[b]The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.[/b] - 10/10
Amazing movie. From the characters to the action, everything is awesome. Blondie is one intimidating badass, Tuco is a hilarious motherfucker, and they make the perfect duo. Angel Eyes is the one I loved to hate, I didn't particularly like him, but I didn't exactly feel ill of him either. The final scene was amazing, I don't think I've had my nerves pushed on in a movie before, but the ending scene was a very high tension moment, to say the least. It's one of my new favorites, and I've pushed watching it far too long.
[b]Lord of War[/b] - 8/10
This is my second time watching the movie, and I still think it's very good. It's a very interesting story with a different fuel of drama. Nicholas Cage isn't my favorite actor, I don't really like him much, but I felt he did pretty good as Yuri Orlov, he's had some moments where bullshit acting was noticeable, but it didn't effect the way he pulled it off in the long run.
[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;34874044][B]Real Steel[/B] 8/10
Nowhere near as bad as I expected. Jackman put out a great performance, and the kid was pretty good too. The robots were cleverly designed and well-animated. It's hard not to make comparisons to [I]Rocky[/I], but I thought some parts of it (especially near the end) were similar.
I'm not sure how I feel about the world, though. I think there weren't enough futuristic elements. I like how it was in the near enough future that there wouldn't have to be flying cars and automated everything, but the robots, laptops, and tvs seemed to be the only futuristic things. Venues blasting Eminem in 2027 is like a club playing '80s music today, and (apart from an XBox 720 gag) every single logo I saw was unchanged and there weren't any new advertisements; this took me out of it a little bit.[/QUOTE]
you probably know how I feel about this (I hate this movie), but, regarding the future: I really liked that part. Most people thought that in this decade, we'd have flying cars, holograms all around and robots walking amongst us, but we know that didn't happen, and it probably won't happen so soon.
can we talk about shows here too?

There needs to be a F&T General Discussion thread.
I'd rather have a separate film thread and a separate TV show thread

TV show thread probably wouldn't last very long.
but if you want to rate the last season of a series you watched, I don't see why not

Why? If it worked just like this one, I think it would be fine.

Nice and simple
I actually liked Signs, I don't even consider it a guilty pleasure, it's definitely M Night's best film right after Unbreakable.
[editline]26th February 2012[/editline]
Lady in the Water, now that's a guilty pleasure.
I like Signs more then M Night's other movies, it just has this really strange atmosphere to it that I really like, though The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are good movies.
Signs has a few good things, it goes to shit after halfway through, I think

The Room - 10/10
This movie brought me to tears. Tommy Wiseau is a gift from cinema based god himself.

Deserves an oscar

[I]The Artist[/I]
10/10
Such a treat. Touched all my emotions. I loved it.
Has anyone watched STALKER?
The Change up:
Entertainment value 7/10
Actual movie value 3/10
It had some cheap laughs and was extremely low brow. Lots of sex jokes, lots of offensive things. What people look for in this type of movie.
But it had a lot of things wrong with it.
First of all they do not establish any sort of relationship between the two characters. So you have no idea why they're interacting in the way they do. They develop in such an odd way that you there is no real conclusion. And they tried to hard to add some emotional value to it. I just wanted a raunchy comedy, not a drama about love and marriage and shit. Especially if the lawyers in the movie (Who should be the most serious) are bumbling idiots.
Missed the oscars, how'd it go?
[editline]27th February 2012[/editline]
wow the artist won it all.
NOT OSCAR BAIT NOT OSCAR BAIT.

9/10? It was that good? It didn't looked like a movie that would had gotten that high.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: 7.0/10
The Iron Lady: 7.5/10 [sp]Got disappointed they didn't make the scene where Margaret thanked the SAS team personally back on 1980.[/sp]
I couldn't stand it. Lasted about an hour and then turned it off. It was way too jumpy, I hated all of the characters, and it just jumped from one little plotline to the other.

Easy A that is
