Shaun of the dead

5/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Rented out "Paycheck" on DVD....

6/10


Enjoyable, & an interesting idea, but its a fairly "run of the mill" movie. Nothing amazing.

Compared to other films based on PKD stories....Paycheck is not anywhere near as good as Bladerunner, nor even Minority Report or Total Recall.

It was also a bit of a let-down for a John Woo film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I'd give it 8/10, was interesting, action filled, much better than Total Recall.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Troy - 6 out of 10. Bit dull. Seems to be aimed at females, ie lots of men getting in and out of armour. Dull dialogue. The number of times we are reminded how their names will live on for 1000 years for fighting in this battle, the movie won't even be remembered next year. Too much of Achilles (Pitt) brooding.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hellboy

( :erm: , seen courtesy of a friend's dodgy DVD....I'd happily give my money to the studio/distributor to see it, but as it isn't out in the cinema in the UK, nor even out on DVD in the US, there was no other way..crap excuse I admit....but I will buy the DVD when it comes out in Region1)


Anyway.....****ing brilliant!!!!!!!!! 9/10 :D :D


Great film. Good cast (especially Ron Pearlman...he is perfect as Hellboy), good story, great action, great FX, great fun.

Guillermo del Toro has again shown how talented a director & screenwriter he is.

I don't understand why it's out in the UK so bloody late though! Not in the cinema here 'till September or thereabouts.

I've pre-ordered the Region 1 DVD from DVDBoxofice.com (due out July) - this is definitely, IMO, a "must-have" (well, for people who enjoy this kind of film ;) )...I'll probably also end up getting the R1 3 disc extended edition (due out a few months after the normal version)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Matchstick Men, very good film - wont tell you nuffin about it though as pretty much anything will give the game away.

8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Austin Powers 2, not as good the second time around but still give it 6 \ 10 :D for its smut content alone ;) :disturbd:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

We watched Bend it like Beckham again on DVD at the w/e. It's the story of two girls, Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, and their local girls' football team. It's very funny and Juliet Stevenson has some fantastic lines. It's a wonderful portrayal of multi-cultural London. But really, the film is about prejudices - from all quarters - and some of them are most painful. 'Dad's' speach about him coming over from India and then the gorras wouldn't let him play cricket, gets me in tears every time.

Definately recommended - I would almost say compulsory viewing!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I own this one on DVD - definitely worth it. :tu:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Had a bit of a film-fest this weekend (and still found time to watch the FA Cup Final and the Grand Prix!)

Got three films from the video shop:

SWAT - enjoyable potboiler if completely predictable. Colin Farrell doing his thing and Samuel L being Samuel L - nothing wrong with that! 7 / 10.

Stuck on You - quite funny in places, but not up to the Farrelly Brothers usual standard. The funny bits ARE very funny though. 6 / 10/

Paycheck - though this was really good! I know that Ben Affleck has his knockers (insert gag here ;) ), but I thought he was very convincing, and Uma Thurman was good as well (especially considering that, in one review, it said that she did nothing but hover in the background). Oh, and it's good to see that John Woo can get his dove into every single film he makes! 8/10

We also went to the pictures and saw Troy - absolutely fantastic. Ignoring the fact that most of us already know the story, Wolfgang Peterson has really set it up well and the fight scenes are excellent. At just over two-and-a-halfs hours long, it's a bit of a bum-number, but I'd definitely go and see it again. 10 / 10


Roll on The Day After Tomorrow!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I honestly thought it was slow. And I had a good idea what was going to happen quite early on. Having said that, I'm not a big fan of Nick Cage but I thought he played his part well.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw the Last Samuri on DVD - V.Good :tu: :tu: :tu: 9/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

i saw that at the cinema, absolutely fantastic movie i'd go with ur rating of it too

just watch "paycheck" on DVD.... slow to begin with but not bad, the ending was a bit poor though i give it 7/10 and ben affleck 9/10 ;)

also watched "daredevil" last night, pretty good 8/10 (seems to be a bit of a ben theme doesnt there :erm: )

