I feel like they could make a good Dr. Suess movie in that style, doing 3 or 4 of the shorter stories.

yea, it was pretty good. I'm not a fan of the romances, but it was ok. I don't think I rated it yet, so 8/10

Taking Woodstock: 7/10. It dragged a lot and I lost interest abut an hour and a half though. but I thought they did a good job showing how big it really was


Deathrace: 8.5/10: awesome movie. Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Loved the concept


Law Abiding Citizen: 9.5/10: Fucking unreal. I kind of was cheering on Butler's character through this whole thing. I loved his pyscology and how he just outsmarted everyone. Amazing how he planned everything out

Wasn't the concept of both of these movies the exact same, only one with cars and the other with video games?

Either way, Running Man did it first.

LOL exactly what I thought last night watching Gamer. I saw Deathrace like two days before. I thought Deathrace did it better. Gamer was just all over the place and fell asleep. Never saw Running man

It was just hard to follow.

Sherlock Holmes was just hard to follow and sort of sounded like the accents they used in Harry Potter.

Night and the City 7/10

An old film noir. A con man with delusions of grandeur goes to a professional wrestling show. The show is run by a man named Kristo, who has a stranglehold on the wrestling industry and is turning it into a spectacle. His father, Gregorious is ashamed at what is being done to wrestling. The con man sees an opportunity and begins a hustle to start his own wrestling promotion... earning him many enemies in the process.

[Droford]

The Final Destination - 5/10

I really liked the first one, but they've pretty much played the Final Destination formula to death. I think they put more thought into their death traps then the people with Saw did. Didnt get to see it in 3-d though.

K Pax — the one with Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey. Spacey's character thinks he is from a planet called K Pax, but is just mentally lost.

The King of Comedy - Kind of ashamed of myself for not watching this sooner. Dark and depressing, pretty funny too, in a kind of awkward way. It's eerie how relevant it is today, i'm assuming way more than it was in 1982. 9/10

[Jeritron]

Wolfman 7/10


I would imagine a lot will say this is shit. It's a cheesy monster feature, but that's what it should be.
I liked that it was set in 19th century England. The whole tone and atmosphere of the movie was great, and they did a slow build instead of overdoing the werewolf action and making it boring.

Really I'm just a sucker for werewolf movies and mythology, and it never seems to get as many go arounds as Vampires and Zombies and the rest of them.

The plot is kind of jumbled at times, but I appreciate that there was one. That's more than most modern horror flicks can say. There were actually multiple plot-lines going on, which is even more rare.

If you like monster movies, check it out.

[Loose Cannon]

Stepfather: 7/10

I never saw the originals, but I knew the whole theme. The opening scene in this was classic. very good way to start a movie. The rest of the movie was just the audience waiting for the stepfather to snap. The build to the ending was good. The ending was horrible though. It's like they had a great pace leading to the ending and then then zipped right through it. Also, I really wanted more of a backstory on the Stepfather. I wish we would of found out about him as a child, young adult and what led to him doing what he did.

[Kalyx triaD]

If Pan's Labyrinth turned out to be the girl day dreaming all along it would have got 5/5 from me. But the 'milk doll' scene crosses the Faun and rebel plots, making an ending like that impossible. Good movie, though.

[XL]

Why would the "It Was All A Dream" outcome - which is usually seen as quite the cop-out - make the film better for you Kalyx?

[Kalyx triaD]

For me it would sell the psychological issues I'd associate to a girl living the life she was forced to. That the whole faun ordeal was her way of escaping the fact that her step father was a mad man, her mother was ill, and she had nobody (save Mercedes) to relate to.

ha, this one totally backfired on my wife. she thought it was going to be a nice gay romantic movie, but it was a lot more of a supernatural type thing mixed with Romance. she hated it. I thought it was fine. whatever.


Tringle: 5/10

This is a horror film with a little bit of a mind fuck involved. Basically the main character relives the same thing over and over. And it takes place in the Bermuda Triangle. It's ok if you have time to kill.


