Guest alex Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 On a similar note, that Metallica doc (A Kind of Monster?) is like a piss-take. Unintentional comic genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 We Own The Night 7/10. Got bad reviews but I gave it a bash because of the actors in it (Duval in particular) and glad I did as it's pretty solid film. Eva Mendez gets her right nork out too which has to be a good thing!

snakehips 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Finally managed to see the second half of The Wrestler (saw the first half on a paraffin budgie but the pilot wanted to land, rather than wait for me to finish my movie). Really enjoyed it. Not what I was expecting at all. 8/10 (maybe another half point for the lass - who, if I'm not mistaken was the g/f in My Cousin Vinny - getting her quite wonderful breests oot).

David Kelly 1260 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ice Age 3 6/10 - Due to a fuck up at the pictures we ended up getting the whole trip and our next tickets free which more than made up for an average film. Pegg's canny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 10 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Fools Gold - Better than i thought it would be. 6/10 Street Kings - All right. Slight better at 7/10 think i could make a film reviewer me like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldstott 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 THe Hangover - Puerile but deeply funny. I especially liked that the producers didn't gone for 20-somethings, which somehow made it funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31202 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 American Gangster - I liked this much better the second time round, still felt slightly too long. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Decent, didn't justify being over 2 1/2 hours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46030 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Gran Torino. Enjoyed it. Not exactly feel good though. And was that Clint singing the song on the credits at the end? I use the term singing loosely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 My Sister's Keeper Cracking film about a little girl suing her parents because she was born to act as a donor to a couple whose daughter is terminally ill and doesn't want to do it anymore. Absolutely brilliant performance all round from the cast. I haven't seen Cameron Diaz give a better performance than she does in this. Really emotional film, it had wor lass in floods of tears. 9/10 Mystic River Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Sean Penn & Kevin Bacon. Enjoyed it alot, although it was a little lengthy. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 The Proposal Sandra Bullock forces Michael Owen to marry her and goes to meet his parents (Clara Clayton and Coach) and Grandparent (Rose the Golden Girl). Proper wifey film we got free tickets for. I wouldn't say there were laughs in it...a few exhalations of breath at best. Marley and Me Rachael (the Friend) and Owen (bonky nose, freakish face) Wilson get a dog who lives with them while they start their family. Depressing stuff.

Commando Errors throughout the film make it even more enjoyable. 11/10 Bronson A really good lead performance in a film about a fella who mugged the Post Office for 30quid and ended up doing 30+years in jail. I thought it was a bit muddled though. 7/10 Edited July 13, 2009 by Barney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10965 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Public Enemies. Could and should have been great, really like both the leading men and the girl is a tasty little side dish and no mistake. However the camera work left me dizzy and confused, sharp pan and zoom in scenes which didn't need it. The Actions scenes didn't excite and the dramatic moments seemed rushed and shallow. It may sound weird but despite the film being quite long I didn't feel like either Bale or Depp were in it that much. Dillinger and Purvis are interesting characters that should have brought better out of both of these fine actors. Both just seemed to go through the motions, Depp did a charmless charming Dillinger, delivering lines that would sound trite in an Arnie movie and Bale delivered his metronomic, stern, good-guy shtick. All in all I'd say it was a 6/10, Michael Mann really ballsed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry, an abused and mentally unstable child, being punished for throwing a cake at a woman (and blaming a pixie), takes revenge by throwing his abusive step-father from a second floor window. Following the incident he has a complete mental breakdown. While incarcerated he imagines the juvenile detention centre as a world of wizards and magic. He gets into fights in the yard claiming only to be partaking in a violent game to catch a winged ball that flies. He also talks to himself incoherently, kills a cat and several people which he blames on the memory of a man who died 11 years ago (just after he was born). In the end he sticks a shiv in the eye of an inmate who he insiists is a 64 foot snake. Rather than the violent actions of a psychopath he sees this as an heroic validation of all that he's done before. He celebrates in the mess with Bubba, a 28 stone violent murderer with a penchant for under 13s. Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
