DarkBlue62 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 JumperIt ended a bit weird. Shouldve and couldve continued a fair bit more. I enjoyed it none the less. 7/10 Big Daddy Not one of Adam Sandlers best but still good. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Watchmen; Saw it last night and f**k me did it push my buttons, the story is as it should be and the set pieces are brutal and quite stunning, the ending has been changed but it fits nicely and has the same affect as in the book. So glad it was an 18 cert so they could do the job as they saw fit and not fill the film with lots of cut away shots for a 15 cert and a bigger audience. For me it's an 8/10 but as i was watching it i thought, if you're not a fan it could feel like it's dragging it's heels in parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) The Boys from Brazil I somehow had it in my head that this was a serious film. Instead it was a bit of a caper - but an enjoyable enough one at that. Bizarrely edited: two scenes on the quote-unquote science of cloning were absurdly long. 6.5/10 Edited March 21, 2009 by Swampy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McDonald Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith brilliant film, best film of all six and the fight at the end is immense all in all 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Big DaddyNot one of Adam Sandlers best but still good. 6/10 6! The movie extremely funny! Gran Torino (2008) Very good. Eastwood's rascism reminded me of my granda. Very good story and even though it wasn't a comedy it still had some funny moments (i.e when Sue (sp?) was with that boy and they come across the black guys and he starts acting as he is them ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Duplicity. Saw this on Saturday night. Clive Owen and Julia Roberts in confusing spy comedy thriller. I was finding it hard not to fall asleep* in the cinema I was so bored with it and I was continuously hoping that it was near the end of the film so I could leave. Never a good sign. I don't even know what the whole point of the film was. They just seemed to talk to each other and meet up and have sex with each other (not exactly a bad thing of course!) and then they stole something at the end but were double crossed all along. How unpredictable. 3/10. *This might have something to do with eating a large piece of chocolate fudge cake from TGIs before entering the cinema and feeling pretty damn full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My Boss's Daughter One of them you just watch in bed whilst trying not to think about going to work the next morning. I got about half way through it then began to ponder if it was the worst film I have ever watched. Tara Reid started to do a strip which kept my interest but she only got down to her bra which annoyed me further. I stuck it out and out of nowhere one of the gags had me laughing like an idiot, so for this one gag i'm going to give it 3/10 and that's being nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the gag, but I nearly pissed myself. I think it might have been something to do with the hick with the baseball cap, cause he was quite funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Hutchwright Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Il Divo Despite not having the faintest idea as to what was going on for much of the film, I thought it was quite brilliant. It looks and sounds beautiful. It's fair to say that I'm not exactly clued up on Italian politics of the 70's & 80's, so the film was more than a little confusing at time. In fact the ticket lady handed me a pamphlet which gave a bit of backround information and profile of the main movers and shakers, but instead of swotting up I chose to kind of muck about instead. I didn't find that my ignorance detracted from the enjoyment of it too much though, as it was such a fantastic film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stain Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The Perfect Hideout, No long finished watching this and it's probably one of the worst films I've ever seen that doesn't have Dolph Lundgren in it. It's supposed to be set in Germany but all the actors had American or English accents, the characters were completely unconvincing, and the story was embarassingly cliche-ridden. The premise of the film involves two fugitives who break into a house and take the occupant hostage only to find he's a deranged murderer. I thought this was an interesting idea which makes the fact that it was ruined by appaling acting, banal dialogue and the failure to produce any meaningful ideas beyond the original premise all the more dissapointing.

ARoverinLeeds Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Quantum of Solace, not as good as Casino Royale. Plus it has to be the shortest Bond film ever. I really miss Q. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Tropic Thunder - Absolute pish. 3/10. I thought Anchorman was rubbish the first time I watched it too though so I might give this a second look to see if there were any genius moments that I missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen I had never heard of the watchmen before and wasnt overly impressed with the trailers, but i had a spare afternoon and didnt fancy any of the other films on show. What a film, very good story,excellent action and tastey birds to look at. I dont know why the critics said that fans of the graphic novels would be the only ones that would like it. I thought the 3 hrs flew in. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee4Life1893 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Gran Torino Fantastic, if a bit predictable storyline. Can't say I've ever been overly fond of Clint Eastwood movies but I thought he was brilliant in this. Actually left me a bit sad at the end, although I am a man!

StewartyMac Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Three and Out British film starring Gareth from The Office as a train driver who accidentally kills two people on the track and is told if he kills a third within a month, he'll be paid off with 10 years salary. Likeable enough comedy, which ended up being very touching at the end. Good performances from the cast, especially from Colm Meaney, who I'd only ever seen before in Con Air. As is usual with British comedies, some of the background stuff is the funniest, but overall a good film which I quite enjoyed, and miles better than 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men', although that wouldn't be hard. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