The Collector: 10/10

Woah, what the fuck. Didn't expect this at all. I am a fan of the sick horror movies and all, but this one was pretty disturbing. It had me on the edge on my seat and freaked out for the entire movie. The character could really be the next new horror icon, but I read it preformed terrible in the box office. But if you like the gore and the horror films that just make you very uncomfortable and have your heart racing, see this one.

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever 1/10

hahaha lol. incredible. if you like cheesy B movie type horror, then get this. The blurb on the back of the movie is so fucked because it's not the movie at all. It says "3 days after the flesh eating virus killed his friends, Paul (from Cabin Fever 1) sets out to warn a near by high school of the dangerous virus." Or something to that effect. So the movie starts with Paul waking up in the forest where he had been since the 1st movie and then like within 2 minutes he is killed by a passing school bus. ROFL WHAT???? So the whole movie just shifts to the school and the virus is already there. And you can figure out the rest.


Carriers: 7/10

This was alright. It's pretty much your standard virus attacks the world and the survivors are trying to get somewhere to find a cure or a safe zone. There's no zombies or anything, but the main characters run into the infected people along the way and what not. worth a watch I guess


Circle of Eight: 2/10

meh, the concept was cool and I didn't even figure it out until I read it online after I watched the movie, but it's real cheesy. There's a lesbian sex scene in this though that's just thrown in the movie without any purpose at all. The two girls aren't even in the movie after the scene. lol

If I didn't know a little more about English history than Mel Gibson, I'd probably have given it 8 or 9 out of 10.

It isn't supposed to be a historically accurate movie, nor did he ever claim it was. In fact, he has specifically said the movie was not supposed to be accurate, and is supposed to be just a 'cinematically compelling' film.

Which is what it is. You've got no eye for quality entertainment, and I will stand by those words all the way to my grave. :mad: Braveheart is quite possibly the only film whose honor I would ever defend to my death.

It is a story of epic proportions, which had incredible cinematography for when it was made. You expected a historically accurate film from a movie that you should have known would have very little. It's been out since fucking 1995.. and it's taken you this long to see it? Surely you knew something about it going into it.. It's fucking Braveheart. I realize you're not from the States.. but it's Braveheart.

Pretty baffled by this right now. What other movies do you like? This makes me think you have horrible taste in everything now, because it makes me think you watch movies for completely wrong reasons.

You do watch Comedies to laugh, right? You sound like someone who might watch them just to point out all the jokes that weren't funny.

[ct2k]

Honestly got no idea how I managed to last this long without seeing it tbh

[ct2k]

Also seriously stfu. It is a film about William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Edward I and Edward II. Those were real people, very famous and important people in English and Scottish history. I feel perfectly entitled to expect some accuracy from it if it isn't a film based around a fictional character and events which are expressly stated as being fictional like say Gladiator. Jesus.

[thedamndest]

I tried to watch Braveheart when it first came to VHS. Fell asleep because I was 11 and started watching it at like 3:00 a.m. I have since discovered that Mel Gibson is beheaded so there is no need to watch the film.

[Requiem]

Horrible comparison to strengthen your 'point'. Gladiator had real people and real 'surrounding events' as well. No difference at all, except that the main character of Braveheart was a real person. In Gladiator, he killed fucking Caesar. A Caesar whose character was very much based on the real person he was portraying. Following a Caesar who was also a real person, at the end of a war that really happened. How is that not a historical inaccuracy in a movie with real people and real events?

The fact of the matter is... you expected historical accuracy out of a movie which you SHOULD have known had none, because it is from 19-freaking-95 and is a well known movie. It won countless awards, regardless of the inaccuracies, BECAUSE it wasn't touting itself as a history film. If you went into the movie thinking that it would be a historically accurate depiction of what happened, and not 'an epic tale of revenge and romance', then you deserve to be disappointed by it.

[ct2k]

Gladiator was a film about a guy who never existed, spliced into a period of 'real' history. Braveheart is a film about a guy who did exist, only the historical events and characters have been doctored, it really isn't the same thing at all.

[ct2k]

Anyway why the hell are we even arguing about this. I like the damn film, I just wasn't inspired to go and kill Englishmen because of it.

[Requiem]

We are arguing because anything less than a 9/10 is insulting to the quality of this film. It should only lose 1 point at most for the imperfections such as historical inaccuracies, because besides that, the movie is a shining example of what a film should be.