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The Day After Tomorrow 8/10 although the plot mite lack a bit but it was good, hopefully the dvd has loads of extras cos then ill prob get it on dvd! :D

(8/10 mainly due to amazing special effects!)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

i think its good we all have different opinions on films - i wouldnt of given any of the last 6 listed a high mark 5.10 if they are lucky.

tdat looks fancy thats where it ends


anyway last film i saw was last weekend
50 first dates - could of been better but harmless 6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

i think we watched different films :) and this maybe why its taking its time to come out here - the movie for me anyway was full of dry humor and some corney lines - special fx are very good but the animatronix is pretty naff -its entertaining in its simpleness but i could of lived without watching it. another super hero movie that turned out naff :( i was dispaointed slighty especially considering the hype just like with troy - anyway :) 6/10 as it was kinda "fun"

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched shrek 2, not as good as the first but still funny in parts..... 6\10 :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban (sp?) [cinema]

Hmm, 8/10


Much better than the 1st two. Which is to be expected, as the source is a hell of a lot better than theirs.

Well made & good fun.

Bubba Ho-Tep [DVD]

7/10

A bit of a slow start, but very good, & very...different.

Bruce Campbell is excellent, as always. The guy who played JFK was quite good too.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

me and my fella watched "last samari" yesterday (i saw it at the cinema but he hadn't) i give it 9/10 or 9+1/2 /10 fab film, didnt think i would enjoy it but really did

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw the Lord of the Rings - Return of the King on DVD. Best of the three IMO, but I also thought it was the best book of the three. 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

just seen master and commander on DVD - boring boring BORING!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw that recently too - thought it was worth a watch.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Watched that the other night, certainly was the best of the trilogy.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

recent ones watched - van helsing (pirate), LOTR : return of the king
oldie - Lethal Weapon 4 (6 years old but wicked!)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

took my little bro to see the third harry potter today..... enjoyed it, but must admit didn't think it was as good as the others 7/10
although gary oldman was absolutely fantastic

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just seen the new HP movie. (Hint for adults. If you want to see the movie without the trouble of having to escort a kid, or be around them, go at 23:10 on a saturday night. There were about 20 people in the cinema of 400 seats, and all were 23 or older)

It was a really poor adaption of the book. It could have done with being about 30 mins longer and staying true to the book a bit. I'm suprised you like Gary Oldman in it Bex, I didn't think he did that good a job. Lupin was excellent, especially for an actor i've never seen/heard of before. Also, I think Gambon was a bit too sprightly for 150 year old magician. He could have acted a bit more like Harris, I would have thought. Hogwarts was completely different, have they moved it? The grounds were completely different. Rating for the movie: On its own merit, i'd say 6/10, based on the book, 3/10.

I saw the trailer foe Garfield. That seemed quite fun. I suspect it is one of those movies that has 5 jokes, and they put them all in the trailer, so when you watch it you don't laugh. Might be worth a go though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

CONfidence - on dvd - a good film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

thank you.... i have been arguing the point that the grounds were different since we were actually in the film and my bro says it wasnt...shows how much attention he paid.... i dont remember hagrid's being that far away from the school, nor being down the bottom of a hill, nor having mountains behind him, and the forest just didn't look scary anymore.
i agree with you on the new dumbledore, it was almost like having a whole new headmaster.... he doesnt have the same presence as the old one.
and i also agree with you on being a poor adaptation, another thing i argued to death with my brother over.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Last Samurai 12/10 great film
can watch it over and over again now bex has cd :rofl:
:idea: will give bex a list of films I like,then she can buy them :Yikes:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hmm,
Yeah the film was quite good, but i had issue with the Yanks portraying the Last Samurai as an American.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

well they do own the world :Yikes:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I am currently watching an excellent film. See if you can guess it from the following quote:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I'm sure they said something which sounded a bit like that in the Long Good Friday? Don't remember exactly what they said though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Yep! Well done

