Loki Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Just done that thing where you suddenly put a bunch of films together as being by the same director. Check out Roger Donaldson's resum
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted August 30, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 30, 2012 I love Little Nicky, so was a tad shocked when I found out how much it was panned. Going Overboard, however, is utter bum and deserves every bad review going. I can't stand most of Adam Sandler's comedies (Happy Gilmore being an exception) but I can't knock him simply because Punch Drunk Love is superb and he's the main reason for that. Superb, indeed. Reign Over Me is also a corker.

Paid Members Maverick Posted August 31, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 31, 2012 Watched Rain Man for the first time, it was fantastic, i'm not a big Cruise fan but he was excellent in this and it's easy to see why Hoffman got so much praise. Moving film.
GalaxyV.2 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Sandler seems to be becoming the actor he played in 'Funny People' I liked The Wedding Singer but that's about it (though 'Click' was pretty decent if they had ended it where it should have ended)
Paid Members Stephanie Posted August 31, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 31, 2012 Lawless. I liked it. Though I find it hard to take Shia LaBeouf seriously at times. I'm even more in love with Tom Hardy now than I was before. The movie is set in the prohibition era, three brothers are in the bootlegging business. It's pretty gritty and extremely violent. Guy Pierce was especially wicked in it. Gary Oldman is in it too. See it if you can.
Clumsy Dad Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I watched The Ghost last night and thought it was great. It
Cobra1000 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Total Recall Its pretty decent if Im honest. It reminded me of how I felt about the Assault on Precinct 13 remake. It was good fun, but there was no reason at all for it and it'll never match the original. Its a bit dry though, there isnt much humour, but the action is pretty class and it looks beautiful. Not the best film in the world but it was a fun way to spend Friday afternoon. Also if you played Sleeping Dogs, look out for Wei's small role! Edited September 1, 2012 by Cobra1000
Merzbow Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I've just stumbled across this lovely youtube page of full films http://www.youtube.com/user/Tromamovies/videos Troma isn't really my cup of tea but i'm going to give a few a go, any recommendations?
Paid Members Tommy! Posted September 1, 2012 Paid Members Posted September 1, 2012 Kevin Costner at his best.I find Costner such a bore to watch, even in a great film he kind of drags things down a notch by being so underwhelming.I'll await a few posts to say why I'm wrong, but I just can't escape it when ever I see him.
DarloKid Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 i watched the prequel to The Thing, called The Thing. I wasn't expecting much but it was only
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 3, 2012 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2012 yeh, i really enjoyed The Thing, thought it worked excellently as a prequel of sorts and gives you an insight into what led to the original film (althought i guess some would argue that they liked 'not knowing').

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 3, 2012 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2012 I watched Chinatown last night for the first time. A fucking brilliant film with one of the most insane shocking out of nowhere but brilliant endings ever. I'm not sure if I really rate Jack Nicholson as an actor too well, even when playing a role that's pretty straight he still comes across as a slightly unhinged crazy guy just because it's Jack Nicholson and he looks evil and insane all the time.

Chinatown's brilliant - one of those films that only idiots don't like.
