The Redcafe Movie review thread

Hancock is a poor film. Silly plot, lack of humour, ordinary special effects and no Charlize Theron nudity to save it.

mehro · 9th July 2008, 14:13

Jumper - Rubbish

Spammy · 9th July 2008, 15:38

They should have called it Cardigan.

Utd heap · 9th July 2008, 15:41

i know i'm about 15 years late, but i watched Pulp Fiction last night.
Quality obviously, but marginally preffered Resevoir Dogs.

Same.
I thought it started well, not a bad concept and actually they could have done a better job with some of the jokes to start with as well.

But the main plot was incredibly rubbish.

Just watched The Forbidden Kingdom - kung fu film with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Was pretty shite really, there always has to be some snotty American kid who just happens to master Kung Fu in a few hours and then manage to pull some really hot bird.

Feckin directors.

looked so much better in the trailers, I was so dissapointed, I best describe it as a bored sunday afternoon flick. the white witch was super hot

crappycraperson · 9th July 2008, 23:32

I want to kill maself.
Just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Fucking shit, they could not even pull off slap stick comedy properly. And you could guess what was gonna happen after 15 mins of the movie.

Alex · 9th July 2008, 23:53

The Ruins - F

Sam Atherton · 11th July 2008, 17:59

Hancock - utter utter shit.

The Eye (Chinese) - watched this for the first time a few days ago and found it to be quite a big let down. Hyped up as a horror classic and was really quite dull - perhaps due to the replication of its ideas over the last decade or perhaps because it was just crap- not sure which.

R.Nilsson7 · 13th July 2008, 04:02

Casshern.

Absolutely stunning movie. The sound and visual effects were outstanding. The soundtrack was beautiful aswell. Probably the most beautiful movie i've ever seen. The ending was strange though and i didn't really understand were the big lightning stone came from.

utdalltheway · 14th July 2008, 14:38

saw this last night: "Foxy Brown" c.1974. Starring Pam Grier and some other people.

Pam Grier was gorgeous in this

that's all.

sidsutton · 14th July 2008, 15:11

cracking set of jugs, fo sho

i`d still do her now! (or at least when I last saw her in Jackie Brown...I reserve the right to retract this statement if more recent evidence is provided)

mehro · 14th July 2008, 15:20

Hellboy II - I don't get why this movie is getting such amazing reviews, it's nothing special. A decent action flick, better than Wanted and Hancock, nothing more. 6/10

That's one jive ass movie.

Bottle Rocket. Funny flick even though I laughed harder during Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.

Pretty much every movie she was in during the 70s she gets her tits out.

Any of you lot summed up the courage to go see Wall E and find out what the fuss is all about?

olesmyhero · 14th July 2008, 21:44

Venus. Peter O'Toole gives a wonderful performance. Overall, the first half was really good, thought the second wasn't nearly as good. The end was a bit predictable.

lao · 15th July 2008, 00:09

Harold and Maude. http://former.imdb.com/title/tt0067185/

Amazing soundtrack in a really good movie that says everything I'm trying to say to my fellow humans; live a little, let go, take chances. At least you'll end up having stories in the locker room...

samabachan · 15th July 2008, 01:04

Meet Dave. Surprisingly funny, old school family comedy. Gay in patches. 3 is stunning though.

olesmyhero · 15th July 2008, 03:48

I worked with her 2 years ago.

She was the spokesperson for Lee Denim Days(employees can pay $5 to wear jeans one day at work, money raised goes to cancer research, they can win prizes by paying the $5). We interviewed her and shot her giving away the prizes at Hallmark I think it was. She's definitely not ugly up close.

Just seen Prince Caspian. Was fully expecting to be as underwhelmed by this as the first one but was happily surprised.

Apart from the ever so slightly annoying youngest child, the kid actors were great and seemed to do a lot of their own fight scenes very convincingly. Not as good a film as LotR, tbf, but the sfx are much better.

Oh, and Prince Caspian is hot.

noodlehair · 16th July 2008, 12:09

I met Skandar Keynes the lad who plays Edmund Pevensie in Beirut of all places two weeks ago ! He has Lebanese cousins - Small world.

I read somewhere he's also the great, great, great...grandson of Charles Darwin.
