Half A Person Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Ghostbusters 8/10 The script is still funny and fresh (though the special effects are very poor). Bill Murray steals the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Saw the "Dark Knight" at the IMAX...have to say, the IMAX scenes are jaw droppingly good. That aside, it is a tremendous movie, I disagree with others in that it's too long. Ledger and Oldman were both superb in their depictions. For an "action" movie, I didn't even do my usual and quibble about the script and action ignoring science because...it didn't! It's light years away from the Clooney shite. I haven't enjoyed a film as much in a long time 8.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyMack Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 There Will Be Blood. It's like ordering the Surf & Turf but not realising the other courses are included. 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans_Husband Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Flightplan Decided to watch it on TV last night. Such a far fetched plot you've really got to wonder why they bothered. You keep hoping it's going to be interesting when the explanation of what's going on kicks in but it's plain (pardon the pun) ridiculous. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I watched that as well, a 4/10 for me. Eurotrip was an after it which was not bad, a few laughs here and there and the odd bit of female flesh made it a 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juninho Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Eurotrip was an after it which was not bad, a few laughs here and there and the odd bit of female flesh made it a 6/10 Didn't watch it however having seen if before I agree. I suppose it would appeal to North America and their expectations/stereotypes of the Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Broken (2006/III) A film about a woman chained up in the woods by a lunatic, which claims to be along the lines of Hostel and Saw, but really isn't. The woman is the most annoying person in the history of horror films, and she stays with him for 47 days at the end of which he must have thought of topping himself. However after she escapes, she kills the guy and finds her daughter only for the booby trap in the hut where the girl was kept to go off and for nails to fly out and kill her in a brilliantly painful death. The last thing that happens makes up for 85 minutes of annoying bitch. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Serpico - 10/10 No need to explain! The Untouchables - 10/10 As above Narc - 9/10 Never gonna be a classic but still a brilliant film! IMDB users rate The Dark Night as the Best of the Top 250 list of all time. Not saw it yet but a superhero film compared to the Godfather and Shawshank Redemption, surely this is just the publicity this film has gathered as it was Heath Ledger's last. Not saying it won't be brilliant but the best EVER, highly unlikely IMO! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I saw The Dark Knight last night at a sold out Cineworld and it was fantastic. I have never seen any of the Batman films before but everything positive people have said before about this film is true. It was very sinister in parts with Ledger playing the manic Joker to a very high standard. I thought he was outstanding in the film and brought some real laugh out loud moments even though at times you wondered if you should be laughing at all! The double crossing and plot twists turn the story on its head but they are believable because of the characters involved in them. The stunts and action scenes are excellent as well. Just really, really good! At well over 2 hours long I had wondered if they had enough to drag the story out for so long but I didn't even notice the film being as long as this. Time flew by. Easily an 8/10 at least. I will be going to see it again with the other half and I wouldn't be surprised if I am as impressed second time round. Will be getting this when it comes out on DVD. Great stuff! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Last night, I also went to see the new Batman movie. Having been a fan of Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker, I was sceptical of how much better Heath Ledger could do. All the death publicity made me even more scepticl due to the fact that it would have likely overrated the film in people's eyes. However, I thought the film was excellent. High profile cast who put in the performances to match their reputations, big budget, good story, good setting and good characters. Heath Ledger's performance was truly outstanding, overshadowing good performances from mostly everyone else. 1 small criticism is that there are so many characters to get to know, but I suppose the running time makes up for that. I didn't get restless at any point. I give it a firm 9/10. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that its now over and I won't be able to see it for the 1st time again, it was that good!

KnightswoodBear Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well, at least the Batman franchaise has managed to redeem itself from the truly awful efforts during the 90's. This pleases me. I still think that Batman and Robin is the high water mark in the series. Sure Ledgers' Joker is almost note perfect, but where's the one liners? "You're not taking me to da cooler!" I mean, TDK just takes itself far to seriously. Also I didn't see any Bat Credit Card holder on the new suit, and I definetely didn't see any ice skates. Very disappointing. Oh, and where were the nipples on the Batsuit?!!!! Must try harder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
