Mak Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You don't have to be a pleasant person to be a bit more sympathetic. I didn't think the balance was right because I had absolutely zero sympathy for anything that any of them went through. Every single one of them was a c**t that got what was coming. Why do I care ? Can't really say that I agreed. I wouldn't have gone so far as to say that the characters were sympathetic, but there were times that I felt a certain amount of sympathy (if that makes sense) in terms of what happened to them next. On topic, Jumper : 7/10 I'd heard a lot of people slating this, but I thought that it was okay for what it was. Totally daft plot, but suspend the disbelief for an hour and twenty minutes and it's perfectly watchable. Also, Rachel Bilson's in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Igor Not great. Wasn't really funny and didn't think the story was that great either, not terrible though. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayBees Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Moon I think Sam Rockwell isn't recognised enough. He's very good. Here he plays a lone moon based astronaut on a 3 year mission who encounters another version of himself. Together he and himself struggle to find some answers about what his mean company bosses have done to him. Unsettling music and Kevin Spacey in his best role in years as the voice of a computer add to the atmosphere. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantoms-livi-lass Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The ugly truth I saw this at the cinema & it's a great film, not what I thought it would be like (sickly chick flick rom com) It's hilarious & definately one for the guys as well as the girls, I wouldn't recommend it for the prudish or on a first date! Very funny with a good humoured dose of filth thrown in, I would score it 8/10 but that's only because Gerard butler didn't get his kit off or it would have been more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The Hurt Locker Brilliant movie. The performances, the cinematography, the story, everything is damn near perfect. It's hard to believe this is from the same woman who directed Point Break. It's amazing how the oddest things look really beautiful in this. I can't recommend this highly enough. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlue62 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Inglorious Basterds.Haha, what a film. When Spielberg makes a WW2 film he makes it bleak, gritty, depressing and as realistic as possible. When Tarentino makes a WW2 film he adds modern day rock music and completely makes up everything that happened. 9/10 P.S, the bit where Pitt is pretending to be Italian and he goes "Bonjourno" in the thickest Southern U.S of A accent ever was funny as f**k. Yeah! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidh1874 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) TYSON A must for any boxing fan. 7.5/10 0.5 off for my sneaking suspicion that some of Tyson's monologue's were scripted. Edited August 27, 2009 by davidh1874 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just a Boys' Game - 8/10 "McCafferty! Your teas' oot!" This is just brilliant. Frankie Miller in his only acting role as Jake is class, and though Jake's a proper hard c*nt, you can't help but like him. Ken Hutchison as Dancer is great too. And possibly it's biggest plus is that it's a Scottish play, but it's not cringeworthy at all. Unlike most of the shite now. Watch it on YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Heat Typical cat and mouse style film but with a very good, all star cast. Pacino is absolutely brilliant. He is quite light hearted throughout untill the end. He portrays every emotion very well. Some decent actions scenes too which, all in all, make 'Heat' a very good enjoyable watch. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeJones Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Cloverfield 7/10 bit mental likes! Couldnt really make out what was going on and not much story but some bits were good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Max Payne - 4/10 Lot of pish, wasn't really expecting anythin great from it but it was pretty dreadful. The Rock 8/10 Good action film, plenty of shootin etc Even Nicholas Cage is pretty decent in it. Million Dollar Baby - 9/10 had it in the DVD collection for ages and finally got round to watchin it tonight, utterly fantastic. I was utterly engrossedfor the last 45 mins or so. Everyone in it is fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint dave Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Watchmen 8/10. Jackie Earle Haley who played Rorschach(and also Dukes the smelly hippy in Semi-Pro) was outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Broggie for me Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 A Night to Remember Caught this on BBC 2 this afternoon - exactly the same as Cameron's Titanic without the DeCaprio and Winslett characters slowing the story. Love these old classic black and white films : Drama-documentary based on the events of April 14, 1912. Luxury liner Titanic is five days to sea. Its staterooms crowded with the rich, talented and fashionable of Europe and America, the ship is the pride of Second Officer Herbert Lightoller and Thomas Andrews, its designer. Yet when a giant iceberg looms, the 'unsinkable' ship is doomed, and Andrews knows it 10 out of 10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dougalldogg Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The Final Destination 3D If you have seen 1 you have seen them all, exactly the same as the rest same character basis etc waste of a 10er. I still dont get the whole 3D thing its shit, you wear glasses look like a twat ( I wear two pairs makin me more of a twat) n it doesnt enhance the cinema experience at all? 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
