Posted March 5, 2006 Saw Serenity on saturday...... I liked it when it was doin its thing well with the whole pirate pastiche thing and all that, really liked the look of it all too. problem was that...I dunno, maybe it's because i have no idea what FireFly was like, but the middle section really, really plummeted into self indulgence while Whendon brought out a bloated extras cast nobody in their right mind would give a shit about. still, I find his humour fairly amusing so it was nice to see a sci-fi flick that didn't take itself too seriously. oh yeah, it also needed more psychic teen ninja action. way more. overall, 6.5/10 because it made me angry for being shit sometimes.

Posted March 11, 2006 Stormriders Director's Cut (or whatever) I don't know how to describe it best but I'd say it's a bit like an Anime only with real actors. But it has the typical fighting style like DragonballZ, Naruto... with flying through the air and lights coming out of the hands, however, it has a very deep story and great characters. There are also a lot of different characters but they don't really confuse you. The pace of the movie is pretty slow and I was constantly waiting for fight scenes which were pretty disappointing due to bad computer effects. Still a nice movie because of the story but it clearly needed a bigger budget. 6.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2006 Serenity I can see why this was given 'film of the year' by Jonathon Ross. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Surprisingly deep storyline, great humour and comical characters and great action sequences. Star wars/Matrix+Buffy = Serenity. The only thing I could quibble about is that some characters really could've been left out and had hardly any purpose or contribution to the film. Apart from that, bloody fantastic. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2006 The Hills Have Eyes Rating Fuckin A This film is the best horror movie I have seen in a long while. It bests The Devils Rejects as the best 2k+ horror film imho. Sticking extremely close to the original, the vast majority of the film is 100% faithful to the original, except there are quite a few new scenes, and everything is explained a lot more, so you know who the hell these guys are, and why they are doing what they do. The actors were extremely well chosen, especially the 'spaz' guys. The actor who played Pluto would never match up to Michael Berryman, who made the original so famous, but each give their own strong performances. Emilie De Ravin(sp...?) of Lost fame is especially nice to look at throughout, and her sometimes annoying performance is made more pleasing thanks to her sexiness. There are also some brilliant scenes of violence, with some excellent use of a pick axe. Go watch NOW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2006 The hitchiker's guide to the galaxy I'll give it 8/10. It was funny. Not as funny as the book is though. I really should find the time to read the five book trilogy One night at the roxbury again 8/10. This was so stupid it was funny. did you grab my ass?

Posted March 16, 2006 Brothers grimm 7/10 There wasn't anything completely wrong about this movie, it was good but not great. Had fun spotting all the references to the tales I read/was read to when I was a kid. Actually I still do occasionally read them. Too bad that the modern kids get the watered down versions of the stories. Going to see Prime or 9th Company tomorrow. Still trying to decide which one to see.

Posted March 16, 2006 Serenity a solid 7/10. it had the potential to be 10/10 if they had made it 1 thing or another instead of trying to make it part comedy part thriller alot of sci-fi. 100% sci-fi would have made it 10/10 imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2006 if serenity had tried to be some kind of po faced action flick it would have been turd. Whendons humour saved it from being rathr dull at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2006 Seen a few films recently:- Serenity 7/10 enjoyable but disapointing for a film with such a fan following, tried to be too many things, too many plotlines and no real ending as such. Good action scenes though. Will watch again to see if I enjoy it more. Kung Fu Hustle 5/10 After good reviews and recommendations from friends I watched this expecting to be impressed, I wasn't. At best mildly amusing but most of it wasn't funny and downright cringe worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2006 Ratcatcher Because this was an art film, the story didn't really matter, but it was good anyway. 'Bout a Glaswegian kid living amongst rubbish during a 70s bin-men strike. Sounds pretty nasty but I thought it had some stark beauty about it. A lot of the shots were very reminiscent of stil photographs, and there's one where the boy is stood in a cornfield that I would happily give up all my other posters to put on my wall in huge print. Very nice. 8/10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
