Posted February 26, 2007 In The Line of Fire A great thriller from the 90's which is much better than most of the effort's we get nowadays. Some great scenes, a brill sgript and Clint Eastwood is super cool and smooth. Maybe the fact that the assasin had a "wooden" gun is a bit far-fetched, but hey who cares when your totally into the film! 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 26, 2007 Hot FuzzDoesn't actually start until 20 minutes from the end. Ironically, the films primary fault is the same one of it's lead character: it just can't switch off, trying to fit middle England satire into a hole that only bombastic, high action lampoonage can fill. Where's the vacumnuss lack of character development? Where's the mindless gunplay? The meaningless blood and violence? The rediculous, bawdy dialogue? Where's the sorry excuse of a plot that was written on the bus? 6/10 I've just seen it, and I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26, 2007 The Number 23 Fairly entertaining if not a little OTT, Jim Carey brings out his darker side (with a slight humorous twist). The ending wasn't really surprising but none the less I enjoyed it. 3/5 Still, I was pretty freaked out when I looked at my cinema ticket again after the film...

You realise if you take the number of the day away from the number of the month you end up with 23 again (25-2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seen it at 20:30 - Edit Just noticed you underlined them whoops. Take away the zeros my man. Also seen it and it was alright. Nice little schizo-babble film. The scenes describing the novel were beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved those, the narrating and overall feel of the book scenes reminded me of Max Payne. It's a shame I didn't manage to see it on the 23rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did I do remember after it though applying the number to anything. For example my user name and my real name added together make 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 26, 2007 Green Street A gritty depiction of football hooliganism, doesn't glamourise it, which is always a good thing. Not as good as Football Factory which has Danny Dyer at his swearing best. Also Elijah Wood is never convincing, does however have a fairly decent plot, and shows how hooligans aren't just working class, so gets some marks for that. 6/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 1, 2007 Hotel Ruanda 9/10. Great movie. Not much else to say... but great. Closer. 8.5/10. Gets better everytime I see it. (and Natalie Portman...) Visitor Q. 10/10. Masterpiece. I think in the future they will talk about Takashi Miike like they talk about Buñuel and Lych nowdays. Legendary. Unforgettable. Visionary. This is completely ahead of it's time... Bravo.
