    ive just been thinking how much it must suck for Mr. Seven to spend so much of his spare time doing something he seemingly gets no enjoyment out of (watching movies).

    Yeah I hate absolutely everything. You got me. :rolleyes:
    You do realise that *that* is your token comeback whenever someone comments on something negative about you.Interesting... :devil:

    The only mindblowing thing about the film is the fact that it went to the editing room and that's what came out. I'd say watch it again but you're clearly easily entertained, so there's really no point in trying to open your eyes, despite all it's glaring flaws being right there infront of you.

    Pft. I'm right, you're wrong.Stop being so eletist, Mr Elitist Eliterson. :angry::angry:

    Harsh Times is drivel.

    No it's not. Apart from the sometimes cringe inducing dialogue, the film is great. Why do you think its so bad your Seven-ness?
    It's like I said when I watched it three months ago...

    Seven's 'review'

    And I stand by that.
    Really?I can understand what you're saying, but don't you agree that the last 30-40 minutes of the film are just mindblowing?Like I said myself, the dialogue is a tad ropey with 'dude' dawg' and 'homie' said every other sentence, and there are some convenient coincedences thrown in throughout the film, but apart from that it's really well made.What whizz-bang trickery are you referring to? The only thing resembling MTV ADD Style movie making are the times where Bales character has those flashes back to the war...and they are there for a reason.I also liked the fact that Eva Longoria's character wasn't just there as T&A material, her role actually had some substance.Umm yeh, great film.

    Harsh Times

    Wow. Written and directed by the same guy who wrote Training Day, Harsh Times follows a similar tale of two guys driving around, having fun and spiralling into darker territory as the film progresses. What makes this film stand out however, is that Bale's character is actually given a decent backstory, and there is some semblence of reasoning behind his behaviour. Visually the film is great and captures the Latino spirit well. Christian Bale is fucking excellent and Freddy Rodriguez is superb also. Theres so much more I could say, but I can't be arsed really!

     

    All in all, a fucking wicked film.

    Along Came Polly

    I'm a sucker for a Ben Stiller comedy, and in this film he does his usual schtick with some extra rom-com moments. Plus Jennifer Aniston looking smoking hot and doing her best Ben Stiller impression throughout! Quite a funny film as a whole.

     

    Who knew that Chief Wiggum worked out eh. ;)

    The Brave :

    Raphael (Johnny Depp, also making his directorial debut) and his young family live in Morgantown on the edge of the American Dream. With one step over the poverty line, he sees only one way out... money. Raphael meets the monstrous snuff movie maker McCarthy (Marlon Brando). He offers Raphael $30,000 to be the star of one of his movies. He accepts and has $5,000 in his hand, $25,000 to go to his family and just one week to live the rest of his life. Determined to make something good out of his last seven days, he builds a junkyard paradise for his family. He relishes his new friendship with his kids and falls in love with his wife all over again. Realising that he is worth more to his family alive than dead, he tries to return the money and end the contract... but is it too late?

     

    Picked this up from Play.com purely because it was directed by Johnny Depp, and it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. The story is touching, if a little implausible and the acting is great throughout with special props to the children playing Depp's kids whose performances were very natural. Depp himself carrries the film really well, but in terms of direction it's oddly slow and it seems he can't decide wether he wants it to be full of quirky humour or an involving emotional drama. The ending was very emotional though and I nearly reached for the tissues! :(

     

    Anyone else seen it?

     

    I also wanna add to the Broken Arrow love. :thumbsup:

    The Wicker Man (2006)One of the more pointless remakes of recent times. Let's get the obvious out of the way. This has absolutely nothing on the fantastic original, which remains one of the finest horror films of all time. This is bad, but not as bad as I was expecting. I really don't understand why it was remade, especially when they completely change the protagonist's character. The cast are rather uninspired. Nic Cage is... Nic Cage, as always, meaning you know what to expect; trademark weird drawl, random unintentionally funny moments and some hilariously hammy acting. Ellen Burstyn gives it her all, but she's no Christopher Lee, and Helen Hunt lookalike Leelee Sobieski is even blander than usual. As a standalone horror film, it's quite poor. As a remake of a classic, it's insulting. And yet I cannot bring myself to hate this film. Why? It's simple really:Nic Cage. Dressed as a bear. Punching a woman in the face. ~

    Haha, yeh the remake sucked ass.We watched the original in uni 3 or 4 times, and to be honest, its not very good (apart from the soundtrack).
    What are you talking about? The original is a classic.
    Just because other people like it, doesn't mean I do. :thumbsup: Its boring, and unintentionally funny at times. The acting is not really great at all. The saving graces were the climax (the only real 'horror' in the film), and I also liked the whole Christian and Pagan symbolism throughout.I'm all for horror films that build up suspense and tension, but in my view, The Wicker Man doesn't manage to do that.
