Holden McGroin 6783 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Domino - absolute gash. I've just started series 1 of Dirty Sexy Money. Very impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldstott 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hurt Locker I think I must have seen a rough edit from before they added the plot, dialogue, suspense or tension. Amazed they could make such a tedious movie about such a potentially riveting subject. 2hrs 5mins of my life I'll never get back. You don't even like The Wire so shaddap man. Went to see Hurt Locker last night and liked it a lot. It's not earth shatteringly good, but it's definitely better than Jimbo thinks it is!!

Brock Manson 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Just saw The Final Destination today and it was terrible. There was so much CGI being used, yet it wasn't particularly done very well; it looked like they'd just discovered how to use the technology. The deaths that are usually quite clverly done simply weren't so in this film, they were all heavily dependent on CGI and subsequently completely unrealistic (which is quite some feat given the franchise). It really looked like they had run out of ideas, or were just too lazy to put any effort into the film. It's nothing but a quick cash-in of a fairly popular series that should have been left well alone as it has run its course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Eastern Promises which was good - Viggo Mortensen is nails. And Bottle Rocket which is a Wes Anderson comedy from 1996 with Owen and Luke Wilson in. I thought that was good too. The sauna scene is legendary already.

Jimbo 175 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 District 9 - Excellent. Inglorious Basterds. V.Good. I expected to see more the Basterds kicking ass though. Agreed about the Basterds, not nearly as much bloodthirsty Nazi slaughtering as I expected, but I was very pleasantly surprised with what I saw, especially Hans Landa, what a character !

He got the best actor award at Cannes, not surprised in the slightest, brilliantly menacing, without being obviously sinister, I thought the opening chapter with him and diary farmer was mesmerisingly powerful.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 District 9 fuck me what a good film, the thinking mans Indepence Day, loved it !! Really good film. 9/10 Very unique and well thought through. Really enjoyed it too. It was almost disappointing when the action really got started, because up to then it had all been so perfectly real, then I was reminded of Red Matter with some of the more inexplicable stretches to move the story on ("I'm making a bomb!"?), but it was short lived and the later action was superb, really lived up to time dedicated to introducing the characters. Amazing effects too. Perfectly integrated CGI across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me of the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang and the effect he had all those years ago - truly menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

District 9 is receiving all the rave reviews but tbh the whole idea of it seems shite to me, alien refugees, wtf? Whereas the Tarantino film is receiving mixed reviews, but I've liked nearly everything else he's done. Which do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen Inglorious Bastards yet...I chose Disttrict 9 ahead of it. Tarantino isn't the opening day draw he once was after Death Proof. The effects in District 9 should be seen on the big screen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen both and I would genuinely recommend both, District 9 is the better of the two but only just, Inglorious Basterds is probably nothing like what you'd expect, I assume many of those that have given it negative reviews were expecting the usual Tarantino bloodbath, it isn't, its much more than that, plus they probably couldn't handle the subtitles for the extensive French and German dialogue throughout, two great films, both worth seeing on the big screen in my usually shite opinion.
