Star Trek

enjoyable to watch, though for my taste, they tried too hard to establish all the old characters and their relationships, instead of concentrating on a good story. Also Leonard Nimoy's part seemed a bit forced to satisfy the old ST fans... I would have much more preferred to see this as a good film in is own right. Still...one of the better ST movies.

twins

Then She Found Me
touching little movie with an outstanding cast!! Well worth watching

17 again
Good teen movie.
Reminded me a lot of "Big". I enjoyed it

Anger Management

"I feel pretty!!!"

Gran Torino. not bad, but very very different from what I was expecting.

what were you expecting then?

dunno. for some reason I was expecting more action. must have got my wires crossed somewhere along the way!

You were probably expecting a classic Clint Eastwood film which is what i was expecting and its not at the end which makes it better i think!!

yeah, I think you're right.

Terminator Salvation


In one word....unnecessary

Just finished watching Disney's Mulan, it is OK but not as good as some of the others in my collection.

My 4 year old daughter isn't a big Mulan fan either, but she is 4 and doesn't understand the historical facts to which the film was based upon.

are you sure others do? :sneaky: :devil:

Remember the Titans... excellent stuff from Denzel Washington and also watched "Taken".. brilliant one as well..

Probably The Usual Suspects - I've been playing with the Sky+ since Saturday :D

Gran Torino was definitely the best film I've seen so far this year. Along with Slumdog I'd say.

The Strangers. not bad at all.

Madagascar II :lmao:

Just watched two episodes of Game On tonight :heart:

The Bank Job

bloody brilliant movie!!!! :up:

Working my way through The West Wing, watched 43 episodes so far and have about another 110 to go :shock:

I've rented that on Blu Ray, I'll check it out.

"Drag Me To Hell"
Very entertaining I thought. Perhaps not as scary as could have been but felt like a good rollercoaster/Ghost house ride. Very satisfying. Good stuff. The way scary movies should be done, instead of all the gore etc.

the crow thats a bloody good film i could watch that over and over again and not get bored with it was the last film brandon lee done as he died during making that film

Boa vs Python

pretty lame actually, but if you enjoy creature features and cheesy b movies with former playmates starring....then you'd like it

"The Hangover"

Funny film and worth seeing but an 8.5 on IMDB??, I'm not so sure about that.

Why didn't you just rent a porn film?

cause that one wouldnt have giant fake cgi monsters :))
for the record, that former playmate girl did not have a single nude shot! Although another actress had a bathing scene that lasted about five minutes lol

Ugg, I'm living it

Underworld 1 and 2. I thought 1 was ok, but 2 was a bit crap.

Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2...

jaws 2, pretty good compared to the shit-ass 3 and 4

In the middle of Top Gun at the moment, 80's cheese at it's ripest. :D

junior haven't seen it in years its ok not bad

The kids are watching Cars - AGAIN :doh:

21
such a good movie!!

Valkyrie, then Top Gun...

Mamma Mia, my kids love it.

I was almost forced to watch that by my friend's 4 year old daughter! :lol:

"Duel"
Still a classic but never knew there were so many bits where you see slight mistakes (crew/equipment visible), usually Spielberg is good at avoiding this I thought. In the bit where Weaver tries to call the police you can even see a reflection of a very young Steven Spielberg in the phone booth glass!! :shock:

The Omen (2006 remake)

was enjoyable to watch, though it had a hell of a lot of plotholes. I liked the subliminal images throughout the movie, like in the Damien flashbacks.

BUT:
why the hell did father brennan (who was the only one really knowing why Damien had to die) have the birthmark as well?
AND
why would the vatican doctors kill a baby and put the devils son there instead??
OR
if he knew where to go to find out how to kill Damien, why the hell did he travel across europe first??? In the time he needed, he couldve saved his wife's live.
OR
How the hell does it stay unnoticed when a patient get's killed in a hospital, with police officers right outside the door????
OR
Why would a family hire a creepy nanny who's turned up at the last minute, without ever inviting her, without further investigation who she actually is?????

I could go on...

Finally, an adult movie...

Run, Fatboy, Run...loved this movie!

Transformers: revenge of the fallen

Good but not great, the first one was better.

Megan Fox though...

