Slaggis Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Disturbia Great. I love movies with a good bit of suspense rather than all random gory bits. Also, it's the first teen horror movie I've seen in a long while where they develop the characters well so you actually want them to live. Also, both the the main characters, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) and Sarah (Ashely Carlson) are both incredibly hot, it's hard to concentrate on the movie. It ends well too, which is strange for a movie like this. Not utterly amazing or anything, but good, which is a nice change from the usual crap. 8/10 The Faculty Interesting. Some new species of bug takes over teachers, and then everyone else bar a group of highschool kids, including Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett. I really grew to like Wood's character, and the ending wasn't too shabby. A couple of great moments that make you cover your eyes, and a couple of not so great moments. For the most part though, it's pulled off quite well. 7/10 Arachnophobia Lol. A bunch of spiders takes over a town, mating with local ones to make deadly species. It's a comedy horror, which some truly terrible effects in places. That doesn't make it worse though, infact it probably made it better. The spider at the end was...dissapointing. I was expecting a huge beast, but instead I got some overgrown house spider. Not a bad laugh though. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 No Country For Old Men What the hell is all the fuss about, I don't really get it! Yeah it was OK but nothing spectacular, seen a hell of a lot of better movies. 5/10 Oh and just to clarify I don't care if the directing, cinematography, etc was perfect, I'm rating it on my personal enjoyment of the film so just remember this before you start the flaming...

Guest bluey Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 voices of a distant star/she and her cat nice little film - very quietly moving... i give the film itself a 5/10... but i have to be honest and say that i bought the dvd solely for the short film "she and her cat" in the extras... which is a really nice little animation about the day-to-day musings of a young woman's pet cat as she goes about her life ^___^ 8/10 just for dvd extra goodness (and super kawaii reversible cover art) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Voices of a Distant Star (it is also rare in having an English title that sounds far better than the Japanese one), but thought She and Her Cat was a bit silly... I liked the fact that it was black and white though, and of course the animation in both is great. (but not as good as his latest work, 5cm/s, which is quite frankly the best animation I have ever seen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxygen_waste, et al. That's the Coen Brothers fer ya... You either love and get them or you just "meh" them. It's not about the technical issues, it's all about story and character. Go and watch Fargo. If you think the same, then you'll never like the Coen Brothers. Ever. That doesn't change the fact that they're magnificient. And that No Country For Old Men is the best thing committed to celluloid since the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Superbad Awesome. Loved every second, and it was very funny. Ending was sweet, but could have been better, and I didn't like Seth as much towards the end of the film as much as I liked the other characters, but it still ruled. I used to work with a kid who looked very much like McLovin. White shirt and everything! 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforcemario Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 RAN A truly exceptional film by the director Akira Kurosawa (also directed and wrote Seven Samurai). The film is a loose adaptation of King Lear, but based in Japan during the 16th century. The script is truly remarkable, the acting is some of the finest ever shown on the silver screen, the cinematography is just inspiring. In the film, there are 2 scenes when 2 castles are burnt down. Instead of taking the cheaper path by using scale miniatures, Akira Kurosawa insisted in not only burning down full scale castles, but also having them built and burnt on locations like Mount Fuji, Japan's biggest mountain. On the whole, I couldn't recommend this film more. It's one of the finest motion pictures ever concieved, and hopefully will never be forgetten. 10/10.

Also: Sweeney Todd Go, Johnny Depp, go! Well... first the bad. The blood FX were horrible. Anthony was annoying. Some of the music sucked, but that's not the production's fault, since they merely revamped (and dare I say, fantastically revamped) the musical's own theme songs. Other than that... fantastic acting, superb atmosphere and overall greatness in pretty much everything. But hey, that's Tim Burton, right? Not his best, not even by a longshot, but I can't help but love it. 8/10 EDIT: Waiting... Seldom do we see the likes of this. A smart dumb comedy. Not much to it, but it most definitely works. I like this movie, maybe because it's so veiny. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beep/Corridor/Light scene is possibly the most tense Ive ever been in a cinema. Apart from maybe the time I was in Two Towers and desperately needed a shit. Christmas DVD watch today! Zodiac Pretty good. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Zodiac was cool but felt strange to watch. Couldn't work it out at first but then i thought about it and realised that, while structured, filmed and paced like a thriller, it's actually more like a biopic, and thus leaves you expecting a twist that never arrives. still, good film with some truly great moments, and a rarity for portraying violence as disturbing rather than heroic.

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I quite like O Brother, Where Art Thou though and thats a Coen Brothers film, isn't it? So I was hoping I would enjoy this one more! O Brother, Where Art Thou is fantastic... but it's a comedy. It's not a proper Coen flick. Watch Fargo, Miller's Crossing or Blood Simple. Those are "the" Coen Brothers films. Then there's O Brother, Where Art Thou, The Man Who Wasn't There, Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona & The Hudsucker Proxy... those are all good or great (the ones underlined are masterpieces) movies, but they're not Coen flicks, they're overall good, they're not signature Coen cinema. Then there's also Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers, but in my mind, those two were just a bad LSD trip that should never have happened, as they're awful. And now they're back with No Country For Old Men... wich is, no argument whatsoever, their best movie. I understand that you don't get them. Most people don't. Seriously. Watch Fargo... I'm convinced you'll think the same about it as you did about NCFOM. That's just how they are. If one day you do get them... remember these 3 names: No Country For Old Men Fargo Miller's Crossing These are 3 of the best movies ever made by mankind. Sublime. Or, if you're not a Coen fan, these are the 3 worst Coen movies. Until we meet again. o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Rocky IV The only Rocky film I hadn't seen all the way through, was finally seen all the way through. It was alright. It's weaker than the other Rocky films, but it still had the magic that its prequels and sequels have. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