[Requiem]

Gladiator was a film about a guy who never existed, spliced into a period of 'real' history. Braveheart is a film about a guy who did exist, only the historical events and characters have been doctored, it really isn't the same thing at all.

And what.. because it alters history with a fake character as opposed to altering history with a real character, it is somehow different?

The comparisons are the exact same premise, simply one MAIN character is real, and the other is not. The surrounding cast of each were all real people as well, as were the events/world surrounding the things that happened in each.

Alice In Wonderland - 8/10

Johnny Depp is awesome as Mad hatter and all but its not as amazing as some people are saying it is. Still a movie that is worth seeing especially in 3D.

[Droford]

The Box: 6/10

I enjoyed it, but honestly, I never understood what this whole thing was about. Anybody care to explain. Like it was a good thriller, but I was just waiting and waiting to go... "oh, I see now" and yea, that never happened. Like I understood the whole box thing was a test and everything but for what???

Its based on a Twilight Zone Episode (Button, Button) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button,_Button_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29) which was based on a short story. Never read the short story but the Twilight Zone ep is awesome.

Alice in Wonderland - 6/10 Really underwhelmed by this movie. If it weren't for 3D or IMAX this would be a huge bust.

Zombieland - 8/10 I liked the format of the movie, but the ending didn't do much for me.

[OssMan]

300 is historically inaccurate too http://pages.infinit.net/zelda/linkcouchenoir.jpg

[ct2k]

And what.. because it alters history with a fake character as opposed to altering history with a real character, it is somehow different?

The comparisons are the exact same premise, simply one MAIN character is real, and the other is not. The surrounding cast of each were all real people as well, as were the events/world surrounding the things that happened in each.


Aurelius, Commodus and Lucilla were all real. As far as I am aware everyone and everything else in Gladiator is a composite of a huge array of people, places, events and entirely made up facts which have been put together in order to create a fictional story which only vaguely pertains to any real chain of events, if any, and is in no way a representation of history 'as it happened'. That is why I see a distinction.

Now seriously, can you get over me not wanting to stick my tongue in Mel Gibson's anus?

[ClockShot]

The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day - 3.5/5

For a sequel to a cult classic, it wasn't that bad. But I think Duffy had some shitty microphones on hand. I was adjusting my volume every few minutes. That or my TV is on the fritz.

[thedamndest]

The Hurt Locker - I don't think I hated this as much as Triple A did, but it was pretty bad. Felt completely unrealistic and I did not care about the main character at all. Would rather have watched Lethal Weapon again. 4/10.

[Loose Cannon]

With Alice and Wonderland, you should know if you're going to like it or not. I'm assuming it's the same exact story as the original, correct? It's my fav Disney movie next to Aladin

[thedamndest]

It's not the same story. Alice returns to Wonderland in this. I'm guessing Burton did this to make it more Johnny Depp-centric. Haven't seen it though so I don't know if that is correct.

ah, nevermind then.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull: 3 out of 5 stars. Ok, not great. If you just watch for fun, it is a decent rental.

[Schlomey]

I truly thought the new Indiana Jones was shite. Sad really.

[Jeritron]

On it's worst day it couldn't be nearly as sad as 99% of modern action movies. Honestly thought it was just about what it should be. Indiana Jones movies are supposed to be pulp fun. I wouldn't put it on par with Raiders or Last Crusade, but it was as good as Temple Of Doom.

IMHO, personally anyways, in my view, that's just my 2 cents

Ahahaha, you're doing this on purpose now aren't you

Also, Body of Lies - 6/10. Could have been so much better. Leo and Crowe are fine but the film needs...more. Dunno, feels like they were relying too much on people wanting to see the leads and forgot to write a better script. Still perfectly watchable and engaging, just could have been a lot more.

Alice in Wonderland - 4.5/5

No. I really liked Part 3. Liked it better than part 2, but not better than the first. First one is classic.

[Loose Cannon]

Part 3 is a good movie. Soooo much better then 2. But it's one of those nostalgic movies where you either love it or hate it. I love it. I need to get all the Karate Kids on DVD. dunno how I don't have them yet. Cobra Kai 4 Life

[Jon Kano]

Part III was awesome, except the ending, fucking god awful ending/move to finish it.

