LAGer Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Straightheads - 7/10Bleak revenge thriller starring Danny Dyer and Gillian Anderson. Really enjoyed it although could be very hard to watch for some. Minus points for my annoyance at the fact Alice talked Adam into taking revenge, then fucks off and leaves him to it when he decides their perpetrators haven't had enough payback yet. Was going to watch that the other night until Film4 decided it wasn't working. Inglorious Basterds 9.5/10 Absolutely brilliant stuff, thoroughly enjoyed it. Christopher Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa (aka the Jew Hunter) is superb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dougalldogg Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The Devils Rejects Had the dvd since it came out, watched it again last night. Decent enough wee gore fest, nothing special pasted a few hours. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Graves Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Saw Danny Dyer outside the Wetherspoons in Whitehall earlier, apparently doing a play next door about what would have happened if Sid Vicious ever met Kurt Cobain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 District 9 Weird film. Something quite different. It was all cleverly shot although the story was a bit dodgy. Sets up for a brutally bad sequel I must say. There's no way a follow-up would even be of the same genre. Still, interesting viewing. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Quarantine (2008) Not one of these people that thinks the original is better cos it's in a foreign language (albeit she changes between Catalan and Spanish at points in [Rec] for some reason). This is almost EXACTLY the same movie, not much changes and there's even scenes that are IDENTICAL to [Rec]. Jennifer Carpenter spends the first hour being less annoying than Manuela Velasco, but ends up more so in the end. Plus points for the brilliant Greg Germann (Fish from Ally McBeal), it being in English so you didn't have to read it and for weird appearances by Doug Jones and Michael Jackson's brother! I really can't take much away, other than a point away from [Rec]'s score for it not having put a bit of difference in it (I can't remember if the ending was exactly the same, but the rest of it was). 7/10 Edited September 8, 2009 by SaltyTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Waterworld 1/10 - Utter drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Quarantine (2008) Not one of these people that thinks the original is better cos it's in a foreign language Nor am I. I thought REC was better because it had a much creepier and more intense atmosphere. The grit added to it, while there seemed to be a bit of gloss about the remake. Not enough to make it bad, but enough to take away the edge. Still a solid 7/10 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that pish last night. Utter mince and danny dyer is a cock Anyway watched the dark night this evening. Seen it before but it gets a very respectable 8/10.

phil-zoff-fn-ri Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Last night , with nothing much being on , watched Shaun Of The Dead on dvd. Had seen before when was first out. Brilliant comedy with Simon Pegg. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Sunshine (2007) The best film set in space since Solyaris, not really the biggest priase in the world given the amount of shite since then, but this was truly brilliant. Danny Boyle has made six good movies (that I've seen), and when your worst film is the iconic Trainspotting you've got to be taken seriously as a director! 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Intolerable Cruelty - it's been a while since the Coen brothers did anything remotely a patch on their Fargo period masterpieces, but this might just be the point where they lost things altogether. The opening 20 minutes is alright, witty script and a bit of slapstick thrown in. By the half way point, you are thinking "this better not end the way all the signs suggest it is going to" and by the point that it does you just have to say "what the f**k is this shit?" 2/10 Catherine Betablocker Jones providing the standout points. Informers At the risk of being repetitive, what the f**k is this shit? 0/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
