Craig 6700 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas - Great film that really did expose the shame that was felt at the time 8/10 Seven Pounds - Good ending, but my god was the plot slow? I'd worked out what was going on pretty early on and found myself wanting to hurry him up. Spoiled by the jellyfish though - put a massive hole in the plot. 6/10 Slumdog Millionaire - cleverly done - good all round film despite it seeming like The Usual Suspects meets Forrest Gump. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire. Very good. Can't recommend the Mike Ashley spinoff, Scumbag Billionaire however. Not worth the entrance money. like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Kept seeing the advert for Gran Torino over the weekend. The advert tells you nothing, but still makes the film look class. Might have to go see it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 RocknRolla - 7/10 Not remotely original (in fact almost a remake of Lock Stock, Snatch, Layer Cake) but fun in the same way as all of those films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to go see it now. I've seen the adverts too, to me it smacks of Clint saying "look, I may be a hotshot director now but don't forget I'm a hard hard bastard". He looks a bit silly whispering the "most powerful handgun in the world" sort of shit when he should be queuing for his pension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The Transporter - Oh my god... What a pile of complete bollocks. The acting is bad. All the foreigners speaking in perfect English only with only an accent sounds moronic. The music is so bad, some kind of low key understated thing but when all you do is notice the music all the time... that's a very bad sign. Title sounds stupid. Love the idea of him being this transporter guy but after about ten minutes in the film it's anecdotal what the guy does. Fight scenes are so poor, just filled with gimmicky and cliched moments but not at all in a good way, when they start fighting it's roll your eyes time every 5 seconds. Whoever "choreographed" the fight scenes clearly loves the smell of his own farts thinking "yeah, this is awesome"... that guy is a tosser. Don't mind Statham at all in fact he's clearly aching to be a cool bad ass hero. But it's a weird thing, like the last 2 Bonds... Statham and Daniel Craig are having to fight against the elements of utter shit stories to be great. ... sadly I feel no rant can express truly how shit I thought The Transporter was. Luc Besson is such pile of commercial dogshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM4 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Not his earlier stuff dear. That's what he is now though. I agree: Fifth Element, Leon... class. But Taxi 3 and 4 for example...
