Savage Henry Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 American Gangster - at nearly three hours it requires a bit of patience, and it's not as pacy as some might like, but I thought it was interesting and exciting. I tended to have more interest in the police/detective thriller element than the drug pushing movie, but I enjoyed it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Heres a link which I sometimes go on to get an idea whether a movie is gash or not before I watch it, obviously though opinions differ on which movies are shyte and which are not. http://imdb.com/ Never heard of it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayos Noun Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Most things involving Hoffman are bound to be good. Even if the movie itself is crap, he'll light the thing up. This particular movie is pretty good though.Anyways American Psycho Amazing performance from Christian Bale highlights this very good movie. 9/10 My favourite film. Bale is fantastic in this and every other film he's in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayBees Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Lonesome Jim There Will Be Blood was full last night so went with Lonesome Jim instead which was on as part of the Glasgow Film Festival. Directed by Steve Buscemi, Casey Affleck is excellent as the self-centered, depressive Jim and it's a very funny and watchable film when it could easily have been quite bleak. Especially funny when virtually he talks his brother in to attempting suicide. I was quite annoyed by the steady stream of late arrivals in the audience a full 15 minutes into the film. Also I heard some girl say afterwards "I didn't like the main character as much as the main character in Garden State". Well, thats because you're not meant to like him you stupid cow. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayBees Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Genius. Too many quality songs to mention. And of course The Big Suit. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The Good German - there's a thin line between homage and rip-off. This is a modern take on the 1940s war movies, directed by Steven Soderberg, who usually I can't stand. It's okay, although the plot runs extremely similarly to Pi, and I lost the story a bit towards the end. Enjoyable, and well acted. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Cloverfield 4/10 (i wanted all the characters to be killed within 10 mins, especially the dick with the camera) They should have put that on the poster would have saved me leaving my warm hoose and going to see this pish camera man is my most hated movie character of all time followed by his self absorbed mate who went running across the city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Went to see There Will Be Blood yesterday. It was absolutely superb. Day-Lewis is incredible as ever, as is Paul Dano as the snivelling preacher boy. The interaction between them is perfect, leading up to the climax of the film. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McB Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) No Country For Old Men It took me a good minute or so to even begin to understand Tommy Lee Jones' character's accent, and the ending is somewhat abrupt, but otherwise excellent. Kelly MacDonald copes admirably with a role you'd probably be forgiven for thinking she'd been horrendously mis-cast in, and Javier Bardem was superb - surely a shoo-in for best supporting actor Oscar. (My boyfriend may not share my view, as there are several somewhat tense moments in the above film, and I am a great big wuss. I may have almost dislocated his left arm due to my hanging onto it. Ooops.) 8/10 Edited February 18, 2008 by LauraMcB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