:drool:

The Quiet American (2002 version)

do they exist?? i've never met one :-P

star trek XI

Knowing - complete and utter shit. That's 2 hours of my life down the toilet for everyone to end up dead anyway :shit:

well, the plot synopsis sounds quite crap i have to say:
A teacher opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold.

and Mr Cage doesn't have an ego or anything!

What was the last movie you saw
 

It was slumdog millionaire. i thought it was a really fantastic filim

Bolt. 3rd time I've seen it now. One of my all time favourite Disney movies for sure.

I thought the plot would be quite interesting, but the aliens at the end in a UFO reminded me of the final episode of The Colbys years ago. :shit:

Yup I thought Knowing was a real let down too. The trailer made it look like one of the most interesting films since a while but the climax was just ridiculous and they let that mother of one of the kids die for absolutely no reason.

Well they were all going to die anyway, just a handful of kids were going to be saved on alien spaceships.

terminator salvations

Last one at the cinema also Terminator Salvation... last one at home was Sister Act 1 and 2, while doing the ironing yesterday...

The Hangover = awesomely funny :lmao:

pirates of the caribbean

Goodfellas...

And now I'm watching The Bank Job

King Kong (1933)
The Son of Kong (1933)
Mighty Joe Young (1949)

Gorilla evening on TV yesterday... :-)

I actually got through the most recent Kong movie last night (at the fourth time of trying)........I was right the first three times

it's got giant CGI monsters AND Jack Black! Who cares for a storyline!! :lol:

:twisted: I don't know you know.

Last two JB movies i've seen didn't turn out to be anywhere near as good as I expected :roll:

last one I've seen was be kind, rewind and I thought it was pretty decent...

:twisted: It was ok but the laughs were too few and far in between.

As I believe i've mentioned before, i like my comedys to be FUNNY.

I just felt the film could have had the laughs coming at a steadier rate :shrug:

it was different from what he usually does, but I enjoyed that too. It was nice to see that he can play a little bit more deep roles as well.

Be Kind Rewind is probably one of the worst movies I have ever rented on DVD. Such clumsy film making in my opinion; People walking out of shot whilst still talking (watch it again and you will know what I mean), a plot that doesn't know where it is going and such missuse of a good idea. I constantly hoped for it to get better but instead the plot headed towards such a lame conclusion I just had to switch off.
Tropic Thunder was another rubbish movie where I was more cringing than laughing (Tom Cruise in make up dancing is funny...wtf???) and indeed King Kong (Jack Black version) sucked ass big time too imo.

I usually appreciate moviemaker's efforts, even if it doesn't quite work out to a certain extent. But those three Jack Black ones are really not worth recommending imo and I find it incredible they were made. Even on paper someone should have realised they would suck no matter who is in them or what kind of visual effects you can produce.

We didn't make it past first half an hour of Be Kind Rewind...if that...

i think the big problem wirh king kong is that it was waaay too long...

*snigger* :twisted: :twisted:

aaaand??? What´s your opinion???

Last movie I watched... ummm... can´t really remember but I reckon it was Twilight

Obviously RJ needs to get himself a widescreen TV ...

erm.....right....

last movie ive seen was hot fuzz

Jack Black blows monkeys, he's crap.

I agree. He's a one-trick pony. The only film I've liked him in was School Of Rock and I'd hardly discribe it as brilliant.

Have you not seen High Fidelity then? Awesome movie, as far as I'm concerned.

Another very old movie with Errol Flynn: Captain Blood.

Rumour had it that Errol Flynn could bang out "Star Spangled Banner" on a xylophone with his large penis.

LOL, well, that was not featured in the movie. :))

yeah, I quite liked it..... After that I went for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and followed that up with Sleepers last night....

As for the Jack Black debate, I have to say I don't find him particularly funny either... I was very disappointed with Be Kind Rewind, High Fidelity was okay but only because of John Cusack, and JB's King Kong struck me as the scriptwriter saying 'okay, this is going to be really bad, lets see what else we can stuff in it... We've got a giant gorilla, fainting blonde, big stars..... hmmm.... I know!!!! Giant insects!!! Dinosaurs!!!!! That'll make it better!!!!!!!!!'

(Please note, the number of exclamation marks is directly proportional to the stupidity of the idea.....)

