Monster Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 After all this recent chat about The Coen Brothers I realised I'd never seen The Big Lebowski Luckily, it was on E4 last week, so I recorded it and watched away. It's a superb film - it's just hilarious. So many over the top characters. When John Goodman pulled that gun in the row over bowling I thought I'd choke with laughter. Plus I have a new phrase to repeat ad nauseum until everyone is sick of it: YOU'RE IN A WORLD OF PAIN!! I'm giving this 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watty Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The Number 23 Hmmm, very slow start, pretty pish middle and maybe just creeping an OK-ish end, Carey not suited to this role, left me feeling underwhelmed, pretty cak. 3/10 Sideways A right load of pish this one, yank stereotypes go on a wine valley tour to not much giggles, supposed comedy, i didnae get it masel. 2/10 The Bourne Ultimatum Yup, liked this one, as most other people had, good action, good acting, left open for another. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of over-convoluted crap that film is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBud Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Charlie Wilson's War - Enjoyed it enough, to keep me awake last night, when I was pretty tired. Most of the cast were excellent. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemjsim Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Watched Charlie Wilsons War 6/10 enjoyed it 30 Days of Night 7/10 Pretty Brutal but the ending was a bit of a cliche 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I am Legend - 8/10 Good film but let down by the scene showing Big Willy topless doing pull ups. This moved the Wife more than any of the scary moments and she's now insisting that I go to the gym 5 days a week to get the same physique. She wasn't too happy when I insisted that she go to the plastic surgeon to look like Kelly Brook! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I am legend- 7/10 Too many parallels with 28 days later. Decent story if rushed a bit at the end. Felt it could be open for a sequel. Makes me yearn for a decent version of Stephen Kings "The Stand". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It's been ages since I watched the tv movie of The Stand. I'm trying to remember if it was any good or not. Great book tho It was good, i watched it about 6 months ago, looks very dated but still better than I am legend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great book tho The book is fantastic but i think the number of films recently portraying the demise of the human race will go against any rumours of them doing a re-make. Would be great to see though with a big budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm giving this 9/10 Yeah the Coen Brothers have released some fantastic films the Big Lebowski is really funny , Fargo was excellent as is Miller's Crossing and i have just finished watching their first film Blood Simple , its brilliant , i rate that and No Country For Old Men as their best 2 finally now getting the chance to sit down and see what the hype is about Cloverfield , this better not let me down , Blair Witch was original at the time , i think JJ Abrahams is too clever to try and copy that formula , i will be let down if its just a rip off from the blair witch does anyone watch the documentaries ? for example : In the hands of god , Sicko , shut up and sing , my kid could paint that etc etc etc , some of these are fantastic , documentaries almost film like , worht watching to see the state of society today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The Breed (2006) 6/10 Michelle Rodriguez puts in a decent performance in a Wes Craven produced cross between Cujo and The Howling. Decent wee movie, and Taryn Manning is cute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
