Guest Bob Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 This film was bloody brilliant. Never seen it before, just got it on one of those "3 DVDs for 10" type deals. The opening fight scene is awesome, the main characters are all bastards and the final shootout is probably one of the longest, bloodiest and most violent I've ever seen.It's got that "end of an era" type feel to it. Thematically it's about the same as the final scene of The Searchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 The Terminator on DVD. Still a brilliant film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Watched a might brutal disturbing film last night, called Seed. It was bizarre, opening scene with actual footage of dogs being skinned alive...with no relevance to the film what so ever. A lot of weird camera work and gorey murders. It kinda had a storyline, but wasn't very clear and seemed to be overpowered by the violence. Some bits for me a little too muchWould only advise watching if you can handle pointless gore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I watched "What Happens In Vegas" last night. Undoubtedly a chick flick but it had a few laugh out loud moments. Ashton Kutcher actually has really good comic timing and was pretty funny throughout. Cameron Diaz on the other hand was pretty hopeless though. She isn't a good enough actress to be a 'serious' actress, but she isn't funny enough to be a comedy actress. Plus she looked weird and really old in this film. As chick flicks go it was pretty good, and funny, although the happy ending could be seen coming by the time the opening credits started. Only real criticism is that the whole "battle of the sexes" thing has just been done to death and is a total clich. Really, in 2009 should have a film have 3 whole scenes dedicated to a couple arguing over him leaving the toilet seat up?Thumbs up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her face is more chewed-up-toffee like than ever in this film That said, it is pretty good for a formulaic rom com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulscoconutass Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I Spit on Your Grave: much like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre this film has global notoriety for being one of the most graphic films ever, banned for 20 years, heavily edited etc etc. And much like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre the original cut is one of the biggest let-downs ever... just pure crap, and the audio track is appalling! Not worth wasting any time or money on this. 1/10Intacto: at the opposite end of the scale this wee Spanish gem was much better than I remembered first time round. Based around the idea of luck, and how it can be stolen, it's kind of like The Cooler - only it doesn't suck ass. Mentioned it earlier in the thread and wonder whether anyone else thinks it's as good? Note: If you do like intacto (or films about luck / gambling / underground betting) another great film to check out is 13 Tzameti. Check out the original before the US re-make comes out...

FatHand Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I watched "The Lives of Others" last night. Excellent movie, I highly recommend this to anyone. Don't let the subtitles put you off, with all good foreign movies you quickly don't notice. No plot mentions in this post but I will say that it's a drama set in East Berlin about 4 years before the wall came down and involves the secret monitoring of some of the leading cultural figures of the time.

Did a Communist tour in Berlin almost 3 years ago and the tour guide told us about this film because it was making lots of noises in Germany. Needless to say we had to wait another year and a bit until we saw it, but it was worth the wait.It also won an Oscar!And most of the methods in the film are true!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing was, I thought it was a bit long, but to get the characters deep and keep the plot detailed you couldn't really cut much out. Great shame that the lead detective (main character) Ulrich Mhe died not long after the films scooped all the awards... brilliant swansong though! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Deathnail Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I absolutely loved "The Lives of Others" - utterly compelling movie. Incredibly well told story with excellent pace to the action.I watched "King of Kong" based on all the recommends from here. What a frickin' ace movie! I honestly could not believe how good it was. I started watching "Wrath of Khan" after but fell asleep half way through. Still loved it but just didn't have the stamina... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
