AFAIK, the original script for (what became) Ocean's 12 was actually intended as a "heist movie" for John Woo to direct. It fell through, & the script got bodged into being a sequel for Ocean's 11.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I just bought 'Caligula' as part of a 'two for £10' deal at tesco - it was considered very risquÃÃâ€*’©, at the time ?

- the picture quality is crap, and the sound isn't much better, however there is Helen Mirren :naughty: :D

luckily 'Ghostbusters', the second disk, was worth the 'deal' alone :tu:

classic - 8/10 :)

- Caligula would be about a 4/10 :angel:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Not so much the last movie i saw but one that i have watched several times and more recently on Sunday.

Schindlers List.

Cannot really give it any marks out of ten as it goes way beyond this but if really pressed would give 10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Thunderbirds - 5/10.... Better than I expected. I did like the puppet hand hidden away near the end of the film.

Wing Commander - 6/10.... Not as bad as I expected, but the Kilrathi were a bit tame.

----------------

I'm about to sit and watch Garfield, wish me luck :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

No, but you have my sympathies.

I watched it over Xmas and thought it was dire.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Anyone seen hotel Rwanda yet? I really want to see that

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I've just seen "Saw". Hmmm...It passed the time...that's all I can say about it... :shrug:

Cary Elwes' acting should get a golden raspberry for his performance.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Watched Resident Evil 2 last night on DVD.
Thought it was really good.
Great effects, great storyline, true to the games.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The Blues Brothers (Director's Cut)


Absolute classic :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

spartan with Val Kilmer - a David Mamet thriller - excellent.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hero <yawn> :sleeping:

The Grudge - Not too bad, rescued a bit by the fact that Sarah Michelle Geller is in it :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

i had a bit of a dvd fest today watched "bridget jones, edge of reason" which is fantastic.... even my feller enjoyed it when we saw it at the cinema for my birthday.
also watched "the sweetest thing"... it's a comedy with cameron diaz in. very funny in places... if you've ever seen it the song they sing in the chinese restuarant is catchy and very funny

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ladder 49:

It's okay, not brilliant and the storyline is pretty weak but it's watchable. Not as good as Backdraft though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hide and Seek

I found it a bit boring but had one or two jumpy bits in it - however she was cowering behind her handbag for most of the film :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I took my nephew to see Are we there yet? yesterday. Cheesey kids film is all I'm going to say... ;)

I also watched Alien v Predator today. Not good, but not bad, though a million miles behind the 1st two alien films and the first predator film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw Hotel Rwanda on Friday. Really poignant film, similar to Schindler's List. Once again there is a needless genocide after the world has vowed many times that atrocities like these should never be allowed to happen.

Good film - 9 out of 10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ok watched the following last night

One for the road : In ower view total waste of a DVD and a total waste of energy loading it into the DVD player.........Even got a refund it was that bad and they front the Full Monty as an advert to sell this ????

Collateral : Seems to be good but lacks scripting the basis is 100% but the little pieces that fall fowl stick out a mile away (if you know what I mean) but well recommended for Tom Cruise fans....

Alien Vs Preditor : 100% if you are into that sort of thing, I would like to see the follow up movie/s has they have left this wide open...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Watched Layer Cake this evening, totally blew me away.

Definately one to buy and watch.

The ending is fantastic!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Constantine.....

Average 5/10

edit - Just to add I did TRY and watch Garfield, but my brain turned to mush so I had to turn it off - therefore minus5/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Constantine 9/10
If you look closely you can actually see Keanu acting!
If you like Hellblaizer, you'll enjoy this, although if you're a die hard fan you may get a bit upset that they didn't do some of his deals and scheme's the same as in the comic, but hey, the movie can only be so long (course the irish stout/holy water bit would have been good)


Now what we need is a good Preacher movie

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Constantine. 6.5/10 Twas ok, nothing spectacular.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

AvP 6/10

Could have added more action into it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

It'd be brilliant if they did a Preacher movie...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Freeze Frame ............ 3/10 - trying to be too clever for its own good. A very dark thriller which is difficult to watch

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

sky captain and the world of tomorrow, chessy, but fun!!!!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (was on C4 this afternoon!)


