Movie review thread...

Watched The Eagle yesterday . Thought on the whole it was quite well done but a little cheesy in places . Still enjoyed it and worth watching .

[quote name='Mokey']That is cos it's awesome, Richard Curtis is a genius. The best ensemble movie ever. Shits all over dross like Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Further proof that women aren't from mars, in fact it's probably a whole other solar system.<br />
<br />
Richard Curtis is the living embodiement of Satan himself, look at his filmography<br />

I left off Warhorse because it looks very cool. -
took TR Jnr to see Tintin this afternoon.<br />
<br />
Enjoyable film, the animation is brilliant, the 3D is quite subtle I thought.<br />
<br />
One very annoying thing about 3D, watching the trailers beforehand; they show a number of other 3D trailers and show alot of 3D moments, which was quite painful on the eyes. -
I watched the worst rom com in the history of the world the other day. The Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez. If the lady in your life even hints about watching this, [B]RUN[/B].<br />
<br />
(Unless of course you find hilarity in the thought of doctors doing internal exams on preggy chicks then waving their blood-coated fingers around. Or perhaps someone falling into a recently used birthing pool.)<br />
<br />
It was so fucking awful I can hardly bear to think about it, but had to post the warning. -
Hi....I like sylvester stallone movies specially rombo...All parts of this movie are really amazing. I just love all these parts of RAMBO....!
-
The Rite - Anthony Hopkins. About exorcisms. NOt bad, not great, don't pay to see it though, wait for it to hit Sky. 6/10. Good rainy afternoon fodder.<br />
<br />
and come chick flick that Mrs B got out. Plain horrib;e. 0/10. Can't remember name so just avoid all chick flicks in case it is this one for the rest of your life. -
My son recommended I watch The Social Network so he hired it out yesterday afternoon. Wasn't too bad but he sloped off to his computer a quarter of the way through and my daughter and I watched the rest of it whilst also on our laptops - she was on the net and I was doing a search on Ancestry.com. A sign of the times! Kind of zoned in and out of the movie-funny how the guy who created Facebook was such a socially inept and at times downright spiteful, mean spirited character.

haha, yeah I watched it the other night too, the genre it is listed under on IMDB is alittle deceiving; Action, Drama, Sci-fi...I'd put more under Fantasy, Family (could add sport to it as it is one of your usual david vs goliath American sports flicks) as I know my 6 year old would love it! <br />
<br />
All that being said, was an easy watch! -
Watched three movies yesterday thanks to the crap weather.<br />
<br />
The Black Swan - reeeeeeeally a bit disturbing. Arty bloody ballet stuff with lots of psychotic characters who do nasty stuff.<br />
Paul - funny Brit flick, two guys pick up an on the run alien hitchhiker.<br />
Get him to the Greek - some parts of this movie were so bloody funny I was nearly crying. -
I saw Tintin in 3D and it was a huge improvement over the only other 3D movie I've seen (Tron), but I still don't really get the big deal of it, I think I prefer good old 2D.<br />
<br />
Tintin was a good movie although I was a little annoyed how it was plainly a set up for the sequel(s).<br />
<br />
Does anyone else think that Haddock actually looks like Peter Jackson?<br />
<br />
Moneyball - I thought it was a great film, very interesting and I wonder if they use any of the same methods in rugby?<br />
<br />
Scream 4 - I thought this was a decent return to form. -
I'll have to give the 4th thumps up for moneyball. Watched it yesterday and thought it was great. I don't follow Baseball so had no idea how it ended which made it (for me) even better.<br />
<br />
Drive is the other really good movie I've watched recently.<br />
<br />
Some of the ones I wished I'd never seen, Blue Valentine as it bored me to tears, Tree of Life as there is only about 30mins of actual story and Tintin I just didn't get in to. Though I never liked the Tintin books so no surprise there. -
Watched Bridesmaids because someone had told me it was like a female version of the Hangover . Thought it had some mildly funny bits but on the whole was absolute rubbish .