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

And of course, I did NOT use google at all.......*





*an entire nation coughs the word 'bullsh1t'....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

:nono:

it was a good film defo :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Still a classic. 9/10 :D

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matthew.dodd/khan.gif

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I've been enjoying (almost) unlimited FREE dvd rentals for the last month from BLOCKBUSTER and seen loads of films such as SWAT PAYCHECK etc.

latest film is Tears of the Sun which was OK.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

KHHHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

:D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

ooh my first post (hi all)
harry potter 3 last film i watched, last night.
not bad movie the little kids might find it a bit too scary tho, id say over 8's only :)
8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

:welcome: ~$t&lker~ (what a complicated name ;) )

I saw Harry Potter last week and have to say that, while we weren't disappointed, we still feel that the first one's the best - 7/10

We also saw The Day After Tomorrow, which was brilliant - 10/10 and absolutely storming (ahem)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw harry potter last night, seeing it again today.
I'd give it 8/10.
The guy who plays Harry has finally been given some acting lessons (yipee!) although Hermiony and Ron are still far ahead of him.
Hermiony has a mean right hook too!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

that punch was a goodun :shocked::)
i was dissapointed with the day after tomorrow, yes the special effects were excellent but the plot/storyline had something missing for me.i dunno maybe it just dident go the way i wanted/expected it to.
deff worth a looksee tho.
my fave film this year though was the butterfly effect excellent movie 10/10, if u havent seen it do.
imdb

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I watched Save the Last Dance on channel 4 last night.... cracking film. one of my favourties.

10/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw Barry Trotter the other day. I thought is was pretty good - much preferred it to the first two. 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

i agree MB fantastic film :D

and :welcome: person with the difficult name ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just got back from seeing "The Day After Tomorrow"

9/10


OK, the science is...exagerated...heh....but it's great fun. :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Totally agree but Star Trek IV an absolute classic 10/10 :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ah, another good one.

I watched ST:III, IV, & VI (not V! it sucks!) over the last few days, after watching II (not seen any in ages, & decided to work my way through the - good - ST movies).

III was OK, not great. Just watched it as it's needed to link II & IV.

IV was great. Different, but fun.

VI...I think this is my joint fave, along with II. Classic. Christopher Plummer's Shakespeare quoting Klingon general is especially good.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Well, having watched Jurassic Park III last night, I'd rate it as better than Jurassic Park II but not as good as the original Jurassic Park (once you'd got over the longuers of the first half hour or so).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Starship Troopers 2 - um - er - do I HAVE to actually give points?

Well - if i do - then it's a 1/10

If I'm allowed - then 0/10

At least I have a nice new shiny coaster (a red one too)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I've heard negative opinions of it, but....Is it really that bad?!

I nearly bought it, as I love the first one. Glad I didn't, now.

It didn't even have the same cast, did it? Different director too I think, rather than Verhoeven.

If only they had made a sequel properly.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

It does have a couple of interesting ideas.

Rent it ;)

Different cast (set 5yrs after the end of the first film) and a different director too (the director is the special effects bloke that did the first film tho - so the bugs look the same)


Definately - I think the only sequel I really liked more than the first one was aliens.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ah, Aliens..... :D


Now that is a perfect sequel.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Yes - in fact I think I'll put in on now and imagine I never saw the other one at all :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I watched 50 first dates the other day... not my kind of film at all, but the mrs wanted to see it... so i obliged.

I was pleasantly surprised! :tu: 9/10

MB

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The sequel???

If only they'd made the damn first one properly!!

"Let's send a bunch of troops down to a hostile planet with no air support or armour or heavy weapons backup..."

"Oh look, someone's just done a flash manoeuvre with a space ship that could have damaged the ship and the station, phew, we're so glad she got away with it that we're not going to rip her a new a$$hole..."

