Default Battleship

Noise louder than Spinal Tap's 11. Daft storyline, something like Independence Day meets Transformers, Rhianna needed a good tousling by an alien though. The CGI saves it though. Go and see it if you're a boy's toy kinda bloke, otherwise....

They have basically meshed together three comics into one story line seamlessly. It is meant to be a 3D movie, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

Battleship is a 2012 American science fiction action naval war film based on the game of the same name.

I guess it's not too literal in its translation. Hasbro funded it.

Worrying developments in Hollywood blockbusters..expect more drivel in years to come.

there was a little bit at the end when it was based on the game, otherwise it was just a transformer movie.

I know Cluedo was turned into a film, but making a film based on Monopoly might be a bit dull- or was that the basis for Wall Street?

Not sure. But I wouldn't put it past the writers in Hollywood as they scrape the bowels of their imagination. Personally, I think Scrabble the movie could be a success, maybe followed by Sudoko. I'd expect them to be film noir.

Yep. It's called 'Clue' in some markets. Stars Tim Curry.

Cluedo was actually quite a romp if I recall the film - sometime in the mid to late 80s.

No ruddy great big dice murdering people though...maybe when Michael Bay does the remake it will though

Rusty Nayler, perhaps?

I like the idea of Mrs. Ho and the Reverend Green as a couple, though.
