I would like to know what people make of the last few Bond films - I'm just so excited that Chris Cornell is doing the theme song

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5220262.stm

:D

I think the last bond film I saw was the living daylights, all bond films look the same to me!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'd agree with your high points about Brandon Routh and the special effects, but I think the story should have been one of the low points as it was a long-winded pile of old dross, imo.

Oh, and you're spot-on about Kate Bosworth... she does a good job, but it's not quite there in comparison to Kidder (but at least she's better at Lois Lane than Teri Hatcher was ;) )

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw PotC yesterday. Not as good as I was hoping - maybe because it's mainly more of the same. Still entertaining, just not as fresh as the original.
(Jules - you didn't miss much at the end - PM if you really want to know!)
7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw Miami Vice today. Not the best movie going, but a good popcorn movie :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

V for Vendetta

Got this one out on DVD, bloody good movie - really enjoyed it and its weirdly relevant.

Totally different to what i expected.

Wallace and Grommit - Curse of the Ware Rabbit

What more is there to say - class animation.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Poseidon last night...

Not bad, not the worst film in the world by a long stretch.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I saw V for Vendetta last week. Thought that it was good up until the end. The ending was bad. It was like they had run out of time and had to end it there and then.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I did wonder how he managed to get hundreds of thousands of suits made up without anyone noticing. ;)

But hey, its a movie, its American and they dont tend to think we will spot these things.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

saw my super ex girlfriend on saturday night. Very good movie, much better than I was expecting, Eddie Izzard made for a fantastic nemesis though he wasnt quite as evil as I had hoped. Though to be honest the lack of evil just made him even funnier as a super villan.
It wont win any awards for plot line but it was very entertaining and very funny with some well written gags, I would rate it 8/10. I was tempted to give it 10/10 because its been a while since I have walked out of the cinema actually feeling like I have been entertained rather than just occupied but the plot let it down just enough I think to justify 8/10 instead.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thoroughly enjoyed V, thought it was an excellent modernisation of the comic, and the setup which brought Norsefire to power, is much more plausible than the UK being missed during WW3 because of a 1983 Labour win and the resultant expulsion of the US nuclear deterant.
After all, how many Sun readers believe that ID cards are a good thing because they'll make us safe?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

World Trade Centre - I thought this was a fantastic movie. Really well made as it was written by the actual people it is about. Not a dry eye left in the cinema after either.

Definate go see movie. 8/10

Was in Florida last week so went to see it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mr & Mrs Smith - was on over the weekend, and never thought about it much - quite enjoyed it though, some good gags, fairly funny but never too serious - 7/10


My Super Ex Girlfriend - nothing fancy and fairly funny - 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Pirates of the Carribbean 2 over the weekend... it's better than the 1st one, a lot less Disney-like than I was expecting, with a plot that seems to change direction a lot (not sure many of the kids in the audience understood the plot but they all seemed to enjoy the film nonetheless). Overall, I'd give it 7/10, which is much higher than I anticipated it'd be.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Broken Flowers with Bill Murray on DVD

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!!!! :tu:

Class ending too :D

But if you didnt like Lost in Translation avoid this one...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Talledega Nights

funny but ridiculous at times.

6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Starship Troopers 2 - Was actually much better than I was expecting, about as good as the original 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ella Enchanted (don't even ask why!)

Sucks only people who will like this are teens :td:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A couple of good trailers (IMHO) if you like kickass action movies

The Protector
http://www.apple.com/trailers/weinst...tor/trailer1r/
starring Tony Jaa from"Ong Bak"

and

Crank (Jason Statham - think "Transporter" on speed)
http://www.uip.co.uk/trailers.asp?ChosenTrailer=crank

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched The Sentinel yesterday... 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched "the Wicker Man" tonight, it's a pretty good film really, it's got it's fair share of plot twists and the storyline is gripping. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it :)

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Have you seen the original?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sadly not :(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The original is a classic :tu:

I've not seen the Nic Cage remake, but I've heard it's not meant to be as good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I'm sorting the original out now ;) Gonna do a compare somtime over the next day or so :)

I think someone i know has the DVD in their collection...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Crank, starring Jason Statham - think of all the fight and chase scenes in Transporter, and only have those in the film (with some gratuitous sex scenes, and that's it!

A good fun film.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You mean that there was more than just fight and chase scenes in The Transporter? I must have blinked and missed it ;) :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hee hee!

