Gemmill 35468 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Deja Vu.....bit of a silly plot though. I feel duty bound at this point to remind you that you rate Saw as one of the greatest films you've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Watched Rocky 6 last night. I'm a big fan of 1-4, but that was absolute dog shit. Bastards! I fully expected it to be shit, but was hoping against hope for some sort of worthy sign-off. Is it really crap then? Its full of 'emotional' rants from Rocky, like when the boxing board rejected his application he started screaming about how America is the land of the free and all this bollocks and he should be allowed to do what makes him happy. Then another one later to his son, goes from a normal conversation to Rocky just screaming at him about how he needs to better himself. Then the obligatory rubbish argument with Paulie. The fight was horrendous, much of it was in slow motion and a fair bit done through the blurry eyes of Rocky, which was cheese-tastic. I know Rocky has always been OTT in the fight scenes, but for a 60 odd year old man to take a 30 year old heavyweight champion to 10 rounds is just ridiculous!

Happy Face 29 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have Porco Rosso and Shaolin Soccer still in their wrapping to be watched. Shaolin Soccer is even better than Kung Fu Hustle, which shits on Ong Bak. Kung Fu Hustle >>> Shaolin Soccer imo... Never seen Ong Bak so can't really comment on that. Kung Fu Hustle is fucking hilarious man. They're both superb, but Shaolin Soccer is a work of genius. For those that haven't seen it. A youtuber has condensed it into 10 minutes for you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTxM8YTf_7w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I was thoroughly underwhelmed by Shaolin Soccer, but then I did watch it with a relentless football-hater, which probably didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Rocky Balboa - Shite. Very little to get involved in. The poor build up to a meaningless fight. The fact the lip sinc. went towards the end didnt help either Apocalypto - Sounds like a lolly, but was actually pretty good. Action kinda flick that kept you entertained throughout. Not a very deep plot, so it was easy to watch. But, worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35468 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Watched The Sting again last night. Quality. Watched Jarhead on Friday night. Enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sex, Lies and Videotape. Cracking. I hate James Spader too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35468 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Spader is a legend tbh. Him and Shatner in Boston Legal = TV Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Watched The Sting again last night. Quality. Watched Jarhead on Friday night. Enjoyed it. Great film (in the true sense of the word anarl). Quite liked Jarhead too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2319 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Lost In Translation - really enjoyed it tbh. Well acted with good dialogue and it managed to be funny and sad at the same time. Worth a watch. Excellent film. Can't go far wrong with Scarlett Johansson mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevieintoon Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Spader is a legend tbh. Him and Shatner in Boston Legal = TV Heaven. Two Fast, Two Furious - Tokyo Drift Without doubt the single worst film I've seen since Lawnmower Man 2. The acting is so pathetic, the story line absolutely shite, what a waste of 90 odd minutes of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Deja Vu. Was alright, bit of a silly plot though. Although if it wasn't for Denzel Washington it would've been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Moolaade - African film about female circumcision which is an ancient tradition over there. Sounds a bit of a slog, but it's actually full of good humour along with it's message. Recommended. The Consequences of Love - Starts like a slow brooding Kieslowskiesque meditation then turns into a pumped up thriller and ends as a mafia movie. It's fantastic. And Olivia Magnani has gone straight to the top of my sexiest women list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3279 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Night at the Museum. Has Robin Williams Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney in. What else does a film need. I really enjoyed it BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I started watching Brick last night and I am really enjoying it so far (except for some of the dialogue being barely audible and there being no subtitles on my disk). The main character comes across as Philip Marlowe in High School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
