DomDom Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Spiderman 3 is pretty terrible. I wanted my money back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Meh harsh, that storyline was pretty shit (mostly because he wasnt actually evil, just emo like you say), but it was still a good film even with that. Not sure how the new one will go, looks ok but it'll have to be pretty fucking good to beat the last 3 (in box office terms) Nah that story was crap and the Sandman is a shit villain. Venom, or more importantly Topher Grace, was the only decent thing about that film IMO. Box Office numbers aren't necessarily indicative of the quality of a film. In this case, it's more that Spider-man 2 was so good and the expectation that 3 would be better was so high that people went and saw it. I don't think it does, Garfield looks a lot more like Peter Parker should. Tobey McGuire isn't geeky enough, I think Garfield looks more nerdy. From the trailer, this Spider-man looks to be funnier, which is something the other three movies lacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The Dictator-8/10 Funny and offensive, exactly what I've come to expect from a Sacha Baron Cohen flick. Not quite as good as the brilliant Borat but alot better than Bruno with plenty of offensive gags. The helicopter scene in particular was f@ckin hillarious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Jacob's Ladder Brilliant film and a must watch. Anyone know of any films even remotely like this? Only purchased this because of the Silent Hill link and it did not disappoint. 9/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrforce1 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The Crow - 7/10 Better than I thought it would be. Obviously has a big cult following but I never really fancied it, too much leather for me I decided to give it a go tonight though and it was well worth it. Quite a cheesy character (I like the fact he's different from other superheros though) and a pretty predictable story, but it comes together to be pretty cool. OK action scenes and a decent start put it up in my estimations, but the obvious last 20 minutes stopped it from being an 8 or 9. Seen this at the old odeon in glasgow and it was really superb then and a lot of atmosphere surrounding it as brandon lee was tragically killed in its production... 9/10... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunfellaff Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Drive (2011) 8/10 Fairly hyped up and can see why. An excellent film. I was not expecting as much violence that was on offer here and some of it had my face twitching. Albert Brookes puts in a perfect shift and having never really seen him have a role like this, I think he did a great. The soundtrack really helped the film. The whole thing reminded me a bit of a GTA Vice City. Ditto...... The last remake of Beau Geste (1977) 5/10 Brit 70's take on the old tale with Michael York and Marty Feldman as the identical twins of Trevor Howard. Cue French Foreign Legion japes. Good support from Spike Milligan, Terry Thomas, Roy Kinnear etc. Its either your thang or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Husband Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Moonrise Kingdom I know that Wes Anderson is the kind of filmmaker it's easy to dislike but I'm a fan of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums and I also liked The Life Aquatic and bits of The Darjeeling Ltd. But this is turgid. It's him making yet more of the same though not as well. It's not enough to rely on the audience ooing at Harvey Keitel being a scout leader or Bruce Willis as a weak policeman, they should have some amusing things to say. Some of the cutely eccentric stuff is laid on with a trowel and it's all extremely tiresome. Only part I can honestly say I liked was the set piece with the Noah's Ark play in a church. The cinematography was up to its usual high standard but so what. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magee84 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Watched 'Rise of the footsoldier' late last night.. (again !) ... Whilst never likely to win an Academy award it does what it says on the tin... the film is aimed at alpha males who like gangster movies full of violence, wisecracks and the odd tidy bit of fanny.. and this delivers in spades.. The autopsy room and range rover murder scenes are horrific and gory in the extreme.. as for the swear count... "Jesus christ, you'll be screaming fucking jesus christ when i stick this blade in you, you fucking no good c**t..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightplayer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I watched men in black 3 recently. The movie was awesome and I enjoyed it till the end and I think I’ll give it an 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Men in Black 3 ( 2012 ) So much fun. Very childish in places, but it's so well carried off that you can't help enjoy it. After the atrocious Seven Pounds, it's good to see Will Smith in such a fun role again. Josh Brolin makes for a stunning addition to things. It goes a bit heavy on the cheese at times and that's my only criticism. For the most part, this is fun stuff. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The Dictator 9/10 Sasha Baron Cohen at his brilliant best in this mindless comedy epic. For me not a patch on Bruno or Borat, which weren't as good as their TV counterparts. Thought the Dictator was about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face, although it was made for an American audience, so you can maybe forgive that. It was pretty funny in some parts though, and its very short too, which is a plus. The outtake at the end as well 'You don't need to actually touch it' 6/10 Battleship 4/10 Terrible Hollywood blockbuster, US navy sanctamonious pish. Aliens attack, the US and japanese navy team up and defeat them. I'm presuming that they hired actual veterans because the vets couldn't act for shit in the small parts they had. There's absolutely no need for this to go over 2 hours. It was the classic aliens/antagonists completely invincible at first, then become easy to kill later in the film. Not to mention the ridiculous teleport plothole which sees the love interest, science geek and injnured soldier with prosthetic legs escape the mountain top which gets blown to smitherenes in a matter of minutes. *sigh* There were a few funny moments in it, and some pretty decent effects.Trying to think if I'm being too generous with a 4....Na, thats probably about right, it's not that offensive to watch, just really long, predictable and cheesy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) The Texas Killing Fields - 5/10. Very strange film. There was loads of the plot that was totally random and left with no answers. Maybe my copy was missing some scenes, that's the way it felt. Edited May 29, 2012 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The Hit List (2011) A man walks into an Irish bar. A black man asks for a list of five people... Well now that we've started the beginning of a bad jokes based on stereotypes, you can finish the rest! Cuba Gooding Jr. is great as the hitman, but the film is so clichéd it's untrue... and there was not one bit of the film that couldn't be predicted. It was fun to watch, but to make it passable it would have needed to veer off the most linear path down Deja View. 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Eastern Plays (2009) - Bulgarian film which focuses around two loosely connected storylines, an alcoholic/druggy artist going through some sort of existentialist crisis and his younger brother who is being initiated into a Nazi skinhead gang. American Beauty and American History X but in Bulgaria if you will. Brilliant film, which hit me harder when I realised that the main character is playing himself, a real life depressive drug addict. Even some of the supporting cast are people from his life. At the end, the film is tributed to him, who died in his thirties before the film was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Zombie Undead (2010) Utterly terrible British zombie film set in Leicestershire, where a group a few people are taken to an "evacuation facility" (looked like a hospital to me) by a paramedic where zombies are all over the bloody place. The only things stopping this from getting a pathetic 1/10 were: It being one of only a few films to ever make me jump; when two of them have escaped and a sitting under a tree, a random farmer blows the guys head of from a distance with a sniper rifle. The afore-mentioned guy taking revenge on the guy who caused the paramedic to die earlier, by kicking him in the head as they climbed out a hatch causing the zombies to get him. Them killing Emile Heskey zombie! :lol: 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