Did like the character of Mr. Silver though.

Much better than part II.

Oh, let me guess, it's a bible (bullshit) or religious (ridiculous) film? For fucks sake watch something normal like Die Hard or some shit, jesus fucking christ.
(I am aware of the high possibility that it is a film about neither. However I reserved the right to make that remark at this point in time knowing I may need to refer to it in the future)

I tend to get that from people who like think about what a film student should know or have heard about.

[Jeritron]

Just seems like someone who is moderately interested in film would have heard something about a movie that was nominated for umpteen Academy Awards and a huge hit at film festivals all year

[Jeritron]

I bet Goldust has heard of Precious

[Jon Kano]

I study film, I work in film, I love film. What I take in lately and keep my eye on is not what is always what people at the Academy are.

And yeah I heard of it, like the title, but know nothing about it.

Law Abiding Citizen 3/10 - terrible concept for a movie AND it was probably the most predictable movie Ive ever seen in my life.

[PorkSoda]

Kano, you work in film, what do you do?

[Jon Kano]

Kano, you work in film, what do you do?

As far as actually being paid for what I do...I make DVD covers, posters, website graphics, logos and anything they want me to. 'They' are a production company I have worked with in the past for free as a runner on set of various productions they operate themselves or for or with other companies. I have been doing the graphic stuff freelance for 2 years. The stuff on set and helping them with their 'film' products I have been doing since 2004.

They have allowed me to kinda be basically part of their staff, I get to do as much as I want, I get a lot of contacts and meet new people in the business every now and then. And I have a contact at the UK Film council who sends me good tips, places and people to try and get myself out there more. When I first worked for them, I met Alan Moore which was awesome. At the time I didn't even know he lived in my town.

Anyway...

Blade II - 10/10. First one sucked, this one was awesome.

I'm halfway through Enter The Dragon....its decent so far.

[Jon Kano]

I was kinda hoping Kano was a scriptwriter.

I have been writing my own scripts since late 2002, and while I was at uni and working for all these companies. I do my best to 'get my stuff' seen and meet the right people whenever I network with the companies I with with and for.

It's pretty hard not being in London or somewhere we I can get to a decent position, but I couldn't live there anyway.

The woman I know at the UK Film council, I first met her when she saw my stuff and asked me to write scenes for a film they were making with Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead). I gave it a go, but they chose someone elses work and every now and then she gives me other ops like that.

But yinno, I'm happy doing my own stuff, just writing, working for those guys and doing what I'm doing. Sounds bit ghey, but I am just happy to be part of whatever I can get my hands on.

But her voice in the movie was like nails on a chalkboard constantly to no end. And then they stick her in the cowboy getup shooting people even though she wasn't really there..ugh

Anyway..

So I just watched Michael Moore's Capitalism movie. Its one of those things where half of it I was wanting to punch the tv and the other half I wanted to punch the tv repeatedly and throw it out the window, but I at least showed some restraint for 2 hours. Dont wanna drag politics into here but anyway the only interesting part that I took away from it was companies who take out "Peasant Insurance" on their workers in case they die, since that is something I've never heard mentioned before anywhere.

1/10

I think Blockbuster messed up and sent my Michael Moore's movie instead of Dead Snow which is what I was supposed to get, so at least I have an excuse to bitch and complain to Blockbuster and get a freebie of some sort for being an online customer of theirs for almost 6 years.

[Favre4Ever]

I just saw Pineapple Express for the first time. People had been bugging me to see it for upwards of a year, and the other night I was drunkenly cornered by friends and forced to watch it.

Well I was definitely pleased with it. Great movie, great cast. A little bit different than what I was expecting I will say. For some reason that big fat black cop lady that was in the film for all of 45 seconds made the whole thing for me.

A complaint would be a lack of scenes with his mega hot eighteen year old girlfriend. While it seemed this would end up being a centerpiece for the film, she ended up being in all of three scenes.

I'll give this an 8/10. It cannot achieve the maximum rating I believe due to a complete lack of titties of any sort.