"Hey, we're highly trained soldiers walking down a narrow valley with no scouts out, nobody on the high ground and, oh, look, falling rocks, let's not worry about them..."

etc etc etc :banghead:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Yes - and lets miss out - capsules - skinnies and (powerd armour) :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I enjoy stupid films :shrug: ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

"Dude, where's my car?" was as stupid as they come, but bloody brilliant, I thought. It is one of those movies that you would love for its abstract originality, or hate for being so dumb.

I was going to say a bit about the sequel, but anyone know what the deal with that is? Details are very sketchy. All say it is coming out in 2004, one even said US date is in July. But not many sites mention it, and IMDB isn't even carrying it (even though it carries movies in production for the next 3 years). Hmmm/. If anyone is interested, it is called: "Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?"

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hmmm, Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m guessing that you didnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t exactly enjoy Starship Troopers then? :p:

We watched †˜From Hellâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ on Sky last night †“ not bad, with a few interesting ideas on the Jack the Ripper story, and Johnny Depp doing his now famous stoned Englishman act. I think it was worth a 7 / 10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Whatever gave you that idea?! ;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The Core (DVD)

Maybe a 7 out of 10.


Silly, but enjoyable, disaster movie. Kind of like Armageddon, but inside the Earth instead of in outer space.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Do ya want some unobtanium :) - well do ya :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw Harry Potter today. Give it 9/10. I think that it's the best out of 3.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched Bad Santa. Reasonably good but not really that funny. It did have a couple of scenes that raised more than a chuckle but not consistently funny. I'd give it 6/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

LOL. I'll take one of those laser/sonic drill things too :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

"Conspiracy" (DVD)

9/10

Fact-based drama (which I think was on BBC2 a few months ago), about the 1942 Wannsee Conference - the meeting at which SD head Heydrich (Kenneth Branagh), his assistant Adolf Eichmann (Stanley Tucci), & a dozen or so other Nazis decided on the course of action which become known as the Holocaust :mad:

Gripping. Powerful. Chilling. Depressing.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Mystic River on DVD. Absolutely brilliant film. 10/10. Recommended:tu:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

"The day after tomorow" Very good movie, worth watching. 9/10 (given it 9 because the ending wasn't so good)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Mystic River on DVD - over-rated movie.

worked out who the killer was very early into the film.

sean pean is embarrassing as he over acts and trys to be De Nero.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Have to disagree with you completely.

I had a very good idea who the killer was about 2/3 way through the film, but it still didn't impact on how good the film was. And I don't think Sean Penn over-acted. Also, Tim Robbins was brilliant.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I can't believe all the hype they advertise with this movie, 'Clint's best film so far' etc, it is simply a boring film with a very slow storyline. The same can be said for 21 grams in which Sean Penn won the oscar. It was another slow paced movie.

In my opinion, Johnny Depp should've won the oscar.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

If anyone's interested in watching a film with a good story then take a look at Seabiscuit. A very enjoyable film, 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Chronicles of Riddick - 10/10

Better than any other movie this summer.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I think you're either going to like these types of films of hate them. I like some stuff which is slower, and I like Mystic River. Each to his own I guess.

Although I'd give Mystic River 10/10, I don't think it's Clint Eastwoods best film either. I think that title should go to Unforgiven.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Classic film :tu:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Unforgiven is good but Clint has directed so many good films. However, the choice of best Clint film is easy. It has to be The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, the best western ever made.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Dawn of the Dead (remake)

Much better than I expected. A decent & well made horror film. The speedy zombies were a nice change to the original classic version of Dawn (I assume that whoever made this had been watching 28 Days Later).

8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just two words - Vin Diesel :erm:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

- TROY -


Probably one of my favourite movies of the year. One I will be buying on DVD for sure.
There is just something happening every second with different things round every corner.

10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Warnings 1/10

All I can say is OH DEAR!!!!

