The Blues Brothers

Bloody classic. 10/10.


Best soundtrack ever, & one of the best car-chases ever.


The ultimate musical-comedy.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My fav film of all time film. Its a shame that BB2000 was a right load of toffee, that could have been a much, much better film than it was, not surpassing but coming close to the first.

Just watched Serenity (Firefly movie) Excellent, well worth watching. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yep, it's a classic :D


Serenity is great too.



You're right about BB2000 :(

10/10

Beautiful yet disturbing movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

take it you got the unedited version?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yes, blu-ray directors cut, 10 mins longer (spicy/raunchy scenes)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i know lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Monkey

A very young looking Donnie Yen, great fight scenes, terrible english dubbing, gotta love it :D

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Is that actually in English? I checked Wikipedia and it said a few languages...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It's in Mandarin with very little english spoken.

Not the sort of movie you'd want a dub on anyway.

Still well worth the watch.

P.S If you intend on watching it, make sure you dont get the US Version as it's heavily cut.

An another one.


Shadowless Sword (Korean) (German Blu-Ray)

7/10

Got a high rating just for the fight scenes, storyline felt abit silly at times but i guess that was the intention, the "johnny depp" pirate windup scene had me in hysterics.

P.S Dont buy german blu-rays, the quality is serious lacking on all german releases, no english subtitles either, so it was a good thing i know korean.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not a new one by any means, but Bravo Two Zero (after reading the book, which I read after reading Sniper One..).
Absolute pants. Probably one of the worst films I've ever seen.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

In The Line Of Duty 4

7/10

Another classic donnie yen! with another silly english dub, great fight/action scenes, interesting storyline, great characters. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Kautokeino-opprøret (blu-ray)

if i was giving it a score just for scenery purposes it would be an instant 10/10

6/10 For the movie itself, quite interesting and made me think but parts of the story felt a little rushed and out of place at times.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Taken. I liked this one. Liam Neeson does a great job. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, I saw that a few weeks ago - was surprised at how good an action hero Liam Neeson made in it.



The Incredible Hulk (BD)

8/10

I think Iron Man tops it for "Best Marvel Movie of 2008", but it was still very good & much better than I expected.

Also a few nice nods...

The purple trousers Betty buys Bruce

Letter to "David B."

Lou Ferrigno as the voice of the Hulk!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought it was much better than Iron Man, which i thought to be just stupid.

Anyway much better than the 2003(?) version of the hulk.

6/10 from me.

Danny The Dog

5/10

Was laughable at times, but watchable.

CJ7

8/10

Funny, great family movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Death Race - 8/10

Plenty of action, I really liked it

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Man Who Fell to Earth - 5/10
Pros - boobs.
Cons - dragged on a bit, weird & a bit confusing, & a bit depressing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Tiger On The Beat

9/10

Great Chow-Yun-Fat movie, prefer this over lethap weapon anyday!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

2 films from me.

Mirrors
Keither Sutherland stars in this supernatural\horror flick that that culminates in an ending that could see a sequel.
There were some moments where my wife jumped and a plot\story that flowed really well. Sutherland is still that single emotion actor in varying degrees of loudness (that he uses so well in 24) plays an ex cop who gets a job as a security guard at an old shop where the mirrors hold a deadly entity.
Worth watching :tu: 8/10



The Midnight Meat Train
Vinnie Jones plays a butcher in this film, pretty fast paced, good flow and excellent special effects (if a little far fetched at times)
Dont expect a lot of dialogue from Vinnie (2 words in the whole film) but his acting skills are coming along nicely.
I didnt recognise Brooke Sheilds who played the lead female until the end titles rolled.
Lots of blood and gore, based on a short story from Clive Barker.

Worth watching :tu: 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

mutant chronicles , not bad it passed the night .

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched V for Vendetta again, for the... 3rd time I think. Still a good movie. 8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quantum Of Solace 8/10 short for a Bond film good stunts good action, nice and gritty

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Wanted - 7/10 - I quite liked it although it's a little far fetched :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hah, just a little... ;)


I thought it was great.

