Sweeney Todd 5/10
I wanted to like it, all the acting was great, it all looked very nice, but as stupid as this sounds, the singing kind of ruined it :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

But it's based on a musical, it has to contain singing! Depp was actually very good, he kept his London accent all the way through, I actually thought the guy who played Toby (who incidentally this was his first movie) was actually very good! Otherwise my sentiments are the same and I'd give it a 8/10

---------- Post added at 10:59 ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 ----------

Yep, brilliant film, but I didn't get the ending Not the bit where the main protagonist dies but after that I'd give the main bulk of the film 9/10!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So Depp can't sing then?:)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Invasion

Nichole Kidman and Daniel "I cant act" Craig star in a 2007 remake of invasion of the body snatchers.

Quite good in places & let down by poor acting in others. Worth watching though.

8\10

That's whay I said "As stupid as this sounds" 'cos it's kind of a silly thing to say about a musical, that the singing ruined it. I knew it orignally was one.

Depp's singing didn't ruin it, I dunno, depends if you want to see a David Bowie tribute act ;) None of the singing was bad, I just didn't enjoy the singing. Not my cup of tea rather than a fault of the film if you see what I mean.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Bee Movie

Not the best Dreamworks movie but quite entertaining...kept my kids quiet for the duration , so it can't be that bad (I rather enjoyed it too)

7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

American Gangster (unrated) excellent

AVP R it was good enough

Hoodwinked good family fun

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

million dollar babe,excellent 8/10 ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We Own The Night 10/10 excellent a must see

30 Days of Night 7/10 good enough vampire movie

Eastern Promises 7/10 good for a british made movie nice and violent

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thats my take on it anyway.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just back from Cloverfield, firstly Matt D summed it up perfectly earlier "The Blair Godzilla Project".

Secondly - IF you want to see this, don't wait for DVD, get to the cinema as its an audio tour de force, my ears are ringing.

Thirdly, its THE most UNBELIEVABLY frustrating movie i've ever enjoyed, you either want to smack some sense into some of them (Blair Witch parallels again) or tell them to turn that friggin camera in the direction of something interesting, because most of the time all you see is the wall, or a path etc whilst it sounds like World War 3 is kicking off in any other direction other than where the camera is pointing. DAMN im frustrated.... :grr:

As for marks, hell knows, i enjoyed it, but i feel like strangling a cat; however based on the fact i think it deserves a second viewing and for some reason i was on the edge of my seat, im going for an 8.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I have good surround and a bloody big screen so it will do here in my home cinema ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Your surround sound better be very good then to get the same feeling as you do in the cinema, when the monster walks ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

well you may be surprised my set up is pretty good. Also when I watch films alone there isnt any giggling or crunching of popcorn or talking or people walking in front of me and if i need a wazz I pause it. Enough plus points there me things thats without my kit

70 inch+ depending on aspect ratio projector and screen. Denon cinema amp with full DTS EX and Dolby Digital ES Kef front and centre speakers maundaunt short surround and mission passive surround all finished off with a 200 watt yamaha sub woofer that shakes the room plenty ;)

If your ever anywhere near pop in have a demo :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's a GIRLS setup. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If ya say so lol lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield. I thought it was V. good if a bit vomit inducing with some of the fast moving camera stuff. 8.5 out of 10 for me.

Sadly the missus hated it and as I result I'm getting dragged to some god-awful chipmunk movie to make it up to her.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

AVP:2 very good film, nobody was safe, I know a pregnant woman who will not have her bay in hospital now. (I wonder why :) )

Cloverfield another very good film, excep I left the cinema and threw up.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

epic movie


i almost slit my wrists :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Meet the Spartans, similar to epic movie 1/10 - absoloue rubbish, i didn't laugh once.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched AVP:2 the other night, really didn't enjoy it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Run Fatboy Run - very funny
Bee Movie - Very very funny

Both on plane on way back from India today!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Cloverfield at the flix yesterday and thought the way it was shot was excellent. It takes time for the action to start, but it was well worth the wait.

it might help if you sit as far back from the screen as you can due to the shaky camera.

i'd give it 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I liked it 7.5/10

Rambo 4 best of the bunch easily 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Atonement - YAWN!!!!!

Feck all out of ten.

Period drama = Hollywood lovvies in a twist. Dire.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Meh, that's nothing.. Watched Cloverfield at The Empire Leicester square..

50 ft (at least) screen. Comfortable reclining seats, and a THX designed , 60 JBL speaker (I think) sound system..

:D

As for the film, thought it was excellent, even the fact it was shot on a hand held camera (a techniques that I think is slightly irritating, and overused by Hollywod) added to the tension.

