Holden McGroin 4855 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Got round to watching Pan's Labyrinth. Loved it. I think it was canofbeans who said it was a natural follow-up to 'Spirit of the Beehive' (also excellent) and he's spot on there imo. It's a beautifully poignant film. Good movie. A mix of brtual gritty war and childrens fantasy. Strange combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the fantasy world is a metaphor for the young lass escaping the horrible reality of her home life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Mr and Mrs Smith and if it wasn't for Jolie giving me the horn everytime she was on screen then it wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in my dvd player. Awful, awful film. Mind, I'm probably biased as I think Pitt is the most overated actor of this generation. Wooden as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Got round to watching Pan's Labyrinth. Loved it. I think it was canofbeans who said it was a natural follow-up to 'Spirit of the Beehive' (also excellent) and he's spot on there imo. It's a beautifully poignant film. Still can't past the first twenty minutes of that. Sweeney Todd. I'm not a massive musical fan and the ones I do like usually have more dialogue than this but I quite enjoyed it. Depp is excellent as ever and his cockney accent has improved since From Hell (it's still pretty poor though) but Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter steal a portion of the film off him. As always with Tim Burton films it looks gorgeous and the violence is pretty grusome (definitely deserving of the 18 rating). Overall not bad but not one of my favourite Depp or Burton films.

You were staring at her chebs weren't you? Burton might be in her bad books though; he spent a good while lingering on the non too shabby shirt potatoes of that Joanna lass.

Kid Dynamite 5906 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 John Rambo - Slow starter and felt a bit short overall, but the action scenes were ace, and probably the most violent/graphic seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4855 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Cloverfield. Different, yet the same. I half agree with Happy Face as I think it did play on the fear of terrorism in New York City quite a bit. I'd say you also have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this movie.
