gaggle64 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Serenity Dull as dishwater sci-fi which plays like a big, nerdy checklist of stuff that should happen in sci-fi movies. Mysterious pasts, kung-fu, psychic powers, scary girls, all American heros, British-accented villains, zombies, big guns, fast ships, important moral agendas and the most woefully understaffed Evil Armada I've ever seen, all laced togther with the worst dialogue in the galaxy. A cross between Star Wars and The Matrix? More like the O.C. and Andromeda. With a smaller budget. 4/10 "Somebody shut her up... she's damaging my calm."

It's much better (I thought the same when I watched it without subtitles). Also, watch Firefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Serenity Dull as dishwater sci-fi which plays like a big, nerdy checklist of stuff that should happen in sci-fi movies.

A cross between Star Wars and The Matrix? More like the O.C. and Andromeda. With a smaller budget. 4/10 "Somebody shut her up... she's damaging my calm." All American Heroes? Inara, Simon and River are all of Asian origin. Besides what do you expect, its an American film. (Plus the mysterious past et al are build upon in the show anyway). And theres some gems of lines in there, "been near on a year since anything twixt' my nethers that weren't run on batteries". Better than "Noooooooooooooo!" :p Anyway. Felt like completly zoning out and so I rented Just My Luck and High School Musical. Two trashy teen films, and I prefer JML. The dialogue in HSM was so contrived. So much so I even overlooked the fact Lindsey Lohan was called Ashley in Just My Luck and still prefer it. As far as numerical scores; JML-6, HSM-5.

mariosmentor Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Old School. 9 Will Ferrel on form. And the scene that replicated the gradute was absolutely hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Mr. Teatime in the Hogfather (the TV adaptation) reminded of Johnny Depp's performance of Willy Wonka... Which is not good, as Mr. Teatime is an evil assassin. Yeah he based his character on Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Gremlins 2 A brilliantly funny and genius movie. I like all the parodies of different movies, the talking Gremlin (New York, New Yorrrk! Ba ba ba ba ba! Ba ba ba ba ba!), Christopher Lee, and Gizmo. My favourite part was possibly Frank Sinatra Gremlin singing, or when Gizmo gets on his Rambo gear and shoots an arrow into the Gremlinspider. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocka Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Gremlins Unmatchable entertainment, couldn't keep my eyes off it. Not many films, if any, are as lovable and creepy at the same time, and it is overall very unique. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut - 9/10 Was interesting to see what Superman II was supposed to be before Donner was kicked out of it, taking out scenes and replacing them with the originals actually made a lot of the movie make more sense plus I didnt have to see that stupid cellophane S or memory wiping kiss anymore.

Stocka Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The Shawshank Redemption Totally surpassed my expectations, which were high from what i'd heard about it, and not only that but I didn't expect it to be the type of film i'd enjoy. One of the greatest movies of all time. What it aims to do it does perfectly and aswell as being fantastic entertainment it is an emotional and powerful inspiration that everyone should experience. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 City of God It was just on Channel 4, though I seen it before off the DVD. This is a film set in Brazil, I think. It's a film about The Ghetto, Violence, Crime, Guns and Drugs. When I say ghetto here, I'm talking about a proper ghetto, some slummy village in brazil. It about how kids, proper kids like younger than 10, end up in lives of crime simply because thats all there is, not helped by all the corruption of the cops. It's told from the perspective of one guy trying to get out of the slums, and it's simply such a good film that's so different to anything I've really seen that I can't really describe it well, as you may have so far noticed. It's entirely in Portugese, with English subs, but don't let that put you off watching it. It really is a brilliant film. Although be warned, there's alot of violence and swearing in it, but it's quite an inspiring films, of sorts. Seriously, see this film if you get the chance. It's a rarity for me, but this one's getting a big fat 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforce_keeper Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Happy Feet Loads of songs and dancing. Nice cheery film. 7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Cars Was ok. Fantastic animation, and a good moral to the story. Owen Wilson's voice is a bit annoying for me. Not enough jokes tho. LOLed at the Tractor Tipping scene ;-) Watch the credits, because there are some neat scenes there, especially the drive in movie moment! 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The Last Kiss. Good movie. ^^ Old topic, but this movie makes it worth revisiting, (obviously made great by Braff's performance... and even better if you're a Rachel Bilson fan). 7,5/10.
