Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 23, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2011 I watched A Town Called Panic on Film 4 last night. It is MENTAL but in a brilliant, extremely funny way. It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen and I loved it. Look out for it in the listings because it's worth seeing!

Paid Members Gordon_The_Gopher Posted June 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Watched a video (yes, VHS) double bill over the past two days. Two films I had never seen before: Â As Good As It Gets - Jack Nicholson is brilliant in whatever role he plays. Helen Hunt looks strangly hot in this. I thought this was great, mostly because of Nicholson. Â Jerry Mcguire - Great, great film!! It's a love story, a buddy comedy, a sports film (ish). A great combination and I feel like an idiot for not watching it 15 years ago when it was new... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmilne Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I couldn't disagree more about Bridesmaids. Â Absolutely crap. Â If you enjoy 'comedy' that involves people shitting in the middle of the street and throwing up on each other than fine, fill yer boots. But I thought this was lowest-common-denominator, chick flick bollocks. Â Feel free to read my review in the link below, and disagree with me if you like.

Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted June 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2011 Damn. I was worried about that. Â I love Kristen Wiig on SNL, but when it starts being advertised as The Hangover (which I didnt think much of) with girls, then my hopes were dashed.

bwo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I watched Spaceballs for the first time in a while last night, and it is still funny now as the first time I saw it. One of my favourite films of all time with a fantastic cast and jokes I still laugh at. It never gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2011 just watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, what's everyone's thoughts on it? i'm a pretty easy guy to please when it comes to movies but i found it pretty hard to sit through, it's clearly got things going for it but at almost 3 hours and snail paced i just found it pretty boring. Benjamin Button wasn't a very interesting character either, outside of the aging backwards process i didn't really connect with him or feel for him at any point. Â thoughts on it?

Paid Members Green Posted June 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2011 Despite being a huge David Fincher fan I avoided it like the plague. Â (because it was probably shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Batman Returns I thought Tim Burton's previous Batman film was flawed with a bit of a contrived plot, but still a more or less fun watch. Batman Returns makes that look like an absolute masterpiece. It's like Burton didn't even give a shit this time around. Everything about it is just so flat. Â Batman Begins Blows every other Batman film out of the water. And really highlights that Tim Burton can't do action. Â Insidious I've never been so disappointed by a film. And I don't mean because of the hype. The first half is really good, and then it goes completely off the rails, becoming a tacky and blunt ghost ride. It sort of becomes Drag Me To Hell without any of the tongue-in-cheek. Edited June 26, 2011 by Vice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Returns is far from a perfect film but it's about a hundred times more entertaining than the painfully dull Batman Begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 At least I could see what the fuck was going on during the Tim Burton-directed action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Green Posted June 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 At least Burton can do semi-engaging female characters, something Nolan can't quite seem to grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzfan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Christopher Nolan makes clever films for stupid people. He's the middle class Michael Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
