the KING! One good reminder here is that human influence is
almost irrelevant, because these guys (monsters) are definitely playing in a
much different league; it’s not to be compared to </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="http://ajshawler.blogspot.com/2013/07/pacific-rim-random-image.html"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Pacific Rim</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">.</span><br />

supporting cast were all good, with big ups to Bryan Cranston, whose intense
moments on-screen added to the build up of the awesome cinematic thrill that
would come from an epic battle of monsters, and the devastation that would
follow. This is all possible because when Walter White is terrified, you should
be!</span><br />

notable scene is the halo jump scene, which was pretty awesome (a bit similar
to the <a href="http://ajshawler.blogspot.com/2011/12/movie-23-star-trek.html">2009 reboot of the Star Trek franchise</a>). But the most notable, is that moment
where Godzilla wakes up and walks back to the sea, those few seconds sum it up
– He is the King of Monsters.</span><br />

Matthew McConaughey has sure come a long way in his career; 10 years ago he was that toned guy that only acted romantic comedies, with one or two action movies on the side; now he's switched to roles that's gradually propelling him into acting icon. Yes, I said it ... Icon. The buzz around <i style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Buyers Club</i> (<b>DBC</b>) was Jared Leto playing a transgender woman, and when you're done with <b>DBC</b>, you would understand why between McConaughey and Leto, they have won nearly 50 accolades.<br />

<b>DBC's </b>based on the true life story of Ron Woodroof, a moustashioed electrician, cowboy, homophobe, druggie and AIDS patient, whose struggles with his discovery of the disease leads him onto a path of smuggling, with some quite brilliant schemes in the mix, to street saviour for AIDS patients - as the pharmaceutical companies and hospitals seem to be less efficient in administering the right drug. Woodroof's take on tackling the disease, from becoming a smuggler clad in priest robes to forming an exclusive club for AIDS patients is raw, because for starters he knows what each of his clients/potential clients feels, and he won't let bureaucratic goons - cue in the Food Drug Administration - get in his way. Thus, a man given 30 days to live rather turned things around, by bending the rules, and added an extra 7 years to his life expectancy.<br />

</tbody></table>
The plot for <b>DBC</b> is quite powerful, we see bonds form between doctor and patient, friendships that transcends sexual orientation (because what does it matter when survival is involved); and most importantly, one man's personal growth from rough tough cowboy - cum - international drug (AIDS medication) smuggler to a man (leading a minority of mostly society's ostracised) who's fighting two difficult battles, against AIDS and the FDA. Both of which are seemingly impossible for him to overcome ... though he fought with everything he had.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KgRTh1MZXoU/UxEuUnOvvnI/AAAAAAAADzs/JmZ4FSluVQg/s1600/dbc-00629-r.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KgRTh1MZXoU/UxEuUnOvvnI/AAAAAAAADzs/JmZ4FSluVQg/s1600/dbc-00629-r.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
Woodroof did not achieve this on his own, he had an amazing set of co-conspirators and villains on his side to make the story worth every minute of viewing. From Jared Leto's Oscar worthy performance of Rayon, a transgender HIV positive patient, later colleague and friend of McConaughey's Woodroof; a performance that let's you question Leto's gender and introduces a softer side of Woodroof's somewhat rugged persona. Jennifer Garner's character - Dr. Eve Saks brings out the most delighting quality of Woodroof (in my opinion) ... that cowboy swagger. McConaughey's take of Woodroof's romantic side is somewhat amusing yet ballsy, as he owns his really emaciated appearance, and seizes the day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OVjVvhwGqUE/UxEuG3uJZ8I/AAAAAAAADzY/HfpHr-Fn4d4/s1600/Dallas-Buyers-Club-Images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OVjVvhwGqUE/UxEuG3uJZ8I/AAAAAAAADzY/HfpHr-Fn4d4/s1600/Dallas-Buyers-Club-Images.jpg" height="228" width="400" /></a></div>
The villains in Denis O'Hare's Dr Sevard and Michael O'Neill's FDA goon Richard Barkley really complimented the plot, as their efforts to bring down Woodroof apparently made him more human in the eyes of this viewer and his fellow HIV/AIDS infected compatriots, that causes him to emerge at the very end of the movie a hero. A memorable scene can be seen at the court, where a somewhat defeated Woodroof is seen begging for his right to survival.<br />

<i><b>Benjamin Button:</b> [Voice over; letter to his daughter] For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.</i><br />
