My highlight (apart from the obvious 'we need to find a library - and fast') was the bits where he'd stare at a phrase and the letters would light up. Is he one of the X-Men or something? "Quick Bobby, use your crypto-vision to solve it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like mine, they'd still be trying now, those things are beyond shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada Fan-bloody-tastic. Even though it's won a shitload of awards and is probably the best film of last year, still it gets very limited coverage because it wasn't nominated for any oscars. Set on the Texas/Mexico border, Tommy Lee Jones is a farmer. When one of his illegal immigrant workers gets unintentionally killed by a border patrol no-one is willing to do anything about it. Jones gets justice his own way on behalf of Melquiades. Cross Unforgiven with Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia and you get something approximating the tone of this film. The fact that Tommy Lee Jones is a better actor than Clint Eastwood and a better director than Sam Pekinpah elevates it above both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Versus. I'm a fan of Japanese films often but this was shite. It had some entertainment value in that it was so cheesy but basically it was cheap, muddled, badly acted and just plain daft. It got a few laughs but I can't help thinking the joke was on me for renting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Jap film fan I know keeps telling me to watch it but I've always thought it looked shite. Wossy waves about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been good but it so cheap man. Some cheap films have a lot of charm but this one didn't really. Like I said though, it's canny funny and the two hours only dragged a bit. Not one I'd recommend though. A mate told me to get it out and the same lad had the cheek to tell me he thought 'Old Boy' was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Cradle of Fear Fuck me, look past the terrible camera and first anthology, then you have a rather chilling horror flick! Not meant to be taken seriously obviously, but "The Sick Room" skit is vile! If you're a Cradle of Filth fan, or want to watch one of those movies that are so shite they're brilliant, then it's a must see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnz0r 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The last movie in which i seen was Hostel and I must say it was fucking awful. Really woeful and bland story backed up by really poor acting. I would be ashamed if my name was put on the movie; especially Quentin Tarantino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Constantine -Not great, but if you have a 8 hour bus journey it helps pass the time... I-Robot - Quite good i thought. All ways been a fan of Will Smith though. Hostage - I thought it was really good, but I was not sure if this was in comparison to having just seen Constantine or not. Plus Bruce Willis never jumped over a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 The New World Fantastic cinematography, but dreadfuly boring, with boringly sentimental monologues, Colin Farrell once again demonstrates his ability to do any accent as long as it's Irish.

One of the stupidest decisions i've seen in films, alogn with actually releasing Alexander at all as it was a dull pile of shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9235 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 with Alexander, did you not feel that they rammed the fact that he was gay down your throat (no pun intended) at every opportunity? I also thought Alexander was supposed to be a charismatic leader... Farrel was anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
