Beast Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm sure Mo'Nique will at least pick up a nomination for an Academy Award. She should do! Either Mo'Nique or the actress who played Precious. Top notch acting from the both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Oh God. One of the most unimaginative characters ever... I can probably find a hundred similar designs by furries. i guess they had to be humanoid for us to relate to them, but why did he just look at night crawler from x men and go "that'l do"?

Chris the great Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nah. My money is on Where's my goddamn cigarette? A stunning turn from her in that masterpiece. i forgot that line. that was roughly the moment i realised james cameron had spent 20 years making the film, yet set none of the time asside to make decent dialouge or well thought out characters.

Jimbob Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 2 movies i've watched The Cable Guy One of Jim Carreys earlier movies, also starring Matthew Broderic. Carrey stars as a Cable Guy obsessed with stalking his cable customers in an attempt to get them to be his "friend". Humerous throughout, not one of his best in my eyes. Still worth watching though as it shows sides of Carrey that are to come in some of his later movies. 7.5/10 The Living Daylights Stars Timothy Dalton in the first of his 2 appearances as James Bond. This so happens to be the last Bond movie to be based on the Ian Fleming novels until 2006's Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig. It starts off with Bond saving a Russian General from captivity as such only for it to turn out to be a double-cross between the General and the Soviets. Goes all over the place including Britain, Austria, Germany and Afganistan. A good movie in my eyes, not as good as Daltons second and final appearance in the movie "Licence to Kill" 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Cable guy 7.5? Really? Fair enough, but I thought it was intolerably obnoxious. Even more than Freddy Got Fingered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, it is one of Jim's earlier movies before he became main-stream after his break in Ace Ventura (which in my eyes is one of his best). I suppose Cable Guy is only for people who are hard-core fans of Carrey's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Annie Hall Felt good. Great acting, it felt real and worth investing in the relationship. I love how they all had the ability to see and interact on the astral plane. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The Cable Guy came out well after Carrey was mainstream. After dumb and dumber, the mask, batman forever, both Ace Ventura movies.

Solo Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 X-Men Origins: Wolverine What the fuck was this? I mean serious WTFige going on here. It looked low-budg; really cheap effects, hammy acting to the max and really seriously crappy characters. Basically Hugh Jackman has a hot girlfriend, then she dies and he gets upset, only she's not dead and didn't really love him, then she says she does love him but then really dies properly. He gets upset some more while Danny Huston keeps saying stuff about becoming the animal he really is which is ridiculous cos he's a human and can't change into animals. He spends about a billion dollars on making Wolverine indestructible, only for him to then say 'go cut his (presumably indestructible) head off' when it goes a bit tits up, talk about changing his mind! The most annoying character was Ryan Reynolds, he was some samurai guy who I thought was pretty cool (reminded me of Blade Trinity of which he was the best thing in it) then he just disappeared, no where to be seen for the entire fucking film, only to return right at the end looking like Baraka from Mortal Kombat II and somehow having like EVERONE'S POWERS. On top of that he had no mouth, making the one thing that made Ryan Reynolds fun to watch (his humour) completely void. I don't see how Hugh Jackman kept a straight face throughout this wank pile, and he even helped produce it! What a shame cos X-Men 1 & 2 are great, and 3 is a bit shit but no where near this poo stain level. One of the worst superhero films I've ever seen. It really, really sucked. 3/10 (because Victor dude was kinda cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the great Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 the quick and the dead ok, now i knew this was a rather daft western before i sat and watched it, but nothing could have prepaired me for what i saw. some woman comes into town and ends up joing a tornament, saving a preist and having sex with decaprio when he was younger. so bassicly, its kinda like on of those sports movies, were theres some team of underdogs who some how end up in the big leagues. only in this film the "sport" is shooting each outher really fast, and the "big leauges" is a tornament of it. now the tornament rules dont make any sense, you can challenge who you like, and you have to accept a challenege, yet the tornament still has heats. it works out that everyone has a fight, no one gets double booked, it just works out ok. now that just dosent make sense to me, but then, i live in a world of logic. it all starts pretty well, lots of fights, but no one really dies, untill gene hackman takes part, hes the baddie so he kills peope. half way through the tornament hes like all "now we just fight to the death". his motivation behind this is strange, i mean, his own son is fighting and he dosent want to kill him (but totaly does any way). woman thinks "fuck this" and goes away, but then thinks "nah, gene hackman killed my dad, id best kill him and save the towns people." to save the towns people she fakes her own death to russle crow whos a priest, and she also has sex with him, then she decides to blow up half the town, you know, to save it and shit. lucky for russle she blows it up, as he was just about to get killed, but the explosions knock hackman over like 3 times in a row. so then russle crow kills all the baddies, deciding that killing really is ok despite him just being totaly against it. woman kills hackman and leaves the smoldering wreckage of the town to cheers and adoraion of the people. theres some arty shots in places, which are laughable, and the characters dont make much sense, and its one of the dumbest films ever made. 4/10 it was stupid, but it had tits in it.

welsh_gamer Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Ugh.... I enjoyed the first but this was awful. Packed with juvenile humour, pointless unwatchable action, annoying characters and a final battle which seemed to last a lifetime. The only good thing in it was bloody Jetfire. 2/10 Please don't do another Transformers/Sci Fi film Mr Bay, go back and give us a popcorn flick with proper action and shit.

