gaggle64 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Tommy A young boy becomes blind, deaf and dumb after accidentally seeing his fathers murder. This leads him to suffer a life of abuse at the hands of some of his family, before finally becoming a multi-millionare pinball star. Shortly after, he regains his senses, and becomes the messiah of his own international, pinball-related religious cult, only to have his followers turn against him. It's a rock opera. WTF? out of The Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosmentor Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Deep Impact One of the better disaster movies involving comets/asteroids/meteors/WTF. I felt it was quite moving and realistic. Well, in comparison to Armageddon, however Armageddon kills it's best point, cool soundtrack, by casting Ben asshole Affleck. In all, Deep Impact 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 *Dont destroy me* I think the X-men series has got better with every movie..or is that just me? The Grudge Watched it last night with some mates before sleeping in their garden. Not a good idea. Thta boy is incredibly creepy. But, no-one can act in that movie, all they do is stare and look vaguely constipated. Very creepy/freaky movie though, The image and sound(eurgh, freaks me out thinking about it now) will stay with me for a while. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Mean Girls I love. One of my favourite movies of all time, it achieves a perfect balance between humour and drama. It has some amazing one liners, and the plot is quite clever. I think it builds upon previous films in the same genre. Rachel McAdams was a great choice for Regina Geogre, despite being about 10 years older than the character she plays, and you get from Lindsay Lohan what you expect from her. Its rumoured theres going to be a sequel aswell, could be funny seeing it. Best bit in the movie "We have a new student today, shes come from Africa" *addresses a random Black girl* "Welcome to the school" "I'm from Michagen" (Lol its much better on screen.) 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Mean GirlsI think it builds upon previous films in the same genre. Heavily. But decent film for when you want mindless entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 POTC - AWE Quite good, cheesy wedding scene but overall a very good film with what i thought an ending that i'd never thought would happen. 9/10 Licence to Kill Timothy Daltons best 007 movie. Licence to Kill shows a new side to James Bond, a vengefull side. It is also the first James Bond movie not to be based on a book completly. Awesome action sequences and a great story plot gives this film 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 *Dont destroy me* I think the X-men series has got better with every movie..or is that just me? I pretty much agree, X-Men was a watchable movie, X-Men 2 was great and 3 was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Fuck, this was a total trip. Amusing, bemusing, disturbing and meaningful. The narration was really well done, I thought...kinda has some parallels with The Great Gatsby...with all the speculation on the futility of the American Dream... Anyway, best film I've seen for some time. 10/10. Don't fuck with me now, man, I am Ahab! Also, The Usual Suspects I just had to see it again (for the 10th time ). Well, how can I put it so that it sounds accurate? This is one of those movies that make a sudden appearence once in a while and just blow out a genre, just like that. Storyline? Perfect. Casting? Perfect (Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey are Gods). Even the damn soundtrack is absolutelly stunning. Simply put, one of the best movies to grace god's green earth, an absolute fucking masterpiece, one of the best crime movies ever made and quite simply the best Mystery film ever commited to celluloid. Praise can never be too high when it comes to this baby. It's just one of those things... it will never fade out, burn out or go out of fashion. This is perfection, in any way you look at it. 10/10. I can say no more. If you haven't seen this, you owe it to yourself to do so, as soon as you can. (and killthenet, I just know you're gonna say "hell no"). EDIT: XMen2>XMen3>XMen The only reason 2>3 is because of 3's messed up storyline. It resorts to the extreme in hope that it will make up for it's flaws. I wished Bryan hadn't given up on it. Is it just coincidence that Bryan Singer directed the first two? (for anyone who didn't get, he's the director of The Usual Suspects). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I didnt find anything messed up with the storyline, everything happened in the comic, the mutant "cure", Jean dying, Logan killing her, Charles changing his conscience to another person... Not saying it's perfect though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's perfect though Well, when I watched it I just felt that no heart and soul went into making this movie, unlike the second one. But that's me being gay... as for the plot, I wasn't reffering to the overall plot (you know I'm not that prolific with comic book knowledge), it was more like the screenplay details. Like, remember how the first two had great character development and wonderful emotion? You really saw these mutans as people (which is the whole argument of the mutant struggle)! Well, in the third one there was a very feeble character development and there was just this feeling that it was all rushed out. If I had to summarize it, X-3 was the textbook definition of a Hollywood sequel where it was rushed and put together quickly in order to get a quick buck. And there were lack of some important details, you know, the love triangle was just not there at all, and it's a very important part of the story, and they ignored Wolverine's connection with Rogue. I don't know, maybe I'm being a prick, but it just didn't live up to the second one. It's more "what could've been". It was, nonetheless, a great comic-to-film movie and an enjoyable cinema experience (that's the most important part, I'd reckon, so...). AND I HATE HOW JUGGERNAUT TURNED OUT TO BE (except for the "bitch" thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND I HATE HOW JUGGERNAUT TURNED OUT TO BE (except for the "bitch" thing) I think the opposite, I mean Logan/Jean, Scott/Jean relations were very well developed, the ethics of telepathy were also there, the feelings of mutants wanting to be human, etc... Also, Logan's and Rogue's relationship was basically finished in 2 with Rogue liking Bobby and all. Also, Juggernaut is like in the comics as far as I can remember. Maybe, as a guy that reads the comics, I percept things differently because I'm already accostumed to the themes they talk about and I don't need long introductions.

About everything else, I guess it's just different ways to see the same movie. But JUGGERNAUT? Fuck no, he looks like a retard. He's supposed to be bulky, not ridiculous (at least I guess so, anyway)... I mean, Just look at it. He's too silly looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Juggers was actually smaller than his is now when he was first introduced. He was probably only a little bigger than vinnie jones in the film. Still, that film was shit, so who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
