The odd funny moment and 2 good-ish set-pieces, but I was bored throughout mostly, as were the rest of the audience who seemed more intrested in their phones than the big screen. As goafer said a few posts back, "meh...." I wouldn't mind seeing this, but from what you've said it doesn't seem too good.
chairdriver Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Fergie looks stunning in Nine. She's the only reason I want to see the film.
Solo Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 She looks like ET no matter what film she's in. I find ET quite stunning though.
triforce_keeper Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Kill Bill Volumes 1+2 First time watching these in Blu-Ray, and oh my good lord. The movies look STUNNING, seriously, probably the most gorgeous films I have seen on Blu-Ray (if you don't agree tell me what to watch dammit!). Anyway, back to the movies itself. I forgot how bloody good these are, I could watch over and over and over, I love how incredibly hilarious some scenes are, for example when the little girl gets off the bus and is walking to the front door, AMAZING. Has to be one (two?) of my favourite films ever 10/10
Wesley Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Last night I watched... Rec Good/10 At points it was a little bit obvious what was going to happen... oh look... he's standing near a glass door... oh look, it's dark and suddenly a light is going to be turned on, I wonder what will be standing in front of him... The Great Debaters Awesome/10 I love these sort of films. They're a bit obvious, etc... and I've just complained about that. But for these types of films I'm okay with that. 12 Angry Men Double plus good/10 Brilliant film. I'd like to think I would be the good man.
Coolness Bears Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 and the bit when she squishes the eye with her toes!

Beast Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Billy Elliot Nothing was on the telly so I decided to watch this on BBC Three and I'm glad I did. It's fantastic, absolutely loved it. How did I not watch this before? How did I miss this? 10/10
Paj! Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Kramer Vs. Kramer I expected way better. Having Meryl Streep like screaming on the front and various "OSCAR FOR X" on the front etc. The two mains (Dustin Hoffman and Meryl) were both good, and it was..fine. But left me with so little and really uninterestingly filmed/directed. One of those emotion manipulating ones. Eh. Not bad or anything.
dwarf Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Haunting in Connecticut Shite. It's even hard to say the title. 4/10 The Hangover Good. Numerous funny moments, generally enjoyable. Fat guy was actually amusing. The Chinese dude wasn't though, because he tried to abuse his ethnicity too much in order to appear humorous. 8/10

Most disappointing oscar win in the last 30 years along with Chicago and Slumdog.

dwarf Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I didn't realise it was the same person in all films that star that kind of cheap laugh character. They all look the same.

Goafer Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Ghostbusters on Bluray I remember ReZ ranting about how ace it was. It's still Ghostbusters, so by default it's ace, but Bluray was really wasted. All I saw was horrible pixellation, especially on the darker scenes. It's not like it was the TV either like in some cases, it was like someone had put a TV Static filter over the top of it. Film: 9/10 Bluray: 2/10
dan-likes-trees Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Watched Avatar. It was alright. But the 3D didn't work particularly well - kept looking blurry / generally dodgy and really not visually pleasing. Which is a shame what with that being the whole point of the film. Also the cinema's copy kept cutting out which was irritating. And the plot was generic as. And the characters were ridiculous caricatures. Owell at least it was quite good fun. 6 / 10
Beast Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The Final Destination in 3D It's much better when it's 3D than it is in 2D. I watched it in 2D and I thought it weren't bad but in 3D it's much better. Funnily enough, after watching it in 3D, I only started thinking it was the weakest in the series but the 3D paid off well and wasn't overused. 3D effects: 8/10 Movie itself: 6/10
Daft Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 My God. You gave that a 6? Hell I LOVE the series and thought it was abysmal. I'd rather sit through an eternity of Tom Welling internal monologue than see that shit again.

ipaul Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Bruno Short and a little underwhelming. Funny in places, but not great. Not nearly in the same league as Borat and Ali G. 6/10
Beast Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Daft said: Seriously, what earned it those 4 points?! Mostly the death scenes and the bad acting which was a laugh to watch (the escalator part is a massive example to this)

Cube Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Bolt Still very entertaining, even though we had to skip most of the ending because it was too scary for my little brother. My cat was also goggle-eyed at the screen for most of the film, and tried to attack the pigeons. I was also surprised at how black the blacks were on the projector even though it's in the middle of the day. 8/10
Goafer Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Speed Racer Bluray Massively glorious. The best Bluray I've seen so far. 9/10 Has anyone found a Bluray where they force you to watch trailers like on DVDs? I haven't found any trailers at all yet, not even skippable ones. I love Bluray.
