Noodleman Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Jarhead Was interesting, the start was very Full Metal Jacket lite. Then they actualy went to war and it was all building up pretty nicely and then Bam the war is over, film over. While it was a nicely shot and well acted film, nothing really happened and I struggle to find a reason for making it. 5/10
DiemetriX Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Paycheck Good Idea. Fancy made. and I like the Envelope thing. I was entertained the hole time but thers a lot of bad / crappy things in it. Some of the action sequences are just plain Bad. For a john Woo movie it was a big let down. 6.8/10
BlueStar Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Superman Returns - 4/10 Needlessly long considering hardly anything happens, me and my girlfriend lost the will to live by the end of it. Could have been about an hour shorter if everytime something fell or flew we didn't get about 5 minutes of slow motion close-up footage of it, and if there wasn't a 20 second reaction shot after everything anyone said or did (Along with people standing around at the end of each scene like they left the camera rolling by accident) . Also, Superman came across as being a bit of a bellend. The drawn-out, pointless meandering reminded me of The Hulk quite a bit. There were a few highlights, like how they work in the manditory "It's a bird! It's a plane!" line, and some of Kevin Spacy's moments (Like his Kenneth Williams style exclaimation of "Krrrryptonite!"), but overall, mediocre.
Jimbob Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls Jim Carrey's second outing as the rubber faced pet loving detective. In this film, Ace must rescue a bat from another animal lover (he loves dead ones on the walls) before a tribal war breaks out. The second film is better than the first but only by a little bit. A good laugh if your in the mood for a comedy film. 8/10 Goldeneye Pierce Brosnans first outing as the famous James Bond 007. If you've played the game (most people i know have) then the game and film follow each other perfectly. A good storyline with good acting makes this film worth watching again and again. 9/10
Dan_Dare Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I was talking to ViPeR about this earlier, about which Terminator film i like best. Although i don't 'hate' Terminator 3, i feel that it just doesn't compare with the quality of T1 and T2. For me, the script in the first two films just blows the third out of the water. At this moment in time, i think i slightly prefer The Terminator to Terminator 2, purely because of Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese. An excellent saviour. One thing that puzzles me is this: Arnie made a truely terrifying bad guy. So, why in God's name don't they give him more parts as a villain?! I really don't know. he's pretty damn excellent in The Terminator. I can't decide if Robert Patrick is better or not though. they both play their parts really well.
dabookerman Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 So, why in God's name don't they give him more parts as a villain?! Ice to meet you
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were both two huuuge mistakes. I think i may have to try hypnosis to forget these films.
Dan_Dare Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 indeed. god bless Batman Begins though. my god that's a good movie.
triforce_keeper Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 pirates : dead mans chest: I really liked this film and Johnny Depp is absolutly fantastic in it!!!! Johnny makes the film funny, Keira makes the film sexy and Orlando makes the film cool. Nice package brillaint film! 10/10
BlueStar Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Clerks 2 - Ace, best film I've seen for a canny while. Had me and my girlfriend in stiches at points.
immy Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Pirates of whatever it's called This movie is just terribly bland it is extremally boring and takes all the good bits of the first movie and throws it out. Kiera knightly is terrible in it she can't act at all and jonney depp is better and more funny as a secondary charcter not the main part that he was in this. This gets 3/10

Ferris bueler's day off: what a movie.U can't take it serious otherwise you will hate it.It was like the american pie of it's day but didn't involve some horny 12 year olds trying to get ''''''layed'''''''!It was a classic.....It had the now called duff man song in it OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!They wrecked a gorgeous car. 9/10=excellent u must see it or die trying
Dan_Dare Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 For those wondering- the song is called Oh Yeah! and it's by a band called Yello. Ace song.
triforcemario Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 28 Days Later... Awesome movies, beats all the zombie movies you get these days by miles (coughcough*resident evil*coughcough*Dawn of the dead remake*coughcough), and with a realistic storyline and concept, plus, the music in it rocks and the mansion scene at the end is pure brilliance. 10/10.
gaggle64 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 13 Conversations About One Thing - Stupendously well shot drama about the lives of a group of New Yorkers who's lives start to intertwine as events cause them to wonder about the secret of happiness in life. A beautiful ensemble performance from a fairly unkown cast and great script join togther to form one of the most phenominal film's I have ever seen. Utterly sublime in every way. 10/10 Batman Begins - A simply phenomnal cast including Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson, is quite frankly spoilt by a clumsy script and a terrible plot that makes little sense. In a key scene early in the film Bruce Wayne, (Bale) upon completing his generic-kick-ass Ninja training refuses to execute a local thief, quiping: "I'm not an executioner!" However he seems to have few qualms about killing everyone else, including the Ninjas he trained with, and then later a number of cops. The realistic style is interesting and some may thrill at seeing Batmans roots, but ultimately the film pales desperately in the face of Tim Burton's original dark, surrealist masterpiece. The lack of a proper supervillain to match Gothams new-found superhero only seals the deal. Dissapointing. 5/10
Monopolyman Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The Fugitive- 9/10 Goes along with Pulp Fiction and The Usual Suspects as the greatest crime movies of the 90's (imo). Consistantly producing suspenseful moments and entertaining from start to finish. Best bit... "I didn't kill my wife" "I don't care" ...and the whole scene after that
triforce_keeper Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Bring It On! hehe Even though Kirsten Dunst does a pretty crap performance in acting I still love this film its great! 9/10
nekunando Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The Break Up Went to see this with my girlfriend on Friday night and quite enjoyed it (always found Vince Vaughan very funny ) but there didn't really seem to be much of an end to it. 6.5/10
Fresh Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Battle Royal 40ish asian kids get druged in a bus thinking they are going on a feild trip, get thrown on empty island, given weapons and told to kill each other (each kid has a different weapon from paper fans to a mobile sanner to show where the other kids are and from bin lids to shotguns), the last one alive wins. A gruesome fest of murder, lies and pointless violence mount up with a dodgy storyline to create a less than convincing plot. All the better when you discover one of the kids didnt get drugged but just signedup for the thrill. Overall i loved this film, with all of its "wooops you have an axe in your head!" attitude. 9/10 ^^ somebodies been having fun with a uzi
demonmike04 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 BATTLE ROYAL ROCKS! I only saw ten minutes of it a few months ago.. were did you buy/watch it?
Hero-of-Time Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Just got back from seeing Over the Hedge. 7/10. It had a cool story and was very funny in places especially where the Racoon is explaining where all the traps are oh and the THX part had me in stitches.
Jav_NE Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire: Pretty good film by Potter standards, certainly one of the best so far from the books, although i still want to burn whoever plays Hermione's face off. She's so annoying, i cant stand her. Anyway, there were some pretty cool moments in the film that captured the book well, evidently the Triwizard Tournament tasks so that was cool. Theres still some dodgy acting and bits left out, but its better than other book-tie-ins i've seen, i.e The Da Vinci Code. 7/10

Although I'd give it more than 7/10. 9 at the most. This Is Spinal Tap. This film needs no introduction, I don't think I need to tell you anything about This Is Spinal Tap, if you've never seen/heard of it, buy the DVD. I watched it on DVD with the commentary on, which is the band members just talking crap, highly amusing. I would give you a link to its page on Wikipedia, but there are spoilers there. My verdict is 11/11. ^ See what I did there
