Guest Tomsk The Beano Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 On Her Majesty's Secret Service 8/10 The poor bugger had no chance stepping into Sean's shoes. Had Connery appeared this would be considered one of the finest Bonds of all time. It certainly has one of the best soundtracks. It's just about the only Bond film that finishes on a down beat moment. Lazenby is the dogs testicles and John Barry puts in the greatest movie score ever. Take your hankies for "Casino Royale" if you down beat moments make you sob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Just back from Bond 21. Absolutely great. Craig is brilliant as Bond - very dark, but not afraid to let a vulnerable, emotional Bond creep in now and again. Great action set-pieces, witty dialogue and humour, and great for poker geeks like me I'd give it an 8/10. Nah in fact hell, I'll give it a 9/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetooner Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 All 3 Bond Girls shaped up very, very nicely indeed... I had heard that the "main" bond girl may be the nicest bond girl EVER 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Watched 'The Island' last night. Wasnt expecting much TBH but it was quite good. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterhead Dave Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've seen Saw 3 and Napoleon Dynamite in the past few days. Saw 3 - 8/10 - Good psychological thiller, just on the right side of grotesque. Napoleon Dynamite - 0/10 - I've heard nothing but praise for this, but it's absolute gash! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least your not like the guy who earlier couldn't decide if Napoleon Dynamite was 0/10 or 10/10 I've had it in the house for ages, haven't watched it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I watched Battle Royale 2 on the telly last night - having thought the first one was alright, I stupidly thought the sequel might follow suit. After a reasonable start, it quickly deteriorated into one of the worst films I have ever seen. 1/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wallace & Gromit, Curse of the WereRabbit - 7/10. Animation well done as usual. Revolver, not a bad as the reviews, still pish - 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay(2006) Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I've seen Saw 3 and Napoleon Dynamite in the past few days. Saw 3 - 8/10 - Good psychological thiller, just on the right side of grotesque. Napoleon Dynamite - 0/10 - I've heard nothing but praise for this, but it's absolute gash! Totally agree with Napoleon Dynamite, complete garbage. I wondered if I was missing something, but then realised I had taste and humour and that was what others were missing As for Saw 3, downloaded it the other night and while the first two were class, full of gore, 3 was pants as it was mostly about the story. Less acting more blood, get it together guys. Weird seeing a fat version of the bloke in Braveheart though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Didn't go to Pittodrie today so being at a loose end I went to see The Prestige. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman play two magicians in 19th century London. Michael Caine is a sort of advisor, Scarlet Johanssen plays Jackman's glamorous assistant and David Bowie and Andy Serkis have small roles. Like one of Christopher Nolan's previous movies, Memento, The Prestige jumps about a lot chronologically. Indeed, the first spoken line of the film is "are you watching closely?" and you most certainly do need to watch closely as the story zips around. However it is quite excellent and the twist ending has just enough clues leading up to it for you to see it all coming...if you are watching closely. Definitely recommended 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfish Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Red Road 8/10 Unremittingly bleak and grim just how's I like my films. Pretty tense Glasgow set film which features Martin 'Dr Morton' Compston in the cast. Found the end quite moving. Went to see that tonight - it was better than I thought it was going to be after 20 minutes, but not spectacular. 6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Maybe he felt it was better than a 6 as it felt it was above average... but that 7 constitutes good so therefore gave it somewhere in the middle? Duh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 As for Saw 3, downloaded it the other night and while the first two were class, full of gore, 3 was pants as it was mostly about the story. Less acting more blood, get it together guys. Saw III is by far the goriest of the three films. It's also the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Watched 'Rainman' couple weeks ago. Realy enjoyed it. Watched 'Erin Brockovich' as well and is wasn't bad either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hampden Ton Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Red Road 8/10 Unremittingly bleak and grim just how's I like my films. Pretty tense Glasgow set film which features Martin 'Dr Morton' Compston in the cast. Found the end quite moving. I saw the trailer for this at the cinema a couple of months back, and nothing about it made me want to see it. My reaction to it was, 'I have no idea what its about, and despite it being made in Scotland, it doesn't appeal in the slightest'. And finding out that Martin 'ned who can only play neds' Compston is in it has only emphasised my desire to never, ever watch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
