A place to discuss the latest movies and films... or indeed your favourite Movie/Film of all time :biggrin:

I have just watched Number 23... which was rather odd. It was unusual to see Jim Carey play a serious role - and whilst refreshing, I was expecting him to crack a joke - and he didn't. A very dark movie but would give it 7/10.

Final Destination 1,2 and 3 were all very good...
i laughed when the kid was squished by the plate glass :razz:

I think Saw III was good. It was sad when the man messed up at the last and was not going to be able to find his daughter =(.

Spiderman 3 is coming out soon too, im really interested in going to see it.. that's my choice new movie of the summer

Silent Hill was a good move. They actually made all the monsters look almost real.

True Romance is my all time favourite film absolutely love it along with other neo-noir films such as Sin City.

Looking forward to Spidy 3 too. Saw the trailer a while back had he goes evil which should be interesting :D

Saw Hard Luck (2006 with Wesley Snipes) the other day which I throughly enjoyed, I looked it up on IMDB and must say I think it's very underrated!

i've never heard of true romance or saw hard luck.. but if you say they're good maybe ill check them out ;)

oh man i could spend hours writing on this thread. but for now:

Natural born killers
The usual suspects
The abyss
Lock stock and two smoking barrels

I'll post some more once i fetch my list from imdb

I recently watched Blood Diamond at the cinema. Great film!!
Wasn't how i expected to be honest but the whole film was fantastic and Leo's acting was top notch! Definately recommend :biggrin:

BTW.....has anyone seen Children of men?

I hate to be such a girly movie lover but my fave film of all time is Amelie. I give it 10/10

There's been loads that I've wanted to see recently but haven't gotten around to it so I'm guessing my dvd collection's going to rise when they come out!

I recently watched Blood Diamond at the cinema. Great film!!

I saw it too! It really was a great film! My eyes were watering within the first 5 minutes of the film. It was quite "real" in a way, because it happens, no doubt about it :sad:

The other guy - Djimon Hounsou (http://imdb.com/name/nm0005023/) was really good too (Also from "Gladiator")

I can't help but pronounce his first name as digimon :embarrassed:

I've just seen Wolf Creek.

/hides behind sofa

was wolf creek any good?

Its kinda like hostal/saw/roadtripy thing

If thats any help

ooooooh... all good movies :smile:

Its worth a watch..

My brother just got saw3, anyone seen it and is it as scary as the others?

I don't like horror movies :eek: I normally run out screaming my head off after half an hour :embarrassed:

I am taking my mum and mother-in-law to see The Queen tomorrow night (special rerun as our Helen won an Oscar :biggrin:). I have already seen it, and enjoyed it immensely then, so am looking forward to seeing it again :biggrin:

I havent yet seen the queen, but i want to so ill go at the weekend:razz:

I saw the School for Scoundrels the other night - I am embarrassed to say that as the cinema wasn't very full (only about ten other people), my husband and I were the only ones laughing hysterically at some of the scenes. It was a very good film, but I have the feeling that it only appeals to some people (perhaps those with a weird sense of humour :razz:)

I hate to be such a girly movie lover but my fave film of all time is Amile. I give it 10/10

I love that film! Gotta be in my top 5 list.

/me has just noticed a spelling error but nvm!
I'm so glad someone else has seen it. I usually get blank looks :eek: I knew I always liked you :biggrin:

/me can't wait for Shrek 3 to surface this year.

I've tried to get friends to watch it before but they think if a film has subtitles it makes it a bad film. Foooooooools!!!!

I found after a little while that you don't actually realise you're reading subtitles. I think everyone should watch it at least once, I mean come on, it's such a great movie. My favourite scene is when she changes the greengrocers flat around *insert evil laugh here*

* Facey;69964 can't wait for Shrek 3 to surface this year.

It's about time :D
And there's another Harry Potter film coming out this year. Someone may have already said that.. I don't know. (:

'Tis true. Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix is rumoured to be released either for Summer or later on in the year (around October-ish).

And with the new Harry Potter book due out in July... I for one will certainly be all wizarded out :razz:

i like the books.. but the movies are nice too, to see where my imagination stands and where it is different from the author/director of the movie

I recently watched The Illusionist. It was very good, and had quite the twist.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a horror or horror-comedy.. but the website it freaking me out. I want to go see it with some friends.. can't find out what cert. it is.
Anyone know anything about it?


Warning: Website is scarrryy. You have been warned.

There was a cliffhanger at the end of Pirates 2 :razz:

I know there was... but I thought that was it!! The End....

Gahh... got to love the cliff hangers :razz:

Did anyone see TMNT? It was actually quite good. :)

Loved the different actors supplying voices... Mako (MHRIP), Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patrick Stewart...

Anyone seen Premonition?
Know if it's any good?

That's the one with Sandra Bullock? Haven't seen it yet. Looks good though =)

New Die Hard (http://specials.uk.msn.com/diehard4/default.aspx) (4) trailer..

I recognise the "kid" from the trailer, but I can't place him...

I can't either.. but he looks like Keanu Reeves when he was younger!

That's the one with Sandra Bullock? Haven't seen it yet. Looks good though =)

That's the one.
It looks really good - am hoping to see it tomorrow.

Okay - so Mr Bean.. I'm trying to avoid it. He annoys the hell outta me. I couldn't stand 2 hours of "mmhmmmm. mmmmMMmhmmmm."
Eaaaghh.

Did anyone see it?

I heard they were going to continue with it after this third one. Even though the book is a trilogy!
There's a new film out called Shooter (http://www.shootermovie.com/main.html) which is very similar to the Bourne series.......just with Mark Walhberg. Still looks good though.

Now this film i cannot wait to watch!
Rush Hour 3 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=mPCrfsVzjyk) :biggrin: :biggrin:

Rush Hour 3!? I hadn't heard anyyyyything about this movie!

Thanks for the link Tigeress! :biggrin:

i just watched You, Me, and Dupreee for the first time tonight.. it was pretty highlarious...
i loved the mock trailor for it in the extras..
any one else see this movie? :razz:

i've seen it. hah, the part where Dupree is distracting the security guy at the end is pretty good.

i recently saw Casino Royale, bits of The Prestige and Eragon, Happy Feet, Deja Vu and Night at the Museum.

Has anyone seen NEXT with Nicolas Cage yet?

Not yet Quiksilver, but its next on the list - looks pretty good.

Watched 'The Departed' the other day, that was a good flick.

Watched 'The Departed' the other day, that was a good flick.

That's such a guy film. Though i thought it was good too :razz:

Spiderman 3 is out next week, wooooooo! :biggrin:

i recently saw Casino Royale, bits of The Prestige and Eragon, Happy Feet, Deja Vu and Night at the Museum.

Btw, if anyone hasn't seen Night At The Museum yet, get with it! It's a great movie. A really decent family film that is enjoyed by both kids and adults. :) It seemed to remind me a bit of Toy Story and Jumaji, lol. And it's funny too! Get on it! :P

Has anyone seen NEXT with Nicolas Cage yet?
No - I'd like to, although it didn't get great reviews

Yess, a brilliant film!
Looks pretty dull, but is very funny - Ricky Gervais is fantastic!

I saw 50 First Dates the other week, it was absolutely brilliant - I thought it was some kind of cheesey rom-com but it really isn't - & the end is so moving!