Stupid, cheesy, & not true to the series it's based on, but still enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

rather bizarrely, the fat slags movie. It has a decent cast, but it's the biggest load of ****e i've seen in a long time. Not that i expected any different. MONEY was spent on this p.o.s. The things i could do with a HUNDREDTH of their budget... *******s.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The Forgotten - had huge potential but instead was very disappointing. Crappy ending.

Walking Tall - your standard american hard-man action comedy. Passable.

Layer Cake - good film but confusing with all the double crossing, very surprising ending, didn't see it coming.

OMG..good movie
 

just watched "saw". What an excellent film!! Not for the faint hearted though....lol

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

'The Grudge'

Should have renamed it 'The Crap'.

Re: OMG..good movie
 

Sorry, but when the villain appears in a boxer's gown, it just made me laugh :) It was a bit cheesey :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Last movie i saw was dead man's shoes. Excellent film. I'd recommend it to those who can stomach the violence.

Before that was Creep. It's nice, if gorey. Not a bad example of a horror. I got the uncensored version of saw the other day, might watch it later.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Blade Trinity It is what it is another Blade movie nice birds though lol lol

The Ring 2..........Total rubbish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

That bad? - I was gonna go see that :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ooops, sorry about that.

Let me add there were people talking in front of us, to the side of us, and behind us as well !!!

That didn't help you understand.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Took the kids to see Valiant yesterday.

Short & sweet - made me laugh, some good cameos from Ricky Gervais, John Cleese, etc. One to see if you've got kids and a couple of hours to kill.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I watched this the other night. Did you know that the original translation of the title was 'The Steaming Great Jobbie', but apparently it didn't fit on the posters!

Saw Sahara at the cinema yesterday - totally Indiana Jones-lite, but a good way to waste a couple of hours. 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Two birds, one stone.

Kill the kids, drag it out so it lasts two hours.

Last thing i saw was Be Cool. Biggest big-budget lot of **** i've seen in a long time. What were the stars thinking? IT's just awful. Dialogue's crap, acting's ropey (probably down to the script, mind - the actors involved, i have respect for) and it's just a waste of 2 hours of my life. I could've spent those two hours murdering children like aragorn.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I'm so glade you said that thought it was just me. I thought it was a very good film but hard to follow.

8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Dark City

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0118929/

From Alex Proyas, the director of "The Crow"

Not seen it in ages. Forgotten how great it is. 8/10 :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Totally agree, it was awful compared to the first one. However, the fact that naomi watts is in it makes up for its dreadfulness :)

I recently watched Birth & White Noise and both are just as bad. I can't believe that people can rate these films as good when they clearly aren't but hey, there's no accounting for taste :) I had to fast forward through alot of Birth because it was just so boring and how they can think anyone would believe that a grown woman would fall in love with a 10 year old boy simply because she thinks he's her dead husband :erm:

Sin City - 6/10: It's not as good as some people will lead you to believe however it is enjoyable but it is about 20 mins too long as it starts to get boring near the end, a bit shorter and it would have scored higher. Now I can't believe I'm writing this but IMO Mickey Rourke stole the show :Yikes: His character was the most interesting and funny and he played it very well, hopefully this won't be a trend he keeps up because I can't stand the guy. I didn't expect all the violence but it kept my interest :D The biggest problem I have with the film is that there is no real storyline, it's just three different stories that happen to span a similar time frame in Sin City but expect several sequels.

Now I've seen a fair few films over the past months but none have come close to matching the quality of Seabiscuit. If you haven't seen it, do yourselve a favour and watch it, it is a brilliant film 10/10 :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just sat through The Ring (1st one not 2nd one) on Sky...

/me is still scratching head a lot :dunce:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Lemony Snickets A Series Of Unfortunate Events


Jim carrey Rocks excellent film for all ages except very young

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

He's been great in a few things recently.

Spun was excellent, and he shone, man on fire was also brilliant, and he was good in it, and while once upon a time in mexico was pretty dull, mickey rourke was good in it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Collateral


Wasn't sure about this at first (Tom Cruise annoys me), but it really is very good.

Well made, with a very good cast (Cruise is actually really good as a bad-guy, & he & Foxx are great together).

Although I think the ending wasn't as good as the rest of the film.

But definitely worth a watch :tu:



xXx 2: The Next Level (aka State of the Union)

Sequel to the Vin Diesel action spy film, but with Ice Cube instead of Diesel.

Stupid. Extremely stupid.

But...fun to watch, if you're not looking for anything deep or clever.