The only thing that detracted from the experience was the soundtrack. While it was extremely impressive, but the video would have been shot on either a handheld DV camcorder, or a Handheld HDV camcorder. None of these (to my knowledge) capture a full surround soundtrack, so, to complete the image, it should really have been stereo.

Planet Terror not bad 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield, sorry, I'm one of the 'hate it's' in the love / hate debate :shrug:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

National treasure: Book of Secrets. A little boring and seemed to go on far too long. 4/10

I actually fell asleep at one point, however that may have been due to the hangover from sat night, lol.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield. While I enjoyed it I also found it frustrating that whenever something significant happened..the camera would be turned away from the action.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The thought of paying so much to watch a film at the EMpire would in itself detract from the enjoyment of the film for me. How much is it nowadays Stuart?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

£13, but the experience is (IMO) worth it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Have they redesigned it recently? - last time I went there was 7 maybe 8 years ago, to see 'Shakespeare In Love' (don't ask..) and I thought the seating layouts were rubbish, there wasn't enough height difference between the levels, so had someone's head stuck right in the middle of it - AND - I had to listen to the girl I had taken to it see it complain about having someones head stuck in the middle of it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Fell asleep during AVP:2 & Cloverfield so that says what I thought of them :shocked:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

just seen the new rambo , it all blood n guts:tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

They usually moan, but never complain..... ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rude! :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Been to see Jumper earlier. I'd say it's worth a 6 out of 10.

Everything in it is good (especially Rachel Bilson :naughty:) apart from a couple of things. 1 minor, 1 not so minor.

The minor point is the fights get confusing, with the characters "jumping" all over the screen (and in one fight, apparently randomly to/from any one of three continents). This makes the fights a little difficult (but certainly not impossible) to follow.

The more major point, for me, is Haydn Christenson. I thought he had pretty much proved he can't act in Star Wars.. The director of this apparently thought he could. With a better lead actor, I'd be tempted to say this film was worth an 8.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i love movies but never got round to watching rambo.
so today i watched 1-2-3.

and i have to say in number 3 when he heals his wound using the gun powder then sets his insides on fire to stop the bleading was awesome :)
roll on rambo 4 :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sebastiane - 1/10

It's basically really bad 70s gay soft-core porn. One or two :shocked: moments though - nearly dropped my cuppa when an erection bobbed into view. Not entirely certain that you can show such things on television, even if it is a Channel 4 offshoot.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

National Treasure: Book of Secrets 9/10
Full of action, and humour. Really good plot and great charactor interaction.
Even better than the first.
Though Nicolas Cage is looking guant..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Funnily enough, National Treasure: We'd really like a franchise (ie the first one).

Missed this at the flix and dvd release - borrowed off a mate. What a load of sub-Indy kak. 2D characters, silly plot. Roll on Crystal Skull.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rambo gore, I mean four. ;) It's totally awsome! Blood n guts, beheadings and rape, exploding bodies, kids being killed infront of your very eyes!! Torture and disembowelment! Lovely lovely lovely.

The movie is just 93 minutes long but has 236 killings. That is 2.59 every 60 seconds. :)

THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT!!!!!!!!! :erm::sniper:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What a sick society we have become.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Has anyone seen Rambo or any other film in the Vue Cinema in Leicester Square. Is the Premier screen any good? Its the only cinema showing Rambo in Leicester Square (I was hoping it to be showing in the Empire) so just wondering what that partcular cinema is like.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cloverfield - finally!

7/10 - the effects are awesome especially from when they're in the helicopter looking down at the creature. What spoiled it for me was that there was no attempt at an explanation for what is was, where it came from or why it was doing what it did, which kind of made the whole film pointless.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Apparently it is sort of explained, but only if you read up on all the viral advertising, ARG rubbish etc.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jumper - 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's all just rumours though - we don;t know anything for certain, although a sequel is in the making.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I totally agree.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Anyone know why Odeon wont show the new Rambo film?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Commercial reasons so they say.

8 out of 10 generally, 0 out of 10 for what happens in the hospital. I'm not going to spoil it but those who've seen it will understand.

Flood


Clichéd-cheese/10


A massive storm causes a huge surge of water to FLOOD THE THAMES BARRIER, AND WIPE OUT LONDON! [the East & South East is also wasted, but who cares, as they are NOT LONDON!).


Only Robert Carlyle's Mockney-Marine-Engineer / all-round hero can save the day, along with his Canadian-wife-you're-sure-you've-seen-somewhere-else, plus his mad old Professor Dad.

Also starring...

