[QUOTE=Mooe94;37160408]that movie has one of the greatest sad moments of all time in cinema history in my opinion[/QUOTE] IMO that goes to World's Greatest Dad, another robin williams movie coincidentally

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37158064]Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 6/10 It's truly BEYOND me, it fucking BAFFLES me how the fridge part in KotCS is apparently the worst moment in Indy history when it comes to realism (disregarding the face-melting ark but that's magic and it kills nazi bad guys so that gets a free ride) and it, and KotCS in general, completely ruined the franchise forever yet nobody ever complains about the movie with 3 people dropping out of a plane in an inflatable raft, surviving that fall with no injuries or damage to the boat and dropping off a fucking MASSIVE cliff into a river with again no injuries or damage to the boat. Also, Willie has got to be one of the most annoying and useless characters I've EVER seen. She literally does fucking NOTHING. She doesn't contribute to the story, she doesn't say anything meaningful, she just. Does. Nothing.[/QUOTE] wow, stop moaning. temple of doom is an absurdly ridiculous movie, I saw that for the first time when i was about 5 and it never stops being hilariously fun. MOLA RAM SUDA RAM.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;37163773]I never said it wasn't fun. But I find it kind of hard to ignore an annoying piece of shit of a character when she's constantly around.[/QUOTE] you're right about that. she's Spielberg's wife which makes it all the more crazy.

[QUOTE=AK'z;37163808]you're right about that. she's Spielberg's wife which makes it all the more crazy.[/QUOTE] To be fair, she didn't marry him until 7 years later so Spielberg gets a free pass as far as I'm concerned.

Highlander 8/10 Pretty rad movie and Sean Connery is awesome in it.

[B]Tekkonkinkreet[/B] 2006 Ok, so it was really late when I watched this so I decided to wait until morning to write a review. I give it a 9/10. It’s about how 2 orphaned kids fight back against the yakuza that are planning on taking over parts of the town. It was definitely one of the weirdest films I have ever seen, It’s really emotionally deep, and quite violent. After a quick Google search I found out that its rated 12 over here, which I think was a mistake, near the end it gets quite twisted, it just becomes how a kid becomes insane and starts to murder.

[QUOTE=John the Gr8;37157710]The Dictator 6.5/10 Had some good laughs, but I just can't rate it more than that...[/QUOTE] I would rate it atleast 8.5. I was expecting it to be mediocre since he strayed away from his Ali G characters but it was a great comedy. Plus his speech at the end was so spot on.

saw The Grey. Aesthetically okayish. But realistically it was a fairly cliched experience that didn't really draw me in. There were bits that surprised me in terms of character development but as a whole.. I didn't need to watch it. to conclude, not intense.. but in places, like how people think about death, quite good. I know exactly why Neeson accepted the role, his wife passed away in a skiing accident. So in that sense it's pretty depressive to watch reality in his performance. Not his best though.

Anonymous 7/10

A Scanner Darkly (2007) 83/100

real steel a.k.a robot-boxing. The ideea was nice, but the movie was made for kids. Has clishees and moment withou logic. Like: Zeus run out of battery?! Serously!? [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] should i watch the dictator?

saw The [I]Amazing[/I] Spiderman. firstly, the screen was ridiculously small (only 4 rows and literally 8 people inside). In a sense the cinematic experience was vastly different than anything else, I'll have to see more to make a choice as to whether it's superior or not. as for the movie... vastly different to the prior three. As in.. I'm now a bit weary in taking my 6 year old nephew. There were surreal elements here that were very [I]fierce[/I] (as the little dude actually said after it was finished) as compared to the first three which pretty much "played it safe" in respects to what children can watch. This dude has seen Jurassic Park though.. so I'm pretty sure he'll thank me when he's older for what his parents really want to shield him from. It's a challenge to the senses and this movie provided probably his most intense cinematic experience of his life so far. For me, I won't call it truly great, it's no Spiderman 2. But for an attempt at driving the character in a new place, credit where it's due. They did a good job. They did a much more invigorating show in how the dude gains the power and DEFINITELY one that hits harder in terms of how his uncle is killed. Whom (Martin Sheen) also was vastly superior to the original personality of the uncle. What a casting decision.. The main dude also surprised, I expected "generic teenager", but he pulled something out of the bag in order to bring his pain into a reality. In other words, there is no: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jJ9sQTX4EE[/url] I would be bothered to talk about action/villain bsns, but can't be asked.. it would spoil it tbh. But I'll say the way in which he was "defeated" was fairly unexpected and uplifting.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended) - 9/10 Didn't feel like 280 mins at all but I did feel like the ending(s) dragged on a bit.

[QUOTE=Scot;37172168]The Lord of the Rings 280 mins dragged on a bit.[/QUOTE] i hear that a lot.

