Happy Face 29 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Blood Diamond A vile, hideous film. I don't think I've seen a film trivialise war to such a degree, and I've seen the Dirty Dozen. Honestly, I've taken stick for enjoying Pirates of the Caribbean above, but it's an infinitely better film, it aims at a level and easily reaches and surpasses it. This almost unbearable film actually thinks it's a serious look at the diamond trade and the horror of the civil war in Sierra Leone but it incorporates a romantic interest, car chase and ridiculous melodrama amongst several commando style shoot-outs. Decaprio's accent wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the South Park stylings of his delivery, his Afrikaans relies heavily on a "Ha" that makes the Canadian "Ey" seem sparingly used. Woeful.

I liked it ! I know. I looked and no-one's had a bad word to say about it yet. Remember the bit where they walked to a refugee camp holding a million people and saw the blokes family through the fence in the space of 15 minutes?

Mr Lahey 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Beetlejuice on Blu Ray: 7/10. Thought this would look good on blu ray. Fuck knows why. Still though, nice little film. Best performance by Keaton i've seen but much better when you're a youngin. Thin Alec Baldwin aswell. The Wrestler 7/10. Pretty good but I don't know this is being hyped up the way it is. Posters in Newbiggin? Fuck me. Rescue Dawn. Surprrise surprise 7/10. I love Herzog but he's never going to be Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Went to see Slumdog Millionaire this afternoon. A really simple story with no great plot to think about but I really enjoyed it. Some great shots of India and some great scenes and photography. 8/10 on the hips scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 We were soldiers. I had this recorded on my PVR for nearly 2 years. Finally watched it. Decent enough. A poor mans Saving Private Ryan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as clever as it wants to be but good performances and a great soundtrack make an entertaining film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
