Matlock Reloaded: Seen it?

Early reviews are positive, anyone caught it yet?

The freeway scene is said to be the most riveting chase put to celluloid since Hucklebuck's college media project, in which he chained two well-nourished badgers to his skateboard, affixed a video-cam to his helmet and dangled a tube of Pringles in front of the creatures, gripping on for dear life as they scorched across Stockton Common at velocities of up to 4 miles per hour.

Perhaps someone can shift this to the Behind Closed Doors forum, where it was intended?

'The One' , Neil 'Keanu Reaves' attended the Hollywood premiere and by all accounts enjoyed a banger the size of an ostrich arm, smothered in hostile mustard, spicy onions rivalling dustbin lids and a bap capable of flight.

'I enjoyed the roll immensely, and the film was also a good laugh bouncing around walls and that' said Reeves as he processed several gigabytes of data between snacks.

We're hoping to secure seats on opening night here in the UK (+ or - 5 days either side) which could even be this month (a mere 30 days after the worldwide release) - after reading this review (note the date below):

SYNOPSIS Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson have agreed to deliver a large sum of money to a gangster, unfortunately a kangaroo has made off with the cash and is currently bounding all over the Outback!

Were the Expressive Males up to scratch or was it as hollow as the first outing?

Is Stretch Armstrong involved?

I've just seen the trailer yesterday. Quite frankly, the highway chase looks too CGI for my liking...

The highway has high walls and is surrounded by bare land, at least based on shots about filming. Does this remain in the actual film? Seems less than ideal.

Is that your own question P or one submitted from the Hollywood Surround Wizard?

It's my very own, H. Since it's not a musical, the Surround Wizard is probably not interested.

story wasnt as political this time round so a different sort of film, more cash meant better effects etc & the new characters are interesting

this was more of an event film, the last one more of an allegory to racism

it was good, but not great

the motorbike going the wrong way up the freeway? that looked excellent - for cgitastic check out the multiple agent smiths fighting neo

the twins look like adding something extra though

trailer certainly whetted my appetite. the film "the secretary" looks good too.

off to see intacto tonight - spanish film.

they constructed two miles of road especially for the film - i thought that the agents jumping from bonnet to bonnet looked good

Memorable line from trailer: "Have you ever thought about NOT being a mutant?"

But my concern is whether it will look that way in the movie as well: surrouded by nothing but dirt.

Just getting back 'on-topic' -

P, do you and the 'Surrounding Wizard' wage musical dance wars in his (or her) lounge together?

The Matlock II looks pretty damn fine if you ask me. The original one still looks amazing today and that's 'after' MVP The Most Valuable Primate II has been shown on cable for a few months!!!

I'm not sure of any dirt road but if its anything like the one from Mad Maxine Beyond Thunderclap Newman you can count me in.

Matlock III is due at Chrimbo time so there's a bonus package also to enjoy.

Shall I tell you something else really interesting about the Matosk? - should I ... eh, should I declare it and release it? - are you excited .... I bet you are. Well, hold on to your hat stands.

Here goes.

Okay,

ready ...

well then,

are you all sitting in comfort? - I will proceed.

In The Matron I ... in one of the scenes, Keanu Raider (The One) is replaced with a stunt double to jump clear of an oncoming badger.

Fact.

I don't remember Neo battling any badgers; was that limited to the European version of the film?

By the way, H, did you happen to see my post about Ravenous?

I, I did. I though I'd commented?

Maybe never.

It was on a good run a while back on Sky (cable / satellite) but we never seemed to catch it. Kind of thought it looked a bit bland but I'm willing to be stood corrected. Is it worth a viewing? - do men digest other men's shoes? I know Geoff Pearce is in the film which is a huge bonus. Probably with a tatoo on his bottom reminding him of the calorie count of a human nostril.

Watched 'Changing Lakes' the other day with Ben Antler and Sammy Jasons. It was a good premise, but personally I found it tedious not helped by my inability to believe anything Benjamin appears in. More so now he's going with Jeremey Root Beer the lady from the blocky.

Still to get the Interpippins album. Must apologies for this, I intend to purchase this weekend. Remember though, we have no CD shops in our town so its not as easy as it sounded.

I just thought it might be the sort of thing you'd like, although it's undoubtedly tamer than Texas Chain Store Massacre. Probably it was having it come on the SciFi channel at 4 am and waking me up that contributed to its charm.

I look forward to your reaction to Interplanetary. I continue listening to almost nothing else.

Big Ben is beginning to wear out his welcome, isn't he? However, one thing in his favor is his height, which seems quite unusual for movie stars.

Yes, he would be on my list to reach down apples.

What ever happened to his pal Good Geoff Hunchback? - didn't he suffer a direct hit from the scrawny bird from The Talentless Mr. Whipsnake which sent him spinning down the un-cool death hole suffered by similar beings from the B-sides.

Mmmm, didn't Griffin Petroid date Private Benjamin at one stage? - before he walked out with the dominant male Jessica Low-Blow stair walker.

Are you still pretty keen on Maria Care Worker and her opulent breasts? - I have seen on British TV a seagull nesting in them after a short flight to pick a worm from the sands.

Ben's pal had a minor success post Ripley in the Born Again Identical Twin.

And Gwyn seems to like a variety in heights, judging by recent reports.

MC remains the celebrity I'd most enjoy seeing miserable.
