SaltyTON Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 It's in my genre, anyone giving Hostel above a 5 is a lunatic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I just watched Smokin' Aces. I thought, well its a mafia movie with Ray Liotta and Andy Garcia. It must be good. Think Lock, Stock with loads more violence and no humour and you have the basis of the movie. At least Ben Affleck was killed off quickly, that was a bonus. One thing about Andy garcia though. He looked so much like Warden Norton from Shawshank in this movie. How old is Garcia these days? It's a good watchable gangster shoot em up type movie, just not the kind of movie I particulartly go for. I watched Donnie Brasco this morning as well. Just fantastic.

DomDom Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 My review of Hostel on another forum ... For a start, there was no need for every single death to be so graphic. It seemed to be done purely for shock value. Sort of lost the shock after the 5th time. However, the thing with the eye still managed to be pretty horrific and that was a good bit into the movie. The other pointless thing was giving the Dutch guy a backstory. Why should I care ? Keep the guy as cold blooded and as hollow as he actually is instead of feeding us such filth. Other than that there were some decent things.The scenes before they reach Bratislava were usually good fun. Of course, they completely killed the tension on that front as well by putting terror music in a conversation that never needed it, and also made it quite clear what the next destination was and what was going to happen. Also made sure I seen every single twist coming as well. Infact, the more I type about it, the more I find wrong with it. Including sign posting everything that's going to happen. Ugh. It really is a complete crock of crap. Oh, and Transformers I forgot to rate. 9/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gall09 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 the departed 8/10 back on track from scorcese worth it just for mark wahlberg's quality dialogue. Great film. On a very childish note, i loved the way Matt Damon said "Darlene" in his New York accent. It reminded me of the voice they have for the news in South Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The Wicker Man ( 1973 ) Wowowowow. The greatest horror movie of all time. All of the classic horrors came from the 70s but this is the best of the lot, building the tension and suspense untill it's truly horrifying ending. I can't encourage people enough to go out and get this on DVD. It's capped off from fantastic performances from Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsTON Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 :lol: :lol: Not a fan then ? He's not a fan of any classics unless they're some obscure, third rate horror flick that nobody's heard of. PS I've never seen Wicker Man but going to watch it on my (now extended somewhat) tea break as it must be very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 PS I've never seen Wicker Man but going to watch it on my (now extended somewhat) tea break as it must be very good. Scratch that. Doesn't appear to be on any of the movie sites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Scratch that.Doesn't appear to be on any of the movie sites. The original is okay, but not a horror. Looking at IMDB list I gave it 6/10. The remake was a 4/10, don't watch the Nic Cage version whatever you do!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
