DVD's and Films You Have Watched Recently

Yeah, but does the book have Arnold Schwarzenegger in it? No. So you're wrong.

Yeh, but I couldn't remember the characters name so I said the guy who Arnie plays in the film. I don't understand what your arguing against? The fact that I thought the book was better or the fact that there is a different ending?

I was saying that you're wrong in saying that the book is better, my reason being because Arnie isn't in the book.

[ukedge87]

It shouldn't be watched in any mood. It sucks.

Yeah. Thanks for that.

[Mr. Seven]

Did you make the film or something?

And you expect a serious answer to that?

I just don't see why you appeared to be getting defensive.Also, what the hell did ukedge87 just post?

Ah right. Just me being thick and defensive again.

Have you ever seen Modern Toss? Late night C4 adult animation? Its a screencap.

[Mr. Seven]

I haven't. What's the relevance?

[ukedge87]

I think you would like it.

 

The spacemen in the picture wind each other up in ridicolous ways - with the sensible member of the two usually ending up saying something 'Yeah. Cheers for that' 'Yeah. Nice one. WANKER'.

The Pursuit Of Happyness

 

Awesome. Heart - Wrenching. Emotional. Brilliant.

 

An excellent film which takes you on the ride of a lifetime. Based on a true story which anyone with half a heart will love. Jaden Smith plays the young son of Chris Gardner to perfection. His innocence and delivery is a joy to see.

 

As is his Dads performance. If this doesn't get Will Smith an Oscar nomination, god knows what will.

 

*****. Just awesome.

Casino Royale

 

Well, that certainly was better for me than Apocalypto. Highly enjoyable flick here. Loved the pre-credit sequence and it was the first real chance to see the darker side of Bond. However, I thought that it lacked a really sinister villain. Le Chiffre was okay, but I never ever thought to myself that he was going to be any sort of challenge for Bond. I actually liked the credit sequence too. Overall, there wasn't much to dislike about it, and I'm glad that I got around to it eventually.

Watched "Pumping Iron" again. Awesome, but in a funny way. You must get the Torrent.

The Wicker Man (2006)

 

One of the more pointless remakes of recent times. Let's get the obvious out of the way. This has absolutely nothing on the fantastic original, which remains one of the finest horror films of all time. This is bad, but not as bad as I was expecting. I really don't understand why it was remade, especially when they completely change the protagonist's character. The cast are rather uninspired. Nic Cage is... Nic Cage, as always, meaning you know what to expect; trademark weird drawl, random unintentionally funny moments and some hilariously hammy acting. Ellen Burstyn gives it her all, but she's no Christopher Lee, and Helen Hunt lookalike Leelee Sobieski is even blander than usual. As a standalone horror film, it's quite poor. As a remake of a classic, it's insulting. And yet I cannot bring myself to hate this film. Why? It's simple really:

 

Nic Cage. Dressed as a bear. Punching a woman in the face.

I've plans to watch 'The Pianst' tonight and I was just wondering what to expect in terms of quality? I've heard good and bad stuff about it.

Haha, yeh the remake sucked ass.We watched the original in uni 3 or 4 times, and to be honest, its not very good (apart from the soundtrack).

Has anyone got any opinions on the film "Chopper" It's been really cheap for ages and i've been thinking aboot getting it..

I didn't think I'd like it at all, but my GF made me watch it last year and I loved it. I thought it would be focused around violence, but it's not... it's focused around humour which is based on violence and Chopper comes off as a crazy uncle you don't want to invite to your wedding. The extra's with the real Chopper were also fun to watch.As for stuff I've seen recently - The lady and I went to see Pans Labyrinth on Sunday night and I rather enjoyed it. I had only seen posters of the movie and hadn't seen any reviews or previews, so it wasn't what I expected.I asumed the movie would be all fantasy, and in my mind something like the David Bowie movie but more serious with less muppets. Instead I got some fantasy mixed with Spain some time after it's civil war which merged quite well. Though the fantasy element made me a little unprepared for the gruesome scenesincluded within the movie.