28 Days Later 9/10 completely forgot how damn good this is

I'm still biding time. And still have no clue as to whether I should see the extended/theatrical cuts. :-(

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37172759]I'd suggest the extended cuts. At least with Fellowship of the Ring. [/QUOTE] yeah but I have the original dvd. [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] okay, I'll get the extended. then I'll think some more and contemplate. [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] appreciate the advice man.

[B]Room In Rome (2010)[/B] I'd heard this was just softcore lesbian porn but that it was beautifully shot so I took a chance. It's pretty much all set in a hotel room and the 2 characters spend the entire film naked. I will summarise the entire thing, sex scene / deep conversation, sex scene / deep conversation, zzzzzzzzz. Fuck this film. The sex scenes in places were real, both actresses were feeding the pony but so what. I hated the Ukrainian actress, she was totally fake and Elena Anaya is a cunt because she tries to get all the roles about transexual or lesbian characters because she is a bisexual in real life. Acting is about becoming somebody else, not endulging your social statements or munching some slag off in a hotel room. [B]Ned Kelly (2003)[/B] Heath Ledgers usually a good watch and he was just as good in this as anything he's been in. Supporting cast was ok but the little used Kerry Condon as one of his sisters shows great promise. The story was about an unwilling outlaw who ends up being a victim of circumstance and lets a situation get out of hand. Heres the problem, by the end I didn't really care. Watchable but forgettable.

God Bless America. 10/10 Fucking hilarious and brutally true.

Has facepunch been shit for anyone else over the last couple weeks? Half of the time I cannot get it to load properly and when I try to go into a subforum I get some random icon 90% of the time and nothing else. [QUOTE=Tosas;37158137]The Hunger Games Well I haven't read the books but it's the usual, everybody is whining how they are better and yet I have no time, so I decided to go with the movie. Kids slaughtering each other, fun stuff. pretty brutal I must say. I liked the movie, but didn't enjoy the ending [sp] I wish they would've went with that poison berry way, that couple thing was too cheesy, I would've enjoyed seeing them as iconic tributes who stood against the rules or something like that. Liam Hemsworth's character (Gale) felt useless and with no point. It seems as if they tried to create that "love triangle" tension but it didn't work.[/sp] Pretty much it, I could be a nitpicky piece of shit and name every small detail I didn't like but that's just sad. I'll give it a 7/10[/QUOTE] The Hunger Games is one of the worse book to movie adaptations in my opinion. They completely remove several defining scenes from the book and skim over the ones that were left in the movie so they can pack in more of the battle itself, which was a let down. Characters like Gale, Haymitch, Cinna and his entire crew, and I am sure more were all done poorly. They could have been removed from the movie and it would have made minimal impact to what you actually seen even though all of them have much deeper and fleshed out plots in the books. They tried to make a PG Battle Royale and that is exactly what they did.

The Dictator 7/10 The Grey 8/10

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37175319]Not as bad as watching "The Dark Knight" for the first time on opening weekend and having to piss during the interrogation scene with The Joker. I could barely concentrate. I swear, the piss I took afterward must have lasted 45 seconds or so. I didn't want to leave. Same went with the new Nolan Batman movie about halfway through. I hate when that happens in the theater. At least when you're at home you can pause the movie or whatever. In the theater, you're fucked. ON THAT NOTE Spirited Away- 9/10[/QUOTE] Yeah I had to go for most of TDKR, but I held it in like a champ. Also man, those blackouts in ROTK are what really got me, every time they happened I thought the movie was over, getting ready to rush out of the theater, NOPE.avi, there's still another scene, rinse & repeat.

This is why I love the fact that we have breaks or 'intermissions' or whatever you wanna call them, in most theaters here in the Netherlands.

Eastern Promises - 8/10 Dat Bathhouse scene.

Eastern Promises was pretty good but Cronenberg is at his best when he's weird and disgusting. Check out Videodrome if you haven't already, it rules. [editline]11th August 2012[/editline] Oh, The Tracey Fragments - 9/10 Best coming of age story ever, fuck The Breakfast Club.

[B]Wrath of the Titans (2011)[/B] Predictable, rushed, poor acting, terrible effects in places, boring, pointless and full of plot holes if you can call it a plot. I must be fucking stupid, I remember going to see the first one at the 3d cinema and felt like tearing my eyes out because it was so bad and then I put myself through this. It wasn't as bad as the first but thats like saying somebody chewing your fingers off is less painful than having a hand up your muff and ripping out as much as it can. How the fuck did they get some of these actors to do this shit again, oh yes, by using the same trickery to fool me in to watching it again. I'm a sucker for stuff on ancient Greece but this was 100 minutes of my life that could have been used to kill myself instead. Stay away from Titan films.
