McB Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Wimbledon Moronic chick flick. But as I'm a moronic chick I quite enjoyed it 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Inside Man. It's directed by Spike Lee and starts Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster among others and is an interesting heist movie. I suppose it was kind of formulaic as these things go, but I thought it was well done. Interesting twist and the way the reason for the robbery is explored was quite good. Perhaps a little bit of differing structure could have improved the film, but enjoyable and recommended. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super J's Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) The Inside Man 7/10 The taxi journey in the pissing rain home was not as enjoyable...and even worse was the fare Edited March 26, 2006 by Super J's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blonde Saint Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 The Aviator. 7/10. The disappointing ending let down what was actually a good film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoppeReid Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Green Street - 7/10, much better than football factory. Aeonflux - 4/10, would have been 1/10 if not for Charlize Theron looking really hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I watched most of American Pie last night. One thing that struck me was how soppy the ending is. The guy with the curtains who pulls the lassie from the choir and the one with the girlfriend who finally gets to shag her, fucking hell what a pair of wet blankets. You've pulled a nice wee burd - get her pumped you idiots! Thankfully Chris ( ) makes up for it with the funniest bit in the film when he pulls Stiflers Mom on the pool table, very funny. "What do you drink?" "Scotch, aged 18 years. Just how I like it" It probably reflects the fact that you can't have a 'sex' based film, even a supposed gross-out comedy, in the states without a 'romantic' sub-plot for the laydeez. Either that or portraying sex for the sake of sex or casual, no-strings sex without the 'counterbalance' of involved sex is too much for the states. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Batman Begins Even Christian Bale couldnt save this one. Predictable, pedestrian fare with nothing to get excited about. 1 thumb up, and only cause of Bales presence Resident Evil 2 Even Milla Jovovich couldnt save this one. Predictable, pedestrian fare with nothing to get excited about. 1 thumb up, and only cause of Millas presence What a great morning that was Edited March 27, 2006 by andycqos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarreZ Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The graftenberg spot, was totally disgusted that the Traci Lords scene had been edited out, it was the best part of the movie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroongoon Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Chicken Little. I can't remember the last film I saw at the pictures which was n't a U certificate! Better than Magic Roundabout, but not a patch on Madagascar! Plot kind of based on the children's tale. Usual computer generated cute animal characters. More or less usual unpopular kids win out kind of theme. no more than 5/10. harmless family fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Recent movies watched...(no spoilers as usual) Irreversible...2 of the most violent scenes ever committed to film and really shocking, even to me. Gaspar Noe's direction is pretty wacky but makes sense. I wouldn't watch it again though...5/10, interesting direction and good, not great acting in demanding circumstances but be warned, it's fucking gruesome. A BBT double bill... Bad Santa...couldn't quite make my mind up as to the point of the movie...not enough comedic bits and Billy Bob Thornton's character was such an arsehole that he didn't deserve any redemption...4/10 The Man Who Wasn't There...BBT again, shot in magnificently steely, beautifully lit B&W. Slowly paced, with a good cast of actors...6/10 Edited May 25, 2008 by Frank Booth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Butterfly Effect - 8/10 Original ending or alternate ending? The alternate ending is a bit more dramtic, the original ending just allows the movie to fizzle out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyde til we die Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Airplane 2, still as funny as feck, not as good as the first one but still gets an 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 More or less shocking than I Spit on your Grave or Deliverance? More so....two scenes. One scene is a lingering shot of a sickeningly realistic assault with a fire extinguisher...the other is a 9 minute long rape scene filmed with one low mounted camera, continuously shooting, no edits. I don't want to give too much away incase anyone does see it, as I would act regarding any other film I mentioned on here, however you can read all about it on the imdb website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Saw 2 films last week, one in the flicks, one on DVD Syriana - Gripping enough, and good performances from Clooney amonst others, but didn't really go anywhere, and without giving anything away, it seemed to say nothing more than "America is corrupt". Well duh! 6/10 Beneath the Planet of the Apes - Not a patch on the first one, just a bit too silly with telepathic humans who worship a big bomb. But ye know, talking apes, you can't go wrong. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Lucky number Slevin Entertaining enough, really cool set design though and I really like Lucy Liu (plus she got to play a cool character called Lindsey ) Josh HArtnett is a minus though. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 More or less shocking than I Spit on your Grave or Deliverance? Just about the worst thing I have witnessed on film. I can deal with gore and the like but one scene in particular is pretty distressing. I didn't know what it was about and only watched it becuase Monica Belucci was in it. She is a real woman. Boy, the things I've thought about doing to her. Not after watching this though I've been watching some amount of shite recently. I sat down and watched Bride and Prejudice at the weekend while steamboats. After that I endured AVP. I'd give Bride and P a 3/10 for the tasty bird in it and AVP gets a 3/10 as well as I thought I'd enjoy it more whilst rubbered. I didn't. A nice bit of skirt might have made it more watchable. That's got me thinking. I'm off to my blog to discuss my favourite good looking actresses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
