Chris the great Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Waterworld Great post-disaster movie starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper. Everytime i watch it, i still find parts i didn't know about. 9.5/10 i agree. every time i see it, i laugh harder, what were they thinking? its just bad on so many levels.

EEVILMURRAY Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lies. Waterworld is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made. It's only problem is that the lass in it wasn't "fit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I quite like Waterworld too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Happy-Go-Lucky a.k.a. The Life and Times of Bluey Circa 2019. Was nice to see someone with a positive outlook on life in spite of the world around her being so miserable. Although the driving instructor was a right tit he did remind me of my friend's dad...and a racist version of how I'll probably end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Be Kind Rewind A mess of a film. Total garbage. Monster House A good idea, but they didn't pull it off well. Lame second half, and I found the animation to be rather ugly. Transporter 1 + 2 After enjoying Shoot Em Up very much, I gave these two a go. Some pretty decent car chase's, but otherwise nothing worth mentioning. Jason Statham has got to be one of the worst "actors" ever. A Perfect World Great film. Kevin Costner escape's from prison and abducts a young boy as a hostage, and both form an unlikely friendship on their travels. Emotional ending.

Roostophe Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Quantum of Solace Not too shabby, IMO. Not as good as Casino Royale, but still good. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Sympathy for Lady Vengeance Park Chan Wook's directing is naturally brilliant, and it's hard not to love his films. It's about fifteen minutes too long, and it's not as good as Old Boy, but it's still a great revenge thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I still need to watch the two vengeance movies. I've only seen Oldboy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lady V was on the other night. I have it on DVD, and it's the only one I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Lady V was my favourite. Keep meaning to pick it up one day (benefits of having film studies lecturers, taksies :p) Half Nelson Nice at the start, toward the end it became a bit sickly. Almost Disney like (if you ignore the drugs). Stil, not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Seven Pounds Way over-rated. It wasn't a particularly original storyline and it was very predictable. Not that sad either. 6/10 (and that's probably generous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that sad either. 6/10 (and that's probably generous) I heard a review that said pretty much that. The reviewer kept going on about a squid too. I need to check out some sort of synopsis because it made me curious, and I don't want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire A simply superb and brilliantly well shot and acted film. It has a happy ending, though in between the film's numerous depictions of torture, corruption, murder, sectarian violence, extreme poverty, domestic abuse and the bodily mutilation of children for profit, "feel good film of the year" doesn't quite ring true somehow.

Ashley Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Nines Interesting. Not quite what I was expecting but it got better as it went along and unravelled some of its threads. Interesting little mythology behind it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 The Wrestler A genuine treat. Far better than I expected. A solid 9/10 Milk Lovely film. Felt like it didn't shy away from the subject matter. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellmeister Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Underworld: Rise of the Lycans I liked it! Good old fashioned violence, blood, teeth, swords, arrow, vampires! Fit. 7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Underworld: Rise of the Lycans I liked it! Good old fashioned violence, blood, teeth, swords, arrow, vampires! Fit. 7.5/10 is this new? I've (somehow. Forgive me) seen the first two. They're spectacularly average but do feature Kate Beckinsale in very tight leather so most of the films faults can be overlooked.

Retro_Link Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Rambo [4] Pretty good, in that it was awesome fun to watch! But I felt they could have maybe gone into his character a bit more, all we got story wise was: decided to help, kicked ass, realised he'd had enough of all this, and that it was time to go home! Also though it could have played a bit more homage to Rambo I, and he could have done a few more stealthy scenes, and set a few more traps etc... The christian helpers were all a bit naff, but made for decent enough story motivation. Though the sniper played by Matthew Marsden was cool!

ReZourceman Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Apparently she's not in this one. I might be lying though. I checked IMDB previously (to see if I had to see it or not) and it didn't list her. Thus I havn't made efforts/don't want to see it. I thought the other ones were okay though.