OK, Transporter with an 18 certificate, with hyper-kinetic cinematography!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Basic Instinct 2 (dvd)

Not as good as the first one (obviously) but then the first one was a classic. Oh and Sharon Stone still looks great. :naughty: :angel:

Not a bad film though, but does lack the suspense of the original. 6/10 :) (changed my mind on the score, initially, I gave it an extra point for getting Stan Collymore killed off in the first 5 minutes :D )

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Final Destination 3 (dvd)

The deaths continue to get just as inventive, as with the previous 2 films. I do think though, maybe it's time the producers called it a day. The initial idea, in the first film, was very clever and very well done. Now though, it's getting a little repetitive, and stale.

However, it is well worth a watch, and I did enjoy it. 7/10 :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I liked final destination as well :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Have you seen all 3 Jules ?

I think the first one was the best.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes I got the box set for my birthday, I love to watch the decapitations etc in slow motion :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

OMG ! I nearly swallowed me tongue, reading your post then. You're worse than my mother, for blood and guts. :rofl:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Oh I love a bit of blood and guts in films :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Jeepers Creepers came on Channel 4 two days ago, missed the sequel yesterday (like I give a toss) Not a perfect film since it's a teen horror and most parts- it's predictable but yet pretty enjoyable.
Out of 10 I'll give this a good 7

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw part 2 yesterday on C4. Must admit it was more than i expected from it. Heard it was naff really, but i liked it, even though predictable, still gave me a good fright at some points. Mind you i did watch it in the dark with the house creaking weirdly as well :eek:

7/10.

Silent Hill, i watched this 2 days ago, man this was a great film with the odd plot twist or three, it was predictable at times, but basically great. Having enver p[layed the game (or even knowing if they are associated) i got into the story straight away, and it scared me poop-less at some points! The little girl played the part really well.
Nice film to see, 8.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mr & Mrs Smith - good mindless fun :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Pink Panther

Steve Martin stars, in this pile of dross. :disturbd:

Peter Sellers must be turning in his grave.

3/10 And that's only because Beyonce is in it. :naughty: :angel:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Even this comic genius would find that difficult, as his body was cremated...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The irony of somebody called "pedantic" being corrected..

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So let's get this right........

You have never used that expression, for someone who was cremated ?

Ok then..........He must be turning in his Urn. That better ? :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 10:20 ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 ----------

Why ?

Maybe you should look up the meaning before making a comment like that, being pedantic does not always mean you are armed with all the facts. ;)

And anyway, you're :notopic: and should know better. ;) :D :angel:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Doom...

Loved Doom and Doom 2 games, REALLY loved Doom 3 and thought the movie would be pants. But I liked it, even though I knew what was going to happen since it was almost the same plot as the Doom 3 game! 7/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched From Hell the other night, about the Ripper staring Johny Depp, great film

10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finally got round to watching Transporter2, after buying the DVD over a month ago - cracking fun.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Black Hawk Down - 8-9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

saw clerks 2 at the cinema - all of 5 people present!? no wonder it didn't run for a 2nd week. I found it disappointing, and I am a Kevin Smith fan (not as much as my other half!) - although it's supposed to be about dante and randal - I found them boring and their arguements between each other just annoying. It was more fun when randal argues with customers or the other staff (Elias? he so cute and geeky!), or when Jay and Silent Bob appear... best bit has to be Jay doing his 'silence of the lambs' / goodbye horses dance (check youtube!) 7/10 compared to Clerks (original) 9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:tu::tu: Got the 3 disc set of that. Stunning.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

3 disc?:shocked: where could I find it? I bougth the 2 disc set and thaugth it was the "biggest" collection....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I got it from HMV for £9.99

Amazon have got it Here

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Children of Men


Dystopian-future thriller, based on the novel by PD James.


Very good, with a great cast :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I went to see Children Of Men too.

Very good film with a lot to it. Very well made film and an interesting storyline.
Very detailed too. I enjoyed it. :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Off to see Little Miss Sunshine tonight, its got some stonking reviews, who knows.. :shrug:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well, laughed from start to finish, as did nearly everyone in the Cinema - dont pass this up it really is a cracking movie and really funny too.

9/10 (Point deducted as i wanted more)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw two films this week.

Clerks II: Excellent film. If you liked the first one, you'll love this.

You, Me & Dupree: An OK film. Owen Wilson an Kate Hudson are excellent.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw "An Inconvenient Truth" last night.


Very good :tu:


Although it's preaching to the converted, & I very much doubt that any climate change skeptics would ever watch it & take it in.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on ITV2 and it never fails to make me laugh 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Love that film too :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched The hills have eyes last night, if you like blood, guts and lots of gore then this has it all :tu: 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I prefer Steak and Chips with lots of red wine, but I am always willing to try the special of the day. :monkey:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

In My Country

A film about the truth and reconciliation hearings in South Africa, impossible to watch without crying.