I saw 'Next' last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it and Nicholas Cage... well.. he just gets better and better :razz:

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/TempusFugitFun/next.gif


Clicky Here (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/next/) for the trailer!

has anyone seen the latest SpiderMan yet? i saw the second one recently, i thought it was overdue, and i thought it was absolutely awful.

like, the part where the Doctor says "you have to drown [the ball of energy] into the river [or it'll destroy the whole city]"

dude. it's ENERGY. not FIRE.

Haven't seen it, don't intend to.

Apparently spiderman turns emo.

From what I've heard.

sort of.. something from space hits him, and it's some kind of superpower, and it tries to take over him or something... i'm just going to see it because i've seen the first two.

i can't wait for: Pirates 3, Ocean's 13, Shrek 3 (sort of). but i really really can't wait for Pirates. oh, and Harry Potter 5 is coming out soon. and the book two. ack.

i recently saw Vacancy. it's this creepy hotel where they brutally murder people and record it... it wasn't too scary by some people's standards, but i was scared during Return of the King.

i was so scared of going to bed that night because i was afraid i'd get nightmares because Vacancy is pretty gory, so i borrowed my friend's iPod Video, and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Little Miss Sunshine.

Little Miss Sunshine is HILARIOUS. and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is good, Johnny Depp rocks as Willy Wonka. they're both must-sees.

Ooh Shrek 3, I'm really looking forward to!
& Harry Potter.
& Pirates.

& the HP book.

Andddddd I still wanna see premonition. But I don't know if it's still showing.

Apparently spiderman turns emo.


lol true! I couldn't concentrate on the movie because I kept thinking 'Why on earth is he wearing eyeliner?'
I like Batman better anyway:twisted:

Ooh Shrek 3, I'm really looking forward to!


Me too me too! i CAAAAN'T wait !!!


Oh and btw , can't wait for Evan Almighty either.

Recently watched a DVD called Hostel. If you want blood and loads of senseless gore with virtually no semblance of a plot - this is the video for you.

Drinking with the father in law on Saturday night and talk got around to cars and great movies with cars in them. So next Saturday Night it's off to the in-laws place for beer, pizza, Bullitt and Gone in 6 Seconds.

I really hated Hostel... bloody awful. And I was looking forward to it too... hyped... Tarantino... I thought it was going to be fantastic! But I think BMs review does the film justice.

Pants.

Drinking with the father in law on Saturday night and talk got around to cars and great movies with cars in them. So next Saturday Night it's off to the in-laws place for beer, pizza, Bullitt and Gone in 6 Seconds.

I've not seen that one! Is it similar to Gone in 60 Seconds, only 54 seconds shorter? :razz:

Hehehe, Eleanor <3

okay, just got back from the theatre. we watched Shrek 3, and i thought it was pretty great. the best out of the three. or at least the funniest.

the basic story outline: (i'll put it in spoiler tags, but i don't think i've ruined anything. sorry if i have.)

the king of Far Far Away dies, leaving Shrek and Fiona to rule. but he gives a name of an alternate heir, a guy named Arthur that happens to still be in high school. Shrek goes to find Arthur, knowing that as an ogre, he's not exactly fit to rule. Fiona stays home, now pregnant, with a bunch of bratty fairy tale princesses. Prince Charming takes over the castle while Shrek is gone and sends some of his minions after Shrek and Arthur.

ah, this was definitely the funniest yet. there's this part where Shrek is trying to relate to Arthur to try to make him feel better, and he's using this high school slang... oh, goodness. then there was this other part where Charming is questioning Pinnochio, and he's asking him questions about where Shrek and Fiona are, and Pinnochio finds ways of wording his answers so that no one understands him and he doesn't lie. absolutely hilarious.

/me tries to hard to not read that spoiler...

It hasn't been released over here yet... *googles*
29th of June.

No fairrr.
You got it already!

We're going to the cinema on Wednesday to see the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean back to back. Yay!

I didn't even know there WAS a Shrek 3...

So, someone must have seen POTC3 by now.
Is it any good? (without giving the plot away!)

I'm going either Weds or Thurs. Vik's seen it but she's just gone on two week hols!! I'm looking forward to hearing how Barbossa's still around...

Fy can i just say thank you the Die Hard 4.0 trailer been waiting for this film to come out since i heard they were making it. love the other 3, classic willis.

also the kid in Die Hard is also in Dodgeball and i think i spied Kevin Smith in the trailer(he's a brilliant writer and fantastic as silent bob)

My favorite film ever has to be Boondock Saints, i will be surprised if any one has heard of it but definately worth tracking down and watching.

i also suggest:
three kings
unleashed
hot fuzz
and ...when harry met sally
something for every mood :biggrin:

Grr, still another month. I love the Shrek movies :)
And gracie, I'm going to watch it (when it comes out), with the expectation that it is better than the other two, so it better well be! lol
/me read the spoiler. Oops :razz:

Shrek 3 hasn't come out for you guys yet?

i suppose... that Shrek 3 was just funny. it didn't have any of the... like... good, uplifting values that the last two had. i mean, there's a really really stupid scene where they keep pretending someone dies just for laughs...

it was funny.



PIRATES THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. it's amazing.

okay. BEST OF THE THREE. and i won't revoke that, like i just sort of did with Shrek!

this movie is really REALLY one that you should see in the theatre just for the sound effects and the big screen, it's soooooooo good. my heart was going so hard during the fight scenes... and if you watched the second Pirates, remember how the fight scenes had humour integrated into them? yeah, this movie does the same thing, only more of it. and better. Jack's dad makes a very brief appearance, and he calls Jack "Jacky." made me laugh.

i urge you all to GO SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN.

and you can tell there's going to be a fourth one. and apparently, the actors have all been signed on till a sixth one... that sounds a bit crazy, but i think people would keep going to see them!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD.

6? Oh man, that's a lot.
I should probably watch the first one.. I saw the 2nd one last year (private screening :P) & hopefully will see the 3rd one soon..

But I was babysitting last night for some people who went to see it, & they were like "Oh we should be back by half tenn-ish," and I said "You know it's almost 3 hours long?" .. Ooh the looks on their faces!
Then they came home & actually said they hadn't enjoyed it..

I'm watching Pirates 3 in an Hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I'm like SOOOO excited dudes!!!!!!! Yeeeeeepeeeeeeee!! Bring it on Johnny!!!!

*Ahem*

Can you tell i'm excited? :razz: :biggrin:

i saw pirates 3 on wednesday and have to say, was a bit to long for my liking, however i have just got back from watching oceans thirteen and i was fab, very funny and very subtle as always
gotta love watching Brad pitt and George Clooney on screen together

yeah i found Pirates 3 VERY disappointing!!! :sad:
It was too long and just seemed to drag on and on and on. The last hour picked up a lot and was the best part of the film. The only thing that got me through was how fit Orlando Bloom was! :razz:

I loved pirates three. I didn't even notice that it was 3 hours!! I'm not one for long movies and actually moaned about it pre-dinner. Our cinema's showing a few screenings a day with a 15 mins interval :razz: It's honestly not that long though. You don't notice. I felt sorry for the guys that walk out as the credits are rolling. You...miss...the...end...bit...! Was that slow enough? :biggrin:

I loved the first two Pirates. Only tollerated the third one. And yes I did stay til the end.
I love Pirates!

i think my problem with pirates 3 is that i really needed to pee half way through, and before we went in the guy said there may be a 10 minute interval, so i though i would wait for that for my toilet break but NO it never came!!!!!grrr and i didnt want to go during the movie as i thought i might miss something.
Also my other half nearly choked to death in a minstrel half way through, i found this more entertaining than the movie unfortunately


P.S less than a month till Die Hard 4.0

I finally saw Die Hard!!!
I bought the box set in HMV for, wait for it....£10!!!!
And what a great film:smile:

i watched Big Nothing the other day, i would highly recommend it to you all, tis very funny

Saw Oceans 13 recently and it was a lot better than 12.

