Benji Posted January 17, 2011 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.*****Love it too. Especially the soundtrack.

Monster Zero Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is one of my favourite films, largely on the basis that it is completely batshit mental.I mean, what the hell was that interrogfation scene with the guy in the cowboy hat all about???!Brilliant anyway.Yeah the big black dude in the jockstrap? Fuck knows. I thought I had missed something when it had got to the end with no real resolution but it seems not. A bit of subsequent on-line research indicates that there may have been about 40 minutes cut out along the way which kind of explains the disjointed nature of it. It certainly must rank as Pacino's most off the wall film... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero 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.I quite liked that but found the revelation of Eli's handicap at the end more than a tad unlikely...

Monster Zero Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Union CityOnly a few quid in HMV. Deborah Harry's film debut. A quirky noir type thing. If you like Coen Bros stuff like Barton Fink or the work of Jim Jarmusch it's probably worth a watch.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I quite liked that but found the revelation of Eli's handicap at the end more than a tad unlikely...I took it that he was given sight again while he carried the book. It was no more unlikely than god really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think I need to watch this again, I seem to have missed something or you have read more into something than I did....Well it seemed like he was able to see pretty well throughout the film and there was a close up at the end of his eyes clouding over as he became blind again, think it was just about the same time as the reveal of the bible being in Braille. I figured he was healed temporarily while he carried god's message seeing as he was supposed to be guided and protected along his journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I thought Sherlock Holmes was decent too.Last film I saw was The King's Speech, and I thought it was brilliant...really moving in parts, and some exceptional acting.

I think this affected me most as I was looking forward to it.I've got to say I enjoyed Lock Stock... And Brad Pitt was good in Snatch. But apart from that all his stuff has either been "Awriiigghhtt myyy saahhhnnnn. Cooocckkkneeeeyyyy" or Madonna. Neither of which I like.But Sherlock Holmes surprised me after I heard it was by him. I think that's why I liked it. I half expected them all to have worse London accents than Dick Van Dyke. And it turned out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Spy Hard - never got round to seeing this before: just after LN kicked it, I put this and Wrongfully Accused on me Lovefilm list. This was alright, nae a patch on the Naked Gun films but there's still plenty of guffaws to be had. 6/10.The Killer Inside Me - been recommended this one, the friend in question said I'd enjoy the mysogny in it. Tongue-in-cheek, of course. I didn't take to it terribly much though, mainly because the accents took even longer to dial-in that the first time I watched The Wire. The ending is rubbish aswell. 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The SwitchJennifer Aniston is a single woman who decides to have a baby via sperm donor, Jason Bateman is her best mate who thinks it's a bad idea and sabotages the plan while drunk. The title kind of explains the premise and it's all pretty predictable but a few decent chuckles, I like Bateman since watching 'Arrested Development' and he is decent enough. Jeff Goldblum pops up as his boss and is typically eccentric and provides a few decent lines.7/10Dinner for SchmucksPaul Rudd is an ambitious employee who is promised a path to better things if he takes part in his boss's regular dinner party where the guests have to take along an idiot. Rudd meets Steve Carell who is a nerdy taxidermist who makes models using dead mice and who seems the ideal idiot. Jemaine Clement pops up as an eccentric artist. A bit up and down, my wife found Carell annoying but I thought it was pretty funny overall.8/10Malcolm XSpike Lee's biopic of the black rights spokesman played by Denzel Washington. Long at just over 3 hours but it seems difficult to judge what they could have cut without properly charting the main stages of his life. Pretty good, I'd not seen it before, Washington is typically impressive.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Black Swan: Fucking loved it. Has the same feel as dark feel Requiem For A Dream (which I think is infuckingcredible too). By far Natalie Portman's best performance to date. Can't recommend it enough, save for one or two very minor annoyances. 9.5/10xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The A-Team - Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Plot holes gaping enough to drive the A-Team van though, but it's a good fun action movie. Way better than the Expendables. There's enough twists and turns in the plot to keep it interesting too.**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