Slaggis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) The Book Of Eli One of the strangest films I've ever seen. The message to it made me want to vomit all over the seat infront of me. "When there is nothing left in the world, the only thing able to save us will be Jesus". Really? Excuse me whilst I kill myself. The side story about the evil guy mis-treating the blind woman was pointless and an obvious attempt at trying to make him seem more badass. There were a couple of good bits, such as the elderly couple with all the guns and when the blind woman was playing Chess. So mean. I'm still annoyed at the fact I payed £7 to be fed an annoyingly religious load of bull. 3 Edited February 4, 2010 by Slaggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still annoyed at the fact I payed £7 to be fed an annoyingly religious load of bull. 3 Was it just the religious aspect that annoyed you? I'm an non-believe and Hell goer, but the fact that it had a very strong religious theme didn't mean it was a bad film. I can't remember if I rated it on here, but I'd give it: Promising in parts/10 I thought some of the scenes were excellent, very cinematic and the settings as a whole were incredible. I thought that the fight scenes were some of the best I've ever seen - they were amazing, but not your regular over-the-top-look-at-me. Having since found out that the legend that is Denzel did the fight scene in the bar in one take I am further impressed - although only with him. But it had that feel... the fight scenes, of something that was real. But good. I thought that the abuse of the blind woman was fine, it didn't seem far-stretched for a man to do those things. If anything it wasn't as far stretched as most shit is in most post-apocalyptic tales, especially films such as Mad Max and the like. I thought the fact that she was blind and the theme that was revealed at the end was quite fitting. The fight-out at the old couples place was amazing - the camera work especially - and to be honest, touched that place that most of the time games do. You could tell throughout that the writer of this film was a massive gamer (and he was actually a games developer). But then there were things that were slightly lacking... A lot of build up to the central theme that didn't pay off for me. I also thought there was lack of any real character development... It was like... "Here is a character that is already on his path... watch him". Which... is ok, but I like to see characters dealing with obstacles put in their path - and this one didn't seem to do that. Granted, he was faced with obstacles, but... the way in which they were dealt with didn't seem to have any real impact or weight for the central character.

Coolness Bears Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Jennifer's Body The dialogue made my ears hurt at times so beyond Juno's pretentiousness it fell into stupidity BUT when Amanda Seyfried was being badass (and not weedy) then it picked up! like at the beginning and so on and so fourth. Her boyfriend was lame I was like please die please die for the whole movie. Megan Fox having black blood pouring out her face was funny and watching her dementedness was cool. Having it wrapped in a high school was dull and the overarching plot was lulzful. This could have been better. MID AIR TWIRLING IN SLOW MOTION is always necessary though. Also, lesbians. 6/10 _____ I want to see Percy and the lightening Boys. IT LOOKS SO HILARIOUS. The trailer alone had me rolling in my cinema seat! Even think about it sends me into a fit of giggles.

Was it made before, is that what you are saying Jimbob? My mistake, it was made after Ace Ventura. It just looks and feels like a movie that was made before he became main-stream. I suppose some people may see it as before main-stream though. Anyway Honey I Blew Up the Baby Starring Rick Morranis in the sequel. Quite a good movie in my eyes, not as good as the original though. Basically instead of Shrinking, Wayne's kid is grown. 7.5/10 Little Nicky Stars Adam Sandler as the 3rd Devil Child. The Devil decides to remain on the throne, so 2 of his kids decide to break out and seal Hell up. It is up to Nicky to get the 2 Devil Siblings back to Hell to save their Dad's life. A good film to watch now and again, unless you are a Sandler fan. 8.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Fantastic Mr. Fox I remember this as one of those films you see advertised but doesn't enter your conciousness. I assumed it'd be a charming children's film. I was amazed. Not even aimed at children. Really funny, and just really smart, and I love the fact they "swear". Reminds me of the use of Frak in BSG. I just loved. Appealed to my humour so much. Just when she's like "I'm pregnant". And the mouse/dog/possum's face it cuts to for no reason at random points. And the joke where Mr. Fox does a matrix flip to reach the celing of the burrow. Just jokes abounding. Really suprised. Why did no one tell me? 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
