Steve Justice Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Drag Me To Hell - I was with it until the talking goat. And the ending was just so obvious I needn't have watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Can someone who has watched District 9 confirm that the sound is supposed to be fuzzy. I'm guessing not and I've just got a bad download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted September 6, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) I watched batman, the one with Jack Nicklaus in. It was just as great as i remember it being when i was about 7. Next on the list is Memoirs of an invisible man with Chevy Chase, which i hope is also just as good as it was when i was about 7. Â Â :confused: Â Thats the one, Batman has to stop his evil plan to cheat a win in the Ryder Cup. Â That or the spell checker just switched it without me really looking at what I was doing, but I'd rather go with the first mind. Id also hope you aren't really confused by that and are joking or i'd suspect you're a bit simple Edited September 6, 2009 by Tommy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWM Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Watched David Cronenberg's Crash over the weekend, mildly disappointing. I felt that any sort of story or narrative was ruined by the lazy over-reliance on graphic sex stuff, it was more like watching a better directed, more gruesome version of Red Shoe Diaries. I really wanted it to be a great film, it just never got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_the_Lion Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Watched The Brave One at the weekend. Â Strange film, couldn't help but feel that if the lead role had been played by Jean Claude Van Damme it would have been a hell of a lot better because they wouldn't have felt the need to try and give it quite so much meaning and thus dilute any potential for fun which may have existed. It was a revenge based action film that really, really tried to be something other than a revenge based action film. Â It also features one the strangest performances of all time from Jodie Foster. If you don't want to watch the film but want to know how she protrayed the role just close your eyes and remember the face she pulled when she was talking to Lector about the lambs - she pulled that face for two fucking hours.

patiirc Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Watched Breakfast With Pluto last night on Film 4. Neil Jordan and Trannies again. However a sterling cast, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson and a load of Brit/Irish stars including Ian Hart, Brendan Gleeson and a cracking tale make a good film.  Id equateit to a Trainspottingesque tale, of Mistaken identity, crap criminals and random violence. Cillian Murphy's 'Kitten' Is much like Renton, despite being a tranny being in the wrong place at the wrong time and having a load of crazy adventures while trying to seek out his biologial parents. Stephen Reas turn as a magician is hilarious. and The narration by birds reminds me of the talking dog in Go  Cracking film I would highly recommend   A film I wouldnt recommend is Lucky Number Slevin, despite the films cast and premise, i felt it was too convoluted for its own sake and ive given it a couple of times to sink in, but it leaves me cold and doesnt really capitvate and enthral me. Schlo mo, Morgan Freeman, and stories about revenge should be great however its trying to hard for its own good.  Maybe its a film you have to be in the zone as it were or with a bunch of like minded mates. I have had it recommended secveral times but just cant past the feeling of ennui while watching it.  Still to watch Letters from Iwo Jima  and through the post today should be Crank, Empire of the Sun and Memphis Belle WOO HAW and me 5.99 complete Rocky Boxset should be through shortly thereafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted September 7, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 I thought Lucky Number Slevin was fun. You should bear in mind that I (as every man should be) am gay for Josh Hartnett and am more than a little bit obsessed with Morgan Freeman. With that in mind it couldn't fail. It all gets a bit silly but there's enough good in it for it to be worth a watch. It also highlights the fact that Lucy Liu should be in more roles like that one. Why isn't she? Is it because she's Asian? It's because she's Asian isn't it? Bah. Baseless accusations aside, she is ludicrously likeable in that film. And hot, obviously.

Â The thing is, I generally like Josh Hartnett films, stretching back to the Faculty... I guess I must have missed the boat with Lucky Number Slevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2009 It was a fun, silly film. It passed the time nicely, but Slevin Kelevra is a rubbish fictional name; it actively annoys me just saying it in my head. It sounds dumb!

CurryAngel Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I watched "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" on Sky Movies the other night. It's your basic slasher movie sequel but this time they have moved the location to the warm climate of Brazil. This gives Jennifer Love Hewitt the perfect excuse to spend 3 quarters of the movie in just a bikini which is great. Â The ending sequence is pretty good as a tropical storm hits just as the killer starts to strike. This means JLH spends the final quarter of the movie running around in the pouring rain and with a tight, white unbuttoned shirt on which is also great. Â As a slasher movie its very generic and the acting is appalling. Brandy (the singer) is terrible, her boyfriend is terrible and Freddie Prinze Jr. isn't in the movie long enough to really rate. Â As a Jennifer Love Hewitt perv-fest it is tremendous. Lots of her wearing very little and when she decides to wear a shirt she treats us to her being soaking wet and running around a lot.

The King Of Swing Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Is that the one where <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler the killer in the original movie is working as a nurse at the hospital where the recent killer is being held a the end? Â [close spoiler] ");document.close();Â If so then I loved that ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallout Boy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 District 9, for me, is the film of the year. Â I don't really want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but it's one of the better takes on social commentary and one of most enjoyable sci-fi films I've had the pleasure to watch.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 7, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 You should bear in mind that I (as every man should be) am gay for Josh Hartnett  You should've got yourself down to the West End at the end of last year - Hartnett was the lead in the production of "Rain Man" at the Apollo on Shaftesbury Avenue. By all accounts, he did a great job of playing the Tom Cruise role.  It was a fun, silly film. It passed the time nicely, but Slevin Kelevra is a rubbish fictional name; it actively annoys me just saying it in my head. It sounds dumb!  I think it sounds OK. Is it supposed to be Yugoslavian? When I first heard the name, I thought it sounded like the latest Balkan player to be purchased by some mid-table Premier league club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