Unbelievably stupid, but great. Non-stop cool & OTT action.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shoot Em Up

5/10

Way OTT, totally stupid but kind of enjoyable.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I just watched Star Wars : The Clone Wars with Peter.

He loved it, I was just thinking it was ok....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

James Bond: Quantum of Solace.

Crap storyline, me neither my friends understood it. Good action scenes but use too much "shaky" effect. Quite short. Wouldn't bother watching again, Batman is still film of the year for me.

Casino Royale was brilliant = 9/10
Quantum of Solace = 5/10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quantum of Solace 4/10

Story was terrible, shaky cam did get really annoying and also it appeared to be really badly edited! There was so many moments where the scenes skipped to somewhere else without finishing what was taking place previously.

Action scenes were good though.

Also the theme song is poor which matches the film perfectly!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched Iron Man last night - worth it just for Gwyneth Paltrow :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I just watched wall-e with my boy.... I loved it and he liked it so much he just asked me to watch it again. The first filme he's asked me to do that so it must get his vote :)

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well I enjoyed Quantum of Solace..It passed a crappy rainy Saturday nicely.I never noticed any poor editing and as for shaky cam well what do you expect in an action film?:)

The only thing I didn't like was the theme tune..that was totally boring,banal and unremarkable and mostly it will be the most unmemorable Bond theme of all time.:mad:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Made me fall asleep half way through, i know bad acting, OTT action etc are all apart of a bond film but wow i want that few hours of my life back.

Swordfish

8/10

Excellent is all i can say, very well scripted, very well thought out and great action on top of it!

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais not a bad movie 7 out of 10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Iron Man - 8/10 - A liitle slow to start but it makes up for it later. It gets an extra point for having Suicidal Tendencies in the soundtrack. :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Righteous Kill 8 of 10 with Robert Deniro and Al Pacino well worth seeing.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Recount

Dramatisation of the Florida 2000 recount, shown on C4 last night.


Very well made, with a great cast (Kevin Spacey, John Hurt, & more).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Quantum of Solace 7/10 not bad more on the lines of the Bourne trilogy than any previous Bond movie, also for a change not reliant on gadgets or gimmicks.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I saw Quantum of Solace today and I really enjoyed it. 9/10. I agree that it was done in a similar style to Bourne, especially the rooftop chase and the knife fight. No wacky gadgets was good as well.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I haven't seen it yet, but I have to say that I'm 1 of the people who actually likes the gadgets.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Does not need them in this film, well worth seeing though.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The last straw for me was the invisible car in Die Another Day.

It's not a typical Bond movie, so don't go to watch it, expecting that. The style of this film does appear to be similar to the Bourne series, which I did like and do prefer.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Second time today I have come across someone saying that about the invisible Aston Martin.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I suspected Quantum of Solace was going to be a let down because it was rushed out and cut to 1 hour 45mins.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

So you didn't like it?

---------- Post added at 23:29 ---------- Previous post was at 23:27 ----------

To me, it was just so bloody daft, even for a Bond movie.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It just seems like a follow on sequel as it is set an hour after Casino Royale.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

That's your opinion, & of course are entitled to it, but for me a Bond film just isn't the same without the gadgets. [or Desmond Llewelyn's portrayal of Q]

I admit that bit was a little OTT, but not enough to put me off adding it to my collection.

I've seen Bourne 1 & 2, & they were enjoyable enough in their own right, but to me Bond should stay "Bond", if you see what I mean.

I wasn't a huge fan of Casino Royale either.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

not seen it yet - waiting for Blu Ray so I can watch both back to back and I'm hoping by the time it reaches DVD there will be a directors cut which fixes it.

from what I've seen so far I'm disappointed - spoilers released to the press re the death/demise of characters and what the final showdown would be etc - all smacks of desperation to hype up the film.

