ZULU
 Plot: Based on a true story. Brits try to colonize africa. The natives say no thank you. Outnumbered British soldiers do battle with Zulu warriors at Rorke's Drift. Rating: 8 out of 10. One of the all time classics. |

 A stupid mom (Julianne Moore) has her kid die and tires to cover it up with the usual "it was a black guy done jacked my ride" story. Mr. Mo'fucker himself is the cop assigned to uncover the real story by sticking with the mom. Overly melodramatic at times, the ending doesn't really surprise. This move is Samuel L. Jackson's "best work" in the following two instances: While describing his first meeting with the mom to another cop: Samuel L. Jackson: "She shook my hand. She shook my motherfuckin' hand!" In another scene after another black cop gets lambasted for being a "three piece uncle tom" Samuel L. weighs in with "Yeah, brotherfucker" or something like that. Otherwise, this movie is useless. 2/10 |

 PLOT Cocaine dealer wants to get out of the life, but whitey wants to get in the way. REVIEW My favorite blaxploitation film of all time. Ron O'Neal delivers a solid performance as the cocaine dealer Priest. One of the best ever soundtracks courtesy of Curtis Mayfield. RATING 9/10 |

 PLOT: Set in the United Kingdom, the film concerns the breakdown of society following the release of a plague known as “Rage” (which almost instantly locks those who are infected by it into zombie-like creatures, a state of irreversible hyperactivity and murderous insanity), and the struggle of a handful of survivors trying to come to terms with the ruins of everything they once knew. REVIEW This is a stylish indie flick and is one of the few films that I can watch over again. Some great scenes of a post-apocalyptic London, however acting in places can be a bit dry. RATING 8.5/10 Also look out for the sequel 28 weeks later in 2007. |

 Quadraphenia 1979 London, 1965: Like many other youths Jimmy's hates the philistine life, especially his parents and his job in mailing division. Only when he's together with his friends, a 'Mod' clique, cruises London on his motor-scooter and hears 'The Who' and 'The High Numbers', he feels free and accepted. However it's a flight into an illusionary world. 8/10 well worth a watch |

 Plot: Another Blaxploitation pic, this time with a female in the lead role. Smart, sexy and dangerous, Cleopatra Jones is a federal agent like no other, on the job to bust heroin trafficking gangs in the ghettos of the US. She also operates internationally and is hard to kill. Lots of gunplay and kung-fu. Doodlebug and Mommy are great villans. Review: Great fun this film and if you wanna learn how to talk jive, fool, you'd better know who your friends are, before you start runnin' your mouth! Rating: 7/10, 10/10 if you're high. I'd recommed the sequel "Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold" where she travels to Macau (I think) to take on a Chinese Herion Gang. |

 imdb Plot: In the underbelly of the Parisian criminal world, the Police are frustrated by a gang committing a series of violent robberies... Forget about "The Departed", "Mou Gaan Dou", whether a remake was sensible or not and which of the two's better. Doesn't matter. If "The Departed" could be considered as Jack Nicholson's big return, so should "36" for Gérard Depardieu - One of the most cold-blooded killers I've seen in films for years. Seriously, I wasn't expecting anything from "36" but it turned out to be a great piece of cinema. French cinema  It's not narrowed to the typical Drama / Crime drivel and it's clever, well written and of course - played.I can pretty well guarantee you're not be disappointed if you take the risk to see it. 8/10 |

Some of you lot give very generous marks.
28 Days Later would get a solid 5/10 from me. Very ordinary. Quadraphenia wasn't very good either 4/10 IMO. Totally agree with plech re. Ferrel type comedys. Half arsed and often based on one amusing idea that could have been developed into a good film but they were just too fecking lazy. There Is Something About Mary is what these sort of films could have been woith less lazy scripts, direction and acting. |

Hidden
Director: Michael Haneke Starring: Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche And unusual French language thriller with hints of Hitchcock. Don't bother if you gravitate to the Armageddon end of the film spectrum but if you enjoy foreign language films in general and/or like films that make you feel and think e.g. Memento then you will enjoy this. The slow pace and lack of a soundtrack make this a slightly challenging film to watch but if you have lots of time to relax, preferably in a quiet/dark place so that you can be drawn into the feel of the film, it is highly rewarding. The basic plot is that a couple start getting odd video tapes of the outside of their house wrapped in odd drawings, seemingly drawn by a kid, of a kid's head with blood coming out of the mouth. The rest you can discover as you watch. My film of the year so far 8.5/10 To give you perspective I would give Godfather 2 and Apocalypse Now 9.5/10 and Three Colours Blue 9/10. |

Bruce Almighty
What a stinking pile of sentimental shit. I would rather shove an orange up my arse than watch this again. If you are a 12 year old Christian who believe in the moral message thats being rubbed in your face, than you might enjoy this. If however, like me you are an athiest, then the only thing (apart from the occasional giggle at a silly joke) that will keep you watching, is the massive tits of Catherine Bell. A film that is bordering on propaganda (ok maybe thats a bit harsh), basically preaches from the rooftops about the choices you should make in life, it's like God paid some hollywood studio to make a propaganda film about him. Well maybe I'm going a bit far, but if a film comedy promoting atheism was ever made we would never hear the end of it. -10/10 |

speaking of which..
Im gonna git you sucka!  Plot: In this parody of blaxploitation movies, a black hero wannabe reunites former black heroes from the 70s to help him get revenge on Mr. Big. One of my favourite movies. Early stuff by the Wyans. Rib Joint Customer: Ya got any soda? Hammer: One dollar. Rib Joint Customer: Aw, c'mon, now! Look out for a brother, man, c'mon, yeah. Check this out: why don't you let me get a sip for fifteen cents? Hammer: My cups cost more than fifteen cents! Rib Joint Customer: All right, fuck the cup. Pour it in my hand for a dime. Rating: old but still fun, 7 out of 10 |

 PLOT An aging documentary filmmaker sets out to find the animal that killed his best friend. REVIEW It takes a certain type of person to like Wes Anderson films. They're often a bit awkward and quirky, leaving some people not liking them. I just so happen to be a fan of his movies. This is another funny movie, but in very subtle ways. I don't think it's Anderson's best, but still a good movie. RATING 7.5/10 |

My Super Ex Girlfriend
Ordinary guy's new girlfriend is a superhero and a mentalist, he dumps her, she goes even more mental, unfunny stupidity follows. 1/10 and it only got that because I watched it in a good mood over Christmas. |

 The Last Samurai Plot Nathan Algren(Tom Cruise) is some ex-American general who is hired by the Japanese to lead their army in war against the Samurai. He's captured by the Samurais during battle and learns their ways while living in captivity. Review Fantastic movie. It's one of my favourite ones. Ken Watanabe was fantastic as Katsumuto... I think that was his name. The whole thing is shot in a beautiful place(in the mountains of Japan, I guess) -- it's a beautiful movie. One of those movies you'd love to watch on a day when you're bored as feck. 8.5/10 |
