Bourne Ultimatum 7/10

Got the trilogy for christmas and just got around to watching the latest installment. Those of you crying about the shaky cam need to lighten up. Didn't seem bad to me. Good action - albeit a bit over the top in some sequences compared to the previous movies.

Robert De Niro as a homo

haha yeah. that part was great

3:10 to Yuma (2007): 7/10 The last 40 minutes are exceptional...the middle bit is somewhat snoozy and meanders off course a tad. Crowe is still the fucking man.

Sunshine: 9/10
The best movie I've seen in a good long time. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are an unstoppable duo.

I'll have to check that out. I loved The Tesseract (a novel) by Garland.

I know someone else here saw it and said it sucked but they're clearly a fucking retard.

It's one of those films that has some plot holes but the writing and acting is so good that it doesn't matter one little bit. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie.

King of Kong...A Fist full of quarters : OMG BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER!!
About a douche bag who thinks he's god because he has the worlds record for Donkey Kong.
Hilarious just to look at him and his mullet as he compares himself to the abortion issue....

No country for old men: OMG BEST COHEN BROS MOVIE EVER!!!!

everything said about it is true...Great film.

Renditon: Just okay... 6/10. The sub plot was cool once they reveal what it was all about at the end.

Grey Gardens: WOW!

Amazing documentary from the 70's about the Aunt and cousin of Jackie kennedy/onasis. Two crazy old ladies both named Edie..( Big Edie and Little Edie) who live in this run down mansion in the Hamptons with 52 cats...mountains of garbage, raccoons in the attic that they feed bags of wonder bread. They sing show tunes all day long and bicker and fight.. And Its just hilarious... Little Edie has the most insane fashion sense.. We've watched it 3 times already...

Bucket List 6/10

The Simpsons Movie - 8/10

Let's be honest... with some of the recent episodes, this movie was really setting itself up for failure, but it pulled through. There were plenty of olo parts, but it stuck true to the points that made the show a success in the first place: specifically, it wasn't afraid to show emotion. Homer had plenty of over-the-top stupid moments, but nothing that made you hate him.

Lost points for: lack of secondary character development, a few lame scenes (the rock & a hard place), "boob lady" (wtf? Tress MacNeille couldn't do accents before and it's no different here), excessive use of computer animation, and stupid guest appearances (wtf was the point of putting Tom Hanks in it?)

I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Trade 8/10


did you know that about 1 million people worldwide get transported accross borders and sold as sex slaves every year?

Cloverfield: 9/10

Think of it as a hybrid between Children of Men and The Blair Witch Project, channelling a War of the Worlds storyline.

I can't say I was "blown away" (although in all fairness, I only say that about two movies: The Matrix and Children of Men) but it was an excellent film. Between this, Children of Men, There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men (maybe even Sweeney Todd in some respects), I think contemporary directors are showing us they are finally ready to serve up a new era of American cinema, one in which audiences will actually be challenged by plots, endings, visual styles, and cinematic devices that are more than the stock clichés which have been recycled endlessly since about the beginning of the 90s.

(Back to Cloverfield:) The handheld camerawork was so refreshing, the long takes so engrossing, the details so nonchalant but poignant. The acting is perfect -- I won't say brilliant, because all they have to do is run around and look confused and scared, but the actors they picked are just the ones for the job, and thank god there aren't any big names in there to distract us from the carnage.

I heartily recommend this film.

You liked it? Thought you would of hated it. but yeah, awesome movie. A lot of people told me it was "average" or "shite", but I really enjoyed it. Shame about the ending, which as a bit to much of a kick in the balls, but the film itself was awesome.

I probably wouldn't of watched it if it wasn't for the Requiem music in the trailer. They can add that music to any shit trailer for any shit film ever, and it would look watchable.

United 93 - 9/10 - understated, and the way the directors ratchets up the tension is genius, even though you know how it's going to end (and the end sequence is awesome)

7/10
1976 - vaguely compact dialogue of an implicitly accidental antihero storyline. deniro's unfocused obsession floats between two women and killing the fuck out of someone. The women are played by jodi foster (maybe 15 in the movie?) who plays a convincing nutty chick, to prop her pimp (harvey keitel -sp?), and cybil shepherd --who apparently was hawt and young once.
The gaybizarreafterhippie soundtrack was secondary to the intense but loosely-stitched story. Scoresese not only directed, but played a brief part as a cuckolded husband following his wife and rocking the n-word. Hi,

Steamboy

your run off the mill anime, set in the 1800s. flying and walking buildings at the end. the usual.

pretty steampunk art

A Beatiful Mind 7/10

Was in doubt if i should give this an eight rather than a seven, because it surprised me most pleasantly: whatshisface can actually act worth a damn, who would have thought that. Was a pleasure seeing him do another role than his archetypical macho hoorah rape the bitches & set fire to the children type.

Decided not to give it that extra point in the end, because although it was certainly entertaining and even good-ish, it wasn't anywhere near memorable or outstanding.

Catwoman

...

as hot as Halle Berry is, LOL that you watched that.

[seremtan]

Sunshine - 7/10 - started off well but the ending was stupid. strange how in the movies, going batshit crazy gives you super-strength

No Country For Old Men - 7/10 - Ummmm... strange ending....

[Hannibal]

Sunshine: 7/10 The first two acts are tip-top, what sci-fi was meant to be. But all the grandeur, all the mounting existential tension that was so artfully built up during the first two thirds of the film is tainted like a mofo with the 'Event Horizon' goofiness that seemed arbitrarily injected into the final act. Given the scope and emotional tone the film had established, it made no fucking sense. An inexplicable distraction is all that it ended up being for me. Maybe the commentary track can provide some insight, maybe the studio forced them to include it...it just felt all wrong. This film would have easily been a 9 for me otherwise.

Cloverfield 8/10

It was fun. Worth seeing in the theater.

why wouldn't it be worth seeing at home? sound?

[Jackal]

Yes, that's the only reason. Personally, I was a bit underwhelmed by Cloverfield thoug I thought it was better than the average movie.

[+JuggerNaut+]

yeah, figured it was the only reason.