---------- Post added at 10:58 ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 ----------

The invisible Aston Martin concept is based on an actual concept - but obviously I can't tell you any more as you aren't cleared for this.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:LOL:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...ible'.html

I hope you realise I'm breaking the official secrets act here (unless I whisper it to you).

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I am the opposite. I could watch them to waste a few hours, but they were never anywhere near a "must see" film for me. Now this Bond was a "must see" after seeing the last one. I really enjoyed the new one as well.

It would be interesting to see what people's reactions would be to the two new films, if Casino Royale was the very first Bond film made and it didn't have all the expectations that it had. What I mean is that Bond has a set checklist of what to expect and fans may feel let down because certain things were not done, whereas if the list were not there because, they may have loved the film. The film in itself, taken on it's own may be good, but because it didn't follow the franchise rules... :shrug: Who knows? That is just my opinion.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

If the Telegraph knew about it last year it's not much of a secret is it? ;) As for my previous comment, the :LOL: was in response to your comment about clearance, not the "based on an actual concept" part; I already knew stuff like that was being worked on.

Exactly. There are certain things that make a Bond film, & CR seemed to be missing a few too many of them.

Another issue I have with it is that the version of Bond played by whatshisface seems more like a slightly more refined/polished "Vinnie Jones" than a "James Bond". Bond's supposed to be classy, & to me whatshisface just didn't really manage it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

what destroyed Diet Another Day was the awful CGI and very averageness of the film in terms of production quality.

it was so obvious whenever there was a 'stunt' that it was done on green screen etc.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My point is that it in my opinion it should be taken as a separate film. To me, it's a good film in it's own right. Forget the past. Casino Royale took the character back to the start, when he first got his license. Rebirth, so to speak.

My point is if you get too preoccupied with rules, you might miss a good film. ;)

For me, Craig is the best Bond yet. :shrug:

This movies release in this country should have been straight to DVD if at all, can you imagine the Americans going to see a film called "Blair" they would probably think it was a Blair Witch Project sequel and walk out half way through.:D

Kes (1969) directed by Ken Loach

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064541/

I last saw this years ago on TV when I was a child. I remember it was striking that I recently bought the DVD to look again. It's about a scrawny lad growing up in Barnsley where everyone is trying to put him down. He finds solace in training a young kestrel that he has stolen from a nest. There's some great scenes of him training the bird to a lure. David Bradley who plays the boy, Billy, gives a tremendous performance that outshines everyone else - including Colin Welland who plays the sympathetic teacher and Brian Glover, the sadistic games master. (Several scenes of boys in showers - weren't they all skinny then!). The dialogue is very 'Bratford' so you'll need a keen ear to hear it all and the style is very TV orientated (not suprising since Ken Loach cut his teeth on Z-Cars). It's very dated but, IMHO, still a classic piece that is well worth watching.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw V - 6.5/10
Missus and I like all the Saw films. this one is ok if you like the others and want a continuation of the Saw story.
If you didn't like/haven't seen the other don't bother, as you won't like it/won't understand it.
it's more about the ppl, than the traps in this one, but it's still more or less more of the same.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Oldboy

10/10

Just...WOW...:D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Let's see.....last films I saw.....

Wanted: Utter tosh, worth it just for Angelina Jolie, but that's about it - 5/10

Iron Man: Not bad, Gwyneth Paltrow was easy on the eye, easy watching and some good action - 7/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Heh am going to see Wanted later :D

Indiana Jones - 8 out of 10. I liked it although some parts naturally were silly, like 60+ year old Indy gets punched, kicked and beaten by a man half his age, a foot taller and about 5 stone heavier yet he still manages to get up :rolleyes:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hot Nurses Vol 2

Acting was awful, but the action was good.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I enjoyed Wanted its brain in neutral stuff just switch off rational thought before you watch it

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Tropic Thunder, after a long wait to see it I thought it was pants
:(

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just saw Wanted. 7 out of 10 for the film (it lost a point for the twist you could see a mile off) but 10 out of 10 for the butt-shot of Angelina Jolie.

