Barney 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Carlitos Way : 8/10 Nick of Time : 6/10 Giving carlitos way anything less than a 9.5 is a travesty tbf. Pacino looks a bit past it and a bit lame in this tbh. I really liked the film. Also, tits & Viggo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Green Zone Utterly engrossing and breathtaking. Makes The Hurt Locker look like The Turd Locker. If I see a better film this year I'll be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 2012 - What I expected and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some questionable morals in the tale like From the reviews i've read and the trailers I've seen, it seems horrifically religious. Says the world is destined to be destroyed, but it's a good thing because the righteous will survive (the only major character to die is the unmarried adulterer, right?) and build arks with two of each animal to start over. It sounds like they started by trying to do a modern tale of Noah's ark (that infers global warming is gods will), but end literally with two giraffes getting on the boat, as if they can re-populate the earth. Watched it over the weekend and it wasn't offensively shite. Just shite. I normally get wrong for pointing out the stupid bits in films, but there were so many happening so frequently i couldn't get in quick enough. Everyone else was piping up with things, like wondering aloud why the air-traffic controllers didn't finish their shift early given it's their last day on earth.

JawD 99 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hurt Locker. I enjoyed it, it's not fantastic but certainly worth watching if you like that kinda thing. Reminded me a little of Black Hawk down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Alice in Wonderland 3D Took my daughter to see it, really enjoyed it, typical Tim Burton (for the right reasons), better than I expected. no boobs though which is always a disappointment.

donaldstott 0 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It's been a busy old week of movie watching in the Stott household. Went to see Green Zone last night. As every commentator has said it is Bourne does Iraq. Same Greengrass jaunty angles, quick edits and handheld feel, plenty of of quality action and chase sequences. A good story as well, be interested to know how close to the thruth it is.. I liked it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonTheMag 4 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Really want to see Kick Ass. I watched Up in the Air the other night, and that it was way overrated. The characters were unlikable, and the story was completely predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Click At least 5 strong laughs, one particularly strong. I enjoyed it. Tony Manero A Chilean fella under the rule of Pinochet ignores the politics going on around him having become obsessed with Saturday Night Fever and winning a Tony Manero lookalike contest. He's a dislikeable mix of Rupert Pupkin and Travis Bickle. It's an excellent film shocking and occasionally hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I didn't really like Kick Ass. It wasn't quite what I though it was going to be, overrated without a doubt imo. And Nicholas Cage is a shit actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need a strong stomach? I can handle it to a point (Taxi Driver, as an example), but have never been able to bring myself to watch the likes of Irreversible and the like. Can't handle sexual violence and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31209 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Revolver - The only reason I watched it through to the end was because I couldn't believe that it could be so shit the entire way through. I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't handle sexual violence and the like. I thought i'd replied to this but it must not have worked. Most of the violence takes place off the screen and whatever is shown made me laugh more than squirm. Not in the same league as Irreversible for being stomach churning.

Renton 22002 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Saw paranormal activity on DVD last week. it was quite scary. Personally I think these low budget POV horror films are much more effective than other much more expensive gorefests. Must have been cheap as chips to make this one, didn't even have much in the way of outdoor scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummiemag1 0 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 White Ribbon. Good film, German film, sort of film that wouldnt be made in the States, disturbing, uncomfortable viewing still have not really worked out what it was all about though, about the seeds of facism I read afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
