Paranoid Android Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Social Network - pretty good 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 OrphanAbove average spooky kid flick. A choice of the missus, I expected usual post-Omen-but-not-as-good affair due to black clad lass on cover, turned out to be a good watch with an unexpected twist. Said twist may have been pretty dumb if thought about too much but it was still an enoyable watch.8/10UV paint murals. Fucking UV paint murals. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I finally watched Wall-E for the first time last night after it totally passed me by when it was in the cinema. Toooooo cute. Loved it. 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 127 hours - had high expectations and they were fulfilledI don't think Jeanette will like this.I'm looking forward to seeing it next weekend though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Shutter Island - was ok but a bit too long and I thought the story was handled a bit clumsily, especially the dream sequences which were too often and too 'trippy'. It picks up at the end though as it all starts to come together. Not bad but not Scorcese's finest moment. 3/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't think Jeanette will like this.I'm looking forward to seeing it next weekend though.Oh hahaha. I think I'll cope with the 94 mins that it lasts for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooch_Taylor Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Toy Story - As an adult (in body, probably not mind), I thought I'd not enjoy watching this again. I was proved wrong and actually enjoyed it more than when I first saw it years ago. A mate today told me his friend got his hands on the uncut version of A Serbian Film, watched it and said it takes shock film-making to a new level. He says he's borrowing it from him later this week and offered to copy it for me - I have less than no desire to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Love and Other Drugs.Surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Anne Hathaways nipples went a long way towards that, but I was somewhat dissappointed at the fact they seemed to have her nips out at every opportunity (although it was massively preferable to that akward thinkg they do where they have a naked woman on screen but don't want to show anything, so they use stupid camera angles and scenery to hide her..) but they didn't show any of the token bimbo's chebs off during the holywood sex party scenes..That and some dodgy camera work in the closing scenes aside, I really really enjoyed the movie. It doesn't try to be a tear jerker which I really enjoyed for a change, it wasn't one of those "are you crying yet...?" affairs.Worth a look.7/10.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooch_Taylor Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Up - was warned by a mate that the first ten mins or so are pretty heavy. Still found it pretty harrowing for a kids' film. The whole film is ace tho. Seriously impressed by it. Got it on Blu-ray with a shitload of special features from Asda for 3 cause they'd lost the box. If I'd known how good it was beforehand, I would happily have paid full price. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Kick Ass - saw this last year at the cinema and thought it was a stone cold classic. It kinda loses something on DVD when you aren't having your senses completely battered with bright colours and pounding music. Still good, but def a cinema movie. Or at least watch it on a big TV in the dark with the sound up really high.**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 AirplaneStill really stupid, still really funny.9/10Airplane 2I had never seen this before. Like the first one but on a space shuttle and minus Leslie Neilsen, but with added William Shatner. OK I suppose.7/10The FogRemake of the classic John Carpenter ghosty story. Not great TBH. Pointless remake.4/10The ThingClassic John Carpenter film away to be 'not remade' as it is a prequel. Apparently. My bets are that it will be pish. This remains ace, special effects haven't dated as much as you would think.9/10Pirhana 3-DWatched in 2-D. A good laugh but pretty dreadful. Kelly Brook lasts a surprisingly long time. And has surprisingly long nips.5/10Cemetery JunctionRicky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's film debut. Really pretty good actually.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 127 Hours - I read the book a few years ago and loved it, so naturally the transition to film was gona be exciting. I love the film in a different way to the book however. Can't explain the differences really, in the book he gets hunted by a bear and causes an avalanche - which i was kinda hoping to see but it never materalized. The bone crunching moment was *Gaddds* but James Franco once again prooves his acting ability with an airy performance that encapsulates the raw nature of Ralston.4/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 The A Team It was a passable way of spending a couple of hours, pretty predictable. Lots of explosions and guns... wouldn't have expected anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 127 Hours. I really enjoyed it but I thought I was going to be sick! Actually quite emotional as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 DillingerWarren Oates plays bank robber John Dillinger with Geoffrey Lewis, Harry Dean Stanton and Richard Dreyfus as members of his gang and Michelle Phillips from The Mamas and Papas as his missus. Pretty good gangster flick.9/10CruisingAl Pacino plays a cop in New York who goes undercover into the gay S&M club scene to try and catch a serial killer preying on gay men. Quite a strange wee film that seems to largely abandon any real effort at finding the killer. Features one truly classic scene with Pacino getting off his nuts on what I assume is poppers and dancing like a loon. There is also a fisting scene. Nice.6/10Queen of the DamnedPretty dreadful. Most interesting part was spotting Rowland S. Howard from The Birthday Party in the vampire club when Aaliyah turns up.3/10The FugitiveHadn't seen this in years, it holds up very well, Tommy Lee Jones at his deadpan best.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Little Shop Of Horrors - The 1986 version. Utterly brilliant. Top 80s cast including Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, John Candy, Bill Murray, James Belushi, Christopher Guest. Brilliantly kitsch and awesome songs.***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Book of EliOr Fallout: The Movie as it should be called. Good film ruined by religion to be honest. The most interesting bit was afterwards when I looked up Mila Kunis as her voice, not her face, was bugging the fuck out of me. I knew I'd heard it before but couldn't place it. Meg Griffin.Denzel and Gary Oldman were great, but that's to be expected really and the whole film just IS Fallout. But I wish it didn't have the bible in it. Would have been better if it had been a completely new book or he was starting a new religion or even just magic. One other thing that annoyed me was they never expanded on the "show me your hands" thing. Guess it was cut out of the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard from The Birthday Party in the vampire club when Aaliyah turns up.3/10I have to agree. As a sequel to An Interview With A Vampire (well, it's actually a prequel isn't it? It's about what the vampire actually did before he popped up in the car at the end yeah?) I thought it was piss poor. My girlfriend enjoyed it. I think she read the book. But I'm not convinced that it was worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
