Miss Congeniality is a pr0 film.

SO bad that it's good? Yeah I can see that. :D

Sandra Bullock is amazing! She's one of those actresses that I can instantly warm to everytime I see her on screen, whatever movie she's in. I used to say the same thing about Crash, but after watching it numerous times, it's definitely a brilliant movie. Though, it's still totally beyond me as to why it beat Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture at the oscars. Brokeback is obviously the better movie, especially when factoring in Ledgers performance (Which he should have won the oscar for too. Another totally wrong decision on the academy's part).

 

I've rambled.

I don't find her amazing, I just get annoyed by her whiny voice and overacting. ::shrug:

 

 

Cliffhanger

 

Love it. One I grew up watching. We were watching it last night and getting thrills on John Lithgow's voice.

Casino Royale - seen this at least 4/5 times but still think its a quality movie. Just makes me think about how bad Quantum of Solace was compared to this. 9/10

I really enjoyed QoS the second time. A massive chunk of the plot is in Casio Royale.

The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3

 

I liked it. It's got two of my favourites actors in it, Travolta and Washington, not to mention the funny sector 7 guy from Transformers. Travolta is really awesome as the bad guy, though he needs to cut out the constant use of Motherfuckers. It's pretty sweet visually too, fast moving trains and NYC city skyline.

Watchmen

 

600full-watchmen-poster.jpg

 

Now i've not read the graphic novel or knew anything about Watchmen before going to see in this but I thought it was very well made. The action was good and was wrapped around a story that kept me entertained to the end. There was something stopping it from being amazing but it's a solid

 

8/10

 

from me. :grin:

 

12 Monkeys

 

600full-12-monkeys-poster.jpg

 

I like Bruce Willis in this and Brad Pitt, well acted I thought! The concept is and the story is good but I felt the ending didn't live up to the rest of the film which let it down for me but a solid effort!

 

7/10.

 

My Sisters Keeper

 

600full-my-sister%27s-keeper-poster.jpg

 

a very moving film, a bit schmaltzy in places but otherwise they do not fall into the traps and keep it real. Some of the plot elements were not fully explored but it got me very depressed and near to tears by the end of it. Everyone else in the cinema was in crying!

 

7/10

 

17 Again

 

600full-17-again-poster.jpg

 

I'm very surprised by this film. It was much better and funnier than I expected. It was still nothing special but a lot of fun and Zac Efron (first time I've seen him act) plays the part very well. :D Though Matthew Perry is looking aged.

 

7/10

 

G-Force

 

600full-g--force-poster.jpg

 

Wow! This was nothing good but I enjoyed it! (Especially when I get to see it for free) It could have done with more action as it was over before it really got going. The reveal at the end was legendary and got me laughing and I like the characters. :)

 

I hope for a G-Force 2. :p

Really interesting film. I feel I should commend it for being a British film that is completely different. It pretty much fails in what it's trying to do and it starts off slow but it comes together and it is ultimately quite enjoyable.

Long Time Dead

 

I thought this was actually quite entertaining. A bit predictable in most parts and some of the actors were dodgy but entertaining overall.

I look forward to hear what you have to say about it. It's an unusual film.

First one that came to my head was Blades of Glory. (Probably because I just saw Step Brothers.) I thought it was surprisingly funny.

it suprised me in it's quality. OK it's obviously a low budget film as the cgi isn't the greatest but the ending is fantastic :D

a bit vague isn't it? I can only list you my faves

 

classic comedies:

airplane 1 and 2

naked gun

 

teen comedies:

most are shit... but

 

ferris buelers day off is a classic

I have a soft spot for not another teen movie too..

 

most jim carrey films are funny the best being liar liar and please don#t believe people when they tell you cable guy is good.. it's fucking awful

 

and as for recent comedies... I don't take to this "superbad-esque same 4 actors in every fucking comedy film these days" so that's up to you.. I liked forgetting sarah marshall though...

 

 

again I'm just naming the obvious ones :)

Agreed, I was suprised at how awesome it was.

 

If you havn't seen them then ;

 

Anchorman

Not Another Teen Movie.

 

Two of my favourites.

 

Alternatively, classics like Road Trip or American Pie always hold a place in my heart.

It was actually supposed to be in black and white, which makes the CGI a little more bearable but the production company didn't think a black and white film would sell so they had to rush colour into the creatures.

 

Nonetheless it is low budget CGI but still better than other out there (Megashark Vs Giant Octopus lol.)

 

And yea, I loved the film. Especially the Dark Tower references.

There's an excuse for poor CGI, but none for lack of plot, good characters and interesting scenes.

C'mon, when the little lady took a bullet I was jumping for joy. That was excellent build up!

True, it's always fun to see someone that annoying getting killed. For some reason my (and my Dad, Step Mum and Sister) thought that the film was terrible. We still don't understand how it got good reviews.

Nooo! Tis a delightful entertaining experience. It might be though she used all her quality when she was in Demolition Man, since she wasn't that good in Speed, despite it being quality film.

 

Robocop 3

 

Not as good as the first 2, and even works despite not having Peter Weller, but I was surprised to see how many people from the first film were in it.

Demolition Man

Random violence set in the future, swearing is illegal. One thing which confused me was that they say spicy foods are against the law, yet every restaurant is a Taco Bell. However when you see Sly getting his meal it doesn't look very Taco-esque. Plus some awesome Chinese racism as one of his many quality lines from Wesley Snipes.

Role Models

I always love random swearing that come for no reason, and having a little black kid swearing in every sentence is classic. Plus it's also got me interested in that role play shit, I fancy giving it a go at least once.
