It is overrated.

Bottle Rocket was good. . .and I enjoyed Shrek 3. Does this make me gay?

utdalltheway · 27th May 2008, 15:42

Saw the Indiana Jones one on Sunday night. poor effort imo.
Some of the special effects were good though, specially near and at the end.

Caught No Country for Old Men on DVD last night. Some good acting there but overall I didn't care for it. Maybe I'll revisit my opinion later but for now it's not the type of movie that I'd watch again.

No.

Superbad

Not as funny as it was cracked up to be. Seen it all before really. I did enjoy it though, but only the scenes with McLovin have stayed with me. The rest of it was fairly forgettable.

6.5 out of 10

3.10 to Yuma

Very good. I like a western, and this is up there with anything of late. Not sure about the ending though.

8 out of 10

Spoonatov · 27th May 2008, 15:58

Thank fuck for that.

Cheers.

I should be getting I'm Not There in the mail today. Looks to be a good one.

Bilbo · 29th May 2008, 15:35

Death Proof

Loved it. Fully deserves to be in the Tarantino portfolio. Kurt Russell was perfectly cast. The action scenes were entertaining, without really being anything new (although I can't recall ever seeing a tyre rip through someones face in slo-mo before). Reviews were mixed, but personally I thought it was excellent.

8.99/10

That was a fucking annoyingly overrated piece of crap.

Guys, know of any nice movies where the criminal is playing a game or taunting with the police by dropping clues like se7en? Please recommend me.

If you don't mind hong hong movies there's one by Johnny To I find quite enjoyable. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216165/

If you wanna download it you need to register at http://bt.avistaz.com and search for "running out of time"

There's also a part 2 uploaded by the same guy "Ackchoo" from that same search which is not bad also.

Thanks

I love Running out of Time. Andy Lau is one of my favorite actors.

American Gangster. Overall, I liked it. Denzel does a good job playing the bad guy for once. The missus hit the wrong button so we watched the theatrical version, I'd like to see the unrated version.

Looking forward to see Kung Fu Panda next Friday

I cant overly remember it tbh. I remember liking it though.

olesmyhero · 2nd June 2008, 01:24

Stranger than Fiction. Pretty good movie I felt. Can't decide if the ending worked for me.

Spoonatov · 2nd June 2008, 08:55

I really enjoyed Stardust. Fantastic film.

UnitedRoadRed · 2nd June 2008, 12:30

The new Indiana Jones film - enjoyable tosh. Not as good as the first or third, but better than ToD. As believable as the others, so don't expect anything profoundly educational; this is a hark back to Spielberg's blockbuster days rather than anything with a moral story.

Dresilved · 2nd June 2008, 13:53

If you want to see something beautifully photographed go see "The Fall" by Tarsem Singh, same guy who did "The Cell", beautifully filmed http://www.thefallthemovie.com/

lao · 2nd June 2008, 20:47

See El Orfanato(http://former.imdb.com/title/tt0464141/). Smashing stuff.

I heard it's beautiful, but a pile of shit. True?

Simon Adebesi · 3rd June 2008, 17:42

Buffallo Soldiers. That's a good film. I watched it the other day, I had forgotten how funny it was.

Mihajlovic · 3rd June 2008, 18:24

Das Experiment. Just saw it for the first time. Brilliant!

Actually I'd say thats not accurate, it does admittedly have a bit of a "princess bride" campy feel to it in the first half (same kind of story telling narrative) but its much more cleverly weaved together and the little girl in it is absolutely captaviting, she acts like a 6 or 7 year old is supposed to be, unlike holywood sytle Dakota fanning whos basically an adult in a girls body, and it does have some depth it to that most mainstream moviegoers probably fail to notice, I think Singh is paying homage to Albert Camus "The Fall", but I've not read that anywhere - I hardly watch holywood stuff now - there really has not been much to talk about recently, Indie films are much more superior, I'd say I'd give the fall a solid 7.5/10 by Indie standards.

olesmyhero · 3rd June 2008, 22:51

I'm Not There. I wonder if I need to know more about Bob Dylan's music and life to fully appreciate this one. Good performances all around. Was a decent movie, but some clarification of a few things would help.

Seems like a promising one.

olesmyhero · 6th June 2008, 04:14

Legendary Weapons of China. Was a bit too comical and the magic kung fu's not quite my thing. The final two fight scenes are well worth the price of admission though.

I was somehow one of the 6 people that saw that filum when it came out. Great little movie that one.

"well what's she done with her life that's so great?"

One of my favorite movie lines.

brad-dyrak · 6th June 2008, 07:25

I'll go ahead and say this so you can close the discussion.

The original 1930 "All's Quite on the Western Front" was the best movie ever made.

I did enjoy this thread.
