Get Him To The Greek - 8/10.

V. funny, and P. Diddy has some great lines.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Agreed, saw it on Saturday and it was so funny :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Been sitting here watching a film on Horror+1 called Exorcism: The possession of Gail Bowers.

If there was ever a gong given for the crappiest B- movie for poor acting, direction, production, special effects, dialouge etc then this would win hands down. Never have I had to endured a film that is as dire as this, well not endure because its one of those films thats soooooo bad that you need to keep on watching just to see if it CAN get any worse. Even the gratuitous sex scene's are tardy, poorly acted and shot, T&A there may be, porn it aint, not even semi or soft which i'm sure is where some of its funding came from to get a movie like this off the ground. But then maybe some kid, his mum and a few fans of Blue Peter got together to make this.

It sometime beggars belief that films like this EVER get the funding to get beyond someones random thought whilst sitting on the throne on a sunday morning after a heavy night out on the beer and a very hot curry. The only redeeming feature of this film I guess is the end titles which I have yet to see (and wont) because the off button is going to be accessed right about NOW.............

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sorry that's just no true, Autumn (with Dexter Fletcher) would win.
I managed 3 minutes before I had to turn off.
Such a shame as I really liked the book.

Definitely a score of -47.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shrek Forever After - 7/10.

After Shrek 3 it was nice to see the improvement.

---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 19:21 ----------

Finally got to see Avatar last night - brilliant film. 9/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Twilight eclispse 9/10 much much much better than new moon!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Predators - 8/10.

Forget P2, AvP, AvP2 - this is the sequel we've been waiting for (imho).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Twilight Eclipse 7 : 10 good enough
Repo Men 7.5 : 10 liked this and it has a really good ending
Date Night 8 : 10 Steve Carrel very good film

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Predators 8/10 Fantastic film and a decent sequel to the Arnie original.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Definitely - really racks up the tension at times....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That solves the issue of what film to see at the weekend then :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Book of Eli

6.5/10

Good, & Denzel Washington has some great fight scenes, but it's not something I'd be fussed about watching again.



Sherlock Holmes (RDJ version)

7.5/10

Great stuff. Much better than I expected.



Unforgiven

9.5/10

Classic. Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman = legends. Also an appearance by the late, great Richard Harris (the original Dumbledore).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just got round to watching Tropic Thunder and well worth the wait. Loved it 9/10.

Favourite bits were when Tom Cruise's hip-hop dance and the Apocalypse Now pastiche.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

toy story 2 today on BBC 1 10/10 even better then i remembered not seen it in years and years

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception 8/10 - really enjoyed it

Predators 6/10 - was ok

Twilight: Eclipse - 7/10 better than the first 2

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Dirty Harry 9/10 Classic Clint Eastwood movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace

7/10

Good: Darth Maul, Lightsaber duels, space battles, Palpatine's rise.

Bad: Jar Jar, Midichlorians, Anakin.



Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

8/10

Definite improvement on TPM. Less Jar Jar; even more lightsabre duels; clone troopers; more of Palpatine's scheming; Mace Windu (I can so imagine SLJ saying "Jedi Lightsabre. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every <badperson> in the room, accept no substitutes."); Christopher Lee;... and of course Yoda being a bad-ass.

Bit too much "Padme, I love you, wah wah wah", but I suppose it was necessary though.



Tomorrow: Episodes III and IV.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Magnum Force 9/10 Another Classic Clint Eastwood movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Classic.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Daybreakers - 5/10.

Starts off with a neat concept (most humans are now vampires, and shows the changes that society has to implement due to not being able to go out during daylight), and then went a bit meh.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Twilight yesterday and sorry, I found it very boring, too slow and absolutely no plot. The story could have been told in a half hour children's show.

I will give it 4/10 though, because I enjoyed the cinematography.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Ghost Writer ( known as The Ghost in the UK) well this is a tough one to score. Its a drama there is very little action there is next to no bare skin ( besides Ewan McGregor who bares his backside for the girls I add no interest to me ) but its a very good story film. It holds your interest and it has some good twists and turns I have to give it a 7

if you want action and thrills you wont like this film. If you want an intelligent movie then you may well

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Hmm. 8.5/10. I'd forgotten how much I actually enjoy this one.

