killthenet Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 NCFOM isn't that good. The English Surgeon Was screened this week on the BBC as part of "Storyville", but screened late last year at the London Film Festival and I wish I'd gone to see it. A documentary that tells the story of Dr. Henry Marsh, a neurosurgeon who travels to Ukraine during his time off to perform surgery for free. It's an incredible story, everyone should definately find the time to track it down. For all the UK users its avaliable to watch on the BBC iPlayer for another 6 days. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Executive DecisionKurt Russell and co must stop terrorists who have highjacked a plane, from detonating a bomb in USA airspace, by sneaking onto their plane and taking them all out. Very enjoyable and David Suchet is awesome as the main villan. 7/10 Thats one of my all time favourites The Brave One The mrs had been wanting to see this one for a while so we hired it out and gave it a go. I've never been a huge Jodie Foster fan, but she was great in this. Basically her and her partner get mugged one night and left for dead, she survives but he doesn't. What follows is basically a revenge plot, where she takes out a few other no-gooders along the way. Not a bad movie, great ending too.. My only complaint was that I felt like this movie had been done before in Boondock Saints, but I guess The Brave One had enough variance from that to make it stand out on it's own. See it ! 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Planet Terror is just full of the humour that connects with me and Chair. Therefore it's 10/10. Blades Of Glory Funny in parts, not hilarious, but not horrible. A nice funny film. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Planet Terror is just full of the humour that connects with me and Chair. Therefore it's 10/10. Oooh nice, Ive bought it but have yet to watch it. I must try and watch it soon. Anyway, went to the ol' cinema on Saturday to see 27 Dresses Pretty very good really. Most suprising of all was Cyclops character was great, couldnt help but smirk a lot and he was nice and made a lot of sense and was funny. Some very great moments, and generally a pretty awesome rom/com/chick/flick. 8.4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Highlander The first, and best in my opinion. Pumped full of Queen music from the album "A Kind of Magic", suits the movie well. Great acting and some great chuckle moments and a few teary moments as well. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 How awesome does "Pathology" look? I saw a trailer months back, and it's now about to come out. But there's a big problem...it's an 18! *screams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Oooh nice, Ive bought it but have yet to watch it. I must try and watch it soon. Watch out for the indian twins when they randomly start smashing a car up. I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just watched Gone With The Wind In retrospect, knowing it was about 4 hours long was information I should have pieced together long before I started watching it at about half nine. still: probably the most epic thing I've ever seen. Just an incredible production, really. Especially for it's time. Also, Leigh is quite possibly one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The Illusionist Quite a good movie but I probably would have liked it more if I wasnt constantly comparing it to The Prestige in my head (which I prefer). Saw the twist coming and I didnt like that not everything about the tricks was explained. I know thats the way magic is but still. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The Bourne Ultimatum Truly awesome, brilliant start, brilliant bit in London, brilliant bit in Madrid, brilliant bit in Tangier, brilliant bit in NYC, and it ends as it starts, which is cool.

dan-likes-trees Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The Matrix Damn this film is good!! Haven't seen it for years, but its good and slick as ever, all the special effects still look nice and the story is really intriguing. Maybe i'll watch the lame sequels again soon. 10/10 And while im at it, The Animatrix Nice collection of short films, most of which are superb. Slightly let down by a couple of the films but meh, still gets 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The Truman Show Only watched this because my mate said it reminded him of his life apparently, i see no similarities really. Anyway, i think and still think that this is a great movie with some humour but it shows a more serious side of Jim Carrey. 10/10 for the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Gattaca I'll keep this short: it's one of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen, even holding up to repeat viewings. If you haven't watched it then you owe it to yourself to track it down. 10,000 beats overdue / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monopolyman Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Good film, Gattaca. It's sort of a true sci-fi film, as in it is a 'what if?' scenario, which I think is quite rare these days, and executes it perfectly. The ending was quite emotional as well. Anyway, I watched Die Hard again today. Excellent stuff. I don't think I really need to add any more. Yippie-Ki Ay motherfucker! 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 what's Gattaca about? it sounds up ones alley, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 what's Gattaca about? it sounds up ones alley, so to speak. In the not so distant future mankind has been separated into two different classes of society, genetically modified humans and the non-modified underclass minority. Also "space suits" are the sort of thing you get out of Marks and Spencer. Unwilling to accept his lot in life, Ethan Hawke sets out to beat the system with the help of reclusive and disabled swimming champion Jude Law. It's generally just a great film, with subtle twists and complex relationships between the characters. My advice: Watch it at least twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who directed it also directed Lord of War, which is also a great film. I suppose it's quite similar is a very vague way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Drillbit Taylor I was expecting this film to be a good 7 or 8 out of 10. Its co-written by Seth Rogen which I didnt even know until the opening titles and was like...oh awesome. The opening scene is two of the friends talking on the phone, they are quite young and its just hilarious the way talk and stuff. Great characters. Then the lozzles roll in and various things happen and I was just loving the film alot. Theres a lot of funny moments and the kids in it are ones to keep an eye on in these types of films I think. 9/10 suprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