I'm glad I only borrowed this piece of crap.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just as a heads up for you keen movie watchers, blockbuster online have an excellent deal. Even if you only rent 1 dvd a week, its still a good deal as postage to and from them is free :D £13.99 a month for unlimited dvd rentals is an excellent deal.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I saw Big Fish over the weekend (Ewan McGregor & Albert Finney). It's directed by Tim Burton who's definitely back on form after the nightmare that was Planet of the Apes. Definitely a 10 / 10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I finally saw Master and Commander - and surprisingly - it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be.... 7/10

...Anyone want to choose the lesser of two weevils. :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Mind Hunters 7/10 would of scored higher but Christian slater wasn't in it for long enough although good to see Jonny Lee Miller in a lead role

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Shrek 2, 10/10 :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Mindhunters 7/10 :erm: I can only assume that you gave it such a high score because Slater was in it. You must of laughed at the fight sequence at the end, what was that all about :rofl: It seemed to be thrown in to try and give it some action.

Just watched Hellboy :) An enjoyable comic book film with a few good laughs in it too. 6/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just seen Love Actually.

Wern't bad at all. Amazing cast. The ending was a bit silly, which let it down a bit. Other than that, it was pretty good.

Essientially it followed the love exploits of about 12 people who are vaguely connected. It covered the whole spectrum of love, from newly married love, forbidden love, unrequited love, newly found love, etc.

I'm not really a love movie fan, (I don't watch them normally unless it has American Pie in the title), so the fact I even watched it says something, let alone actually liked it. If you aren't a chick-flick, you can still enjoy it because it has some really fine ladies in it. One even gets her baps out which is nice. It is actually a bit weird. There are too many depressing moments to be an uplifting film, yet there are a few to warm the heart. It is sort of depressing if you are single, but it isn't too bad. Incidentally i'm moving to Milwaukee (If you have already seen the film you'll know why :naughty:)

So yeah definitely worth watching if you can. :tu:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

this week i watched:

shrek 2 -
was good fun - if a little short could of done with a better plot but was fine for kids and adults and was very pretty with lots of movie tie ins
8.5/10
Spider man 2 -
much like the first one it needs a proper baddy and for him to sort himself out - special fx were super but overall i felt a bit cheated it was kinda naff but visually stunning
6/10
Hellboy
before i watched it i was aware it came out in the states a while ago and hadnt hit uk cinemas yet thats always a bad sign. i also read the "plot" a demon summoned by nazi's at the end of ww2 - silly indeed. anyway it didnt seem to take its self to serious the main dude (RED) was funny and a good hero overall plot was exciting certainly but didnt really make alot of sence but it didnt need to wasnt watching it to be educated or amazed at the acting - it was a bad film but had a certain thing about it that deserved to be watched - but i think a lot of older people or anyone that like to engage their brain while watching a film will think it is silly 7.5/10

*EDIT*
i forgot i also watched Welcome to moouseport with the dude from everyone loves raymond - thats rubbish 3/10
and i watched the big bounce with morgan freeman and owen wilson and that was kinda pointless so 3/10 - the big bounce did have ladies in it so maybe 3.5 for the babes

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Didn't fuss about the fight scene - but I do like the CSI type programmes so thats probably why I enjoyed the film - also seen Hellboy would also give that 6/10 - another rating Stepford Wives 2/10 - doesn't make a good comedy can't hold a condel to the original

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I watched "Deep Blue Sea" tonight - first time I've watched it in ages.

LL Cool J & co. vs some genetically engineered super-sharks..... LOL, great fun :D

maybe a 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Alien 8/10
Watching Aliens atm (god I love my job) :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Oooh, good choices :tu: :D


Although....

Director's Cut of Alien, or the theatrical version?

Special Edition of Aliens, or the theatrical version?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

It's from the Alien Legacy box set, so there's the deleted scenes from Alien, like Dallas turning into an egg.
Aliens is the special addition with clips from Newt's tale
Got Alien3 and Ressurection to watch through the night

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Took the Kids to see Shrek2 on Saturday morning - and loved it. :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched Bowling For Columbine.

Excellent movie, and I am now convinced that all Americans are mad as a bag of foxes. :disturbd:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Cool :D


Bit of a long night, though!




I still need to see that.

Although I think the next film I'll be going to see will be Spider-Man 2... :D