Great battle scenes, great lightsabre duels, Yoda kicking ass, rise of Palpatine & Vader, fall of the Republic...The best of the prequels IMO.

And, of course, it gave us...

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/07/21.jpg


Didn't manage to watch Ep. IV as well in the end, so my aim for Tuesday is to watch the entire Original Star Wars Trilogy all in one day [Hah, isn't my use of my annual leave productive :D]

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Back in the 80s I went to the Coventry Odeon and watched all 3 in one sitting. They did give you a break in between lol

Did the same at the old ABC with Superman 1 2 and 3 lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've watched all three in one day before, but not since my school days (what better way to spend GCSE or A Level revision time :erm: :D ).

I'm off all of this week... After finishing the SW saga, I plan to watch all three LOTR movies... :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

extended editions I hope ? lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

But of course :)

I've only ever seen the theatrical cuts at the cinema.

Extended = Definitive.

(which is why I still have the DVDs & haven't moved to the BDs yet)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've not seen all of the LOTR movies, I've seen the first 2, and about an hour of the third one. I once watched all of the Star Wars movies over a day or 2, that was fun. I watched the originals first.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jnr version) I really enjoyed it :) 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Toy Story 3 - 9/10.

Excellent fun, and quite emotional at points.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alone in the dark II, pretty pants really 3/10

---------- Post added at 11:09 ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 ----------

Have you read or listened to any books from the SW extended universe? There are some cracking books that should be made into films.

The latest books are the "Fate of the Jedi" series but I suppose book talk is for another thread :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yup, I used to have a whole load of the SW Expanded Universe novels, starting with Timothy Zahn's "Thrawn Trilogy" / "Empire Trilogy" (which kickstarted the SW novel/EU resurgence).

Despite all the ones which came afterwards, I still think Zahn's were by far the best (although Kevin J Anderson's "Jedi Academy Trilogy" was very good). The X-Wing series of novels was very good too, and there were some other good ones, but there were also a lot of stinkers (such as, IIRC & IMO, "The Crystal Star" & "Children of the Jedi").

I got bored with the EU at some point during the "New Jedi Order" (the books with the "Yuuzhan Vong") & just stopped reading them...


__________________________________________________ ______________

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

The original classic. 10/10.



Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

One of those rare sequels that’s at least on a par with the original. 10/10



Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Weakest of the three, but still great. Battle of Endor & Luke vs. Vader = Epic. 9/10



Those scores are all ignoring the “Special Edition� aspect of the Originals, although that’s obviously what I watched, given that you can’t actually get a decent quality version of the Originals on DVD.


I love the improved SFX of the SEs, especially the way the battles have more ships, and the Alderaan & Death Star explosions no longer look crap (Praxis Effect FTW), but…

ANH

Han & Greedo: WRONG! OK, better on the DVD release than the original version of the SE, but still WRONG.

Jabba: WRONG! It just looks really bloody stupid due to Han walking on Jabba’s tail. Wouldn’t be too bad, if it wasn’t for that.


ROTJ

Additional muppet song and dance at Jabba’s Palace: WRONG! Looks and feels stupid and out of place. Utterly unnecessary.

Galactic celebrations at the end: WRONG! WTF? So as soon as the Emperor is killed and the Death Star II is destroyed there is instant celebration across the galaxy, complete with fireworks? Get stuffed.

Anakin’s Force Ghost being that of Young Anakin (Hayden Christensen) rather than that of Old Anakin (Sebastian Shaw): WRONG! Alec Guinness’ Obi-Wan Force Ghost wasn’t replaced with Ewan McGregor, so why was Shaw replaced with Christensen? Stupid, stupid, stupid. Was he Young Anakin when he died? No! Was he Young Anakin when he redeemed himself and turned away from the Dark Side? No!

Oh, George, why did you mess with them?… :(

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Awesome. 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Toy Story 3 10/10 IMO, was sad in parts of the movie, but gave it that score as im also a big fan

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

As long as he left in the Stormtrooper smacking his head in Ep4 and Han groping a feel of Leia in EP6 then I'm happy :D

Just spent last weekend watching the LOTR extended edition trilogy and then went onto the Bourne trilogy

10/10 all 6 films :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception 10/10 stunning.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Im taking my dad to see that hopefully next week :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

9.5/10

Awesome. Battle of the Hornburg = EPIC.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

While I do rate the LOTR films very highly, I am disappointed at how much had to be left out of the books. Still I can see why it had to be done.

