Alan Cynic Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Like Lester I watched Silent Hill, but gave up about half-way through....combination of sleepiness and not-very-impressedness. Watched Silence of the lambs for the gazillionth time last night........must ask my mum to show me the finer points of dressmaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Treated myself to "The Mist" on Blu Ray yesterday so watched it last night as I had heard good things about it. I really enjoyed it and was surprised with the bleak non hollywood type ending. Going to watch the black and white version at the weekend.

Alan Cynic Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Spot on......also, it was so cartoony it wasn't scary ('spose that was hard to avoid though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Tropic Thunder. Disappointing, but quite a few laugh out loud moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim.. Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just suffered "Quantum Of Solace". Utter shite. I've played video games with a better story. Lots of action ... perhaps even too much and a lot of dumbing down, possibly to appeal to Americans. Two Stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickle Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 One Day RemovalsI found it rather amusing.(Following from Raindance.co.uk):Short Synopsis:Six corpses.Two removal men.One bad day.Review:Two Aberdeen removal men have a day from hell. A simple job in a remote part of the Scottish countryside goes awry when they hit a drunk staggering in the middle of the road and decide to load him into the van and take him to hospital. Seems like a good plan, but then the bodies just keep piling up.Very funny dark comedy set in the locale and dialect of Aberdeen, it resonates with a Scottish humour that reveals both a practicality and a bravery that resonates and keeps this story feeling both real and surreal in turns. The dialogue and action is unrestrained and unless you are familiar with broad Scottish dialects, in this case Doric - apparently brought to the North east of Scotland by rural Spartans - you may not get every word but the intent behind the words is clear and evocative. The writer / director Mark Stirton lets the camera get close enough to observe the craziness without intruding. The cast are natural although and what some might lack in screen craft they more than make up for in personality. One Day Removals couldnt be any more indie and for budding filmmakers this is a great example of what can be done with little money and a lot passion.

Le Stu Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 AVP2 : RequeimResident Evil : ExtinctionThis is what happens when your Lovefilm says you need films in your queue and your mind goes blank. Oh well... I can probably get to the controls before they send me Jumper.Resident Evil isn't that terrible actually, just boring as fuck in the second half, but that one has a lot of Milla Jovovich in it:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Starship troopers 3.They must have spent all their money getting Casper Van Dien back. Then they didn't even use him that much.Effects - crap.Props - crap.Plot - crap.Nazi/Religious themes - Overplayed to the max.Jolene Blalock - You just would. Can't save the whole film though.Ridiculous. The ending looked like a monster from fecking red dwarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaOfEnergy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Silent hill is awesome, i know it wasnt well recieved but i wasnt into the games at all and just thought some of the imagery/ideas were really cool. Also i saw Taken at the cinema, thought it was shithot, liam neeson is solid in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I really enjoyed Wall E. Pretty original stuff.Seen it a thousand times now but I re-watched Arlington Road last night. Good Lord, that's a good film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I watched From Dusk Till Dawn 2 : Texas Blood Money on Monday. Only the second film in history that I've switched off before the end because it was so bad.I watched A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 last night. It came close to being the third.

Diesel Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Watched X-Files : I Want To Believe on my PC the other day.X-Files : I Want To Cry What have the done with my series???*** MAJOR RANT AND VERY MINOR SPOILER ALERT ***I mean, it's the X-sies we're talking about here, Mouldy, The Sculls and Big Watty (Skinner's appears for about 15 secs). One of the best series ever...and they bring out this...this...this...thing!It's just awful....and boring.Mulder with a beardScully's back to being a doctorThe Big Yin as a Beast Priest (he's dreadful) Nae Aliens at allAnd to add insult to injury, it's got a fucking RAPPER! (Xibit) who does absolutely fuck-all except the standard rapper scowl and barked lines routine.Shame on everyone involved...and note to Casting...read my lips...RAPPERS CAN'T ACT.

Lemonade Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Watched X-Files : I Want To Believe on my PC the other day.blahblahblahPretty much my thoughts on it as well, I was really disappointed. Billy Connoly was awful, Xzibit was awful, there was absoutely no chemistry between Mulder and Scully, and there was no sci-fi / monsters / aliens involved at all! It's about a fucking Russian crimelord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just watched 'Not Another Teen Movie'. Total nonsense. Some giggle moments but I think I'd rather have watched the original chick flicks that they were taking the mick out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Just watched Prince Caspian. I thought it was pretty good. I spent a lot of time as a kid reading the Chronicles of Narnia books and sat goggled-eyed in front of the telly watching the BBC series when it was on as well (along with the cracking Box Of Delights) so it wasn't quite how i'd hope it would be but i still enjoyed it. Major gripe with the boy who played Prince Caspian's "Spanish" accent though, it was rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I recently watched Pan's Labyrinth, which was definitely a good watch. Some nasty bits for sure, it has war themes and torture and war which is always bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Collateral.I think I'm actually beginning to like Tom Cruise as an actor. He's a shite person, but as an actor, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
