yeah, saw Disturbia several weeks back, essentially a "teen" movie which I hate and didn't realize at the time.Originally Posted by Raheny Red
would recommend "The Look-out" though.

G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
gonna keep clear of disturbia then. Anybody seen death proof yet? Have seen very mixed reviews for it.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
I haven't seen it, but it looks like Tarantino fans are finding it okay, though nothing spectacular.
i've seen death proof and really enjoyed it. very cool film. although to be fair kurt russell is one of my favourite actors(ever since he put on the eye patch to play snake pliskin, even though technically that was before i was born LOL). death proof is not a typical tarrantino film , there is something which feels like an action movie about it, but i'd definitely reccomend seeing it, just for some of the car chase scenes if nothing else, performed by the actress involved, without a stunt double. very impressive.
i would also reccomend planet terror the otehr half of grindhouse, its amazing!!!
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
This being the professional stunt woman who's barely acted?
yeah, you'd never tell though, shes a pretty good actress IMHO, pulls the role off well.

Isn't Disturbia just a poor teenage re-hash of Rear Window? Haven't seen it (Disturbia), but thats what it comes across as
Yes pretty much so but the really disturbing thing is the number of movies Shia Le Boeuf has been in this summer. Move over Heath Ledger!

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Superbad is absolutely hilarious!!

Saw "Eastern Promises" last week, extremely laboured dialogue and the acting isn't great. But I got to see Viggo Mortensen naked in a sauna...mmmm...so that somewhat compensates for the bad acting. Some of the violence is pretty realistic, opening scen is especially gruesome.
Off to see Into the Wild this evening, written and directed by Sean Penn. Oscar material according to the critics, so hoping this is as good as they say.
Also seen Ratatouille last week. When it comes to storyline it's definetely not in the same league as Nemo and The Incredibles but still well worth seeing if you're into great animation. It's almost 2 hours long, a bit too long to bring the kids to, no?
Keep an eye out for American Gangster next week (Fri 16th). Gangster movie by Ridley Scott who's my favourite director.
Anyone else seen anything good lately?
Went to Saw 4 last Saturday having not been in the cinema in ages. More of the same really, not nearly as original as the first in the series and a few plot holes you could poke a mountain through, still if your into that kind of thing it'll keep you entertained.
Ended up back in the cinema again on the Sunday and it was a choice between Eastern Promises and Ratatouille, went for the lighter animation. It's good fun and the two hours went fast enough, was definitely a few restless kids though. The animation is phenomenal at times, the scene where the rats are washed down the river is truly spectacular.

passinginterest - agree on the animation and most part of Ratatouille is fast paced animation which I thought was well made.
Am a bit reluctant to Saw 4 as I didn't like the third installment at all. I think I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.
I can recommend 3:10 to Yuma. Went to see it without knowing anything about it and loved everything about it, acting, script, cinematography, music etc.
Went to Ratatouille with the youngfella a couple of weeks ago and thought it was good fun. Going to Elizabeth tonight I think, thought the first in the series was very good when I saw it on DVD recently; despite being incredibly annoyed by StupidFirstName Blanchett's looks.
Watched a classic last night, 2001: A Space Oddysey. For some strange reason I'd never actually seen it. The design and effects were brilliant, and some of the sci stuff that wasn't all that fi, for a movie made in '68. However in general the whole thing was a bit trippy for me. Worth watching, but never again I reckon.

Would definitely recommend Eastern Promises.
It's kind of like the Godfather meets . . . . eh . . . . . . . a Russian.

Saw the 3:10 to Yuma, in contrast to DIFCHick I thought it was one of the worst remakes ever, somewhere in the overkill remake genre. It defiles the original.
The original B&W 3:10 To Yuma is a B&W classic. It is tight and intense. Full of athmosphere where the tension slowly builds up, the farmer's (Van Hefflin) dilemma, the outlaw (Glenn Ford) trying to psyche him out in the hotel room and the get me to the station on time.
What you have with the remake
For every one bullit fired, now we have 1000
Instead of 3 or 4 deaths, we have 200
Instead of a farmer's wife, we have Gretchen Mol
Instead of an outlaw we have super-outlaw.
It has turned a totally believable plot into something that is all over the place, an adventure into science fiction.
Haven't read most of the previous posts so I'm guessing some of these will have come up already:
The Departed
A History Of Violence
The Learning Curve
The Girl Next Door
Saw (1+2, haven't seen 3 or 4)
It's so annoying, I've seen quite a few films on TV that I though were great but can't remember the name (you know those films, not a lot of big names, probably low-budget, and brilliant).
Ah yes, 'Debbie does Dallas' and 'Deep Throat'?
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