Going to see Shrek 3 tomorrow night (:

I watched the remake of pyscho last night, all set in modern times, still as bloodthirsty.
Had some well know actors in it as well, although you cant never really beat the original. this was a good performance:razz:

Took my kids to see Shrek the third last night and all three of us were disappointed. My 12 year old kept asking when it was going to end:sad: A few chuckles but nothing compared to the first two.

Dreamgirls.... Great cast.... good acting ... very slick.........couldn't wait for it to end and didn't give a damn about any of the characters by that point.

The pursuit of happyness (yes it's supposed to be spelt wrong)
Lovely film I enjoyed every last minute of it. Great understated performance by Will Smith. One to watch

Just been to see Shrek 3..
It wasn't bad, I guess, but not as good as the others IMO.

Plus it didn't really help that my chair seemed to be tilted forward, & I was in a stupidly bad mood going into it.


Oh, and while I was at the cinema, I noticed a poster up saying that Pirates 3now has a 10 minute intermission in the middle "For your comfort."

=]

The Third (and final) Boure Identity type film..

The Bourne Ultimatum (http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/thebourneultimatum/)

Trailer looks good =)

Alsoooooo:

American Gangster (http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/americangangster/) with Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe. Looks good too! =D

We watched Ghost Rider a few days ago. It was.. umm.. :S
I don't even know what the plot was, as I lost interest in the first 5 minutes...
Other than the few nice graphics bits.. it was pretty dreadful.

Die Hard 4.0 was everything i wanted it to be. looking forward to the bourne ultimatum next

Spidey 3
Shrek 3
Oceans 13
Pirates 3
Die Hard 4
Bourne 3

What is wrong with hollywood..
Have they forgotten how to come up with fresh stuff?

dont forget rush hours 3 saw the trailor for that the other day,lol

and rambo 6

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (http://chuckandlarry.com)

Adam Sandler AND Kevin James! :biggrin:

oh dear. . .avoiding that one then.

i used too like adam sandler but he plays the same part every single film (very innocent nice guy with an edge of violence) and it's worn far too thin now. . . .

click was the last straw. what a load of ♥♥♥♥. Had an ending that we all spotted in the first 10 minutes. . .who wants too watch a film like that!

I know I'm definitely gonna watch it, I've always been a fan of Adam's(!)
Plus, I love that show 'The King of Queens',
and although I didn't quite liked Hitch,I think Kevin is hilarious !
But yeah, clunge , when it comes to comedy you either hate it or love it huh. :)

.who wants too watch a film like that!


/me yells OH I DOOO!

Anyone seen the new Transformers movie yet?

in a word Fy no but i'm sure my other half will drag me to see it. but when the car turns into the robot is doesn't look like it's to scale and i think thats gonna bug me, sad i know

in a word Fy no but i'm sure my other half will drag me to see it. but when the car turns into the robot is doesn't look like it's to scale and i think thats gonna bug me, sad i know

LOL! You sound like my cousin :biggrin:

I saw Hannibal Rising the other day. It wasn't as fantastic as i thought it was going to be but it was still ok. Some areas seem to drag on...and the whole movie just seemed very slow.
Plus there wasn't enough gore!!!! And no tension.
Seeing as it didn't show how Hannibal got arrested...i assume there will be another film :biggrin:

I rented and watched "Thank you for smoking". Decent movie if you ask me, quite funny if you like dark humour.

Also, may i suggest another classic: "Bringing out the dead". Dark humour too. Hilarious.

I saw it! (Transformers)

It was good. Cool Camaros and Muscley Mustangs (Saleen).... That's plenty Eye-candy for the likes of me =D

It was a good film! Great CG effects! Definitely worth a trip to the cinema.

There's lots of cool Military/Out-of-space type equipment up for show, so it's probably gonna be one for the guys.....

Saw Harry Potter last night, it was really good, the best one yet I'd say :)

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good too.

Saw most of Bride & Prejudice on saturday, but I was babysitting & they got home 10 minutes before the end, so I have no idea what happened.
It was really good, aside from the fact that they kept bursting into song. Those parts were truly awful.

But if anyone knows what happens at the end...?

Saw Harry Potter last night, it was really good, the best one yet I'd say :)

Agreed. Yates really managed to capture the essence of the book didn't he? The department of mysteries was exactly as i had pictured it. And Luna Lovegood, she cracked me up.

Saw Harry Potter last night and the special effects were amazing. Am I the only one who thought Luna Lovegood would turn out to be Malfoy's sister though?

i read the book, so i know she's not his sister :razz: but that would be an odd twist though :twisted:

I watched 'Deja Vu' today. Gotta love Denzie! Awesomely great film :D Very, very clever! And confusing.. heh. I love smart/clever films :)

We went to see Harry Potter this evening. Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!! :biggrin: Even Mr TF was raving about it - it has to be the best one yet!

/me now tries to take Miss TF off the ceiling as she is scared that Lord Voldermort will come and get her *sigh*

Still... it was bloody brilliant!!! :razz:

Transformers is hilarious! Good movie. Tons of heavy metal for the fights. Ourstanding fights, good CGI as fy pointed out. Good jokes too.

Pan's labyrinth.

watch it and be absolutley astounded. just finished it now. honest too god. . . .if you only watch one film in the next few months. . .watch that (its a bit suprisingly brutal in places, considering the plot but there you go. makes it better!)

I watched Pan's Labyrinth. I didn't enjoy it much...I thought it was rather weird. The people I went to watch it with liked it though... I don't remember why I thought it was weird except something about it having too many plots and something about the European way of making films (or was it Spanish?)...

Er...this is a rather crap post. I do apologize :rolleyes:

Die hard 4! Tis so good! I'm glad they made another one.
Fight scenes are really good and funny at parts.
Lol @ Nerdy, she keeps calling Justin Long the 'Apple Boy' cos he was in the mac ads :rolleyes:

Watch it, watch it, watch it! :razz:
/me flirts with action movies! :razz:

Ooooh he's so cute!

/me checks cinema times

Lol, stormy! Die hard is a great film, you'll love it :D
I couldn't take Apple Boy seriously though. He'll always be Apple Boy to me. But his character was okay still. Awesome film. I loved it :D I don't think it's one of those films that someone could massively hate.. but I dunno. *shrug* lol.

i have to say i loved die hard 4 i loved the other 3 and this didn't dissapoint, i do have to say though i don't know apple boy as apple boy. he'll always be geeky cheerleader boy from dodgeball to me :-)

Evan Almighty! I've just been to see it... go and see it! I thought it was really really good, and the second half especially was so funny. We saw a bad review of it before we went where it only got one star, but I completely disagree with whoever wrote that.