The Doors with Val Kilmer because there was nothing else on TV. Christ what a shit film on every front. I'm not a particular Doors fan anyway :shit:

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"

Oh my god. Words fail to describe this awful, awful, awful mess of what cannot really be called a "movie" in my opinion.
And me actually having an appreciation of the MTV - popcorn style movies which Michael Bay is famous for doing (the awesome Bat 2 Meat Loaf videos, I also loved "The Rock", "Bad Boys I" and especially "Armageddon") I can ONLY conlcude this one sucks ass big time. Possibly one of the worst cinema experiences I have ever had (no joke). I just wanted it to end after about 45 minutes in... I definitely would have walked out of the cinema if I had been there alone or if I was with someone else who didn't like it.

The first Transformers movie would never be in my top 100 films or let alone top 1000 probably but at least it had originality, some interesting ideas and funny bits. I actually remember seeing the Transformers car chase mid way through and thinking it was excellent. The 2nd installment is just ridiculous. 150 minutes of explosions, CGI, empty and uninteresting characters who all pretty much do nothing, plot lines which move far too fast, no single shot that lasts longer than 1 second, Megan Fox (hugely overrated imo) running around for no reason in a slinky top, absolutely NO character development, etc. etc. And believe me I actually wanted to like this film and would have forgiven some of these cliches to an extent but 150 minutes of constant CGI really does not make a movie I think. There is NO heart in this, NO passion for making a movie which harnass human values to any extent, instead it spits in the face of decency and it makes a Britney Spears musicvideo look like an opus. The "script" must have been 1 single A4 sheet????

Definitely the worst thing I have EVER seen that has had the names "Michael Bay" and "Steven Spielberg" associated with it. I have forgiven them both for "Bad Boys II", "Pearl Harbour", "1941" and "Amistad". How in God's name do they get away with making something like this???? :-( :-( :-(

Extremely disappointed.... I cannot believe Paramount and Dreamworks have commissioned Transformers 3. I can only conclude they have NO dignity whatsoever and I have lost a LOT of respect for Spielberg on this one too. :-(

Blair Witch Project was the worst for me, what a mountain of shit that was :shit:

Mine was Titanic. A far-fetched cheesy love story, Leonardo Di Caprio, Celine Dion singing... :panic:

Just watched The Transporter. The "plot" has more holes than Swiss cheese but the action is amusing.

Bangkok Dangerous was the worst film I've ever seen at the cinema. Utter, utter shit. Not how the trailers made it look at all.

sorry to say this but the worst movie i have seen was pleasure drivers :shock::oops:

Fortunately, it never made it to the cinema (at least not in Europe, as far as I know). I paid €1 for the DVD and I think I paid too much. There is no "pleasure" in that flick, it is annoying from the beginning to the end. Even Meat Loaf is annoying in that movie (that should give you an idea how bad it is, I usually enjoy his performances, even in crappy movies).

I agree.... total and utter drivel....

Last movie I watched was The Libertine... Somehow Samantha Morton doesn't look right with hair, ever since I saw her in Minority Report....

Watching Seven Pounds and struggling, jeez this is slow!!!!!!!

Its good tho i watched it on the plane when i was trying to watch happy films lol!!

See No Evil, Hear No Evil with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder

"The Last House on the Left"

I thought it was going to be a really scary horror. It wasn't but it was a really good film

"Drag Me to Hell"

It was supposed to be a horror but the whole cinema was rolling on the floor laughing. It was quare funny haha

The last movie i watched this week was the new Bad News Bears with Billy BoB Thorton. i thought that was really funny. I likd BBT.

Just finished Gran Torino, as much as Seven Pounds was shite this was excellent, could sit through it again easily.

Transformers 2 - I didn't think it was a bad film, not great, but what do you expect with a film about alien robots changing back and forth into vehicles?

the happening

load of bull :shit:

Yeah definitely one of M Night Shymalan's weaker efforts. I didn't think it was total crap (as in Transformers 2, nothing can ever get that bad imo) but it didn't have a strong twist and the subject matter was far too morbid to be entertaining rather than captivating I thought. His films "Signs" and "The Sixth Sense" are well beyond brilliant I think though.

Signs was shit, Sixth Sense was his best to date. Is The Happening on the same shit scale as Knowing?

Bandidas - amusing