Lots of action, lots of things blowing up. And there's a funny set-piece with a tank & an aircraft carrier catapult...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

...and what did you think of it? ;) :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

its okay too american espically wen a chasing after the bullet train i mean i wat the hell how can that possibly happen

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Cube Zero - 7/10 - Not nearly as bad as I expected and better than no.2

Species III - 4/10 - Crap. (nuff said ;))

When Worlds Collide - 10/10 - Old, but sheer brilliance. (Now if only I had forbidden planet on DVD)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Starwars Episode III - If you go and see one film this year go and see this. Gets into the action right from the start and is the darker more dramatic starwars that the two previous films never lived upto.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Hitchhiker's ...

Very good, thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt happier with the significant departures from the radio series and the book knowing that the script was by Douglas Adams. It is definitely a 'based on' rather than an adaption, but even so some of the lines from the original have translated almost directly to the film and they're just deliciously well done.

The overall impression I got was very Pythonesque, especially as it starts with a choral piece called 'So long, and thanks for all the fish!' that reminded me very much of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

The bloke next to me was lapping it up and was obviously a major H2G2 nut. Mrs T knows nothing of the books isn't really a Douglas Adams fan. She said she thought it was 'quite amusing' but she would categorise it as 'worth renting the DVD' rather than 'deinitely see it at the cinema'.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just back from Ep 3.

Wow. What a film. It manages to pull almost all the threads of the story together. Just a few dodgy moments but overall a very enjoyable film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

House of the Flying Daggers

Biggest pile of sh**e I've seen in a loooooooooooooooong time.....

Ocean's Twelve

Only managed not to be the biggest pile of sh**e I've seen in a long time because of House of the Flying Daggers

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace


Not bad. Better than I remembered (apart from Jar Jar).

Pity Darth Maul wasn't used more.


Star Wars, Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Pretty good. Worth seeing just for the Yoda/Dooku fight, & the scene when the clone troopers first see some action.


Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

OMFG! I wasn't expecting much, but I actually really enjoyed this (mostly).

The story, although not great, was better than that of EpII (which was better than that of EpI).

Acting & script... not too hot, but better than the first two, & not really any worse than in the original trilogy.

Action, special effects, battles, lightsaber duels, etc.... Wicked :D :D :D

Ian McDiarmid was especially great as Palpatine.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

watched Kingdom of Heaven last week, kinda reminded me of Braveheart, i rate it at 6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I've been on an eastwood trip of late, so the last thing i watched was Heartbreak Ridge.

Classic Eastwood, and some FANTASTIC snappy dialogue, especially the opening scenese in jail.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Alien Nation.

Not too bad.

I'm glad they went with different actors in the TV series tho.

6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The Manchurian Candidate.

Pretty good, a little lazy in places but very watchable none the less.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Star War, Episode IV - A New Hope

Not the best of the saga, but still the original & still a classic :D


The original one, with Sinatra, or the remake, with Denzel Washington?


(both are good IMO)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

The remake

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I saw the end on total recall last night, i used to watch it when i was a little kiddie, i don't remember that much blood though! Quite gross really, im surprised i turned out as well as i did watching that when i was little:Yikes: My mums a big horror fan so im sure im disensitised to it by now ;)

Still its a good film, hasnt aged to much accept for the bad acting when people get shot, lol, they all make the same "argh" noise and jump in the air :disturbd: anyhoo 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Sin City

(free preview screening on Weds courtesy of an offer in the Grauniad :) )


http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/


Brilliant adaptation of Frank Miller's "Sin City" comics, directed by Miller & Robert Rodriguez. Good story, looks amazing, & the cast is great.

Definitely worth watching :tu:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Really want to see this one, can't wait.

Never read the comics - would like to though. Anyone know if they're any good?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I'm going to see that tomorrow. I'm a newbie to the story, but the trailers look good.

I saw Millions yesterday. It's okay, quirkie enough at the start to keep you watching.

Also saw Revenge of the Sith again :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I saw Sin City today. I thought that it was good. Different. :)

Good old Marv :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

They're very good :)


Miller is great. A couple of his other graphic novels which are also worth reading are "Batman: Year One" & "Batman: Dark Knight Returns".