9/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Crank - very mindless action flick - good fun :)

Children of men - Really good film. The ending in the refugee camp was really good

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Pretty Woman - 6/10. It's okay if there isn't anything else on tv....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mission to Mars - on one of the ITV cable channels earlier this week - couldn't make up it's mind if it was a disaster movie or Close Encounters.

I'm a SF fan, but only 5/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw that a while back. It's okay I suppose. Not brilliant, but watchable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Lucky # Sleven

Great movie nicely put together open, and fantastic twist at the end which i did not see coming.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Blues Brother - Just awesome 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Click this is a very good film very funny and emotional to boot :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Clerks - on one of the cable channels last night 9/10 - Kevin Smith makes great, funny (often scatological) films, and I would recommend his others -
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Mallrats

even
Jersey Girl; not in the same class as above, but still enjoyable.

Word of advice - not for the easily shocked.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Finding Neverland, starring Johnny Depp, Kate Winslett and Dustin Hoffman.

Not the usual sort of film that I'd choose to watch but it was very enjoyable. The acting is of an excellent standard, and the cinematography is fantastic too.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Went to see Click last night, great film very funny and yes I cried at the sad bits 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I don't know why this film got bad reviews in the papers, it certainly seems a good funny movie. :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nor do I, I must admit I wasn't overly keen to go see it after what I had read but I am so glad I did now

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Review form my mum and Aunt, and relative fiances's:

Click, what a good film! 9.5/10

Thats about all i could get out of them!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Because film "critics" have no taste, and think that just because they didn't like a movie, they must be right and no one else should either.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched Brokeback Mountain yesterday. My mum had it on DVD and insisted on playing it. You never really want your parents to know what you get up to in bed :disturbd: It was alright but I generally don't go for "doomed romance" or "forbidden love" a la Romeo and Juliet :sick: Odd ending.

5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Accepted - quite a funny film, with some major laughs, just a lucky feel good movie, would give it 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nacho Libre - Utter Sh#te. Not funny in the slightest. Slapstick without the funny aspect.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Departed - could not have asked for a better ovie this year to watch.
Action and Suspense all the way through, right to the end.
Would recommend it to anyone interested in a brilliant film - 10/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Face Off - 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hoodwinked - CGI cartoon version of Little Red Riding Hood, given the Rashomon treatment.

6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Walk the line, Johny Cashs life story wasn't all that good to be honest 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hmm last movie a I saw was Jackie Chan - How Am I. I think it came on channel 5 last week, not to sure though...
Great movie with kick ass moves as usual. 8.5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Wilderness, definitely Lord of the Flies meets Dog Soldiers. 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I watched "The Shadow" on tv last night ...i'd forgotten how terrible it was.
3/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What about 'They Live'... (ie, try and remember to bring it to work tomorrow! ;))

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ok Matey, i've put it in my bag. ;)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched Severance, bit disappointed tbh, it couldn't make its mind up whether it wanted to be a comedy or a horror and ended up being neither, 6/10 shame.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Grudge 2 - a couple of jumpy bits but thats it, for me it was a waste of the cinema, could have easily fallen asleep - IMO 5/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Click - 5/10 not really that funny after all the wait and too predicatable. Overtones of meet Joe Black also.

Da Vinci code - 6/10 Seemed forced all the way through and the chioce of the lead lady was horrendous. For a better storey in this vain see National Treasure with Nic cage which is 10/10. Or Sahara which I though was 9/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

When a stranger calls 7/10

Don't watch it on your own, if you're easily spooked. :erm: :D


Hollow man 2 7/10

Don't remember the first, but this was ok, Christian Slater seems better when he's invisible lol. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I want to see that film when a stranger calls

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Do you live in a big house Jules ?

If you do...........I dare ya.........watch it on your own. Muuuhhaahhaa :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Beyond Re-Animator (on Zone Horror)... Not seen the first one, but this was very cheesy. But watchable. 6/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Departed 9/10

Quality movie and a real break from traditional hollywood type scripts, No shakey god damn hand cam either.

A bit violent and you'll need your thinking cap on but a great piece of work by Scorsese, Jack Nicholson is ****ing superb too.

See it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nah just a 2 bed semi but I would be watching it on my own as loved one likes to play his comp games on a night and son and heir does not like that sort of film, so I will be watching it in the bedroom with the lights off :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Severance - the film itself wasn't fab - 6/10.

Danny Dyer though, was effing marvellous, he really stole the show and made the film. I never thought I'd laugh so mumch at a severed leg. :rofl: 10/10 for his performance. :tu:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - 7/10 I really liked it!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I quite liked that one. Some people I know didn't, but they take some films way too seriously :) I like to enjoy a film for what it is.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I concur, fantastic film :)