I just saw the stat of "The wedding planner" and recognised the plot outline straight away. Does anyone know where they borrowed this plot from ?? The movie I saw had the groom as a fireman rather than a doctor but the same basic story.:?::?::?:

I never bother reading reviews for films lol. Evan Almighty is a good film, although it's more or a family film and it's something the kids would enjoy more.
I agree with Tash, second half was better than the first. It does drag on for a bit and they could have made it funnier at some parts, but overall, it's a movie, go watch it :)

/me wonders if Tasha wants to dance with her :razz:
Or would you prefer the geeky jig? :twisted:

Some of my family and some friends have all seen Evan Almighty by now and none of them liked it. None recommended it. I'm probably not going to see it, but the first movie will always be one of my all-time favorites!

I found my own answer about the wedding planner. Seems the movie I was thinking about was I do (but I don't) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420683/) and was actually a cheap copy of the original

/me and *AJ* do the dance for all to see!
(I think we've done enough geeky jigs for the time being :razz:)

Really? Oh well, maybe I was just having an "I find everything extra funny today" day when I went so see it.. :biggrin:


Has anyone seen Licence to Wed? The synopsis on the cinema site isn't very helpful.

I think you should never listen to reviews, from anyone! We spoke to a group of girls at church who found Miss Potter incredibly boring but we loved it and we're really pleased we went to see it :biggrin: Same with Pirates 3 actually, we've heard alot of bad stuff about it but we loved it.

Haven't seen Licence to Wed no.

What would anyone recommend for me to go and see? I've not been to the cinema for ages and can only go once in the next few weeks. Any ideas?

it has to be the bourne ultimatum facey. thats on my list of things to do in the next couple of weeks

I'm going to see SuperBad on the weekend. Looks like another stupid-funny movie, which means that it's probably gonna be my kind of movie! :P

i have just watched transformers and the simpsons and have to say transformers wins hands down
it was very good great CGI. i do have to say the simpsons was a little dissapointing

i watched groundhog day yesterday! amazing!

I also watched Best in show, from the creators of spinal tap (very similar too the tap but not quite as funny!)

gonna watch clerks in a minute too.

OOO I want to see SuperBad... Take me ;)

/me will pay for popcorn

a lady should never have too pay for popcorn! ;)

clunge if you like clerks you'll have to watch kevin smiths other films too, chasing amy,mall rats, dogma(brilliant writing), jay and silent bob strike back and of course the very disturbing but hilarious clerks 2

Saw Rush Hour 3 on Sat....very funny!! Not as good as the first 2 obviously but definately full of laughs.

Don't forget to watch the blooper shots at the end! :biggrin:

Anyone seen The Bourne Ultimatum yet?

Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne in the follow-up to The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this time evading a government agent across Moscow, Paris and North Africa.

I just have to correct the Odeon website there. He doesn't actually go to Paris. It was Madrid. Pfft. ./slap Odeon.

I saw it last night :D Some bits were a bit samey, but overall I thought it was really good. We finally find out who/why/what he is....And there's a few familiar faces in there =)

/me gives the film 8.5/10 =)

Oooeer Fy! I saw it last night too :razz:

I thought it was a great film as well - a lot of loose ends tied up! For me, it was one of those films which you don't really want to end.

/me hopes that the trilogy will be out on DVD boxset by Christmas for Mr TF.

So that was YOU throwing popcorn with your feet up on the seats!? :razz:

Oh, and has anyone seen that film with Justin Timberlake? I think it's called Alpha Dog. I didn't really get the trailer...

i watched The Bourne Ultimatum.

i thought it was rather good, i like the ending part. xD
but it's a pity that the camera keeps shaking during those fighting scenes. >=/

rate it 3.8/5. ;]

Anyone seen Knocked Up yet? Sounds like it's supposed to be quite good, and am thinking of going to see it this week.

Knocked Up is amazing. It's absolutely hilarious. It's just over 2 hours long which I guess it kinda long for a comedy, but it's brilliant. Best film I've seen in a really long time.
>>Go And See It<<

I AM LEGEND - 5 out 5 stars:!:
Rating - US: PG-13/UK: 15

An excellent movie from beginning to end. Will Smith gives his most moving and emotional performance yet. This is not the regular Will Smith that you are used to seeing on other great movies like Independence Day and Men In Black. He takes this movie and makes it his own. And although the plot of the movie is something that has been done before, it still feels fresh when you watch it! I definitely recommend this movie to anyone. You may want to be careful about the kiddies though, as there is some blood and violence involved as well as a rather scary storyline, if you think about it happening in real life.:eek:

Moved your post here Atreyu, seems like this thread could use a new start

Thanks Sense/Net!:biggrin:

Woo Hoo now I get to do another one!:razz:

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Rated - US: G / UK: U
4 out of 5 stars

I dont care what the critics say I thought this was a good movie. The kids will love it! Its about a man that has a toy store that is alive, along with everything in it, because of the imagination and belief this man brings to it and apparently it brings some life to him as well because he is over 200 years old. The visual effect are so stunning to see that I felt the kid at heart coming out. Yeah the acting may be a little corny but they do make their parts fit. Adults may find the scripting a little tedious towards the end but the overall theme makes it great for a family night.

The little sock monkey doll that keeps trying to hug the "Mutant" breaks my heart. I wish I could hug him.:cry:

I voluntarily got rickrolled... 'cause I like the song ;P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI

EDIT: oh snap, I meant to post that in the media clips section! Ah well.

I'll just say Forrest Gump is the best movie. Ever.

Funny what you get with a few movie titles ...

:D

Some ratings from me....

The Happening: 0/5 stars. Seriously, going to watch it in cinema should be made illegal it's so rubbish :eek:

National Treasure: Book of secrets: 4.999/5 stars. I really liked the movie and it's better than the first, only slightly though. They may have left it open for a third and if they do, I hope it's just as good as the first two.

Re: Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, previously rated by Atreyu, I regret watching it, lol. I don't even know why I watched it :S

I've just seen Kung Foo Panda :biggrin: I enjoyed it (apart from the annoying kids behind me kicking the seat... grrr) and thought the animation was brilliant. The story was slow in parts, but still - a worthwhile watch :biggrin: I now have the unenviable task of trying to prevent my little boy from killing his bigger sister with karate chops and flying leaps :rolleyes: :razz:

lol, that's cute ^ I'm looking forward to watching that :)

The Happening was silly. It was a bit disturbing in some parts, because of the whole "suicide" aspects of it. Quite worrying that it was the same person who did Unbreakable and Sixth Sense (you wouldn't think it! :eek:)

Iron man: Absolutely fantasticoooooooooooooo! :D

*gasp* I knew I forgot to rate something!

Iron man: 4.999/5 stars. It was a tad bit slow hence it wasn't perfect.

Re: The Happening btw, when I was walking through Regent's Park the other day I was reminded of it, lol.

I went to see Hancock (Will Smith) on Monday. I really enjoyed it and didn't feel there was one moment in the movie where it got boring. Thought Will Smith was good and didn't overact as some flicks in the early years I felt he could now and again. Played it just right!

Good twist-y sort of thing in the middle; good build up to the end, and good ending!

I'd recommend it - especially whilst eating nachos with warm cheese dip! Yay for Showcase Cinema but booooooo for their prices!!

:O Piggie! *glomps*

So this isn't spam, I finally saw I Am Legend and I thought it was over rated. I'd give it two stars and that's me being generous :/

And Signs, and Lady in the Water, and The Village. In fact, Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were his 2 only good films, and they are among the best films in the world ever! The rest of them are poodoo.