I look forward to the Hobbit film :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception 9.99(recurring)/10 Great film, and unusually one where you'll need your brain engaged.:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

10/10

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadow shall spring,
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

big shark thing and the rather large octopus, 8/10 for sheer comedy value (dont pay for this film,ever)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

LOL. I want to see that other one, with the other 80s pop-star Tiffany...Mega Piranha?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I actually quite enjoyed it but when I was much younger I use to love old godzilla movies etc so it was a bit a of a case of blast from the past for me :) I'll have a look for mega piranha!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ahhh Megashark vs giant octopus - I thought it was great :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

At long last managed to see District 9. I thought it was excellent, much better than I thought it would be.

A Good 9 from me. Hopefully there'll be a District 10 in a couple of years.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes I enjoyed that myself, was so surprising and you could really see that happening no matter which country they landed in.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

inception - 10/10... a definite buy when that comes out on BR. awesome. finally a film with some substance to it instead of trying to sell on the basis of explosions and totty (though I don't mind the latter!!!). not had a thinky film for some time imo.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception 10/10 from me and the missus as well, as post above looking forward to seeing it again, on BD, and agree nice to have a thinking action film :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

it was way better than I was expecting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (7/10)

The film follows three social outcasts (two nerds and a cynic) as they attempt to navigate a time travel conundrum in the middle of a British pub. Faris plays a girl from the future who sets the adventure in motion.

Currently available via iPlayer.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Tekken . Most of ya will most likely hate it but I loved it 8 : 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception

10/10. Awesome. I want to see it again.


Green Zone

8/10. I enjoyed this much more than The Hurt Locker. Can't beat Generation Kill, though...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

V For Vendetta. Awesome! Loved it. One of my top 10 films.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"Splice" A load of cock!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The concept sounded good, so I take it that it is bad.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Totally agree with that. It's not one of those films that it's a 'so bad it's good' type, like 'The Happening' where that is soo bad, probably the worse thing I've ever seen but it ends up great (for all the wrong reasons) and it's enjoyable.

But Splice... it's just so wrong on so many levels.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched the Big Lobowski last night. Kept me up till 1am, and I was in hysterics throughout. It would be hard to score this anything less than a 10 out of 10 for me. Loved it. Cannot believe I hadn't seen it earlier.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the simpsons movie well good car't stop whatching it

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knowing, slightly disappointing great special effects but spoiled a great premise with a story line what became to obvious. 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception - absolutely bloody marvellous.

10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Toy Story 3

10/10.


Bloody brilliant.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've just started watching Kick Ass..... This film rocks!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Clash of the Titans (2010) - meh!

3/10 - very slow, and even the action sequences were a bit meh.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought it was about as realistic as the original but more stilted, and was I glad I never went to see it on the cinema.:erm:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finished watching Kick Ass .... 11/10!!!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Step up 3d, unfortunately.

1/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

And you were actually surprised it was that bad, it is a dance movie.;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The missus and I just saw Toy Story 3 in 3D and loved it. Like Up, I don't think 3d is essential, but I think you're missing out if you don't see it in 3d.

I'd imagine the short beforehand would be pretty lifeless and flat in 2d? It certainly wasn't the funniest of the pre films shorts, but visually was outstanding.

As for Toy Story 3, I think it's the best of the 3 (we watched 1 and 2 again last couple of weeks), as as well as being extremely funny, is very exciting as well :) 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

just watched 'Paranormal Activity' courtesy of Lovefilm!

4 maybe 5/10

it was ok. watchable, but not scary like it was made out to be. credit due to the fact it was made on a really low budget, but to be fair, it really could have been made by a performing arts college class. it's kind of hard to see where the budget went, other than marketing and editing software tbh.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shrek: Forever After 3D

7/10. Not as good as the first three, to be honest and the 3D wasn't that great.

