The Redcafe Movie review thread

I like the way it touched on the history of the skinhead movement. Sure, it wasn't deep, but people who think skinhead culture was just a racist movement, will get a much better idea of the whole picture.

Agreed

Just watched:

House of Wax - Typical Horror flick, for pure entertainment value. O.K.
Flags of our fathers - For war movie buffs. O.K.
Letters from Iwo Jima - Touching. Good.

They're worse than movie buffs.

crappycraperson · 22nd September 2007, 16:51

I still have not been able to watch the Flags of our fathers, too boring.

Salvation · 23rd September 2007, 13:08

I enjoyed Flags. It isn't a war movie per se

Spoonatov · 23rd September 2007, 13:08

War movie buff.

golden_blunder · 23rd September 2007, 13:12

I love war movies. Watched Iwo Jima last night, very good. Takes a while to warm up.

Also watched Disturbia last night. Very enjoyable. David Morse is underated IMHO. Also got that chick out of the Matrix, Carrie-Ann Moss. Hot. 7/10

Spoonatov · 23rd September 2007, 13:15

I like war movies, too. Although, Come and See was a very hard watch.

Salvation · 23rd September 2007, 13:16

In my defence, I thought Saving Pravate Ryan was hilarious

Movies that I have in store currently:

A Bout De Souffle
Lives of Others
Tsotsi

Seen any, El Grande?

There's always a 'Don't dare picture me naked' vibe about her

Saving Private Ryan was indeed hilarious. Loved the robotic German soldiers who kept on coming out of the bunking, only to get shot. You'd think they'd realise that it's not safe. Almost like a video game. Space Invaders.

Lives of Others is brilliant. Loved the female lead. Not seen the others, yet, Salvatore.

Salvation · 23rd September 2007, 13:28

That Uppam bloke, in fairness was the only thing intentionally funny

I'll check it out. Have to go through the tedious process of ripping it cos they haven't given the spastic subtitles with it

Bastard.

Are you sure you weren't sleepy when you put it on because I really got absorbed in that movie and loved every scene.

Possibly. Just thought it was very harsh, though. Great anti-war movie, though.

Van Piorsing · 23rd September 2007, 20:41

Das Boot was awesome. Tv series "Band Of Brothers" was good. Thin Red Line was not bad. Platoon was good.

olesmyhero · 24th September 2007, 17:28

Cannonball Run. Wasn't impressed with it.

Wolverine · 26th September 2007, 15:13

FAO resident Indian spasmos

Is the Sholay remake any good?

mehro · 26th September 2007, 15:42

Has it already released?

olesmyhero · 26th September 2007, 18:22

Twilight People. Fucking dreadful film. Pam Grier doesn't even get her tits out.

Heard the reviews weren't so good though.

It'd be a daunting task to make the new one as unintentionally hilarious as the old one

It was lambasted by the critics in here, the original was bollocks though

Wolverine · 26th September 2007, 20:06

The family wants to go out and watch either Aag or some Shah rukh Khan hockey film.

I'll just pretend to be sick or something. I really find it impossible to sit through melodramatic Bollywood films for three hours plus.

Salvation · 26th September 2007, 22:05

Use mehro as your substitute (unless like me you'd find that very insulting too). He's normally up for rubbish movie, not only that, he adores them to death

Wibble · 27th September 2007, 03:08

Knocked Up - Not very funny for a comedy but OK if you have nothing better to do. 5/10

Blades Of Glory - Another typically lazy single joke effort from Will Ferrel. Not as bad a talladega Nights though. The again what is? 3/10

Number 23 - Hard to say since I fell asleep in the titles and then again 5 minutes in the next night. Probably boring. 2/10

I also saw some black and white French film abot some bloke who met a women as they both attempted to kill themselves by jumping off a bridge. She may have turned out to be an angel or something later on but I camn't be sure because I had lost the will to live by that point. 2/10

Disturbia: Competent but run of the mill thriller. Ho Hum. 6/10

The Night Stalker: Another run of the Mill predicatble thriller made just about bearable by the presence of Robin Williams and Toni Collett. Just about. 5/10

Salvation · 27th September 2007, 03:11

So basically you saw 15 minutes of 8 films making it a two hour feature and called it a night?

Wibble · 27th September 2007, 05:02

No I watched all of Knocked Up, Blades of Glory, Disturbia and The Night Stalker. Obviously not on the same night as each other.

I quit of the french film about half way through I think but the Number 23 was an utter failure. i tried twice and didn't stay awake long enough to even find out what was going on. My wife made half way through the first time and then refused to watch it when I tried again on that basis that it was "utter crap".

The quality of TV has far surpassed film in the main. Which is very sad indeed.

narnar · 27th September 2007, 13:56

Looking forward to seeing Disturbia, also gotta check out Haloween. Was the original any good and how does the remake fare up to it?

Can't wait for Daywatch and Resident Evil 3 too, Nightwatch was quality.

mehro · 27th September 2007, 18:10

Maybe it's time we did that Top 100 list to bring this thread back to life.

What say you, El Grande Burrito?

Also, Last King of Scotland - Good movie

In the Mood for love, Tesis and Seconds came in the mail yesterday. Hope I get enough time to watch at least 2 of them this weekend.

Salvation · 27th September 2007, 18:40

Last King had a rubbish story with good performances

Ran - brilliantly made. Cliched storyline

mehro · 27th September 2007, 18:44

Oh dear.

Last king - based on true events.

Ran - adapted from King Lear and Mōri Motonari

Salvation · 27th September 2007, 19:04

King Lear, yes

Last King should've focussed more on Amin. The wife who the Scot bummed was fit though
