Posted February 13, 2007 Some Like It Hot A good film, full of silly fun, just what I prefer to watch at 10am when im feeling sleepy. Gotta love Monroe. Ummm...8! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 A Scanner Darkly A striking technical achievement in film making. The plot, being as it is written by a drug crazed maniac about drug crazed maniacs, is difficult to keep track of and even somewhat obscure but the film manages to rise above it. The key theme and moral of the story, about the dangers of drugs and general societies inability to deal with them remain starkly intact and obviously hold a great deal of resonance in today's society. Enthralling and truly psychotic, watch this at least once. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 14, 2007 If you liked "A Scanner Darkly" you should definately check out Richard Linklater's earlier rotoscoped feature, "Waking Life". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 A Scanner Darkly Does it pick up after the first 30 mins, then? I saw the first 30 mins on IGN and it was very dire. And yes, It is out on DVD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 Does it pick up after the first 30 mins, then? I saw the first 30 mins on IGN and it was very dire. And yes, It is out on DVD The whole film is pretty much like that. You've pretty much got to watch the whole thing in order to even have the faintest hope of understanding what's going on. This isn't the Matrix. This is lots of people standing or sitting around having conversations that don't actually make a great deal of sense. (Wait a minute..) Actually should all just watch at least twice - I'm watching it again and the plot's making a bit more sense now. Just watch it will you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 The Machinist - 7/10. Would've been a lot better if I'd not been able to guess some of the things that were going on thanks to certain twists that have appeared in other movies in the last decade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 Wow, I thought that film was awful Oh well... opinions. If you liked "A Scanner Darkly" you should definately check out Richard Linklater's earlier rotoscoped feature, "Waking Life". Waking Life = God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2007 Hot Fuzz! Most random thing ever (especially the last 20mins..crazy!)! 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2007 Final Fantasy Advent Children I think this is the fourth time I watched it but the first with proper dubbing instead of some poor subs. It actually made a lot more sense and I could really concentrate on the images instead of the subtitles. The animation and action sequences are awesome but the storyline is pretty thin but because there are certain symbols I still didn't figure out properly I guess I'll watch it another four times 7.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2007 Borat A lot of hype about it, but it didn't match up to it. The first half of it was typically and predictabley pathetic, but then it started to really heat up and there were some genuinley classic moments in it. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 16, 2007 The Naked Gun Not as much nudity as the title promises... No just kidding. This film is so hilarious and the fact that the people act seriously makes it all the more fun. I don't know what to praise or criticise it simply manages to entertain and amuse on an epic scale. 9.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2007 Hot Fuzz For the kind of film it is, awesome. Entertaining and funnier than I thought it would be. Not a classic, but a great film nonetheless. 6/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2007 Notting Hill I saw it when it was on tele the other day, I'd seen it before but forgotten most of it. There were some funny bits and I enjoyed it quite a lot, more than I thought I would. 7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2007 Arahan Even though my brother said it was crap I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dunno why, it was cheesy and predictable but I liked it. Especially got they got a move like hadouken in it. Palm blast ftw. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2007 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Brilliant film, though I think everyone knows that it is such a very good film in one way or the other. Nicholson is great, as is the guy who plays the chief. Effectively about naturalism and rebellion, which lead to some extremely tense and electrifying scenes (The riot scene is pretty damn good, for example). I can't say much more, really; it's just a really great film. 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
