Posted October 17, 2006 Tell me Something Korean remake of Se7en, and I have to say despite the language barrier it's probably more accesible to you all. Free on Film Four tonight.. getting a rerun later in the week it rounds up Film Four's Korean season. The film is less farfetched.. there was some really weird detective work and quite a complex plot for the average film goer.. this is more accesible by making the detective work more believable. There's more blood too, but Fincher's gritty style that made him a master of film is still in tact. It's quite a bit better. While Se7en was an absolute classic with an all star performance from Kevin Spacey. This film totally rules. It'll be a late one, but I honestly urge you to check it out.. and stick with it. It's not as narrative intensive as Se7en and there's less character rivalry- perhaps that's a culture barrier I've been oblivious to by their body language. If you liked Se7en definitely check it- it's not too repetitive and you will appreciate the references. If you are up for a gritty crime thriller and haven't seen Se7en (Why not!) then check it out. Much deeper than your average kack. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2006 Jerry Maguire Man I love this flick, its one of my favourite films of all time. The whole relationship between Jerry Maguire ( Tom Cruise ) and Rod Tidwell ( Cuba Gooding Jr ) is just outstanding. I know alot of people consider it a chick flick but I think there is alot more to the film than the whole love story side of it. Its annyoying to think that Tom didnt get an oscar for this and for Last Samurai, but then he is hated in Hollywood so its understandable. 10/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2006 Maybe it's cuz I'm young but I didn't find any of it funny. It may be one of those films that you find a lot funnier once you get older? Last night, i sat on my sofa, with a warm blanket, a big bag of malteasers, and watched Predator. Night's in don't come much bigger than this. 10/10 for the night-in. 9/10 for the movie. There's so many good one liners that you will be quoting for the rest of your life. GET TO DA CHOPPA!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2006 9/10 for the movie. There's so many good one liners that you will be quoting for the rest of your life. GET TO DA CHOPPA!! "If it bleeds, we can kill it!" Though my personal favourite has to be when Arnire nails a Commie to the wall with a knife. "Stick around!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2006 Terminator 2 Simply a classic. Good special effect for its time and the story is gripping throughout. Especially the future Sarah Connor sees and how nobody believes her adds a lot to the film. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as an actor is outstanding. You really think he is some kind of stupid machine that can't show any emotions and talks monotonously :P 9.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you like Time Travel flicks then give this a look. 9/10 Great film. Seen it about 4 or 5 years ago, and bits of it sice then on TV. I've been trying to find it on DVD for the last cou7ple of months, alas, no luck. I suppose I have to get onto Amazon. Anyway, The Player- 9/10 Very good film. Certainly one for the fans of films and the industryGreat ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2006 "If it bleeds, we can kill it!"Though my personal favourite has to be when Arnire nails a Commie to the wall with a knife. "Stick around!" Outrage: my dvd copy is some kind of bastardised cut that, for some reason, deos not feature 'stick around'. It's fine to see a mans still twitching arm being blown off at the shoulder, or a dudes head exploding, but nooooooooo! not a classic one liner and knife death!

Posted October 19, 2006 The Grudge (Japanese original) Chances of you getting a chance to see this are slim and none. But if you do. Ask to see the DVD then burn it! It is a crime against cinema. 2/10.. I guess.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2006 Memoirs Of A Geisha Just watched this for the first time and I totally loved it. I think the whole style that films such as this and others like Flying Daggers and Hero bring to the screen is outstanding. The sheer beauty of these kind of films just cannot be matched. 10/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2006 The Departed, I liked it, most of my friends didn't. It was partially predictable, enjoyable, funny in places. The three people I went with seemed to care more about Martin Scorcese and his directing skills, and from that PoV I guess it was disappointing, but I just took it as a story at face value and had a decent night out. The ending wasn't great though, seemed like he tried too hard to avoid a cliché ending but got one anyway. All the actors were on top of their game, although I'm not sure about Damon's accent.... 7.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 21, 2006 The Devil Wears Prada This was actually a very good film. I went in with expectations that I will leave the cinema fairly pleased but there was the depth in the character (the boss woman) that made me feel really sorry for her and just the overall movie made me smile all night, a good feel good movie. A really nice movie, after watching it you feel like hugging your most hated enemy (kinda). 8.7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