It has to be said though she's looking really skinny these days, I much preferred her curviness in Lara Croft.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought Wanted was awesome.

Stupid, utterly stupid. But awesome.



Oldboy rocks.


Have you seen Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance & Sympathy for Lady Vengeance?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Big Trouble In Little China - 9/10

A classic John Carpenter flick

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Ah, a great movie :tu:

Made back when John Carpenter did good movies...

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The last film I watched was 'Wall-E'

- hmm, tears of happiness during a cartoon - only nearly :angel:

- a brilliant example of how animation can make a 'character' - and I don't mean only Wall-E - the parasol that kept inverting should be careful of being type cast, though ;)

8/10

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I really wasnt expecting the twist near the end at all!

Yes, 2 more great movies :D

Nice to see other korean/asian cinema people on here...

Just watched R-Point, 7/10, Not what i expected it to be, but i really enjoyed it.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Body of Lies. 6/10. Crowe and the king of the world hamming up some political intrigue for the elder brother Scott. Enjoyable yet instantly forgettable.

Sweeny Todd. Undecided. Bought the dvd and enjoyed the special features more than the feature. Too much singing of songs that are funny but not very good. Great visuals, however.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just watched The Transporter. Don't know why I hadn't bothered to watch it before now, not sure what had put me off, but glad I watched it in the end. Quite enjoyable: funky soundtrack, plenty of great action, & of course a CAB [cute asian babe :naughty:].

How spooky is this?

This week's Book at Bedtime on Radio 4 is "A Kestrel for a Knave", the book on which Kes is based.

Confused? Look up a few posts

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You should also watch The Transporter 2 and then Transporter 3 when it reaches the cinema soon.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transporter 2 is on this Saturday, on Channel 4, so I'll probably watch it Sunday or Monday.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I hated transporter 2...

Just watched

Invisible Target

6/10

Poor english dub, great fight scenes but felt too much like it was kind of rushed.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transporter 2 was a very poor sequel. I think Crank is a much better film. I'd give that at least 8 out of 10.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Unbelievably Jason Statham returns in Crank 2 click here

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

And Transporter 3 at the end of this year ! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129442/synopsis

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

You never know, transporter could go the same route as die hard...

1 being great!

2 being crap!

3 being great!

Just watched romancing the stone

5/10

Tacky, bored me, i remember it being slightly better...anyone remember it?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah. I loved it as a kid... but haven't seen it in years.


Quantum of Solace

8/10

I don't think it's as good as Casino Royale (although it is faster paced & doesn't have CR's slow bits), but I still very much enjoyed it.

Daniel Craig *is* Bond.

---------- Post added at 00:58 ---------- Previous post was at 00:35 ----------


I'm sure I read a while back about a special edition DVD of Oldboy which came with a little replica claw hammer, lol!

Googling turns up nothing though. Maybe it never came out.


Have just looked up R-Point - sounds interesting :tu:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

What about 4? ;)

I remember it, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. I saw it not so long back for the first time in ages, but I still like it :) lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

IYO ;) For me, it's a toss-up between Tim Dalton & Pierce Brosnan.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Sounds like a mucky film....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I said up, not off. :p:

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I actually thought Timothy Dalton was a very good Bond (and pretty much underated as Bond), but I do like Daniel Craig. I prefer the way the bond films are going now, there's more seriousness to it, the fight scenes a bit more gritty.

The only question I have is, who would win in a fight. Bond or Bourne?

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

They would both be equally trained so it would be a good match. From what ive seen from the movies Bourne has more technical expertise and uses a lot more locks breaks and grappling than Bond. It would be a very interesting fight. ;)


Jet Li would do both of em lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Max Payne

Good movie, seemed a bit random in places. It could certainly of been better and had more action.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Does that mean Mel Gibson would beat them both? :D

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Somehow me thinks not lol

re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Nah, he'd just get drunk & start slinging racial slurs.
