Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 30, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I dunno'. I found Ring 0 to be a better film than Ring 2. Â Definitely, Ring 2 was absolutely fucking dire. The only one worse than 2 in the series was the spin-off, Rasen. Â 0 wasn't so much a horror for me as a rather poignant tragedy with elements of horror in it, though.

Gladstones Bitch Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Going to watch Bronson tonight although everyone I've spoke to who have seen have all said its shite, so it's not looking too promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I think Robin Williams is great, but today I had the misfortune of watching Robin Williams: Live On Broadway which was essentially two hours of Williams rambling about current affairs (in 2002) in various 'funny' voices accents. Naturally the predominantly American audience pissed themselves laughing throughout while I just sat there with a blank look on my face wondering where the jokes were. I finally snapped after an hour and a bit and switched it off to do something else. Â Dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarTheSlouch Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Watched Get Smart earlier. Was a lot better than I expected it to be - dont normally like Steve Carrell but he was OK. Rock was a pleasant surprise but Anne Hathaway really kept the whole thing flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstones Bitch Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Bronson 6.5/10 - 7/10 Â I enjoyed Bronson overall even though the way its made/shot is very unique to say the least. I cant really think of much to say at thye minute to describe it if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he appeared on, I think it was Clive Anderson, he had me in utter stitches, but other times I find him quite dull.  Watched Hook today and he reminded me of the fact that as an actor he can make any role, no matter how corny, watchable.

Tequila_Boy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 That could be becauyse your humor levels had been lowered to a point where anything else is funny due to watching Clive Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Dent Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Saw Night at the Museum 2 last night, it was far funnier than I expected. Hank Azaria and Steve Coogan I found especially hilarious. Worth a watch if you're in the mood for some gentle comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladstones Bitch Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT ( 2009 REMAKE ) - 7.5/10 Â Well this turned out much better than I'd expected to be honest as normally remakes are a bit shite, overall I couldnt fault it 1 bit apart from the bit right at the end I didnt know if the dad really did that or not. Â It would of been better if I hadnt already seen the original but I saw it that long ago ( about 12 years ) that I'd forgot bits and pieces but remembered the main parts like who dies etc. Â Still well worth a watch though I reckon.

Steve Justice Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The Hunt For Gollum: A short (34 minutes) non-profit fan film. It's really, really good. I wasn't expecting much and I wasn't sure how I would take to the characters not being played by the original actors, but they do a really good job. Very well put together, very well acted and the voice for Gollum itself is convincing enough that you actually think it's Andy Serkis. Â The film is set prior to The Fellowship of the Rings, and it basically sets up Gandalf going to the Shire to see Bilbao. If you like LOTR, you'll like this.

Hank Azaria and Steve Coogan I found especially hilarious. Worth a watch if you're in the mood for some gentle comedy. Â Â I watched the first one on TV last night and had much the same thoughts.. "gentle comedy" is a perfect description, but it was throughly enjoyable, and I recognised pretty much every single adult cast member from somewhere. Â Ricky Gervais was, of course, shit and annoying throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted June 1, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 They're actually quite hard to compare as Ring 0 was about the histroy behind the whole thing so was very different from the first two. It was a good film, but I felt at times it wondered a bit from the genre. What's your point? I don't really see why care about it staying on genre. Ring 0's tremendous and easily my favourite of the trilogy. I re-watched the first one recently for the first time in ages and had forgotten that it's actually quite dull at times. As Carbomb's stated, the second films just plain rubbish.   I think Robin Williams is great, but today I had the misfortune of watching Robin Williams: Live On Broadway. Dud. That's a shame. I remember reading very good reviews about that when it was first released but never got around to watching it. Kinda glad now as from your description it sounds very much like the problem I often had with some aspects of his stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
