DomDom Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I love the bit in 12 Angry Men when the guy shouts "I'M GONNA KILL YOU !!!" and Fonda just says "you don't really mean that, do you ?". It's just such a terrific movie though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi-Ulster Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Coach Carter - 7/10. It is a decent movie but it is too predictable. District 13 - 9/10. The action sences are just awsome. It is wonderfully choreographed. The parkour sence are outstanding aswell. Edited July 27, 2010 by Livi-Ulster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pol Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) The Karate Kid (2010) Went on Sunday night to see the previews and it was breathtaking!! Jaden Smith was tremendous in it - he really has the potential to be a better actor than his father Will. Jackie Chan was superb as Mr Han. Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) is a 12-year-old living in Detroit when his widowed mother gets a job in China. Once in China, Dre misses home and wants to go back to the US. His mother tells him that China is home now, and he must learn to accept his new home. Dre begins to like China when he falls for his classmate Mei Ying (Wenwen Han). Dre's feelings for Mei Ying are seen by Cheng (Zhenwei Wang) the class bully who is out to stop it. Cheng puts Dre to the ground with ease using his Kung Fu training. Dre doesn't have a chance using the little karate that he knows, and Cheng proves it the next time he sees Dre. Dre is getting beaten badly when Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) the maintenance man, secretly a Kung Fu Master, stops the fight. Dre and Mr Han visit the school of Kung Fu Cheng attends to confront his master and tell of his attack. The master then gives Mr Han an ultimatum as they leave - one of you fight, the boy (against Cheng) or you (against Cheng's master). Mr Han then proposes Dre competes at a Kung Fu championships on the condition the Kung Fu students leave Dre whilst he trains, which the master accepts. Now Mr Han, who originally refused to teach Dre Kung Fu, is doing so. The scenes of Mr Han training Dre are heartwarming yet funny at times. However, as soon as the proposal of the competition is accepted you know exactly what is going to happen. Also, both actors done their own stunts and Jaden went through a vigorous Kung Fu course in order to do the film without a stunt double. I'd give The Karate Kid (2010) a rating of 8 out of 10. It would have easily got a 9 or higher had the film not been so predictable in the ending and the way it happened Edited July 28, 2010 by Pol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just watched Copland. I know we all slag off Stallone, but he is truly immense in this movie. Great cast, great story, although it does slow down a wee bit in the middle, but overall a really good film. Good to see Ray Liotta playing Henry Hill on drugs again as well. He has mastered that role. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Blue velvet, was on the telly the other night, the scene with Dennis Hopper and Isabella Rossellini in the flat is still the most disturbing piece of film ever made, and I've seen some dodgy shit. If you've never seen it I strongly recommend you get hold of a copy asap, you will not be dissapointed. 9.5/10 (nothing will ever get a 10) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Went to see The A-Team tonight. It's not going to win any awards. It's not going to go down as a brilliant film. But as a sheer, leave-your-brain-at-home action film, it's one of the most fun films I've seen in ages. I had a beaming smile on my face from start to finish.

the jambo-rocker Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I hope they serve beer in hell 55% Apparently this was adapted from a novel which like most films was never as good on the big screen. Still had it's moments and one-liners that had me interested enough. Might give the book a look. Daybreakers 74% This had the potential to be a classic, about a world of vampires that live through a human civilization, only blood is running out as the humans are an endangered species. It was good for the reasons that it was a brilliantly innovative and fresh plot put forward but it was quite simply let down by poor characterization of some of supporting actors, which i thought at times some where used just to move the plot along without serving much depth to the story(Hawkes's brother, Neil's daughter). Still, it's one of those movies I'd recommend seeing, for it did have it's moments of suspense, gore and none of this teenage vampire pish that you would see get from shite like twilight or the vampire diaries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Went to see The A-Team last night, and as others have said it's good, mindless fun. Face and Murdock were the best of the 4, but Hannibal and B.A were pretty good too. And I did like the incredibly nerdy nod to original Murdoch Dwight Schultz. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlue62 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) The A-Team Thought this was an excellent film. Murdoch was superb. The Braveheart part was just class. Only thing I noticed wrong with it was one of these swapping moments. In one scene when they were escaping with Murdoch in the Jeep and got their tire shot it was the back left, then when they arrived at the army plane it showed it as the back right tire that was sparking. Just me? I dunno. 9/10 Edited July 29, 2010 by DarkBlue62 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyTON Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Year One - 2/10 Just awful - No real desire to watch it but thought WTF Was hoping for some pineapple Express style stupidity but ended up more like 90mins of scary movie style fart and gay jokes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The A-Team What was the point in this film? I don't understand why so many sequels and re-makes of classics are made these days and basically just absolutely pumped full of CGI, almost making events unrecognisable. There also seems to be a need to make absolutely everything a sloud as possible. Flying tanks? A plot? f**k right off. I just wanted it to end. 0/10 That was one of the best bits of the film! It was just so cheesy/unreal that it was funny to watch. Fair enough, you've given it a 0/10...but what were you REALLY expecting? Oscar performances? It's the A-Team ffs...it was always going to be OTT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's the A-Team ffs...it was always going to be OTT Exactly what I was thinking. It'd have been like me watching Wanted and thinking "THIS BETTER BE ULTRA REALISTIC~~~!!!111". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Toy Story 3 Awesome. Was a bit bored in parts but that's to be expected with me being 20 and the film being for kids. However some of it was genuinely laugh at loud stuff, and I'll admit although I didn't cry at the end I was glad for the 3D glasses as my lip was wobbling a tad at the end. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi-Ulster Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Fight Club - 9.5/10. It is just a brilliant movie and one of the best films I have ever saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
