Jimbo 133 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Just watched Gladiator again for the first time in a year or two, that film blew me away when I saw it for the first time at the cinema, and still does now, for me its one of the best films ever.

snakehips 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Went to see Lucky Number Slevin last night. Still more angry about the brain-dead lass sitting behind me which clouds my ability to tell you whether it was good or not Average I would say. Some clever dialogue at times and some good humour but not exactly rivetting. Edited March 19, 2006 by snakehips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Watched House on The Haunted Hill at work last night. My word - what a bag of shite. Also went to see Walk The line on Friday night which I enjoyed very much. A story of the pitfalls of stardom and a true love story. Fab.

Renton 17859 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I was looking after my nephews on Friday night and they chose "Sky High" from the DVD shop. I was pretty skeptical about it but it was really good as it happens. It's a Disney film primarily aimed at kids but with plenty to give an adult a laugh too. Basically, it's a cross between the Incredibles and Harry Potter, with noticeable elements of other films like Mean girls and Pretty in Pink. So not original then, but it combined all these elements really well and probably surpassed all the films it plagiarised. So if you're baby sitting kids, or just want to watch the first decent non-animated Disney film in years, try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab. 108019[/snapback] Thanks for the report on the Jonny Cash film. I was debating whether or not to go and see it but will now go (some time). 108027[/snapback] I'd been DYING to see it since it was announced. I would have went to the cinema but got so annoyed by people who can't not piss, shit, fart, eat or talk for 2 hours I vowed never to go again. Anyway I finally got to watch the DVD last week and by christ was it worth the wait. I watched History of Violence the other day and believed the leads were married, I'd never seen 2 performers work so well with each other. Until Walk the Line. Phoenix and Witherspoon are perfect. There are moments when I bounced up and down with excitement. Moments when I was sure that Phoenix must be Johnny Cash reincarnated because there is no telling them apart. There's the whole argument about impression over performance. Many actors find something about the part they play and focus on it. So Ray last year had Jamie Foxx doing a very creditable impression where he wobbled his head and squeakily giggled, or even Capote this year where Philip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant, but never makes you think "I'm not actually sure if that's Hoffman or Capote". River Phoenix doesn't do Cashisms (well he does point his guitar like a gun, and he does holler the first word of a verse like a trains horn as his guitar does the tracks), but as Cash the person as well as the performer he has an intensity I've never seen before. Perfect film. I also saw Serenity, wich was average. I did catch myself thinking George Lucas could learn a thing or two from watching it though.

luckyluke 1 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Saw V for Vendetta last night - I was pretty impressed. Very topical with the theme of a government using the threat of terrorism to take away civil liberties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Dodgeball - Excellent, very predictable and a bit cheesy but very funny. I thought Ben Stiller was excellent, and I'm not really a fan of his. Mr and Mrs Smith - Now ranked No 2 behind The Fast and the Furious as the worst film I've ever had the misfortune to watch. If Brad Pitt get's more wooden he'll be declared a national park forest. Jolie is just as bad, no chemistry between them and halfway through I'd reached a point where I just didn't care what happened to either of them. They could have died for all I cared, at least then the film would have ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Audition last night. It had lots of levels but I was a little underwhelmed to be honest; horrific moments but not a horror. I really enjoyed Gozu but this just didn't cut it for me.

manc-mag 1 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Watched the first half hour of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' last night. Looked canny good but I feel to sleep cos I was knackered. Is the rest of it worth watching? Bear in mind it was a copy DVD hence I'd be aiding and abetting prostition and terrorism (as per previous posts), so it needs to be worth the trade off with my conscience.

adios 717 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Similar theme, nice backpacking holiday goes a little awry in Eastern Europe. My holiday options are getting more and more limited, got to stop watching these movies. Apparently Wolf Creek is loosely based on the Joanna Leese story, very fucking loosely, obviously.
