  1. Saw 4.

     

    Not dissapointing in the slightest!...Because I knew it would be shit anyway. I found the whole thing to be cheesy, rushed and generally just terrible.

     

    The acting in particular is rather wooden and this isn't helped by tedious dialouge. There was nob reason to care about the characters besides Jigsaw and even his character has been taken as far as it can in my book.

     

    Clockwork Orange

     

    Saw this as part of a College assignment. As a film it raises interesting points about social expressionism and themes like freedom. It's also clever in that whilst you originally find yourself hating the main character, later on you begin to feel sorry for him as the story progresses.

     

    Not to my personal taste, but as a film it's certainly thought provoking and interesting viewing.

  2. Inside Man

     

    Cracking film with a great set of performances from the cast and an entertaining story. Clive Owen in particular was a joy to watch as the main antagonist. The story itself kept me hooked all the way through as the twist and turns came into play. And hey, some nice one liners as well. I'd give it about 8/10.

     

    Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

     

    First of all, the DVD is shit. No extras? Nothing?? What gives? In hindsight, the film istelf is worth the money and then some. What an absolute belter. For script writing alone it's one of the most well written films I've ever laid eyes upon. To add to that, you've got excellent performances from a cracking cast, an interesting, thought engaging story and some glorious humour.

    9/10.

  3. The Condemned

     

    I personally enjoyed most of it, but it would've been nice to see more emphasis on the tactics of the actual game players rather than the crisis of conscience that plagued the game creators office. Vinnie Jones is an absolute hoot at times in his role, but otherwise none of the performances particularly caught me eye, not even Austin. Though Austin does come out with some funny one liners. I'll give it about 7/10.

     

    Transformers

     

    I'm a little undecided. Brilliant action scenes and the transformations are slick. But I didn't feel much of a connection to many of the characters. Not that this has ever been Michael Bay's strongest aspect of his film making, but nevertheless characters like Sam's love interest just have no reason for me to care about them. Not even the slightest hint! The last 45 minutes of the film though is tremendous. A bunch of angry robots smashing the living shit out of each other? That'll do nicely. We'll call it 7/10.

     

    Anchorman

     

    Hilarious, and probably the most quotable film in my collection with the exception of the original Star Wars trilogy. A fun story with superb comedy characters and some great scenes which, in all fairness are absolutely ridiculous, like the fight scene for instance. Christina Applegate is an absolute darling. But my favourite character in the movie is probably Brian Fantana. Loving the 70's setting also. 8/10

     

    Death Proof

     

    The stand alone version. Cracking cinematography at times and good editing as is the standard for Tarantino. What I didn't like was the lack of Kurt Russell and the introduction of the second quartet of females (The New Zealander annoyed the fuck out of me) late on the film. They should have been introduced far earlier on, even in just a quick scene or something, ANYTHING to make me care about them rather than have them just shoved down my face with loads of babbling dialogue. I know Tarantino loves his dialogue and for the most part it was actually ok, but I was just begging for Stuntman Mike to come along at some point and smack those bitches up!

    I'll call it 6/10

     

    Fawlty Towers

     

    We can talk about other DVD's rather than films in this thread as well, right? If so, I highly recommend this for a master class in characters, plots and situation comedy in general. 10/10 for hilarity. Not sure which of the two series I prefer, but I think series 2 just shades it. Magnificence, I tell you. 10/10

  4. Could somebody enlighten me concerning a couple of questions.First of all, where are the Basham brothers? Danny is stilll listed on the Raw superstars page yet I've seen nothing of him for a good year. I remember some brief Velocity appearences from Doug, but they both seem to have disappeared. Also, can anyone tell me the latest on Steve Austin's relationship with the WWE?Thanks in advance.

  5. But, you're a high profile poster who comes across as arrogant on occasion. It's not hard to see why your being voted, as the internet loves a good bandwagon.

    I don't think it was so much to do with his arrogance, but more to do with his stupidity on numerous occasions. You need only look back at the "Ask Dandaman anything!" thread to see one example of this.