I am going off the concept of 3D, to be honest. It cost me nine pounds extra for the three of us and then they had the audacity to charge me another three pounds for the "hire" of the glasses, can you believe. As if you had the choice of watching the movie without them. :( :geez:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Thomas Crown Affair (Brosnan/Russo remake from 1999)

Not watched it in years. Excellent. I prefer this one to the original.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

12 rounds was brill 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Knight and Day 9/10 very well made and very funny with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz well worth going to see.:)

I took SWMBO who was not really looking forward to this as she expected another gung ho movie and she really enjoyed to the laugh out loud extent.:p:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just finished watching The Bad Lieutenant (Nicolas Cage & Eva Mendez). I thought its a very good movie, easy to follow, Nic Cage was pretty good in it too. 7.5 out of 10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:clap:

Love it since I first saw it in '99.. Unlike the first one where the main character isn't taking any risks in this one he's taking all the risks :) Must drag out the DVD and watch it again tonight :D

---------- Post added at 10:10 ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 ----------

Salt

Good fast action film with a few twists, only though 90 minutes and I saw it more as a series pilot as the plot is left open in that way at the end

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A Team 9/10

Stupidly brilliant over the top nonsense, missus and I loved it :)

although the end bit after the credits, seemed to be cut short as if the projectionist stopped the reel before it had properly finished

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

phew, didn`t miss anything:
http://whatsafterthecredits.com/inde...he_%282010%29*


http://whatsafterthecredits.com/index.php

could be a useful site to bookmark, although we nearly always stay till end of credits, just in case.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Expendables - 7/10.

One or two explosions, with the occasional scuffle - good fun; it looked as if Sly is handing over the Action Hero mantle to Jason Statham (imho).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

see no evil 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Expendables 10/10 IMO, though I have to say Sly is getting on a bit

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The A Team


The "A" clearly stands for AWESOME :D

Even Mrs D liked it.

Great action & comedy all the way through.

Some nice little references too, e.g.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Overall I liked the A Team - just didnt like how BA and Hannibal met each other. Come on, running across Mexico, stands in front of the A Team van. That was a bit too much. However apart from that it was good. 7.5 out of 10.

Currently watching the Green Zone. So far so good. Have a half hour left.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I liked that...After all, there's a plan in everything! :D


I really enjoyed Green Zone. I preferred it to The Hurt Locker.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Salt 8/10 with Angelina Jolie very well made if a little OTT and I will be surprised if a sequel is not made as she is a female Jason Bourne.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Toy Story 3: 9/10. An excellent film that has some real emotional moments.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I agree, there's certainly going to be a sequel. I loved every minute of it. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

yeah I enjoyed it a lot also

Watched Diary of a wimpy kid today thought it was bilge

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Is Diary of a Wimpy Kid suitable for a bunch of 5 year olds?

Finished watching Green Zone yesterday - awesome film. 9 out of 10.

Next on my viewing list is Unthinkable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

yes it is :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - 10/10

Stupidly good although it helps if you have a love of late 80's/early 90's video games.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Expendables 7/10

Good dumb action film, but preferred the A-Team. Expendables seemed a bit too much like an excuse to link together some cool action sequences with action heroes.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

In Bruges - excellent film, not predictable at all.

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Expendables gotta give it a 9 exellent brain in neutral action flick

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'd agree with that.

I really enjoyed it, & it was great seeing Stallone, Arnie, & Willis in the same scene... but I think The A Team is a better brainless-action-movie.

Pity that JCVD & Seagal weren't in it too, instead of whoever those wrestlers were.

It was a great flashback to 80s action though.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I may well review my review after watching A Team then will make the effort and view it tomorrow :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shutter Island 10/10

Some people say they hated the ending, I loved it great twist, and although I kind of guessed who inmate 67 was, the way it was revealed made it more shocking and feisty

The last words by Leo were very strong and deep

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Marmaduke - 10/10 IMO possibly the funniest movie I have seen this year so far

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Totally agree, great film for those who want brain dead violence..

Matt did you not notice though that the Stallone/Arnie scenes were faked as you never saw them side by side and when you did see them next to each other one was always in silhouette.. They were probably never in the same studio together

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

10/10 for a film that got 2.6 on imdb? (though I don't rely on their scores too much myself).

Dog Pound - (no pun intended)
6/10, even though I enjoyed it as I do like those type of films, I'm annoyed they didn't add or change much from the original film - '****' which was miles better (9/10).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

south park the movie 10/10