I need to see this film. I need to see more films really - I don't watch enough of em. And Mrs Ches is always moaning I never take her out - so I'm thinking - 2 birds... one stone...

Hiya Piggie!!!!

:O Piggie! *glomps*

So this isn't spam, I finally saw I Am Legend and I thought it was over rated. I'd give it two stars and that's me being generous :/

Well saved :P

Iron man: 4.999/5 stars. It was a tad bit slow hence it wasn't perfect.

I'm almost ashamed of how much I like these superhero films, but I went to see Ironman at the cinema and I thought that it was good; totally agree though that it was too slow, in particular the construction scenes. I liked the look of the superhero though, and that matters as much as anything. :D

Speaking of superhero films, I watched Hellboy again yesterday; I just love Guillermo del Toro. I'd imagine that I'll be going to see Hellboy 2...

Still waiting on the "Cardigan Man" superhero, though... :rolleyes:

Hi Granddad :twisted: I can't understand why directors stuff up and make huge chunks of the film slow and boring. The moment the pace slows down, that's it, I'm no longer interested. I'm amazed at how no-one ranted about the slowness of Iron man.

I wanna watch The Bucket List. Nerdy's recommended it and she won't stop going on about it. Thing is, I don't trust her judgment now after she made me watch Vantage point. That film gets 0/5 stars too.

21 was good, I thought it was kinda clever, not the best film and admittedly I just watched it cos it involved maths.... :embarrassed: it still gets 4/5 stars from me though.

AJ... I just have to back up Nerdy's recommendation for The Bucket List. I would probably rate this as one of the best films this year. It was.. well... just brilliant... just make sure you have a box of kleenex to hand :cry:

A film that I am hoping to watch is Mama Mia - heard some good stuff about it, so will probably book tickets for one evening next week :biggrin:

Cant say i've seen the bucket list, so cant comment on it.

I think AJ would enjoy A Beautiful Mind if she likes her number films.

As for Hancock, i really enjoyed that, and what people have said that it is a fast flowing film with next no dead spots is true....i must of been one of the few who saw the twist coming, even tho it didnt make sense for a while, time wise.

Next film up that am wanting to see is wall•e

*is a big kid at heart*

Darn it TF, making me cry! I just watched the bucket list, I don't do crying at films >_< lol

That was really good, excellent, in fact. Definitely 5 stars, if not more! Everyone watch The Bucket list! You smile throughout, it's just the end bit that gets you :cry:

TF:
The joke about the coffee was hilarious. "You're ****ting me" "No, the cat beat me to it" LOL!
That joke which lead to the "Laugh until you cry" aww
And "Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world" that was too cute :)
/me waits for "the sequel" hehe ;)
Morgan Freeman is beautiful lol :embarrassed:

/me puts 'A Beautiful Mind' on her watch list. I totally forgot about that, thanks tazcoupe! :)

21 was good, I thought it was kinda clever, not the best film and admittedly I just watched it cos it involved maths.... :embarrassed: it still gets 4/5 stars from me though.

Maths films? You'll love this! Its more of a musical really, but the numbers are complex!

/me whacks Ches over the head with protractor :p
Speaking of maths films, one that really disappointed me was Proof. What a load of bleeding rubbish! Such a disappointment and I watched it during my A levels lol.

Oh goodness me, I'm looking like a right film junkie right now, ah well! :razz:

Watched Wanted today, good film. Notice I say "good" and not "great" They slow the film down quite a bit (cos of all the action, its not a slow moving film) and those bits looked really fake to me so that was a bit of a disappointment.
Other than that though, it was action packed and blood dripping cool. There's this one point when you go "Ewwwwwww" but its a cool "eww" :razz:
I like how the ending went but I predicted it which sucked, still good though and the rating from me is 5 stars

It really has everything you want in a film, even some funny bits and if you're into Angelina Jolie you get to see her butt too :eek:

What was that sound? The sound of all the guys running out the door? :twisted:

Maths films? You'll love this! Its more of a musical really, but the numbers are complex!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi1TySrHjUU

I was disappointed by that! I didn't read the sarcasm, and was expecting actual complex numbers, like, in the form z=a+ib :P

I don't watch many films but raided my stepsister's collection yesterday and watched "scenes of a sexual nature" (and no, it's not porn, it's not rude). And anyway, I thought it was pretty rubbish if I'm honest. No storyline to it. There's just like 7 couples, all at different phases and stages in life, each just talking about their problems or discussing issues/parts of their life. I would give it 2 stars. The acting wasn't bad or anything, just not a very good idea for a film in my opinion...

Chopper was on tv the other day!

amazing film!

also watched princess mononoke from studio ghibli (who did spirited away).

also very good.

New Keifer Sutherland film called MIRRORS:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790686/

Looks scary if you watch the trailor but reviews have slated it!
Hmm....might watch it anyway.

I saw the trailer for Mirrors too. Looks quite good.

Watching SAW 5 on Saturday!! Can't wait!

Hopefully the storyline will be good and it's not too confusing!
As for the gore........i'm not fussed as i can handle it. Bring it on!

Watching SAW 5 on Saturday!! Can't wait!

Cool, I want to see that too. Looks like this is the last of the series and there's supposed to be a weird ending or something like that.

There's actually going to a Saw 6 after this. The director had signed up for it ages ago.

I heard that it has a weird ending too! Should be good.

There's actually going to a Saw 6 after this.

Really :o

Has anyone watched Burn After Reading yet?

Saw 5 was VERY dissapointing!! =(

I'm quite annoyed actually because i was hoping for a good story and good ending.
Instead the story was crap and we all guessed the ending half way through the film............which was also crap!
Also some of the actors and actresses they had in the film just really annoyed me cos they couldn't act.

It still has the gore though (maybe not as much as Saw 4). The games in this one are ok, a lot more deadlier and bloody!!

Also it explained some things from the previous films but from that it didn't really have a lead for the next (and final) film.

Would give it a poor 4 out of 10!

Rawr!

Ah, this isn't a new-out cinema film but I saw it for the first time last night and wanted to mention, because it was great...

"The Orphanage"; ruddy brilliant it was. Guillermo del Toro, who directed "Pan's Labyrinth" (my favourite film which you must also watch! Do it!) was the producer or something. Excellent, watch it and you won't think "that Fox is a bloody fool". Well, you probably will, but it won't be related to this.

I watched it when it was in the cinema. Was absolutely BRILLIANT! Once of the best films i've seen in ages.
It was once of those really chilling ghost movies with a great story that stays with you even after the film. Too many horror films these days are all about the gore so it was great to actually watch one which is filled with chilling suspense!

EDIT***
Also forgot to say that the director is Juan Antonio Bayona. Not Guillermo del Toro who did Pan's Labyrinth. ;)

Mmhm, yes, probably the best horror film that I've seen in ages, if not ever. I wanted to go and see it at the cinema but couldn't find anybody who wanted to go (quite a way to go the nearest cinema which was showing it and none of my friends liked the sound of it enough to bother). I did say that Guillermo del Toro was "the producer or something", not the director, by the way. :)

Ah sorry. Must have mis-read =)

I'm really looking forward to Twilight :biggrin: Hope to see it this weekend!

OH man me too sooooo much -squeals-

But ahh that's because I looooooooooove the book :D And also the guys hot. whatshisface. :P

The book is great - I have just had a marathon reading session (read Twilight in under a day - and have now almost finished New Moon). I am interested how the story is going to be transferred onto the silver screen - I really hope it doesn't disappoint (but then again, I have a vivid imagination :razz:)

I've heard good things about it so far though!

