SaltyTON Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hellboy (2004) Good film from del Toro that makes me want to see the sequel, despite it looking even more ludicrous than the this one. I wish people would stop using David Hyde Pierce as a voice over, as he has the most distinctive voice in the world, and the first thing you think when you hear him is "Oh, there's Niles from Frasier!" Selma Blair is far less annoying than she normally is, which can only be a good thing! 7/10, with a bonus point for the well timed use of Red Right Hand! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sequel's great, I've seen it twice now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Babel ( 2006 ) A brilliant movie. There's basically four stories. The most engaging of which is the story of the young Chinese girl who seemingly has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Brad Pitt pulls yet another corking performance out of the bag in the central plot, but that side of things rarely gets going properly, and that's why the movie won't score the full 10 points. The scattered timeline doesn't take away from the movie as it isn't an issue to the plot. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Drillbit Taylor (2008) Wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. Owen Wilson was pretty good in the role of Taylor. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Num Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Kenny (2006) - 8/10 Undoubtedly the best Portaloo mockumentary ever made! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Baby Mama ( 2008 ) "It feels like I'm shitting a knife !" Awesome. The movie is filled with similar delivery actually. So much better than I expected going into it. Plenty of stupid comedy, but this is actually FUNNY stupid, rather than "insult your intelligence" stupid. The usual sentimental crap, but that's predictable, so why take anything away ? Surprisingly good comedy. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Today I saw Hellboy 2: Golden Army What a steaming pile of CGI rubbish. From the guy who made Pan's Labyrinth too. Shameful. 3/10 Free coffee was nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberman Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Pierrepoint 7/10 True story about Britain's most prolific hangman. I read his autobiography a few months ago so was quite intrigued by how Timothy Spall would play the role, he done it quite well, managing to capture the various emotions, moods and opinions Pierrepoint had down to a tee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Lethal Weapon ( 1987 ) A great start to this series of movies, which amazingly, I have never seen before. It just builds and builds, and the big climax is absolutely terrific. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Lethal Weapon 2 ( 1989 ) A bit reliant on the laughs, probably because there isn't as solid a plot as there was a last time. Joe Pesci is a fantastic addition to the usuals though. Charming in a sort of irritating way. The movie is not on the same level of the first one, even though this one hits the ground running since we already know the guys. The plot isn't quite on the same level and the bad guys are just nowhere near the awesomeness of the first one either. That said, it's still a fun follow up and worth a watch for anyone wanting to see the whole collection. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Lethal Weapon 3 ( 1992 ) Back to the same level as the first one, mainly because they decided to go completely down a different route. Mel Gibson has his best performance of the three, as he's in brilliant comic form. The main focus seemed to be on the partners, rather than on the main plot with the villains and such. That's what brings this one back to the same level. Plus some major hilarity. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Cool Runnings (1993) Saw this on the telly the other day. This is me seeing it the second time, and it was just as good as the first. It is a fun type of film and if you are looking for that then you won't find all that many better. It is also a great story. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the scene at the start when Gibson persuaded Glover to face the guy with the flamethrower and machine gun in his undies in a bid to distract him, just to see if "he would do it". Although Gibson was reluctant to do this one, he still looked as though he was enjoying himself and it's a decent addition to the Lethal Weapon series. Jet Li was sinister as the Chinese Triad whom they come up against. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 AI : artificial intellegence. Biggest load of shite I've seen in a long time. 2/10 It is, isn't it? A right mess. Half of the film is quite dark and brooding and cyberpunky, then Kubric dies and Speilberg slaps on a ton of schmaltz to make it a trully dreadful film. WTF is all that underwater ending malarkey? Today I saw Hellboy 2: Golden ArmyWhat a steaming pile of CGI rubbish. From the guy who made Pan's Labyrinth too. Shameful. 3/10 It is absolute rubbish and nowhere near as good as the first one. I should have realised the problem when I sat down in the cinema, the row behind me was all kids. I was thinking to myself, "why have they let kids in for an 18 certificate", then it turns out it is a 12a, not even a 12, but a 12a, which means any kid under 12 can see the film so long as they are with an adult. From start to finish it lacks the punch, the coolness and the downright nihilism of the first. It also adds cheese by the fucking bucketload and several subplots that are downright bizarre and pointless. In fact the script reads like it was 100 pages long but someone lost a random selection of 40 odd pages. I was really looking forward to this, and it was a real let down. And to add to that it was shit trailers, annoying adverts and I have a row of 8yo's laughing and eating sweets all night behind me. Guillermo Del Torro, you should be ashamed of yourself. As should Mark Kermode who actually gave the film a decent review! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
