Ashley Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 My Neighbour Totoro Something I've seen numerous times before, as I'm sure others have, but the animation during the bus stop scene really struck me; The way the nose responds to the rain and his wide range of expressions with a limited face. Brilliant stuff. And also the scene at the end of that clip with the letter. In the original she likens Mei waiting for the trees to sprout to a crap and draws a picture, but then in the dubbed it just says "Mei is waiting for the trees to sprout. He's Mei as a crab." Weird choice in making that seem random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What a ridiculous film. Visually it is sexual, I was aroused throughout the movie. The story was predictable from the beginning and the whole thing took itself way too seriously. It tried to make itself emotional but I wasn't really bothered if any of the characters died or not. I loved the creatures in this movie. I liked the winged beast things as well, to bad there wasn't more creatures like them. The Navi where much better than I thought even though they have a kind of boring/basic design about them I like how their hair can connect up with the animals, that was a good touch. Didn't care for them being like an african tribe etc. Not al natives with spears need to be expressed in that manner! For a large scale movie I left feeling pretty empty. The story didn't go anywhere and was chock full of bad dialogue. "I AM THE BADDEST CAT IN THE SKY!" being the most humourous. I laughed out loud on several occasions as Avatar had so many unintentionally hilarious scenes. All in all the last hour is fun and the whole things up a bit but it is quite a cheeky film. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Sherlock Holmes Robert Downey Jr was on great form, but Jude Law didn't impress me as Watson, thus proves yet again he's just a pretty face for the ladies. The odd funny moment and 2 good-ish set-pieces, but I was bored throughout mostly, as were the rest of the audience who seemed more intrested in their phones than the big screen.

triforce_keeper Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Kill Bill Volumes 1+2 First time watching these in Blu-Ray, and oh my good lord. The movies look STUNNING, seriously, probably the most gorgeous films I have seen on Blu-Ray (if you don't agree tell me what to watch dammit!). Anyway, back to the movies itself. I forgot how bloody good these are, I could watch over and over and over, I love how incredibly hilarious some scenes are, for example when the little girl gets off the bus and is walking to the front door, AMAZING. Has to be one (two?) of my favourite films ever 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Last night I watched... Rec Good/10 At points it was a little bit obvious what was going to happen... oh look... he's standing near a glass door... oh look, it's dark and suddenly a light is going to be turned on, I wonder what will be standing in front of him... The Great Debaters Awesome/10 I love these sort of films. They're a bit obvious, etc... and I've just complained about that. But for these types of films I'm okay with that. 12 Angry Men Double plus good/10 Brilliant film. I'd like to think I would be the good man.

Beast Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Billy Elliot Nothing was on the telly so I decided to watch this on BBC Three and I'm glad I did. It's fantastic, absolutely loved it.

Paj! Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Kramer Vs. Kramer I expected way better. Having Meryl Streep like screaming on the front and various "OSCAR FOR X" on the front etc. The two mains (Dustin Hoffman and Meryl) were both good, and it was..fine. But left me with so little and really uninterestingly filmed/directed. One of those emotion manipulating ones. Eh. Not bad or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Haunting in Connecticut Shite. It's even hard to say the title. 4/10 The Hangover Good. Numerous funny moments, generally enjoyable. Fat guy was actually amusing. The Chinese dude wasn't though, because he tried to abuse his ethnicity too much in order to appear humorous. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goafer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ghostbusters on Bluray I remember ReZ ranting about how ace it was. It's still Ghostbusters, so by default it's ace, but Bluray was really wasted. All I saw was horrible pixellation, especially on the darker scenes. It's not like it was the TV either like in some cases, it was like someone had put a TV Static filter over the top of it. Film: 9/10 Bluray: 2/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Watched Avatar. It was alright. But the 3D didn't work particularly well - kept looking blurry / generally dodgy and really not visually pleasing. Which is a shame what with that being the whole point of the film. Also the cinema's copy kept cutting out which was irritating. And the plot was generic as. And the characters were ridiculous caricatures. Owell at least it was quite good fun. 6 / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The Final Destination in 3D It's much better when it's 3D than it is in 2D. I watched it in 2D and I thought it weren't bad but in 3D it's much better. Funnily enough, after watching it in 3D, I only started thinking it was the weakest in the series but the 3D paid off well and wasn't overused. 3D effects: 8/10 Movie itself: 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My God. You gave that a 6? Hell I LOVE the series and thought it was abysmal. I'd rather sit through an eternity of Tom Welling internal monologue than see that shit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