Just for you Sorsie ;-)

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/TempusFugitFun/abanshee-3.jpg

His name is Robert Pattison :biggrin:

Mmmm thankies :D Heh I read the book in 3 days :P but I had to finish it after the second night as I couldn't sleep -_- :P Lol

Heh About to get lent new moon :D And I doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as the book, but I don't care because I love the book so much :P

OMG AWESOME books and Great movie!!! I read all 4 books in 4 days!!! Needless to say not much cleaning got done in my house in those 4 days! lol But I couldn't put the books down!

And the movie really was great...sure it wasn't as good as the book (what movie ever is?) but it was still a really good movie IMO!!!

Twilight?? Oooooh... huge fan here! *Raises hand* Love the books (not as keen on Breaking Dawn but still has it's redeeming features) and I thought the film was actually very good and stayed very close to the book indeed.

I've been hooked on them for months and it's hillarious because when the film came out I went on Facebook and all my friends' status were like 'Hooked on Twilight... In love with Edward Cullen' and it really made me laugh. Finally have people to talk to about it now though :D

Ahh... Edward Cullen.. >.> <.<
I do believe the film was one of the better film to books I've seen, but... there was a few.. odd bits I think xD Some of the dramatic bits.. were.. well.. not as dramatic on screen as they were in my head.. xD And do I need to say anything about jasper? Really? xDD Lol.

But yeah. :) I loved the film, love the books, waiting for breaking dawn off a friend.. Love edward.. >.>
<.<

Although you couldn't have guessed that eh?]


Oooh Another film I want to see, is I think it's seven pounds? The new will smith movie.. looks interesting :)

I've seen Slumdog Millionaire, I'd rate it about 3 stars and that's me being generous. I don't think it was *all* that good. Prolly cos Mr-Harrow-boy-from-Skins can't act and has the same stupid expression on his face the whole time. As for how many global nominations it's up for or whatever.... that's the film seriously being over rated imo.

Another film I was looking forward to watching was Bride Wars, advert made it look good and funny but it wasn't so 2 stars from me. Personally, Made of Honour was better than that. Ah well.

JUST finished watching Twilight :)
Not as good as the book. But the picture was all ♥♥♥♥e cos i was streaming it, and couldnt apreciate the whole Edward obsession.
I'm gunna watch Yesman now i think.

Yes Man was really good! The first gag definitely justified paying £5 to go and see it.
Also recently watched Don't Mess With The Zohan - brilliant acting and absolutely hilarious (it's an Adam Sandler film... :P).

I've seen Slumdog Millionaire, I'd rate it about 3 stars and that's me being generous. I don't think it was *all* that good.

Hmmm i watched Slumdog Millionaire too......and thought it was absolutely brilliant. It definitely deserves all the awards it has received and the ones it's been nominated for (Oscars)...IMO.
The actor was good...maybe not 100% but he did well considering the experience he's had. I loved the story, the pace, the setting and the realism of the story.
The only thing i hated was Anil Kapoor! He's a famous bollywood actor and played the millionaire host in the film. If you ever wanted to see what overacting looked like.......watch him in this film!

Anyway i loved the film :biggrin:

Saw RockNRolla last night and it was awesome. If you liked Lucky Number Slevin you'll probably like RockNRolla.

Oooh Another film I want to see, is I think it's seven pounds? The new will smith movie.. looks interesting :)
Saw it t'other day. It was slow and felt very long and about 3/4 of the way in I thought maybe the only reason I could bare it was cos it was a Will Smith Film lol. Anyway, it does get good. The ending is good and I just sat there with my mouth open. Tough one to rate cos it was slow and the end was really good, watch it. 3.5 stars :)

:o I just found out that Tim Burton is making a new Alice in Wonderland moviefilm. I was looking at the cast and it seems like it will be amazing! Johnny Depp (obviously. :P) as the Mad Hatter, Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat (:D) and Christopher Lee and Matt Lucas, amongst others. I dunno how I didn't know about this already. :S But wowwww, I love Tim Burton, and I think that him doing Alice in Wonderland would be great.

Lol Foxxy that will be ah-mazing!
I shall express my excitement at a later date, preferabley when im not ill and dont feel like absolute ♥♥♥♥! :)

I thought Slumdog was amazing too, i do think its a bit overrated i guess, but then again so is twilight, and i still love that :D
But i thought Slumdog was one of the best films i had seen in a very long time.
And Dev Patel is sex! Haha, weird looking guy with stick out ears, but i find that rather cute xD Yes, sex. He is :D

Lol! They block out my s**t word with hearts?!
Haha thats brilliant!

We also ask that you don't double post either :razz: Keeps our forum nice 'n tidy!

/flirt 'EDIT'!!!

Back on subject - I am hoping to see The Young Victoria next week :) Looks really good.

Im looking forward to seeing young victoria also,with my son he,s a history buff, and my passion right now is the film marley and me, ive just finished the book cant wait.:razz:

When I was on holiday down south the summer just gone, they were holding auditions for extras for the film in Plymouth. I can't act for toffee... but I really wanted to go along to see what was happening. I don't know when they're filming but I go down there each summer so it would be amazing if I was there when they were filming. I can't wait to see the film though!

"Bronson" is out Friday ... Britain's most violent prisoner, whose convictions consist of ... erm, armed robbery, and thats it. Surprising then that he's spent around 28 years in solitary.

Have read two of his books and they're full of dark humour. Hope the film does justice.

Hmm. Just saw The Watchmen. I thought it was a very good film overall. :) Slightly long, but I'm sure that was to do justice to the graphic novel rather than for.. Hmm. I dunno. But every bit was good, so it wasn't time wasted really :) Slightly gorey... But all in context and it adds to the characters. Same with the sex scenes. Lol. Hmm But yeah. :) Overall I'd recommend it, but that might just be because my friends are great fans of the graphic novel, and apparantly if you like the film, then the novel is 10x better. :)

Omg, omg, omg, omg, omg, omg, I can't stop omg-ing. The Boy in Striped pyjamas. Epic. Watch it. Omg, omg, omg. Don't ask, just watch it if you've not seen it already. Have tissues ready and make sure you watch it without any distractions.

Have you read the book? It's meant to be really good as well.

Nope, not read it but I just bought it!

needed a film to watch, then saw this thread, am going to watch it nowww. Found a link on google to the film, streams well fast :)
http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK313&q=movies&lr=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#q=boy+in+the+striped+pyjamas&hl=en&emb=0

the direct link keeps not working.. but its only a click away (",)

Ah.. I have this one with other Holocaust movies I need to watch... Just need a little bit of time to watch... >.<

Anyone seen Fast and Furious yet? If so, is it worth watching in the cinema or should I just wait until it's out on DVD? I'm undecided on the trailers, looks alright but I'm hoping they've not just shown the only good parts of the film. Otherwise there's nothing else to it :/

AJ - check this out ... you might like it.

I saw it a few days ago. It was full of ruddy cars.

:) But hmm, I dunno I didn't really like it but I suppose that it was good enough, I don't think that me not liking it means that it was bad. If you want to watch it (either on DVD or at the cinema) anyway, I'd say it's worth going for it.

