burchybabi Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I watched the Cube trilogy recently. Hadn't even heard of the series before but thought I would give them a go. Definitely decent horror films and likened to the Saw films quite alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan of Arse Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Went to see 'Rocknrolla' the other day. I'm not the biggest Guy Ritchie fan in the world but I was pleasantly surprised. Great direction, a likeable cast and some decent dialogue meant I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.Not a classic by any means but more 'Lock, Stock' than 'Revolver'.

Paid Members JLM Posted September 12, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 To what extent does Idris Elba feature? I spotted him in the trailer and was tempted to see it on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 12, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hehe.. That was my exact question a couple pages ago about this film. There is a direct correlation between the percentage chance of me seeing this film and how much Stringer Bell action they got going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan of Arse Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) To what extent does Idris Elba feature? I spotted him in the trailer and was tempted to see it on that basis.If its who I think it is ( the black guy?) he's in the film a fair bit. Not one of the 'Main' characters but definately an upper mid carder to use a wrestling analogy. He's also very good in the film as well.EDIT - just googled him and it was who I was thinking of.

stylesclash05 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Went to see Pineapple Express today, it was fucking hillarious. I'd actually go as far as to say that it was better than Superbad all round. I can't recommend it highly enough, go see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyV.2 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Have to agree with the RocknRolla comments. If you want an enjoyable 2 hours go see it. Some great comedic moments in this, and the last half an hour of the film is cracking. People will obviously criticise it, but fuck em, its a great popcorn movie.Great soundtrack as well, and I think it will probably 'age' better than lock stock and snatch Edited September 12, 2008 by GalaxyV.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo2007 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It's shit. opinion obviouslyI thought it was OK. Nothing to write home about, loved Goblet of Fire so have to say I expected better, the magic fight scenes near the end were well done though.

Tequila_Boy Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 As a massive fan of the books I found it dissapointing. Open casting for the first few films has come back to bite them in the arse as some of the child performances as absolutely awful (Emma Watson) whilst the whole thing lacks energy and is horribley edited and directed. Also it diverts and cuts from the book to many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Exorcist III - Legion - finally finished watching the Exorcist series. This was the 2nd sequel and was directed by the man who wrote the original (William Peter Blatty), who incidentally despised the original sequel. This movie pretty much has nothing to do with the Exorcist, it's based on Blatty's novel Legion and is basically a serial killer-detective movie, there's a brief mention too the exorcism but that's it (an actual exorcism scene was tagged on at the end after being demanded by the studio and is pretty stupid). This was a very good movie, it's definatly been hurt by the fact that is carries the Exorcism tag. But watch this with an open mind and expect something a little different and you'll probably get a kick out of it.The Exorcist series is probably my favorie series of horror movie, i've said before any horror that involves religion just appeals to me for some reason. It's a pretty diverse series.I have the Legion novel. It's been a while since I read it but I did find it just as enjoyable as reading the Exorcist. I have all three movies on video and I gotta say I only bought The Heretic out of sheer curiosity to see just how shit a cash-in sequel could be. Strangely I feel like watching it now... either that or Repossessed (90's spoof with Linda Blair & Leslie Neilson which I highly recommend).Speaking of spoofs, I finally got round to watchingSuperhero Movie. What a shitfest that was. I don't know if it's because it's mostly based around Spiderman (which I hate with a passion) or just the fact that... it's just shit! All I can say is it's a sad day when Leslie Neilson fails to be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted September 13, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have the Legion novel.How is that scene played out in writing? You know the one. I imagine fifty pages of "yeah, it's a hallway and that. There's a nurse milling about. Nothing happening. Still a hallway. The nurse is OH FUCKING HELLCHRIST" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said its been a while since I read it. About 8 years or so. I'll have a look about my room see if I can find it and I'll get back to you on that one haha ;)On a totally-fucked-over-from-zero-sleep note... I just finished watching The Other Boleyn Girl. Last night after watching BBC's resident pornfest, The Tudors it put me in the mood to watch Elizabeth, which I always found to be enjoyable (can't believe that was made 10 years ago now), but instead I opted for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. It was decent enough, a lot less bloodshed than the first, but still Cate Blanchett was consistant in a tremendous portrayal of the Queen of England. So, today in the early hours and still in the mood for some history (even if it's fictionally tweaked in places) I checked out The Other Boleyn Girl. Hated it. With a passion. I had to force myself to stick it out to the end. Normally if I show no interest within the first 20 mins then that's it, I fuck it off and move on to the next. I think it was the knowledge of Anne Boleyn's fate that kept me going to be honest. Aside from that there wasn't a single thing I liked about this movie.
