Bigsby Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The second Matrix is total bollocks, didn't bother with the third.All you Monica Belluci fans need to check out Irreversible if you haven't already for the erotic love scene in the tunnel.

Scootray Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yesterday, I watched:Zack and Miri Make a Porno - Never got the chance to see this in the cinema, quite funny and there's tits. Plus Elizabeth Banks Rambo - Shorter than I expected, and fuck me there's a lot of legs, heads, torsos and arms being blown off. Apart from that I was actually slightly disappointed, as due to it's shortness it just seemed to end all too abruptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Bigsby had to leave the room. Probably wasn't the best choice of film for our first date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The Shaggy Dog - a 2006 remake of one of my favourite childhood films. The cast was surprisingly good. The standout was Robert Downey Jr, wickedly hamming it up as the villian of the piece. Nobody plays a pantomime baddy quite like RDJ. Danny Glover and Kristin Davis (from Sex and the City) played their parts well without ever stretching themselves, and Zena Grey, who plays the teenage daughter was quite good and may be one to watch. Tim Allen was in the lead role, and appears to have become Disney's go-to guy for family comedy. His incessant mugging and gurning begins to grate after about 30 seconds and after 20 years on TV people must surely have realised by now that he's a one-trick pony. The film started out quite well and had some good parts, but was let down badly towards the end by Disney relying on annoying CGI animals when it ran out of ideas. The final shot of the film just hammered this home, a CGI Old English sheepdog surfing on the beach in Hawaii, on 2 legs no less. Ridiculous.Overall - **1/2 (the extra half is for Robert Downey Jr)Donkey Punch - A British thriller about 3 young English girls who are on holiday in Spain and meet 4 English sailors. They get invited back to their luxury yacht where they sail out to sea and take loads of drugs and proceed to have an orgy. Fairly soon one of the girls ends up dead (by way of the titular donkey punch) the decision is made to throw the body overboard, and before long the girls are trying to escape and the guys are plotting a way to blame each other. Really enjoyed this film, and not just for the gratuitous sex and violence! It really was a lot of fun to watch, though very dark in places. My only grumbles are that they didn't quite delve deeply enough into the guys characters to get a real understanding of them all (by the end I was still getting mixed up with who was who), and they didn't give enough time to the parts of the story where the guys seperated into factions to try and double cross each other. It could have been full of twists and turns and really been excellent, but as mentioned above, it relied more on sex and violence and shock value. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing (if you go and see a film called Donkey Punch you pretty much know what you're going to get), it just could have been much more.Still, highly recommended.**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 And for the blink and you'll miss it snatch of Monica's muff through her dress.That's balls, it don't happen. Believe me, I've checked.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The French Connection Watched this on telly last night. Gene Hackman was pretty awesome in it, really on the edge. It's an old film so the 'police work' can seem a bit laughable these days, but it's got a good old fashioned car chase as well so I can't complain.

Alkaline Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Watched this afternoon:Dominion- Prequel to the Exorcist: Ok i guess, there wasn't enough back story really and it kind of came across a little like a separate entity to the Exorcist where the story overlaps rather than a direct prequel. I've seen a lot worse though and there were a few jumpy moments but effects-wise it was a bit like a TV movie.**1/2 (out of 5) Munich- Well, i always find Spielberg's Jewish heritage films very moving and a great watch but i felt that this one was a bit hit or miss. There were some very poignant scenes and some interesting assumptions made and it was sad in places but i found it a bit trite at times. Eric Bana was good in the main role, as was Geoffrey Rush, though Daniel Craig was terrible. I would recommend it though as it's worth a watch.*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 That's balls, it don't happen. Believe me, I've checked....It does, seriously. She walks through the doorway in a white kind of dress and you can see through. If not then the lighting has performed a seriously co-incidental optical illusion.Irreversible is a great film. I don't think Monica's character's 'tunnel' would have been feeling too good after that romantic interlude. Worst bit is when you see someone appear in the tunnel behind them, sees what is happening and does an about turn.I was really disappointed by Donkey Punch. It started off OK but just felt like an endless shouting match as it progressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Gran TorinoRented this last night. It's excellent, superb acting. Eastwood is immense throughout the film and it's a lot more lighthearted than I thought it was going to be (with the exception of the final act of course).It also made my girlfriend cry. I always thought crying at films was something people said they did but never actually happened.Top notch. All the praise fired at this film was deserved.

ca_gere Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 It also made my girlfriend cry. I always thought crying at films was something people said they did but never actually happened.You've never choked up even just a little bit? Not a lot of dramas do it to me but I've gotten emotional over a few documentaries. I remember that bit in Murderball where it suddenly dons on the guy how awful its gonna be to be confined to a wheelchair, that was a swallow the lump moment.I remember a few years ago I was watching a TV show in which three artists did a portrait each of a famous person and the famous person had to choose their favourite to keep. It came to the end and David Dickinson was brought into the room to choose. The first one was revealed and he was impressed by the level of detail and care taken over it, the second one he was intrigued by the abstract nature of it and found it amusing.... The cloth came off the third one and without saying a word he just filled up and had this awe struck look on his face. You could tell he had been properly moved by the portrait and that the artist had captured some hidden part of him that he keeps away from the public. I felt a tear streak down my face... It was at that point I realised I had been unemployed for far too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I've cried but I've definitely had a bigger emotional response from them.I might have had some aww moments (in fact I said "awww" at the same moment in Gran Torino that made her cry) but it doesn't get tears streaming down my face.The most upset I've been about an on screen death was more of anger at the sudden and unexpected death of one of my favourite characters in Serenity.

The Kernel Loaf Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Inglourious BasterdsAbsolutely top notch. There is a LOT of dialog (similar to what Death Proof was like), but it only serves to build up each major scene to its unexpected twists and the climax. Definitely worth checking out.

The whole thing was very well done - cleverly made, excellent story and.. as violent and dark as ever from Tarantino.I'd definitely recommend going to see it!

Paulscoconutass Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Paris Lockdown: follows a shit-load of guys in the Paris underworld crime ring. icks all the boxes of a gangster type film; money, guns, cars, drugs, wimin, feuds, violence etc and in the end... money talks. Good if you like your Gangsters, otherwise, watch Romanzo Criminale instead! Score: 6/10Haggard: Watched this again after a few years and wasn't really expecting much but it was still surprisingly good, and genuinely funny. Just don't dismiss it on the grounds that you hate Jackass. Last 20 minutes are a let down. Score: 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