Think I'm gonna skip F&F, Knowing looks good. Nick Cage ftw! Well, it has a "National Treasure" thing about it so that's made me wanna watch it. Review on Tuesday :D

I just watched The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. Hmm, not as good as I was expecting it to be after the reviews in this thread... my heart was thumping the last 15 mins of the film though. Suspense!

I think I'm going to watch State Of Play this Wednesday if I get certain things done :)

my heart was thumping the last 15 mins of the film though. Suspense!
:O!!! That's what it's all about!!

Sorry, couldn't help it :embarrassed:

:O!!! That's what it's all about!!

.... whoa-o the hokey cokey,

Sorry, couldn't help it :embarrassed:

I thought it was Hokey Pokey? :P

The Americans say Pokey. We say Cokey. Must originate from the cocaine addictions.

Ah, my sister was telling me to go watch 17 again. Erm, no thanks, would rather not waste money on seeing Zach Teflon +o(

Knowing: Waste of time. Don;t watch it. Well you can if you want but don't say I didn't warn you :p You might like it if you liked The Happening, Signs and other similar terrible Sci-fi films. This one started good but half way it was just ugh. 0.5 stars out of 5.

Monsters Vs Aliens 3D: Lol, I jumped at the beginning. I forgot it was 3D so the ball that flies out at you kinda got me :$ Good film if you're about 3-7 I guess but it's not fantastic and they're are plenty of other better kiddy films out there imho. Me nd my sister were the only adults in there without kids haha. When you wear the 3D glasses you also look a bit like the cockroach (played by Hugh Laurie) 3 stars out of 5 from me :)

... When you wear the 3D glasses you also look a bit like the cockroach (played by Hugh Laurie)

Ohhh, aww. That's foul. I absoluuutely hate cockroaches and I definitely don't want to look like one! Mehhh. I may skip watching this if I'm going to look like the creature I hate the most on this planet (and there's a cockroach in the movie? Boo! Couldn't they choose a more appealing creature to look at?)

I watched Fast and the Furious on Sunday. I quite liked it and was sorry to see it end. Fast cars, good acting, cops, illegal border-crossing (my favourite scenes were the tunnel scenes), bad people, boom boom boom! Haha, I love that kind of fast-paced action movie every once in a while. If only it had a hefty dose of good humour, it would've made my favourites list, but nein, it's a guy's flick through and through.

There were only 7 people in the entire cinema though =o

He's kinda cute (the roach, not Hugh Laurie ;p) And yeah, you only look like him if you go to see the 3D version :razz: I think this film could have done with a lot more humour, especially from the roach.

Good quote(s):
Roach: Oh.... Emm... Gee :razz:
-----------------------------
The Missing Link: She's speechless!
B.O.B.: She?
Roach: Yes, we are in the presence of the rare female monster.
B.O.B.: No way! It's a boy; look at his boobies!
-----------------------------
B.O.B.: Derek was dating you too? That two timing jerk.
Heh, I know someone who has self esteem issues with F&F because of al the girls in it. Well, that's a huge shame actually because now she refuses to watch it :/

The cinema I go to is always empty - it's in a small shopping centre :) Awesome like that.

2 films that i've heard of but never thought i'd actually watch are..........Kidulthood and Adulthood.

They were very good films...and i'm so surprised i'm saying it as they all about life in a small London town which has problems with gangs, knives, sex and drugs. It was never a film i'd usually watch........but my fiance made me watch them.

They really opened my eyes to that part of the world and the life that kids like that lead - violence, guns, drugs etc. It was very intense at times and other parts really got to me cos it wasn't just a movie.....this actually happens in real life and is 10 times worse at that.

It's definitely worth a watch! Also.....there's a guy called Noel Clarke who's one of the stars in the film - he actually wrote, directed and starred in the sequel. Amazing achievement for a young guy like him!

I watched 17 again yesterday.

I have to say, it's not the kind of movie I normally go watch and I was really skeptical about how it would be. Didn't really know much about Zac Efron before this, except that he was in highschool Musical.

So the movie:

I loved it. It was really funny and it had me laughing. I thought the acting was really good, loved the sets (especially Ned's house), the dialogue was good (yay for Elvish - it crops up in some scenes xD!!), and it was just generally, really well-shot, I thought. I don't know if I could stomach another comedy with Zac in it, but this one was well worth it. 4.5/5

It's the kind of movie I would buy because it was so good. Maybe just to ogle at Zac, but he's too mainstream for my tastes anyway. I never thought I'd say this but he's so good looking it should be illegal. :p Hmm, but I digress. xD

Lmao storm. Your review's made me wanna watch it now :$ I saw a clip the other day and kinda liked it but Mr Teflon is really putting me off it; he's just too in-the-spot-light and I don't enjoy feeling like a sheep *shrugs* :/

Ah, I watched Ladder 49 last night/today (yes, yes, I did the illegal thing of stopping a film because I needed sleep - the horror :o) I love that film and it still makes me cry :( I'm actually tempted to watch it again :$ And the Bucket List :$ that was on tv the other day :D

Oh. I watched the Bucket List recently. And I loved that film. <3 :)
I love that actor in it. Actually both of them are great actors so yeah :D :) Mmmm.. :)
I also watched Shawshank recently and that was a great film too. :)

... but Mr Teflon is really putting me off it; he's just too in-the-spot-light and I don't enjoy feeling like a sheep *shrugs* :/ ... Whozzat?


Watched Burn After Reading yesterday. I am soooooo glad... that I did not waste my money on watching such utter rubbish at the cinema. Seriously.

The whole thing was some unpalatable combination of cheese, losers, people sleeping around with each other, the CIA, the Russians ("ooooh" :rolleyes:), bingo wings, cops who never fire their guns, and some other drivel. The only thing I recall from the movie was Brad Pitt's atrocious hair.

I've never seen George Clooney and Brad Pitt play losers before. Sad times.

-5/5

I thought Burn After Reading was a bit hit and miss. I didn't mind seeing Pitt as a loser - but Clooney? It didn't really work. The best part of the movie were the two CIA guys trying to figure out what the hell was going on. They had the best lines, for sure:


CIA Officer: Well, at least it's a lesson learned.
[Pause]
CIA Superior: What did we learn, Palmer?
CIA Officer: I don't know, sir.
CIA Superior: I don't ♥♥♥♥in' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir.
CIA Superior: I'm ♥♥♥♥ed if I know what we did.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say
CIA Superior: Jesus ♥♥♥♥ing Christ.

It was just a parody - dumb people doing dumb things because they saw it on some dumb movie. Quite subversive in its way, but not 100% my cup of tea.

We're going to see Wolverine later. I'm almost nervous - I want so bad for this movie to rock, but I think it's going to flop. It's got Gambit! And Deadpool! And Sabretooth BEING Sabretooth instead of a stooge! Oooohhh... pleasebegood!

I have to admit I found that last dialogue funny, but I still wouldn't recommend the movie.

I liked Burn After Reading.

I thought it was pretty funny, liked the humour and intertwining stories with all the misunderstandings.

Fun film, imo.

I didn't like Burn After Reading either. It was just too hmm odd. I didn't really think there was much of anything. It just seemed very hmm.. lol. Ahah. eh. -shrugs- I thought it was just all a bit stupid. xD :)

I'm so excited to the extent where I feel like grabbing someone by the shoulders and shaking them just for the sake of it!!

