Gaz Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I Am LegendWell, I can find worse ways to spend my nights. Will Smith is pretty badly underrated, and proves it again here. It basically does everything you could want from a blockbuster. Some good visuals, some good heartstring tugging stuff and a couple of plot twists to keep you going. It basically is just another blockbuster I suppose, but it's another good one. 7/10 Where did you see it mate? Thought it wasn't out over here until Boxing Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBairn Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Where did you see it mate? Thought it wasn't out over here until Boxing Day. I downloaded a DVD screener. Im having problems getting it to play on my DVD player (I think nero has been the issue) but it works perfectly on my PC Going to watch it tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Howling II: ...Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985) 3/10 Point extra for Christopher Lee saving it, and another one for the exploding dwarf!

Savage Henry Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Notes on a Scandal. Masterclass in superlative acting by Judy Dench. Edgy to the point of being uncomfortable viewing. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Muppets Christmas Carol. Michael Caine is brilliant in it, playing Scrooge totally straight (fnarr fnarr). Best line "Why, it's old Fezziwig's rubber chicken factory!" 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) I Am Legend 6/10 It was alright I suppose, but nothing great. EDIT - www.quicksilverscreen.com is where I watched it. It's on it a few times but only one of them is good quality and I can't remember which one.

Half A Person Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Muppets Christmas Carol.Michael Caine is brilliant in it, playing Scrooge totally straight (fnarr fnarr). Best line "Why, it's old Fezziwig's rubber chicken factory!" 8/10 I watched the animated version from a few years back 'starring' the voice of Kate Winslet. FUCKING PISH. 0/10 The animation is SHIT, the voices are SHIT and for some reason,( I imagine to make it more child-friendly) they added in a pair of cheeky cartoon mice which totally distract from the story. I also deem those mice SHIT. It's a classic tale of redemption and the bit when Scrooge realises the error of his ways and gets Christmas in his heart is meant to be this amazing joyful scene. However, in this version, it's totally dragged out and anti-climatic. SHIT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Where did you see it mate? Thought it wasn't out over here until Boxing Day. As mentioned, there is a cracking DVD screener kicking about and that's what I got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest As far as I can tell, nothing of note happened in this movie. At least with the first one, you had a great sense of satisfaction from it. This time ... nothing. Just a bunch of fighting amongst each other and a storyline that goes absolutely nowhere. No doubt that the final movie will put that to rest, but this is just not worth your time. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that the final movie will put that to rest, but this is just not worth your time. 3/10 I couldn't be bothered with this one as I thought the first one was a long tedious movie which I lost interest in after about an hour and was amazed to find it it still had 90 mins left. I think it's on the telly tonight or tomorrow, thankfully I'll be busy so the telly won't be on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstoun Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I really enjoyed the first Pirates movie, but thought the second was a bit crap. Watched Casino Royale last night. Solid 7/10, Daniel Craig is a very good Bond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanaldinho Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I really enjoyed the first Pirates movie, but thought the second was a bit crap. Me too. I can't even remember anything of note happening in the 2nd one, and the 3rd could be quite confusing at times with a plot that didn't really go anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Bulletproof Monk (2003) 7/10 I loved this film, great wee story and Jaime King is gorgeous! Not getting the classic marks but as good a rating as a Hollywood family film will ever get from me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Pirates of the Caribbean : At World's End This movie had pretty simple goals. Wrap everything up. What they do is make things even more convulted, add more idiotic plots and generally kill every bit of charm that the movies had left. The main sufferer is Cpt. Jack Sparrow, who was terrific in movie one, even likeable, and now, he's a complete p***k. Johnny Depp does his best, but wow, he's been badly treated. Some nice visuals gain the movie a single solitary point. This is the worst movie of the three by a long way. 1/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I went to see I Am Legend tonight. A great performance by Will Smith, great film all round. The scene where he had to kill Sam as she had been bitten nearly had me in tears. I'd give it an 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Just back from The Simpsons Movie in Roppongi. It's like an extended version of a so-so episode. A nice way to spend the evening, but pretty brainless and lacking the parody qualities of the TV show from the mid period series. I laughed out loud four times, which is pretty good for a comedy, so 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engaging enough - but 28 Days Later is much more real, visceral and brutal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a decent extended episode - it loses the plot a bit at the end but there are a few top notch moments. Probably loses a full point thanks to Spiderpig becoming a cultural phenomenon. It's quite possibly the nadir of "random" culture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Black Christmas The original. Never seen the remake. This movie doesn't make me wanna see it either. Not that it's bad. It's just not very good. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he can't, he's a pig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
