Roostophe Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem Anime film with the soundtrack being all the songs off Daft Punk's album "Discovery". I remember hearing about this years ago, when they were first airing the music vids on MTV. They mentioned the videos being part of a "Japanese animated movie". This was much better than I had expected. I've always liked Daft Punk so the music was all decent, plus it fitted in well with the film. Overall, it was great. 9/10
Dog-amoto Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 The Terminator Got to be in my list of the greatest films ever. Simply flawless. And having Arnie adds to the awesome factor 10/10 Terminator 2: Judgement Day Excellent movie, though I really don't see why this is seen as better than the original. Due to the fact that the protector isn't human, and is very difficult to kill, you don't get the same intensity that you had with the original. And although the T-1000 is menacing, it's nowhere near as scary as Arnie from the first film. Also, they humanised Arnie way too much. I know they switched his learning chip on, but come on - it was a little too much Still gets a 9.3/10 Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines This film suffers from the same problems as the second one. The T-X isn't very good, and you never feel that same danger as the first one. Having said that, there are some terrific action scenes here. Has a very strong ending - the bit where Connor talks to the survivors on the radio at the end is awesome 8.5/10
Slaggis Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Babylon A.D Erm, was alright I suppose. Not as bad as I thought it might be, but not exactly wonderful. God, Vin Diesel is manly. 6/10
welsh_gamer Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Planet of the Apes Have fond memories of watching one of the films in the series as a child, but I don't think it was this one, as I found the second half pretty boring. Still a great film though, and I have all the sequels to watch soon. 7.8/10 Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy Cool must-see films for boys. Enjoyed A Fistful of Dollars the most, (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was a tad long) but their all masterpieces!
Jimbob Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Rocky III The third in the movie 6some (is that a word). I think its the best in the series with great fights and a moving story to it as well. Soundtrack is awesome as well, Eye of the Tiger. 9.5/10
Ashley Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Memento I love this film. I called the ending though, or half of it anyway, but still, very clever, very good film. Everyone does. The ending is shown at the start :p Great film though.
Cube Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Waitress Decent story, a few funny moments and Nathan Fillion. Entertaining, but not brilliant. 7/10
Oxigen_Waste Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was a tad long Seriously, without any other possible way of putting it: fuck you. You've seriously got to kidding me. Lord Of The Flies Clueless Lord Of the Flies? Never seen any movie version... one of my favourite books. Which version was it? Clueless is a masterpiece, amigo... Seriously, a fantastic satire. I love it with a passion. Excellent movie, though I really don't see why this is seen as better than the original. Due to the fact that the protector isn't human, and is very difficult to kill, you don't get the same intensity that you had with the original. True. And although the T-1000 is menacing, it's nowhere near as scary as Arnie from the first film. Not true. Has a very strong ending - the bit where Connor talks to the survivors on the radio at the end is awesome I wouldn't say it's awesome, but it was definitely the best thing about the movie. Rocky II Felt like watching this last night after watchin the original on Sunday (and the final fight yesterday). Good movie, nice soundtrack as per usual. And the fight was as good as the first. 9.5/10 Rocky III The third in the movie 6some (is that a word). I think its the best in the series with great fights and a moving story to it as well. Soundtrack is awesome as well, Eye of the Tiger. 9.5/10 Do I really need words?
The Bard Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Yeah, the Lord of The Flies movies are pretty shit. There's an American one, aswell as a crappy old black and white one. I just don't think there's any way Golding's writing could make the transition to film, it's just way too dense.
DomJcg Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Yeah, the Lord of The Flies movies are pretty shit. There's an American one, aswell as a crappy old black and white one. I just don't think there's any way Golding's writing could make the transition to film, it's just way too dense. I wouldn't say dense, i believe the main reason is that the actors are children, and thus they just aren't good enough to convey the powerful emotions and tasks put to them in the book. Poor Piggy
Dan_Dare Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 rented Knocked Up pretty good effort. It's funny, but not as all out hilarious as The 40 Year Old Virgin. Maybe you just can't make jokes as funny about pregnancy as you can about virginity. Gonna track down Superbad next as I've only heard good things there.

Poor Piggy They're hella dense. Read The Spire, dude. Lord of The Flies is probably the most accessible of his books that I've read.

Maybe it was all the hype set it up to be something amazing, or whether it is because generally I am not a fan of comedies I dunno. I wanted to like it but...meh.

It was nowhere near as funny as I expected it to be, I laughed out loud a couple of times but other than that it was most definitely "Meh..".

Superbad is brill, I demand you go back to it and give it another chance, so many laugh out loud moments Becca: I'm so wet right now. Evan: Yeah... they said that would happen in health class. Becca: Your cock is so smooth! Evan: Your's would be too... if you were a man.
ReZourceman Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 LOLZ n00bz yew guize have carp soh if dudnt liek superbad!!!!1111
fex Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Another Meh for superbad, a few LoL moments but not enough. Shitty American Teen Comedies

Maybe you just can't make jokes as funny about pregnancy as you can about virginity. Gonna track down Superbad next as I've only heard good things there. I found Knocked up to be pretty meh as well, Superbad however I thought was pretty excellent. It was a situation I could relate too a lot more then knocked up. The holy grail of Appatow comedies is Forgetting Sarah Marshall though.
soag Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 OK then i guess its not for you Last movie I watched was Walk Hard. I really enjoyed it, was a good parody of all the other rock docs out there but was not over the top terrible like date, disaster, etc movie. The songs written for the movie were very good and you actually felt for dewey cox. Plus Jack White as elvis and jack black as sir paul mccartney was genius
martinist Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Rocky II The boxing scene was pretty funny to watch, he took about fifty hits to the head and didn't go down. pretty good film all round. 8/10 Rambo (2008) An hour and a half of Sylvester Stallone taking it to the Burma National Army. Heads and limbs are cut off, children are thrown into burning huts, women and young boys are raped, people are blown apart, heads are torn apart by high calliber sniper rifles and one guy gets his throat ripped out. Its the greatest movie i've ever seen. 9/10
Nami Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I found Knocked up to be pretty meh as well, Superbad however I thought was pretty excellent. It was a situation I could relate too a lot more then knocked up. The holy grail of Appatow comedies is Forgetting Sarah Marshall though. I rented knocked up recently too, I didn't think I'd really enjoy it but it surprised me, it's pretty meh but when I expected trash it was a step up!! - Superbad is awesome, I watched it again the other nite and laughed just as much as the first time, yeah I guess it's cos you can relate to some stuff in it! - I lov the whole lube thing