Joanne Whalley as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner

Nigel Planer as The Man From The Met Office Who Gets It Horribly Wrong

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Recently watched [Rec] a 2007 Spanish (English subbed) Horror movie, for those who havn't seen it i'd def give it a shot :D Hmm as for rating i would say 8/10 :tu: which is pretty damned good in my standards, i've watched so many horror flicks now most just seem a bore :dozey: but really check that out sometime!

I tend to have a preference to foreign movies lately, seem to have a slightly different approach from your typical western movies, a great foreign movie i'd def recommend other than [Rec] is Nochnoy dozor (Russin Title) or Night Watch for us English speakin' folk :D it's a 2004 Action / Fantasy / Horror / Thriller i really enjoyed :) it's English subbed too and well worth a watch! :D

~ Kitty x

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Then you wanna catch Dnevnoy dozor or Daywatch which is the second in a trilogy and eventually there will be Twilight watch thats not been made yet :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Seen it! Brill movie too :D Lol is there really "Twilight Watch" in the making? That'd be excellent, gonna look it up now! :tu:
~ Kitty x

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418205/ next year

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Omg :eeek: that's gonna be awesome! thanks for the linky :D
Hopefully being filmed in English "Filmed in English, since it is co-financed by Fox, whereas the first two parts of the trilogy were made in Russian." won't take anything away and still have most of the same actors / style as the previous two :D
Woohoo! :hyper:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rise of the foot soldier.
Gritty British gangster movie, superb acting, makes Essex boys look like a walk in the park. Although they are both based around the same true story of the triple murder in Dec 1995 this is by far more factual. What makes this a bigger and better film is the portrayal of the main characters and the intro\bio of Carlton Leech, how he rose through the ranks from ICF to become a not so stupid villain\hard case.
Its rough, its tough and with a little bit of artistic license its real.
Gets a big fist in yer face 10\10 from me.

Subway (1985, France)
Directed by: Luc Besson
Principle Actors: Christopher Lambert, Isabelle Adjani (pretty or what!)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090095/

We went to see this at the cinema when it first came out and loved it. I recently bought it on DVD and didn't! It could be something to do with the dubbing - first time we saw it in French with subtitles. Something has definately been lost in translation (Iroquoi - Quoi?) and the occasional American accent grates somewhat. There's some great gags - like the roller skates with headlights - but the whole thing just seems interminably slow. I'd remembered the outline of the plot - which is pretty simple - but, appart from the odd one or two, most of the scenes had been erased from my mind. Unlike...

Diva (1981, France)
Director: Jean-Jaques Beineix
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082269/
We only saw it once some 27 years ago but I could remember so much detail. This is a beautiful film with lots of plot and fantastic photography. I wish we had a projector so I could see it on a large screen again. It's in French with subtitles so if, like me, your French is pretty rusty then you have to be quick at reading. But then this film is more about image than dialogue. A bit dated now maybe but definately recommended.

Son of Rambow - 8/10

A really fun film and a great soundtrack as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I think it was the terrible acting that brought it down, because, really the storyline was pretty good...and it really got going about half way through imo.

5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Robert Zemeckis' all-CGI action epic about the mighty Cockney monster-slayer, Beowulf.

Apparently not too accurate an adaptation of the poem, but seeing as I still have never read it I didn't really care...

"I'VE COME TO KILL YORE MONSTA!"

[Shine ya boots, Grendel? Apples & Pears?]

Despite the apparently unfaithful adaptation, & the strange mixture of accents, this is a really good movie IMO. Great effects, great action, some interesting characters. Oh, & Grendel's Mum ;) ...

Definitely recommended.

Deathproof 2/10 i found this rather boring after a while and too much swearing just for the sake of it.

Copland (stallone) was ok 5/10 hardly award winning but enough action to satisfy.

Tears of the sun 4/10, i'm not sure what it was, i just didnt like this film.

Payback (directors cut) 8/10 loved it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jumper
Could have been a much better film if we had been given a little more insight into how "jumpers" get their gift and the fight scene's were a little less eclectic. Hayden Christensen seemed to have taken a couple of acting lessons since RotS but you would never have guessed it. Samual L Jackson was his usual credible self and gave the film a lift.
5\10

Cloverfield
Finally got round to watching it without falling asleep.
What else is there to say about this film, made for $25mil, grossed $40mil odd in its opening weekend, lots of hype, good FX and Cloverfield2 looks as though it could and should be on the cards.

7.5\10

I think the last film Jennifer Connelly was in that was any good was Blood Diamond (8/10) likewise with Leonardo DeCaprio (he actually acts in the movie! I know, I was shocked too!)
Before that, it was Labyrinth (though she did look good in the Rocketeer, and that other film where she got her top off...)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

May have been a bit slow in places and slightly predictable in places (were all script writers at heart) but its a film worth more than 1 Mr LM.

This is definitely a keeper!
