Oxigen_Waste Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just thought I'd say; O_W giving anything 9.9/10 = wow. Awesome I watched Carnivà le after your suggestion. Pretty nice, it's a shame it got canceled, really, great characters and overall narrative and pacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Dark Knight Nowhere near as taut, visceral, claustrophobic or as terrifying as Batman Begins, they ironed out a few kinks, but gave the film a lot more creases because of it. First of the film is too long, and they have way too much packed into it. A lot of it works, some of it doesn't. It's been seemingly wrongly hailed by critics as having a complicated structure, but in my eyes the film is convulted and complicated simply because they've put too much into it. When it works though, it is sublime. The opening of the film, which with sequels is always a difficult task, was handled perfectly. Heath Ledger surpases all the hype as a fantastically sadistic Joker, though it was disappointing that the atmosphere was broken by morons laughing, all the fault of the theatre patrons though and nothing to do with the movie. Overall it was slightly disappointing, it was unconventional in places I hadn't expected it to be but it was far too formulaic in others. The whole Sonar thing was completely unnessecary, it looked ugly and served no real purpose, they could have utilised other methods in order to serve the plot better. It may open up to me more on a second viewing, which I will definately undertake this weekend, but on first impressions it does not quite match up to Batman Begins. Now don't jot this down to me being over hyped, I really wasn't. I avoided all TV spots, haven't seen the trailer in months and read none of the reviews. Will just have to see if it picks up with a second viewing. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been seemingly wrongly hailed by critics as having a complicated structure, but in my eyes the film is convulted and complicated simply because they've put too much into it. I think it's the right size, and personally believe that all of it works. I don't think it's complicated... critics must be dumb. I thought it was pretty simple, and grand, too. The whole Sonar thing was completely unnessecary, it looked ugly and served no real purpose, they could have utilised other methods in order to serve the plot better Agreed on the part that they could have used something else... but it was satisfactory, if not exactly the best choice. I thought you'd rate it an 8. I think it's near perfect, considering what it is, it's a masterpiece of it's genre, afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Young People Fucking Bluddy funny. I laughed outloud a fair few times, and I loved the whole way the movie was set out. Basically the film follows five sepearate young couples as they each have a sexual encounter with 5 stages occuring throughout the film, these being prelude, foreplay, sex, interlude, orgasm and afterglow - with 5 seperate stories occuring throughout. Seriously, watch it if you can. The title makes it sound cheap and teen movie likes. But it's not, it's pretty damn funny. The moment with the couple, and the guy realising he's enjoying his wife using the strap on floored me. 8.1/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that not long ago, I thought it was funny too. All the boys love Mandy Lane It was really good, same old usual horror storyline but with some pretty good twists in it. 7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosmentor Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Blue Ray No Country for Old Men My 5th time watching it. Excellent movie, everytime I watch it I notice little quirks and actions I had missed before. The movie stunned me in the cinema and still stuns me everytime I put it on. 10/10 Also Intolerable Cruelty Which is another Coen Brothers film. It's more of a romantic film with excellent dialogue. It kinda bores in the middle, but the start and end are filled with high points. 6/10 And closer was rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roostophe Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ghost in the Shell Well, it was about bloody time I got to watch this. I enjoyed it a fair bit. Although watching it with two non-anime fans meant that I found some bits more awkward than usual, and I probably had more of an idea about what was going on than they did. A LOT more, if I'm honest. Nevertheless; it was good, and easy to see why it's so popular. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Three films again today! (granted the first started yesterday and finished at 1am...) Although im not in the mood to go on about them so just short reviews. Ratatouille Remy was fun, the romance was a bit forced but alright but I found it amusing how Remy controlled Linguine. 8.7 Cars Enjoyable but not brilliant. Some funny lines in there. During the credits when they're watching Pixar films with vehicles was probably the best part. 7.5 The Iron Giant A delight. Although the ending seems to suggest they wanted to make a sequel but seeing as it wasn't that successful guess not eh? Still, nice take on 1950s paranoia and the bomb race (or whatever it was called). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The Dark Knight Not as good as Begins. But amazing. 9.4/10 Lies. Sorry, but it's a lie, and I hate lies. This is in a league so far above Begins it's ridiculous. Begins is amazing too though. The Dark Knight 10/10 Probably my favourite ever film. I have to scale the other Batman films down a notch. I think I gave Batman Returns a 10...it now gets a 9, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The Dark Knight 10/10 I just loved how the Joker was actually a criminal genious. I clapped multiple times throughout, just because of his schemes. "Kill this man or a hospital blows up" is just so geniously evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 National Treasure: Book of Secrets Was entertaining, but the plot itself is very uninteresting. Plus it felt way too American at times. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The Brave One It's an okay movie really, hadn't heard about it before, so didn't know what to expect. It was entertaining, but not in the funny kind of way (as the story is about revenge and all that). Not an outstanding movie, but worth a watch if you've got nothing else to do. =) If I had to give it a score, I'd say a... 7.5/10. I don't know, I usually don't give scores because a number seems silly. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved every moment of it and the Joker was amazing. one of my favourite films ever! ^____^ The Incredibles It was Incredible! :p (as if you didn't see that coming!)
