Mr. Brightside Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 American or Japanese version? If the former, I agree. The latter - wrong, sir, wrong. American! The Japanese one is a classic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Wonderboy Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 American Pie: Beta House 7/10 Much better than the last two attempts and some really funny scenes involving animals! Seemed to end to quickly though but was a nice funny time filler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwififer Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Not seen it yet, but noticed there are flyers out for the 'dark is rising' trilogy by Susan Cooper, the first called the Seeker. The books are like Harry Potter, in the 70's so the film will be like that. Three of my favourite books growing up, so a bit pissed off they are making them into films as well, especially if they are screwing around with the plot (which they have done big style) Susan Cooper is not happy at all with film version, so I will avoid them like the plague. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 American Gangster - Instant classic 9/10 (Much better than I thought it was going to be) Rescue Dawn - Fantastic movie 9/10. Bale puts in an absolutely stunning performance and is fastly becoming a top top actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanaldinho Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Saw Beowulf the other night. I give it 4/10, quite rubbish. I thought the animation was going to be like 300, but it was more like Shrek. Edited December 12, 2007 by Seanaldinho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The Golden Compass. 3/10, pish. Daniel Craig is hardly in it too. But the talking Polar bear was mighty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 the day after an 80's tv movie about the effects of a russian nuclear attack on kansas despite the cheese tastic special effects the film gets it's message across quite well and i imagine it would have been some kind of tv event in it's time 6/10 it even has steve guttenberg in it before his police academy fame 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The Prestige. I judge films above 5 if I dont fall asleep so this was a well deserved 7.5/10. I thought I had sussed it half way through but I hadnt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could've done with using Scarlett Johansson a bit more though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really paid much attention to her but what a cracking lassie she is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shengus Khan Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I really like Christian Bale. I thought he was brilliant in The Machinist I bought that a couple of weeks ago but haven't got round to watching it yet. He is fantastic in American Psycho which I watched over the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I know you arent stupid so I'll take that post as sarcasm! I wasn't being sarcastic. I was genuinely asking what you made of the ending. I don't think the film explains at all what actually happens. The film does differ from the book somewhat but it didn't need to at all. I have had to explain the ending to just about everyone I have watched the film with, as they don't see the Science Fiction in the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Never read the book, but I caught the science fiction quite clearly, unless it's possible to do what happens for the main trick. Of course, it's not possible. It's fiction, and the nature of it is clearly science fiction. I think the movie did a fairly good job of explaining everything. The book may have gone into more detail. However, I knew all I needed to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I knew all I needed to know. You are quite right. I understood it. I just couldn't quite grasp why others couldn't understand what had happened. They are intelligent. I didn't mind explaining it to my brother, he's a thick b'stard! The storyline was pretty much shown visually, the people failing to grasp what happened probably are't visual learners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, it was just a shite, hackneyed ending to an otherwise excellent movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Wish Master 3: Devil Stone 6/10 By far the funniest film I've seen all year, including the Simpsons, as this was LOL funny. The djinn, most famous and powerful of all demons, see Helen of Troy and the Trojan Wars to see their power, and the only thing that takes him off his feet is an arm drag by St Michael (who I'm sure was wondering where his naming rights for Marks and Spencer: Simply Food went) Was hilarious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Husband Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I caught No Country For Old Men yesterday. Lived up to my expectations and the Coens are undoubtedly back. 9/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