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Anybody seen Ong-Bak. Crap story, dialogues to editing is all non sense. However i :ninja: few stunts though they are repeated until you start noticing who is sitting next to you. I will give it 4/10 :td:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

mr and mrs smith:

what an excellent movie good script and dialogue, the air of a finely tuned slightly comedic angle to serious situations made it a very pleasurable action packed experiance.

plenty of high tech electronics and weapons plus explosions.

8.9 out of 10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I saw that this evening at the cinema too...

great film, a little slow at the beginning and at a few times in the film.. did take a while to get to the good stuff... Kronas sums it up nicely would agree... but i'd only give it an 9 out of 10 for the slowness at times...

also this versions seems to have been cut a fair ammount there were talks before of lots of "sexy scenes" these musta be removed cos everyone kept there clothes on...

one question tho... is this a 12 or 15 :S... as we walked in the sign above the door said 15 but people told me it was a 12... not sure...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Star Wars 3 - yesterday - 9/10. :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

We watched Criminal tonight, and thought it was great.

Funny, twisty, and just a generally great film. If you like Matchstick Men, which i really enjoyed, you'll like this even more.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Elektra - stupid plot/dumb script. I cant elaborate without spoiling the plot 'twist'.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this weekend. First time I've seen them. Very wierd !!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Ok - so my last week at work I watched the following films (and score) :-

Red Planet - 5/10
Dune - 6/10
28 Days Later - 7/10 (5/10 if it had gone out with the alternative ending)
Ghost Ship - 5/10
Timecop 2 : The Berlin Decision - 4/10
Equilbrium - 6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched Football Factory. Excellent film, 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

it is a 15 the certificate on the screen said so :)

yes i agree the beginning is slow but i think it more than made up by the quality of the movie overall which was excellent, im just a sucker fo certain eloquent styles of movie presentation in script :p:

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

50 first dates, that film was so funny!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Closer - a bit rude, and very weird, but boring and a bit pointless IMO.

But either way, Clive Owen :drool: phwoooaaarrr!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Down girl....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Yep. Boring characters, and nothing likeable about them. Nothing to make me want to care about them, which would be ok if they weren't boring. We don't learn all that much about any of them, and i'm not sure i'd want to...

Clive Owen's at least twisted enough to extract a laugh, and of course Portman is lovely throughout, but generally it's crap.

There are a few little quirks throughout that are interesting, but not from a story point of view, really - it's more about how they made the film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I just watched the original version of the fly....

It was actually better than I had expected.

7/10

p.s. dilli was quite scared by the fake spider at the end...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

I was confused as to why you said "original version". There's no remake. I see, though, that there's one planned, right enough.

Gotta ask, why? The original is OK. I can't see what a sequel will achieve. Think how many "Dead Man's Shoes", for example, they could make for the same money... Sickens me that new actors, writers, and directors are missing out on chances to show what they can do because hollywood is a closed shop, recycling mediocre old films for braindead cinema-goers these days.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...

Batman Begins...

I liked it. Not as flashy than the ones before, darker, which for me, was good. 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

And I actually paid money to see that....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

aah, so the one i saw :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379788/

is a re-remake. I wasn't aware that the Goldblum one was a remake. Cheers, i've learned something. And had it confirmed to me that hollywood people are lazy as hell...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

A remake of a remake - now that IS sad - I'll give you that :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Saw Batman begins on Thursday night.


Brilliant. Best Batman movie ever.

9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Star Wars Ep 5, THe Empire Strikes Back.

It was ok (was a few stupid things in it, like noone in the Millenium Falcon wear seatbelts, but the ship does sumassaults and 360 degree vertical rolls, and noone moves about. Oh and those ships heavy blasters couldn't penetrate the skin of an Imperial Walker, but a light sabre could? And since when do asteroids have gravitational pulls and a pressurised atmosphere?), but it was nothing amazing.

I'll probably watch Ep 6 now, but Ep 5 was nowhere near as good as Ep 4.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Inertial Dampening?

Lightsabres are probably imbibed with some of the "force" of the owner.

Ummmm.....ok..........well...............I give up :shrug: , not a clue.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched Star Wars Ep 6 - The Return Of The Jedi. It was OK, just like Ep5, but nothing amazing. Certainly nowhere near as good as Ep4.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
 

Just watched Shrek 2 (yes, I know, I am 24).

I can't say it was better than the original, but ever bit as good. It is less laugh out loud funny, but the story is better, it is more cleverer. 8.5/10
