Mr. Brightside Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Original or remake? I think remake as it was on last night, I watched it too, it was shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Seen Harry Brown last week and thought it was bollocks. It was trying to be like Gran Torino, which was excellent, but failed miserably in my opinion. The whole thing seemed unnecessary. Poor acting from the majority of the cast, massively unrealistic rioting and just, generally, rotten. Best thing about it was the cracking Chase & Status song at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The Matrix ( 1999 ) This has not aged well. Some, if not most, of the dialogue is absolutely ridiculous. Morpheus talks some amount of shite right from the first minutes he's on the screen and he seemingly doesn't stop. Then everyone around him seems to sort of think "oh, right so WE'RE supposed to talk shit too, just not as much shit". We have the hilarious martial arts scene, with the golden moment where you have Neo dramatically backflipping over Morpheus only to get kicked through a pillar. The action and scenery here is amazing and brings it up to a thumbs in the middle. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 American History X ( 1998 ) A worthy addition to my full marks list right here. This movie basically takes it's 2 hours giving you two characters who are absolute c***s, and make you sympathise with them and put your emotions in them, and it works. There is some extraordinary stuff, with the highlights coming from the flashbacks to what Edward Norton did in the past and what happened in jail, but that's not to say that the stuff with his brother isn't good too. Couldn't give full marks if the little brother's plot was poor. This is must-see. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombre Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Original or remake? It was the remake. Bruno It was pretty funny/cringeworthy, and the interview with Harrison Ford was comical, still it was pretty much a gay borat, 6.5/10 Ultraviolet Futuristic nonsense but it was mindless entertainment really plus Milla Jovovich is hot so all in all not great but not especially bad 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) The Sting - 10/10 Just a brilliant film. Every character in this is cool as f*ck. The clothes, the talk, the scam itself, everything looks amazing. The scene on the train when Newman produces the four Jacks is brilliantly done, the look on Robert Shaw's cronie's face is priceless. There isn't one part of this film i don't enjoy. Thoroughly recommended. Edited December 8, 2009 by Gall09 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Running Scared - 8/10 Exciting from start to finish. I don't know what kind of critical reception this film got when it came out, but i think it deserves to be seen by many. The film is brilliantly cast with Paul Walker, Chazz Palminteri, Karel Roden and Vera Farmiga playing their parts superbly. I had heard about the paedophile bit from others who had already seen it, but i still don't think i was really expecting how horrific it is. It's a great scene though, particularly with the shadows of the couple when Oleg is in the bathroom. Was a bit gutted when it turns out that Paul Walker is a cop , bit of an easy get-out. But a great film nonetheless. Also, for some reason Karel Roden reminds me of Salty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gall09 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 SCUM - 8/10 It's Ray Winstone's film. I don't think i've ever been happier watching a film than when he cracks Phil Daniels across the face with sock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 gran torino 8/10 not bad at all. eastwood's performance was decent, and his characters racism had me in stitches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 RocknRolla - Pretty much as I expected thats why I was in no rush to see it, good enough with the usual Guy Ritchie twists and turns and was worth watching, thats about it. If you haven't seen it then imagine what it'll be like and you've got it! 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Lanarkshire Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Boy A 8/10 Great film Paranormal Activity 0/10 Slow boring and pish. The ending nearly made me punch my telly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyMack Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Far North, on Film4 last night 6/10 Purely for the comedy ending. I was still giving it belly laughs when I went to bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Paranormal Activity0/10 Slow boring and pish. The ending nearly made me punch my telly. I love how divided the opinion is on this, like you I think it was totally shite, but those who haven't said that it was mince have said it was really scary (which I can't see how!) and that it was really good. Why does no-one say that Spawn was brilliant? That was equally shit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemjsim Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Law Abiding Citizen - 6/10 The first 2/3's of the film was really good but the final 1/3 was crap. I was sitting wondering why a DA was running around with the cops and helping arrest folk (I know it's just a movie but it bug's me). Pandorum - 6/10 Ok sci fi film figured some stuff out pretty quickly. Not the worst I have seen. As for Paranormal Activity, as far as I heard there are 3 endings to the film. 1 - A body goes flying towards the camera and the lassie is not found. 2 - Lassie comes back upstairs and sits rocking till the cops come and shoot her. 3 - She comes back to the room and smiles at the camera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I don't see how anyone could have found Paranormal Activity scary. The advertisement of it seemed to suggest that it was going to be jumpy as hell, but there was not one moment in the film that I flinched at, never mind jump out my seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
