SteelEdge Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sky Premiere's this week.. Saturday 14th - Friday 20th November This Christmas Redbelt Twilight Zack And Miri Make A Porno 88 Minutes Thoughts on those titles? Thanks!  Watched Zack and Miri last week. Am a big fan of Kevin Smith's movies, but I thought this was by far the worst thing he's ever done! Dull, predictable, only really laughed properly about twice. Was a struggle to get through at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Curious Orange Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 88 minutes is really bad, but sadly doesn't reach the 'so bad its good' level of terribleness - so give that a wide berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 88 minutes is really bad, but sadly doesn't reach the 'so bad its good' level of terribleness - so give that a wide berth. Â Not most of the way, but the last 10 minutes of it certainly do. It's fucking ridiculous. Â I watched a movie called Black Sunday about a terrorist plot at the Superbowl. It was pretty tense stuff actually. Especially the awesome climax, which couldn't be ruined by horrible special effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 15, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 I liked Redbelt. It's definatly a different take on a martial arts flick for sure. If you want an action style fight flick go for oldies like Bloodsport. If you want a more serious/drama type movie, Redbelt might be your cup of jah.

patiirc Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Watched Death Note on Film 4 t'other nite, was impressive but way too convoluted for its own good meaning that the umpteen false endings and double swerve was about as satisfyiong as a WCW pay off.. Ruined what in essence had the makings of a good film. Â Just finally seen Spidey 2 on five... welll its okay. People have bigged it up as an amazing film but some of the specials look horrendously dated already, and the plot just dragged to be honest. Alfred Molina hamming it up was great, and as much as Kirsten Dunst can act in films, i just wanted to kill MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted November 17, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 Had the misfortune of watching 2012 last night. Now I wasn't expecting a 5 star classic but I thought at worst it would be an entertaining bit of hokum ala ID4 & John Cusack is usually watchable. It was the worst film of this year, worse than GI Joe : Rise of the Cobra. Premise is simple enough, the world is about to end due to the earths core heating up & chaos ensues. With a running time of 2hrs 40 mins is it wrong to expect the tiniest bit of character development so you actually care about 1 character before they potentially meet their demise? It's essentially a long montage of melodrama mixed in with lots of CGI, characters who pop up for 3 minutes making final phone calls to loved ones before being killed, but seeing as you neither know who most of these people are nor care about their relationships with their family members it's just a dull into for boring effects. Maybe I'm just 'over' CGI? When I see big special effects like this I just see effects. There was no 'wow factor' like when the dinosaur jumped up on it's hind legs in Jurassic Park or when the spaceships appeared over the earth in ID4. I was much more impressed with the effects work in District 9. It seemed the aliens interacted with the humans perfectly to the point where I didn't know which were CGI effects & which were men in suits. There was more soul in the first 15 minutes of 'Up' than in the whole of this stinking turd of a film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dent Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I just took one look at 2012 and thought... nope. I've been really looking forward to the release of the Coen Brothers new film, A Serious Man, which opens tomorrow. Unfortunatly and rather infuriatingly, its not on hardly anywhere because fucking Twilight has about 30 showings a day. The Coen's have only won Oscars and are generally very highly regarded in film, but I guess you can't put that on a lunchbox. So if I can brave all faggy adolescent cretins at the movies tomorrow who'll be seeing that, I might go see Harry Brown which I've heard good things about. Â On my flight to New York last week I watched Land of the Lost. I missed it at the cinema because it was only on for a week (which is usually an indicator of the film), but I'm a big Will Ferrell fan so I wanted to watch. It was exactly what I expected really, but shit with some silly laughs. I also watched The Hangover again, I think I could watch that hundreds more times and still laugh as much at it.

Famous Mortimer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I finally got round to a couple of recent horror films:  Drag Me To Hell Surprisingly rubbish. It's a really slight story for a big return to horror for Sam Raimi, and something about the plot left a bad taste in my mouth. <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Girl under pressure makes a slightly unkind decision, gets tortured for 90 minutes, then dies  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Not at all impressed.  Zombieland Worth every bit of praise heaped on it and more. An absolute gem, brilliant performances from all and I think it's going to be one of my favourite zombie films ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Green Posted November 21, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Step Brothers is surprisingly funny at points but the rest are pretty shit (minus the Thor one which I haven't even heard of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 21, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 Step Brothers cracks me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted November 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Step Brothers is amazing. The sleep walking sequences might be the hardest I've laughed, ever. Â Googling that Thor movie, it's one of those terrible Sci-Fi Channel originals, with the oldest kid from Home Improvement starring as Thor.

Harvey Dent Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I love Will Ferrell like I said a few posts up, so Step Brothers is great for me. Ferrell and Reily have great chemistry which carries the film completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OI OI SAVELOY Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Step Brothers is amazing. The sleep walking sequences might be the hardest I've laughed, ever. Â Seconded. That scene had a large group of us rolling around for at least 5 minutes meaning we missed a a few jokes when first released at the cinema. For some reason it was Will Farell saying "Heyyy...Hiii Im Darrell" that tickled us all. The delivery was hysterical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insert_name_here Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) I've just watched Paranormal Activity. I've spoiler tagged it just in case  SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read For anyone who doesn't know it's sort of a cross between The Blair Witch Project, Poltergeist and The Entity. It was pretty good, it's nowhere near as scary as it's made out to be(surprise surprise) there a few good shocks here and there but i just think that most Americans are pussies when it comes to horror films. My only real gripe with it is that the main guy in the film just came across as such a huge and monumental cunt that by the time it got to the last half hour or so of the film i was begging for him to be killed in a brutally violent manner.   Overall i'd give it 6.5/10. If you're a fan of films like The Blair Witch Project and [.REC] then i'd recommend it too you Edited November 26, 2009 by insert_name_here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
