Howay 12496 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Once Were Warriors - Enjoyed it despite the horrendous acting. Could have done with the oldest song kicking his dad all over at the end too Aye it's decent there's a sequel to it called what becomes of the broken hearted which is ok as well.

snakehips 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Went to see Frost/Nixon this afternoon. Excellent. My type of movie. History, politics, a good story, no gratuitous sex or violence and no car chases. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the story was told very well, there was always that Titanic feeling in the back of your head, don't get too attached to the character cos they'll end up in the freezing water!! The scenes with Hitler were quite haunting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The Bourne Identity Forgot about the bit where he jumps off the top flight with a corpse to protect his landing. The Greengrass ones are far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) The Bourne Identity Forgot about the bit where he jumps off the top flight with a corpse to protect his landing. I concur. Not sure how that made the movie...and the way he landed would have at least induced 2 broken legs.

luckyluke 2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The Bourne Identity Forgot about the bit where he jumps off the top flight with a corpse to protect his landing. The Greengrass ones are far better. Not least because one of the first things he does is bumps of that annoying bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 The Curious case of Benjamin Button. I really enjoyed it, reminded me a lot of Forrest Gump, it has a similar feel to the story and is bloody long, nearly 3 hours, I felt it was a little let down by the ending though. Recommended.

MattM4 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Really growing fond of that Pegg dude. Have enjoyed everything I've seen him in. Primary Colors - yeap, still good Slumdog Millionaire - Nothing special and a bit over the top. Can't believe they also all did a song and dance over the closing credits... The Wackness - strangely appealing Vicky Cristina Barcelona - pleasant enough story. Plus I'll watch anything with Penelope. ______________ Anyone seen YES MAN yet? Would like to see it as I read the book few years ago and really liked it. Like Carey a lot too, but I fear this will be an over the top bastardisation of the story.

Except for it being good? I quite like Forrest Gump, I see the screen play was written by the same chap which probably explains the similarity. Can't stand it personally but each to their own. Actually my first instinct was to liken Button to Gump but I'm not sure that's really right. Really the only similarities are it's a love story that takes a while to come to fruition and it covers a long time frame so you see it against the backdrop of some of the major events of the 20th century. Fortunately in Button it really just keeps them in the backround though rather than having the main character really being a part of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Big Nothing Quite a good little film i thought. A lot like Shaun of the Dead: not to be taken seriously yet not a typical comedy either. Schwimmer is and probably always will be typecast from Friends mind, but he was alright in it.

David Kelly 1260 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire - 7/10 Enjoyed it but the usual let down after all of the hype. City of God lite tbh. Might rate it better after another viewing. Pretty in Pink - 7/10. Not as good as John Hughes best stuff but canny. Some Kind Of Wonderfull - 6/10. As above but not quite as good. Planes Trains & Automobiles - 6/10. Martin is a bit annoying in bits but John Candy is class. Mind you the rental car bit with Martin is comedy gold.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Pirates of The Carribean - At the end of the world (or summat) Disappointment. Not a patch on the first two. There's plenty of action and great effects, but very little of it is as entertaining as before, they're doing all this expermentation like the Leone or hallucination sequences and forgetting the the derring-do the others had. A Bridge Too Far - Classic Dicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Went to see Milk last night. Okay, but I wouldn't tell anyone it's a must see movie. I do like Sean Penn as an actor but this was not one of his best. 6.5/10. The marks may be a little wrong due to the fact I fell asleep half way through until mrs hips gave me 'the nudge' followed by 'the look'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooner 243 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 RockandRolla...............Guy Ritchie needs to get a new script, or have another idea. I thought it was shite, needed to be editted alot better, fairly self indulgent imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 He's Just Not That Into You "An unendurable relationship-romcom which you should avoid like Anthrax" writes Peter Bradshaw. I thought I was going to go mad beforehand, I only spotted two other blokes in the packed out cinema and the incessant babbling in the room made it like the largest battery chicken coup in Europe. But I rather enjoyed it in the end. First film I've ever been to where the whole cinema broke into applause a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
