SaltyTON Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) A good prequel to the Underworld series, with Rhona 'collagen injection' Mitra doing a decent job as Viktor's daughter Sonja. It built up the story as to why Viktor was asleep for the earlier films and brought in Selene right at the end just to make everyone happy! 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloobell Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I watched 3 films on the flights to and from LA Benjamin Button - 6/10 and distinctly average for Brad Pitt Yes Man - 7/10 and back to your typical zany Jim Carrey type film, although not in the same class as Mask Frost/Nixon - 10/10. Had me fixated from start to finish and is totally compelling viewing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Last Exit to Brooklyn - 7/10 Really enjoyed this and although it's bleak, it's not as depressing as some (on IMDB anyway) are making out. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays her character brilliantly and the situation she gets herself in at the end of the film just to be loved and the centre of attention is brutal. Plus it's got Paulie from Rocky. Memento - 9/10 Amazing. Love the fact that his whole life since the incident has just been a continual loop, basically through his choice. The scene Natalie goads him into hitting her then sits in her car till he forgets was brilliantly evil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Waltz With BashirFinally got around to watching this film, which is probably best described as an animated documentary, in which the director goes to speak with Israeli veterans from the 1982 Lebanon War in order to try to piece together his pieces of memory and flashbacks. Essentially a series of memories presented in the same rotoscope style as used in A Scanner Darkly and Waking Life, visually it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It also made me laugh, cry and think. One of the best films I have ever seen. 10/10 I plan to see this in the next fortnight. You should watch "In the City of Sylvia" - I think you would like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 A Room for Romeo Brass - 8/10 Paddy Considine is brilliant. The speed at which he turns on first Gavin, then Romeo, is genuinely frightening. The War Zone - 8/10 Brutal film from Tim Roth about child abuse. Tremendously acted by all involved. Harsh Time - 6/10 Just couldn't take it serious seeing Christain Bale and Freddy Rodriguez calling each other "dawg" and acting like overgrown frat boys. Some good action though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabqos Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 v for vandetta thought it would be crap but was surprisd better than watching eastenders 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the midfield general Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Visually excellent, and would no doubt be even better if I could have watched it on something a little more advanced than my shite TV. Casey Affleck was very good as Robert Ford and Brad Pitt decent as Jesse James. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Zack and Miri Make a P0rno 6/10 - funny enough. Elizabeth Banks is hot as f**k, and she looks a right durty as well. Pineapple Express 5/10 James Franco was brilliant, but it was a stupid ending ( yes I know it was a stupid film, but it lost my interest towards the last half hour). Got the following to watch over the next few days- Australia, Body of Lies, Burn After Reading, Cass, Chaos, Eastern Promises, Ghost Town, Rachel Getting Married, Rambo, Role Models, Valkyrie, Yes Man, Quantum of Solace, The Reader. Shall report back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Damned United: 8/10. For a footie film, I thought it was rather good and solid performances by Sheen and Spall, as Clough and Taylor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 little miss sunshine....8/10 lot better than i had thought it would be..alan arkin was brilliant as the junkie grandpa I was literally crying with laughter in the cinema when the girl does her dance routine near the end.
