  1. MY only issue with Star Trek was not knowing what was going on during some times of panic/confusion/fights as the screen sometimes became so cluttered with CGI, people, smoke, fire, explosions etc. I understand this is needed to enhance the situation but sometimes it felt like ti was too much and i had difficulty understanding what the fuck was going on

  2. i agree with some of what's said in that review, still doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it :thumbsup:

     

    I was talking about this today with my bandmate. Sure the cinematography didn't change my views on life and made me think of the inspiration Hitchcock must of had on this materpiece as he used the doppelganger technique to great effect in a similar way as was used by the great German Arthouse Pioneers of Ages gone by, but can't people just turn their brains off and enjoy a film for what it is, not what it isn't anymore?

  3. Wouldn't mind knowing how Xavier ended up a wheelchair.

     

    And also. Is Wolverine ageless or does he just age slowly? Because based on the opening montage he cannot die of old age or anything else unless (as with everyone) he gets his head lopped off, but then he's made of some fucking crazy ass super metal which I presume make it hard to dismember him.

  4. I just watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for the first time. While I thought it was good, it just seemed really long and not an awful lot actually happened. I'm gonna stick with it though and watch the next one soon.

     

    I just watched them all through. Awesome stuff, though to be fair, I say I watched them through I tended to skip the sam/frodo/gollum bits because they are just so shitty and annoying.

     

    So you didn't actually watch them at all. Go back and start again.

     

    Well actually I did, and have done in the past, hence why I skipped those bits.

  6. Race to Witch Mountain. Not bad, The Rock is very funny and its generally a decent disney family movie. Wished theere had been more explanation of the governments plan and also of the experiments, surprised and for some reason slightly dissapointed they didnt put in more "your planet going to die unless you stop the shit your doing to it" stuff from the kids.

     

    Generally a good fun film

  7. Here's one I actually didn't think to mention. Porn Star Damian Duke is one of my very good mates.

     

    You mean Gay for Pay man? With the rather not so attractive pornstar girlfriend, no offence like.

     

    I remember seeing him on SEvsPorn, then later that evening, feeling the urge to flick to 470, i horribly stumbled upon the Gay TV freeview, with Mr Gay for Pay himself in an advert for "British Skater Boys".

     

    But yeah

  8. Saw Watchmen, great film, a bit disgusting, great soundtrack (especially the first fight scene) but the Orchestral score just annoyed me. It made it seme really shit and attempting to be epic and then they play some Jimi Hendrix or Simon and Garfunkel. Plus I sat right under a speaker and it just ruined the movie for me, wish they'd stuck to the soundtrack of awesome music

  9. The ending I jsut didn't get whatsoever.

     

    He wants her to be there for him, she wants to be, but leaves, thus leaving the movie with no conclusion really

     

     

    She doesn't want to be there, she wants him to not have the match. But he has the match and chooses wrestling over her and maybe dies then, maybe dies later, maybe in the ring, maybe not but ultimately alone. The end.

     

    But she wants to be with him and tells him she'll support him even though she doesn't want him to do it and then the film just ends, with us never knowing what happens to him, and not in the good way, its like there was no point in the middle part of the movie. He was a wrestler who fucked up his family and pesonal life and who continues to fuck it up and still wrestles.

  10. The Wrestler

     

    Is this the movie that everyone believed Rourke was entitled to an Oscar for? Seriously? Aside from the disturbingly polite Necro Butcher I thought that this movie was an absolute disaster and I came away thinking that Rouke's 'real life' was more unrealistic than his part-time existance as a wrestler. By the time the movie ended I knew as little about 'The Ram' as when the movie started.

     

    I don't know how Randy went from selling out Madison Square Garden to living in a trailer, did he blow all of his money on peroxide, tanning booths and sixty dollar lapdances?

    I don't know why Randy was such a failure as a parent, was he on the road and afraid of asking for time off for fear of losing his spot, or was he just a selfish prick who got what he deserved?

    I don't know why Randy would agree to work a deathmatch in CZW when he clearly had absolutely no idea what he was getting himself involved in.

     

    I don't know any of these things because apparently the guy who wrote this travesty didn't believe that things like humanisation of characters and establishing a believable backstory are important traits for a movie. Are we supposed to pity Randy? Are we supposed to sympathise with him? Or are we supposed to laugh at him for being a clueless relic of a bygone age? As a viewer I felt nothing but apathy for the characters because I was never given a reason to care about anyone in it, you were quite literally given nothing to base an opinion on. I'll admit that the wrestling segments were pretty decent but I believe that a lot of wrestling fans have been duped into believing that this is a good movie merely because it doesn't make a total mockery of wrestling. It did a very good job of exposing the seedy underbelly of Pro-Wrestling that people don't like to talk about but it infuriated me by not explaining to the audience why these people smash themselves to pieces every night in front of a crowd. The entire deathmatch sequence served no purpose (just like the extended strip club routines) than to add a bit of blood and guts to the movie, it didn't establish any kind of context so to a lot of people it would have come across as completely unbelievable and unrealistic.

     

    I've heard the The Wrestler described as being "to Pro-Wrestling what Rocky was to Boxing". Pure nonsense. Even if you take the Boxing segments out of Rocky you're still left with a tale about a guy who wanted to succeed or die trying, we follow him through the highs and lows and most importantly we're given real reasons to root for him and will him to succeed - I can't say the same about The Wrestler because we're never given any reason to believe in Randy or even care about him. I was disappointed with this movie because, like Pro-Wrestling in general nowadays, it promised so much yet delivered so little, it could have opened the sport up to a new generation by finally explaining why these people do it, what it means to them and the inevitable sacrifices that come from it.

  11. Tropic Thunder

     

    Nowhere near as funny as it should have been. Jack Black is utterly pointless, Ben Stiller is Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr is obviously the only reason to watch this. The blackface thing is still questionable and weird, but RDJ is a wonderful comedic actor (Still not seen Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang? Shame on you) and makes it work. The Tom Cruise thing is overblown too. It's just a dull film to be honest, and instantly forgettable.

     

    The only film I have ever turned off half way through.
