Watched Grizzly Man Last night. Very enjoyable and very interesting. 5/5
District 9. Original and good fun. Go see it.
Films I watched in last week or so
The Damned united http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1226271
I know there is the big debate over what was truw and what was not, but still a very entertaining film,thought Michael Sheen was great a Clough. 8.5/10
The Good Shepard http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343737
About the birth of the CIA thought this would be good as it start Matt Damon, Robert DeNiro, Michael Gambon and Alec Baldwin. But found it very slow and booring and turned it off after a bit over an hour 4/10
Anvil http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1157605
Documentry about Canadian Metal Band Anvil. Brilliant film one of the best I've see in a long time. Heart really went out to them. 10/10
Watched the Dark Knight just now and have to say was not impressed. Certainly not my favourite Batman movie but then havent been able to warm to Christian Bale as batman. He is too wooden, no personality and will never beat Val Kilmner.
watched Big Fish (2003) on the box last night. Seen it before but stands up to repeat viewings. Great movie.
Funny People- went in with low expectations, turned out to be a bit disappointing. Passable effort but way too long. 3/5
The Orphan- went in with low expectations as film I wanted to see was sold out, far better than I thought it would be, a thrilling horror movie with an ingenious twist. 4/5
Seen Final Destination in 3D last Friday,not as good as the original but a decent effort.
Saw Up last sunday. Wonderful, wonderful film.
Pixar are making movies that are computer animated, everyone other studio seems to be making computer animated movies.
If that makes any sense?
saw frequently asked questions about time travel the other day, enjoyable film, nice and short to at an hour and 20mins, and anna faris is also in it, not to bad when shes not annoyingly blonde (due to here hair being dark for most of the film) 7/10
hmm well it seems to cop a lot of stuff from that 80s(?) sci-fi movie 'alien nation' - but it could be just that there are old farts like me who remember crappy b-movies better than good ones. i would see it though, it looks a bit like 'children of men' in tone, which i loved.
'moon' - bohspartisan rec'd this very highly i believe, i'll have to rent it, looks fantastic, i own both the original solaris (clooney/soderbergh one was a joke) and 2001 so this slow-paced paranoid sci-fi seems right up my alley. bohspartisan have you ever seen 'stalker'?
Doesn't know whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama. I was practically begging for it to end - couldn't believe how long it was!
Just watched Fast & Furious on DVD. I really don't know how or why this series is still going. It's been maybe 8 years since I saw the original and absolutely nothing changed, but I guess that's the point of sequels.
Watched 50 Dead Men Walking...oh dear oh dear.
Just watched The Wrestler...don't think anything happened in it really?:confused:
It's nothing like Alien Nation.....it's the first film I've seen in a long time that is an original idea. Not a re-make/ re-hash/rip off. The aliens take a bit of getting used to...but once you get over that, it's brilliant. Of course it's a total reflection of Apartheid in Africa. The main actor is excellent. One of the best performances I've seen all year. And considering the budget the special effects are top notch. Go see it.Quote:
