American gangster - 10/10

Brilliant film, the best i've seen in a long time, Denzel Washington is fantastic and so is Russell Crowe, a must see for everyone.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shanghai Kiss - 8/10

Some funny bits. A solid script. Has Hayden Panettiere in it =P

Just watched FLOOD, total washout 2\10 :td:


Also watched P2
A businesswoman is pursued by a psychopath after being locked in a parking garage on Christmas Eve.

Absolutly excellent psycho\horror\thriller flick. 9\10 :tu:

Transformers 3/10

I found it strangely boring, stupidly bad acting, nice visual effects though.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Evil Aliens - 9/10

This was a fantastic film...I've not seen this much gore since Bad Taste and Dead Alive.
Really funny and gruesome, a classic British comedy/horror...well worth a look if you like arms and legs flying everywhere.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

28 Weeks Later - 8/10

Flaming bleak and depressing. Pretty gory too, with some real "cushion moments".

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Eastern Promises - 9/10
Great film, well worth a watch, and the Bath-house scene is just great. really shows Viggo Mortensen as a great multidimensional actor.
Best film I've seen in some time.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Zeitgeist - 10/10
Docufilm about the beginings of religion and how modern day bible is just a copy ancient civilisations beliefs. Then how that relates to how the worlds Major Banking corporations really rule the earth. Very interesting eye opener.

American Gangster - 5/10
Thought the film was very slow but watchable, no doubt it'll win a few Oscars tho'.

re: Rate the last movie you saw

On similar themes, the Golden Compass, and excellent good v evil film, especially as the evil is depicted as "doing good as they see fit"
10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Planet Terror - 10/10 :D

Great fun...plus Rose McGowan... :drool: :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Golden Compass got a slating on News Night Review, plus it sounds like a dodgy German movie.

Just watched Platoon for the n-th time but it's still brilliant - 10/10

Currently waiting for the Bourne DVDs to turn up from the Zon.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You might know it as Northern Lights by Philip Pullman.
Real edge of seat tension, and if I were american (and not boycotting the film for being anti-church) sky punching moments.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to see Golden Compass today. Great stuff. Especially the Polar Bear fight :)

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Totally agree, it's a great movie

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Satan's Little Helper - 5/10 - Good idea for the plot but needed lots more blood and guts.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Beowulf - 9/10 - If, like me, you enjoy a couple of hours of 'suspend reality and enjoy the ride' this is great fun. Pretty gory in places and def not one for the kids but very enjoyable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just been watching My Neighbour Totero on Film 4.Magical...Why is Japanese animation so much better than any Disney rubbish these days?

Definitely 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

ok.
the professionals (1966) -
big stars - big guns - a touch of the dirty dozen and a twist at the end - But still NOTHING on any of the dollars trilogy or anything with Clint in it really. 6/10

Death at a funeral (limited screens) -
Had the pilot from firefly in it (dosnt he show up in lots of films?) oh and that midget (i think he was a midget) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/ who is also in EVERYTHING. Anyway seemed to be a harmless low budget frank oz flick i didnt laugh much but it was ok. 6/10

Benders big score (animated)
Superb fun lots of in jokes and laughs :) bring it back!

Stardust:
Apart from seeing dexter fletcher it was a complete load of rubbish the dude didnt ask him self once what was going on!
4/10 maybe good for kids i dunno

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Balls of Fury 0/10 not even going to waste my time with comment

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

school for scroudrels -
billy bob thornton + Jon heder it was average. A nice idea but i didnt laugh. A small cameo from Ben Stiller as well...anyway Avoid :) 5/10

Mr Woodcock -
Billy bob thornton + Stiffler! - Again not much fun even if it did have Randy from My name is earl in it. Avoid :) 5/10

American Pie beta House -
well having watch the naked mile i had to watch Beta house and while looking at naked girls was great fun the comedy was lacking and i LOVE teen frat house comedy stuff but this was useless give me Animal house any day ! TOGA TOGA TOGA! 3/10

Holloween (2007 version)
Mr zombie did the remake here and it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. Im not a huge fan of horror movies as to be honest i spend most of the time avoiding the screen :) It didnt really explain why he was a nutter but u learn he was a nutter from a very very early age. 7/10

Eastern Promises.
Ok it wasnt until the end of the film and i looked on IMDB that i learnt it was our man Strider from LOTR being the clever russian dude. The best bit of the film is the naked fight towards the end - Bit of a naff ending i hope they do a sequal. 8/10

Rush Hour 3:
He is to old :( and i love him and it just isnt funny now. 4/10

Shoot Em Up:
Now this looked crap so i avoided it until the other day. Clive owen who i have a lot of time for lately was pretty good - a no nonesence dude with a gun and a baby to look after. A good bad guy to chace Clive about and loads and loads of silly stunts with guns :) Harmless film but by no means a classic. 6/10

The Kingdom:
Her from alias - Him from Ray/Collateral. About a FBI team in the middle east investigating a bombing. Seemed to be a good idea but the actual solving of the case didnt seem to take long and the film was to short for me. We directed and with nice camera work. It was just the plot that let it down it didnt really excite me. 6/10

The heartbreak Kid (2007 version)
well its ben stiller (and his dad) doing what ben stiller does in every other film he has ever been in. A nice twist at the end and some of the scenes with his mental wife did make me laugh but disapointing really especially the whole love side of the story. 6/10

WAR -
Jet lie and mr Crank him self. Well my god that was a silly film and by the end i wasnt sure what the hell was going on. Some ok fight scenes i do enjoy Jason Statham films simply because i know what i will get. By no means a classic or probably worth watching but if you do watch it tell me what happened at the end i didnt pay much attention as it was getting silly. Oh a great bit when he attaches the bomb to the dog :)
5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am Legend.


Overall a pretty good film, if you get to see it on the big screen do, its worth the £5 or so. If you can grab it elsewhere the small screen wont really do it justice

8.5/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am Legend:
i wonder what arnie would of done in it... Anyway it was ok i knew as soon as i saw a cute animal in it that my wife would cover her head with a blanket every time the animal looked likely to be in trouble.
An ok remake kinda different films - It ignore the book a lot but thats ok. I think it was to short for a film about everyone on earth either dying or being eaten by nasties.
Will Smith was very good and the sound track was awesome :) A bit of me kept wishing that they would follow the books plot just a little as i got a faint glimpse of it early on but ho hum.
7/10 - Nice will smith - to short not enough closure.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watching the Bourne trilogy - nice boxed set, in a metal case. Dinted though - Royal Mail for you :rolleyes: Watched the first two so far. Very low-key is the violence - it's more of a thriller than anything. Quite scary though - makes you wonder if any of it is real. I would imagine most of it is - which begs the question, "How did 9/11 happen then?" Anyway - so far 9/10

Oh and Matt Damon with no shirt on :drool:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Low key violence?Well in as much as he's trying NOT to get caught I guess so but really I see nothing low key about the violence or the car chases.Brilliant series though and each one is as good as the others.Not often one can say that about a series of films especially in this genre.:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If it was, say, Tarantino, you'd have lots of blood all over the place - possibly assorted body parts - and lingering shots thereof. Slow-mo too. Hence "low key".

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

He's a man in a hurry so no time to linger.Besides which these people aren't killing 'cos they like it, they are killing because it is expedient therefore they will do it as quickly and as cleanly as possible and then leave as quietly as possible which moves us onto the next scene tout suite.The violence is still rather nasty and some of the fights are quite long and sustained.It seems more realistic to me.Tarantino films seem so fake.

Did you know that it is a fallacy that being shot flings you backwards away from the shooter...it never happens that way.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Exactly, Coggy - contract killing is clinical, so it would never have worked to make it gory and flashy. I agree there were one or two nasty scenes though not as bad as they could have been. Each killer also appears to have a preferred method, which would make sense, and not always one that doesn't leave a mess. But sometimes a mess is needed if certain people are to be convinced it was someone (or some group) else responsible, and not the Americans.

I did, yeah - it varies greatly. Some do fall backwards, but others fall forward.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i find the boune trilogy makes an excellent attempt at giving me some of that 70's-80's espionage thriller feel back to my tv screen. I keep expecting Gene Hackman to turn up

re: Rate the last movie you saw

Viva Knievel 0-10 quite possibly the worst film in the history of mankind, it should come with a public health warning: Suicide inducing, watch at own risk

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched The King on Channel 4 - very dark and shocking tale of revenge. 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Apart from the fact he cant act to save his life?

---------- Post added at 02:58 ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 ----------

I like everything from action, sci-fi to drama and romance, as long as the acting is good and the story is sollid i'll watch it :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The first one was okish, nearly fell asleep during the second, don't know if I can be bothered to watch the third unless it's free or comes up on Sky.

I would imagine in the books you probably really feel for Bourne and want him to find out his history etc, but in the films I find myself thinking "So what?"

I much preferred Shooter, even though it's plot has been done to death, but it was done in such a way that it still kept my attention. It's also been the inspiration for a whole load of better gun paint jobs in airsoft (much better than the old Airfix Lancaster paint style).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nope I was no fan of it either :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

bourne ultimatum appears to be too much like the 2nd film in parts and too much like they have little plot left to explore - I fell asleep near the end. and it lacked an ultimatum.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am Legend

Simply amazing 9/10

I must say one of Will Smith's best movies ever.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

big thing about JFK getting shot in the head as his head went backwards (i think) after being shot so they assumed someone was in front of him shooting him but thats not the case

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alone In The Dark - 7/10. Not bad, but not scary enough.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shoot 'em up - 9/10 - Absolutely stunning action film. The soundtrack complements the action brilliantly. I didn't know you could do that many things with a carrot.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, more info would be interesting, such as how the trap was copied, like how they got hold of a stud gun that could fire into concrete like his.
I think after the point where most patrons started crying, the film went down hill and was a bit meh.
Might get the book when I have time.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to see St.Trinians today - really funny and entertaining.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Hostel II. I never saw the original - damn glad I didn't. I have a strong stomach, but my roast lamb dinner ended up returned to the oven, pending the end of the film. I had a bit of a "gulp" moment when he slipped with the angle grinder :disturbd: And the ending - suppose the lamb could have been toad in the hole :erm: No real plot - just a lot of excessive violence and gore. Not sure why they make movies like this - 2/10

Also, Mrs Henderson presents. Only 3 stars in the Radio Times, but I quite enjoyed it. Very emotional in places. Plot a little thin, but entertaining none-the-less. Slight disappointment at being given only a brief, side-on glimpse of Will Young's giblets. Plus the full-on-naked-tubby-hair-bear-horror of Bob Hoskins :disturbd: 8/10



<crosses Eastern Europe off the "places to visit" list>

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought Hostel 1 was very much more graphic than part 2, I didn't like part 2 much myself, boring and not enough gore. It's the same as the 'Saw' franchises, you don't watch them for plot or story. The gorier the better I'm affraid.

re: Rate the last movie you saw

National Treasure 2, what you'd expect IMHO, watchable tale :shrug: 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

films like hostel 1-2 saw 1-4 are a little odd.
i spend a lot of time with my eyes closed waiting for the nasty stuff to end :)
in hostel 2 i wasnt keen on the woman hung upside down and ripped open, it was an interesting way to die but not nice to watch :)


watched:
undercover brother - well what more could i want from a film. Its silly and funny, probably not for girls or if you didnt like aeroplane / hotshots etc

Solid! 9/10 - we got the funk!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched The History Boys. Very affecting film - parallels to my own life, and very moving at the end. I thought the ending with Miss Jones looking back, particularly inspired and yet sad. Still a bit upset now. I do love Bennett - he thinks like me. I don't have his education though. At school, I was just bored. We used to have sets, and I was usually stuck in the higher ones. Something about potential. I didn't want to learn what they wanted to teach, nor in the way they taught it. That's education for you - one size fits all. A template for thinking for the rest of your life. Supression of individuality. Some of you on here show it quite clearly. 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Alvin and the Chipmunks - 7/10

Great fun and brought back a lot of memories of being a kid.

There's something beautiful in the juxtaposition of History Boys and Alvin and the Chipmunks. From such heights, to such lows :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Captivity

Very predictable plot, ok acting and a slight twist at the end that I didnt predict.

4\10


The Omega Man

God you can tell its a 1974 film but very well acted, I think Heston done a good job with the script he was given I dont know how far it deviated from the book but from what I have read elsewhere it was a virtual re-write and that Matheson didnt want his name connected with the film.

7\10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

talking about The Omega Man, thats by far the better option if your thinking of seeing I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, possibly Earth's only human survivor of a man-made virus. He works to create a cure while living in a city inhabited by nocturnal mutant victims of the plague. "

IAL is total and utter tosh on story, and very little more on acting, the FX are werth a small mention and thats about it.

shame really, as the zombie and his dogs could have been SO MUCH more for plotline, but ill not say anything more, as this version of the story is so shallow id give the whole film away by saying anything more....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

RoboCop (Blu-ray Disc)


9/10. Classic stuff.


To think that Verhoeven later went on to do "Showgirls"... :rolleyes:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just saw Finding Neverland..loved it.Absolute magic.

10/10 for the perfect weepy afternoon film.

Now they are watching Diehard 4.

tried to watch it until the first impossible stunt move.:rolleyes:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'll be watching that partly because I enjoyed the first (I like brainless Indiana Jones style actioners) and partly because a lot of the London scenes were filmed in and around where I work.

The last film I saw? 300..

Good points? Lena Headey (soon to appear on V1 in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles").

Bad points? Pretty much everything else. In short, I found it to be one of the most boring films I have ever seen, and I wasn't too upset when my licence to watch it on Xbox Live expired before I had finished watching it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

no country for old men -
i must be the only person who isnt a coen brothers fan but i gave it a go anyway. Good acting, good plot. No music made the film a little strange to start with but it was a clever idea i feel. Anyway the last 30 mins of the film kinda sucked and were boring but such is life :) The killing machine dude was awesome :)

5/10

Good luck chuck:
romcom/sex comedy - I didnt laugh and i didnt watch it for the sexy lady.
2/10 please try harder.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Kite Runner - 9/10

This movie is deep and shows the life of people in Afghanistan during the taliban rule... this movie was hard for me to watch and was very emotional since im an Afghan myself and i know what it was like to live in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule.

It would have got 10/10 rating from me but there were a few flaws, in this movie they showed the Taliban speaking in Dari, infact the Taliban almost 100% of the time speak in Pashto, the rest of the speaking from the other cast was in Dari and that was fine since it was mostly in Kabul where Dari is spoken more then Pashto.

A few other flaws was in the way they spoke the words in Dari, it didn't always make sense, now for someone who doesn't understand Dari and read the translation its fine, but when you understand the language and are taking more note of the speaking rather then the translation flaws are easily noticed...

Its disgusting what the Pashtun Afghans do to the Hazara Afghans (Chinese looking ones) tho... and it is usually much worse then they show.

anyways.... please go and see this movie! 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

30 Days Of Night. Enjoyed it.
It did maintain a very low level of cheesyness with the main character throughout, but the Vamps were ace. Great concept too-a town that has a full month of no sunlight. Perfect vampire territory!
:D
Unfortunately, the cheese wins in the end, but in a cool-ish way if that's possible. Not quite a happy ending, if a little cringeworthy.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Golden Compass..

V. Good film. The direct references to the church are gone, but are still implied (this is by design apparently). Excellent cast, a good adaptation of the story in the books, and occasionally good special FX (the daemons sometimes look a little fake, which is curious, as they form a major part of the story).

7/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

American Pie : Beta House

2/10 (for the decent amount of juggies) :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Um, I know - thought I'd make an attempt at a bit of humour :rolleyes: :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

American Gangster- I liked it, was a bit of escapist entertainment and should continue to do well at the box office.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

30 Days of Night.

Excellent if somewhat OTT decapitation fest let down by a lack lustre performance from the male lead Josh Harnett.

The effects are very credible with some good camera shots especially near the begining with the overview of the town looking down on the vampyre's killing the towns folk.

Gonna find the book to have a read as I feel this will give the characters a lot more deepth.

Charlie Wilson's War - 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"The Blair Godzilla Project"?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Okay, three movies then, with the Blair Witch Project for the camera work ;)

The other one was Alien...it's one of those films that if I say much more, it will spoil it for other people... ;)

I still enjoyed it though...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I Am Legend

6/10. I liked it, but there didn't seem to be a lot happening. Could have done more with it I think, it had potential.
