Film you recently watched: Part 2

Wall Street 2 - Decent, but should have been much better

X Files 2 - Really enjoyed it. Much better than the first movie

Deadly Crossing - Best Seagal flick since 2003

 

Watched Bless This House on Channel 4 yesterday afternoon. Shamefully, I enjoyed it.

 

Interesting development in the Unit 731 story.

The Economist: Atonement hard to see as a housing block is demolished to search for more victims of Unit 731.

 

I bet I wouldn't. It was ****ing boring as watching **** steam.

 

at the end of the movie when i discovered it was a true story i realised just how much of a one off chinatown was. how could you not do better with such fascinating subject material? like the blind side, it was a movie people seem to enjoy because they like the story that inspired it while seemingly ignoring the grossly boring event unfolding infront of their eyes

 

Saw the film 'Blow' recently, based on the life of an American cocaine smuggler (George Jung). Hadn't heard of it before I watched it but well worth a watch imo.

 

Sat and watched Point Break on Sunday as it had been filling up my Sky+ for ages. Possibly the greatest Keanu Reeve surfing based movie he has done!

 

Made me want to smuggle cocaine.

 

Class film, very well acted imo

 

Just watched The Departed. What happened to the envelope Costigan left with the girl to open if anything happened to him?

 

Just watched Jonny Depp play J.M. Barrie in the story of Peter Pan.

Lovely film.

:sign15:

 

Watched Paranormal Activity 2 last night. Having surround sound with a kick a55 bass made the whole thing 10 times more terrifying. I was uncomfortable throughout.

 

Saw Paul on Friday. It was okay, some funny moments but the story was a bit off with too many characters that didn't add anything to the story such as the Dad and the old woman. Not up with Shawn of the Dead or even Hot Fuzz to be honest.

 

Not expecting it too. Different director, not part of the blood and ice cream trilogy. The final installment is out next year...

 

Saw The Kings Speech, thought it was excellent.

 

Due Date - 7.5/10

The Town - 8.5/10

 

Really under rated I thought. Probably the best film I have seen in the last 6 months.

 

Watched Looking For Eric again last night, I really like that film. If you've not watched it before DON'T READ THE NEXT BIT (instead, go buy/rent it and watch it).

What struck me once again was how unlikely a film it was to have a happy ending.

 

The Dark Knight : 4/10

Several plot holes and the moral lessons within the characters is completely thrown out of the window in the film scene.

 

the human centipede. man thats one *****D up film!

 

Just watched Kick Ass.

Best film I've seen in years:sign15:

 

I loved the dark knight, really good film IMO

Agreed. Much better than I thought it would be and there is a sequel on the way...

 

Excellent.

 

Are you mad?!

Agreed. Load of old sh*t really.

Kick Ass is brilliant, can't wait for the sequel.

 

The King's Speech - Wasn't expecting to enjoy it, after all, who cares about some King, who's dead, who had a stutter? However, was more than pleasantly surprised. Mr. Darcy was brilliant, but out acted by Rush, who is superb. Mrs. Goth, weirdo woman was awful as usual, insisting on playing the Queen Mum as a quirky, odball, as she is wont to do with all her roles.

Overall a pleasant, little film. 7/10

Due date - really delivered the ridiculous, obvious laughs which hangover fans were expecting - 8/10

 

Splinter. Everything you want from a horror film. Dark, jumpy and lots of blood etc.

 

No, I genuinely thought it was poor. I never read the comic books so maybe that's why.

 

Brooklyn's Finest - 6.5/10.

 

I agree with you. It was terrible. I remember discussing with my friends who all thought it was better than indiana jones and i disagreed.

 

Watched True Grit on the plane last night. Very nice little film. Perfectly wrapped up in true Cohen Brothers fashion.

 

Also stuck on a long haul plane last week, so got through...

True Grit.. 9/10, brilliant
Wall Street 2.. 2/10 Most disappointing
The Kings Speech.. 8/10 (last 15 mins dragged a little)
Monsters.. 7/10 Enjoyable budget sci-fi/romance
Megamind.. 5/10 got bored so turned it off before finish

 

just finished watching 'into the wild' and have to say its one of the most beautiful films i've ever seen. the cinematography was just stunning and the fact that it's based on a true story makes it even more special. would truly recommend watching it.

 

Buried - 8/10.