Someone linked me to this trailer (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/my-sisters-keeper/trailer) for "My Sister's Keeper" (let it load first then watch it) and I felt I really had to watch it when it came out, but FIRST I must read the book! OMG the book is amazing, I've just finished it and it's one of the best I've read in a very, very, very long time I think :O I cried like a baby even though I predicted bits of it but I really don't care. This book gave me goosebumps the whole time. I know tasha, carrotcake, gracie and perhaps a few others have read this book ages ago but I recommend it to anyone who watches the trailer and thinks it looks good.

/me notes to take a box of kleenex to the cinema with her

I am desperate to see Angels and Demons. Has anyone seen this yet?

lol @ AJ.... careful now... :razz:

I just watched Angels and Demons.

Is it the same one, like the one I read? It somewhat looks like the book, but it could've been a lot better.

I'll give it a 3.5 out of 10.

The bomb went off nice, but shouldn't Langdon be in the copter? And how did the Water-Preferati managed to survive, and become the Pope? :eek:

I want to click the spoiler... but I better not until after I have seen it.

3.5 out of 10 isn't encouraging though... but as I enjoyed the book so much, I feel as if I have to watch it :/ I recall DVC being a huge disappointment on the silver screen too though.

Thank you for that though Alessadri - I wont get my hopes up and will be prepared to potentially waste 2 and a bit hours of my time :razz:

I didnt think it was that bad, not my favorite movie though. of couse, i didnt read the book. i would give it a 7 out of 10.

Transformers 2 trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Veo0G2qfY)

Now wouldn't that look freaking awesome in 3D? :razz:

UK release date 19th June. Can't wait.

Watched Night at the Museum 2 today. Not too sure what to rate it tbh. It was as good as the first one and perhaps a bit funnier. If you've got kids they'll certainly love it even if they don't get all the jokes.

The monkey slapping bit was probably everyone's favourite bit and the convo between them, the Darth Vader bit was funny and er... my mind's gone blank :eek:
The kids in the cinema were terrible. Kept laughing at bits that weren't even funny -_- Cinema was way too packed for my liking so it kinda ruined it a bit. I usually go to the cinema when there's only about ten people :D FTW!

I guess I'm gonna give this film a 3.5 or 4 out of 5.

I watched Obsessed today..... dang, that woman was obsessed! Dunno her name irl but it's Jessica/Nicki/whatever from Heroes.

How is it Beyonce was able to kill the damn woman but her husband in the film couldn't?? Not much of a man is he?!

It was good I guess. Highly entertaining (at some points) imo and for that it gets a high rating... 4/5 stars

Woo, I watched Tranformers Revenge of the Fallen today! :D
It was really, really good and better than the first. The action was good as expected and there was more humour in this one. This film's a real mix of emotions; it's funny, sad (well it wasn't for me but others found it sad) and action packed.

At one point some kid in the cinema was really grossed out by something Simmons does and the boy's reaction was hilarious, bless him XD

If you liked the first one you're gonna like this one too. I'd have loved to have seen this in 3D (but it's not available, bleh). People say it's difficult to tell who the good autobots are and who the bad ones are but in this film it wasn't so confusing. Once you know who everyone is you're sorted. Plus the colours in ths film seem to help so yeah, it's all good.

I think they've left it open for a third film too :D

5/5! :razz:

Oh, and for anyone interested, My Sister's Keeper is in cinema next week. Can't wait :D

Edit: I just noticed I posted three reviews in a row. I'm not a film junkie, honestly :eek: :p

*AJ* I am a film junkie, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

I saw Transformers as well last night. I thought it was amazing. However this could be due to the fact it was my era. Me and my bro watched it religiously in the 80's! Plus giant killer robots are always gonna be a winner imo.

There was a 'couple' of robots that sucked and a cpl of times I thought ok this is the end and it wasn't (was quite long) but overall I think that the reviews I read saying its pap are wrong.

I vote 5/5 also.

Re: Bots, I thought the exact same thing and did roll my eyes a couple of times. Without even asking I know exactly who you mean. It didn't ruin the film though and I guess they served their purpose.

I didn't and haven't read any reviews (yet?) I tend to just watch a trailer, then the film and make up my own mind about it. If I see a bad review for a film or someone tells me it's rubbish I end up feeling poop for enjoying it. Lol? :S

I think the certificate/rating thingy on the film could have been avoided. It was a 12A because of content but I think if some references were taken out of it some parents would feel better about letting younger kids watch it. Just my opinion thounh because I feel like younger kids are missing out a bit and it's over mature content which wasn't really needed. Most kids wouldn't even pick up on some references made anyway :/ Course I'm only saying that because I know so many 6-11 year ols who loved the first film.

I finally went to watch My Sister's Keeper tonight! Woo, yay! :D
However, it wasn't like the book, well not too much like the book and they completely changed the ending which made me very sad. However, the ending still had me and everyone else in the cinema crying. Shoulda heard all the sniffling :o

I really need to whinge about what they left out of the film and what they changed about it. If you've not read the book or seen the film do not read the spoiler AT ALL!! You have been warned.

The book was sadder than the film in so many ways. It was like an emotional roller coaster.

The son Jesse in the book was such a spiteful little sod but at the same time he had such a caring part of him for his sisters. The latter came across in the film and I think they did that perfectly. He seemed so nice. But the fact that he was a pyromaniac in the book was great because it showed how the family's fairly probken relationship drove him to do silly things. I liked the fact that when the dad worked out he was behind so many arsons it brought them both closer and the dad opened his eyes about how Kate's illness affected the family so much.

At the end they state that the dad took an early retirement and was working with young people who'd kinda lost their ways and had they shown us what happened to Jesse we'd have understood why he stopped being a firefighter.

I like that they left that other woman out of the film, the one who was with Campbell. Tbh, she was a watse of space in the book other than the part where we find out why Campbell was the way he was with her.

Which brings me onto Campbell's illness. The epilepsy. In the book I loved it how he'd always use a new silly reason as to why he had his dog Judge with him. I think he only gave an excuse twice in the film but in the book it added some humour to the real story. We knew there was a serious reason behind Judge being with Campbell but when he made a joke out of having Judge it lessened the blow of us feeling sorry for him and it worked in a strange way.

I particularly LOVE how Taylor came into the book and he changed Kate's world. The way they got close and how loving and caring he was towards her. It was beautiful and it made me love the book. Then when he was killed off in the book it made me hate the author for taking away such a lovely character. In the book it makes you cry but in the film I expected it plus it wasn't really dragged out so much, it lost the effect for me. It was still very sad though.

And finally, the film ends with Kate dying instead of Anna in the car crash. That was just messed up!! I was really disappointed but still cried. Everything leading up to Kate dying was just so heart felt and scary - in a strange way.

Ok so I rate this film... 4/5. It was a tough decision because I think I built the film up to be so great but they changed it from the book a lot so yeah... I was slightly disappointed. But it was still good.

Go watch it and read the book! :)

I would really like to go and see the new Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I've really got into it after a couple of friends recommended it to me and also after the constant nagging gentle persuasion of some iSk people :P
Anyone else want/going to see it?

I think I'm going to see it soon. :D I'll tell you what it's like if I do :)

-cough- Also due to constant nagging off certain isk people :P

Hmm... I think I'm going to see it (HP) soon too! :D Although, others will probably beat me to writing a review on it :p

* Capt_Sparrow has also been nagged to watch it by certain isk people XD
