I watched "Rush" last night...

Post by NicF » Thu Jan 09, 2014 8:45 am

Couldn't sleep so I put it on. Quite a good movie about the rivalry between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda back in the 70s. Not a lot of driving in it but what there was was better than the F&F Hollywood style. I kept expecting Hemsworth to wield a big hammer though, probably because I watched Avengers in the weekend.

All in all a good watch, especially if you're into F1 history.

I really enjoyed it. I agree that the driving scenes were better than most but still not quite right. I would turn gay for Hemsworth.

I haven't seen Rush yet but plan to. Chris Hemsworth is a brilliant actor and if you haven't seen it already, I recommend "The cabin in the woods" which he was in and I personally regard as the best movie of 2012.

Yep, Cabin in the Woods is in my list of all time top ten. have to watch it while the other half is out though, she just doesn't see the funny side of it and thinks I'm a psycho for laughing all the way through.

there are a few subtitle websites that *may* have the SRT file for it.
if you have a subtitle (*.srt) file, as long as its in the same directory as the movie and has exactly the same filename (excluding the file extension of course) then most players will load it with the movie.
