Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Captain America 3D. Really enjoyed it and I'm not usually one for comic book films. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Nup, the Eddie Norton one is the Avengers-related one. But they recast him Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. I wish they had kept Eddie Norton as the hulk in this one Watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as a few people here recommended it, would have to say it was very good and now im going to recommend it. Also the girl who plays Harmony is lovely. ^^^^^^^^ As I keep saying Edited April 24, 2012 by the jambo-rocker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 JFK - 8/10. Was FAR, FAR too long. I drifted in and out of this flick something fierce. But the parts where I was paying attention were really good. It might've helped that I'm fascinated by the JFK assassination. Solid cast who all delivered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 ^^^^^^^^ As I keep saying Which part, that the film is really good or that the girl is lovely? Either way you appear to have good taste. I may have to check out any other films you recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to check out any other films you recommend. Both. Kilmar and Downey Jr. playing off each other, Latin-American Joe Pesci and obviously Michelle Monaghan's knockers. Steady now, you'll make me blush! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a top quality movie. I'm a huge mark for Robert Downey Jr. though. Which makes my huge dislike for Iron Man 2 all the more disturbing. That movie has to be the worst kind of shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) A Room For Romeo Brass Another top film from Shane Meadows and a must for anyone who enjoyed This Is England or Dead Man's Shoes. Paddy Considine is excellent in it. 9/10 Edited April 26, 2012 by Bert Raccoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) I had previously given this 8/10, but have no idea why... whilst it looks really good, it's tedious nonsense about flying monks with nothing remotely interesting about it! 5/10 - as the fight scenes and the cinematography are good... but not worth the credit the Academy gave it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunfellaff Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) I had previously given this 8/10, but have no idea why... whilst it looks really good, it's tedious nonsense about flying monks with nothing remotely interesting about it! 5/10 - as the fight scenes and the cinematography are good... but not worth the credit the Academy gave it! I do recomend the one I reviewed on the last page ''The Warlords''. I didn't go into too much detail but it set during The Taiping Rebellion, and has great accuracy on the conflict without really mentioning what it was about, although it didn't even mention Western involvement. Fight scenes are stunning, plenty of court politics and Jet Li just looks like someone you wouldn't feck with. It happenened in the same timeframe as the American Civil War, so similar firearms, artillery etc are used, and the trench warfare is reminicant of WW1 movies. Subtitled and not dubbed, it beats Cruching Tiger all ends up. without fliying on wires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Captain America: The First Avenger ( 2011 ) Rather inoffensive fare really. Not anything I'm going to be raving about even in a couple of days, but it did the job of entertaining me while it was on. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Captain America 3/10 Utter Utter Rubbish. Just didn't enjoy it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldon.icg Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The last movie I watched was mission impossible ghost protocol. 7/10 Edited April 25, 2012 by sheldon.icg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The Eclipse (2009) Horror writer comes to Cobh for a writing convention. Someone sees a ghost. An old man dies. Nothing else happens. Okay, it's only the second Irish horror I've seen, but f**k me they are terrible at this! 3/10 - as a drama it was okay, but seriously FUCK ALL happens! I watched an Irish horror flick the other day (name escapes me, but it was from the 'Hammer' series I think). That was shite too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Watched a couple last night. An Education Wasn't really looking forward to this as normally the words "coming of age drama" fill me with dread but I was pleasantly surprised. The fact it had Carey Mulligan in the main role certainly swung it for me. 7/10 Somers Town Another Shane Meadows film and as usual I was suitably impressed. A story about two teenage boys both needing friendship due to theree backgrounds and become an unlikely duo. What interested me about this was the fact it was funded by Eurostar and is loosely advertising the channel tunnel but I wouldn't say the advertising is noticeable. The only thing that disappointed me about this film is the fact it only last just over an hour but in fairness I don't think it really could've lasted much longer. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Salmon Fishing In The Yemen Something a bit different from Lasse Hallstrom, someone I think is one of the most underrated directors out there, but it's not his best work. Not to be taken seriously, otherwise I'd have just given up. It does get cringeworthy beyond belief! Great characters and chemistry between them, though. Nice to see Ewan McGregor in a role that plays to all his strengths. Kristen Scott-Thomas pulled the (often ridiculous) plot strings and provided her fair share the comic relief, but actually Oor Ewan made me chuckle the most as the posh, sarcastic, Scottish fish expert with a lot on his mind. As a film, the cons outweigh the pros, but it's excellent fun. Nowhere near Chocolat or What's Eating GIlbert Grape?, but by no means a disaster. Think my rating's generous, only beats a 5 because actually I had a good time watching it. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintax Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Why did you watch it then? Wanted to see what all the fuss was about, should have known better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The Human Centipede 0/10 was bloody horrific felt sick watching it. I would perhaps suggest giving the sequal a miss. It's even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Downfall or Der Untergang if you will..... It's a film about the final ten days of Adolf Hitler's reign of Nazi Germany in 1945, in German (of course) with English subtitles and was filmed in 2004. This film is outstanding, I love reading about this sort of stuff and especially Hitler so I loved this. The acting is brilliant and it's just gives you an insight to what actually happened. A must watch!. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I would perhaps suggest giving the sequal a miss. It's even worse. The first one is a masterpiece compared with that shite! It's definitely the worst film I've ever seen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
