ICTChris Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I watched Downfall last night, excellent film. Obviously I wasn't there but I think it captured what it must have been like in Berlin in 1945 - a mixture of lunacy, hedonism, depression and fear. Ganz was amazing as Hitler and I thought the female characters were all excellently played as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganz was amazing as Hitler and I thought the female characters were all excellently played as well. I've read one of the books (Inside Hitler's Bunker IIRC) Downfall is based on and it truely is scary how an already insane man can decend into abject lunacy. Gutted that I missed it because if it's half as good as the book then it would be an important watch. Now it's been on the telly I would imagine it's going cheap in the shops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rover n out Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I watched "Downfall" last night and was very surprised at how good it was, the actor play the role of Hitler was excellent. Followed that up with "Serenity" by Joss Whedon which was pretty good too. Downfall 9/10 Serenity 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesieboy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Has anyone seen Hotel Rwanda. It's absolutely brilliant and tell life as it really was a few years ago in that country. Real life situation about real life events - not a wee made up story. Fact beats fiction anyday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. F'king magic! I have never been a huge fan of Val Kilmer or Robert Downey but their on screen chemisstry in this is fantastic. Kilmer is even funny at times. Bit of a daft plot to be honest, but that was secondary. Dont give up your gay job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I saw the Dawn of the Dead remake last night and was remarkably surprised at how good it was. Zombies are far more effective when they are running at you at top speed. I reckon 7/10. Stewarty, do you want this one, or will I take it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a daft plot to be honest, but that was secondary. Dont give up your gay job. That's a class movie. Stewarty, do you want this one, or will I take it? I'll join in. 7/10 I wouldn't give it 7/10,000 There should be a rule that only George A Romero should be allowed to make zombie movies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Hmmm...... The Weather Man. Michael Caine amd Nicholas Cage were quite funny together. Still, not a great film. Wrestling With Shadows - Bret Hart's own pespective. I dont agree with him. Good film though. Edited March 4, 2006 by bairnagain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Madagascar 5/10 Not as good as I'd been led to believe, not enough of the Penguins for my liking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Planet of the Apes. The original version. It is both hilarious and dramatic, and the soundtrack is fantastic. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Booth Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) The Machinist. Slowly paced, creepy, fantastic acting from Christian Bale and the weight he lost for the role is truly incredible. 8/10 Edited March 5, 2006 by Frank Booth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation 1/10 Utter, utter pish. As a review on IMDB says "And that's a good hour and 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back... Thanks...... This movie was quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Went to see Syriana last night. It was great to go the cinema and see a film that actually credited it's audience with a bit of intelligence. Really enjoyed it if the ending was a rather depressing vision to take away with you. George Clooney was excellent. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half A Person Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just Watched The Perfect Catch. the American version of Fever Pitch and to be honest it was gash. But then, it was a Farrelly Brothers film. Cheesy shite. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Comeonthelads Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Watched Crash and The Island last night. Crash was absolutley top quality, probably one of the best films i've seen. Really good plot and very intense throughout. Haven't seen the other nominees for the oscars but it would have had to been awesome to beat this. Verdict 9/10 The Island is the one with Ewan McGregor and Scarlet Johannson. Worth a watch, not quite as good as Crash but still very good. Quite a bit of action and of course Scarlet. Verdict 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
