Movie review thread...
-
I'm in awe of Johnny Leiberman for writing that and will be cutting and pasting it on for a few mates to read. Simply outstanding. Around June last year myself and a few of the boys went to the rapa on a fishing trip and once the ireland test was over we put this movie on the dvd player eusa_whistle eusa_think we've all got wives or girlfriends does that make us as gay as Johnny makes out ? <br />
<br />
Ummmmm anyway all I'll say is that Bill Duke should have been the main bad guy as in real life ( much like Arnie ) I'm sure he'd be able to kick seven shades of shit out of Bennett. We also did the obligatory bodycount attempt, in the first half it is easy as he does one every ten minutes or so.....in the later scenes ? forget it.....especially after a few beers and whiskeys....<br />
<br />
Fuck Commando is a brilliant film, anyone who doesn't agree is a dick. -
Watched I am Legend and Rock'n'Rolla over the weekend.<br />
<br />
I am Legend - not what I or the wife expected ... I would give it a 7/10 though. Will Smith was alright, until he killed his dog, the bastard.<br />
<br />
Rock'N'Rolla - not watched a Guy Ritchie movie before, was quite entertaining. A few hysterical moments in it [spoiler:23fbm2r9]stealing the 7 million euros from the russian mobsters followed by said mobsters trying to get the money back[/spoiler:23fbm2r9] ... 8/10 -
Taken with Liam Neeson.<br />
<br />
The premise is that Neeson is an estranged father and some bad guys abduct his 17 year old daughter. He promiese to forget it if they let her go or hunt them down and kill them if they don't. In order to make a film last longer than 10 minutes they decline to release her and Neeson goes on the rampage.<br />
<br />
Ha eis pretty good in it and all in all it's a good yarn but bugger me it's a shite ending.<br />
<br />
8/10 for me. -

<br />
He plays the hardman pretty damn well in that but the movie is ruined by it going completely unrealistic in the end in the way he kills all the baddies with such ridiculous ease ala Jean Claude Van Damme. <br />
<br />
Still have always rated Neeson, sad to hear about his wife. -
Last night got out Rock n Rolla - same as Hooroo, want the disc now! And Body of Lies was awesome too, going to rewatch it without the bird asking dumb questions tonight probably. <br />
<br />
Both on blu-ray. Shit it's awesome clarity, but i need to hook up some surround sound. -

been canned as the Copyrighters could not come up with decent regulations to put forward so ISPs didn't have to deal with it based solely on accusation....<br />
<br />
Finally watched Get Smart...avoided as had heard lots of bad things. <br />
<br />
I liked it, a bit silly, but then the series was hardly serious; 6.8/10.<br />
<br />
BTW, Anne Hathaway has rocketed up my rankings.... -

She does have a sensational body (gets her cans out in some rubbish movie about rich girls and hispanic gangsters) but she has the face of a 50 year old woman. it's a wierd mix.<br />
<br />
Loving the classics people are reliving here, Commando rocks, Point Break rocks too. I just got Conan on DVD, brilliant!! Arnie is huge!! and can barely speak! Quality. -

If you want quality Arnie you CAN NOT go past Hercules in New York, I grabbed this DVD at the warehouse for $2.99 ( no shit ). That was where it all began and he is just enormous in that. Some farkin awful dialogue and he couldn't even speak English and had to be dubbed ! I'm pretty certain this movie was made on a shoestring budget but one of the highlights was him riding a chariot through the streets of NYC. Hard to believe he became the biggest star in the world after starring in such top quality rubbish but there y'go...only in America. -

Not too mention the Governor of California.<br />
Yeah Ann Hathaway is a weird one, plain looking normally but has a great bod -
[b]MAN ON WIRE[/b]<br />

Genius on all levels. -
[quote name='MN5']Still have always rated Neeson, sad to hear about his wife.[/quote]<br />
<br />
She was great, and her death was a shock. Always rated her highly in the lead roles of "Patty Hearst" and grossly underappreciated "Handmaid's Tale." RIP Tasha. -

All I remember of that movie was someone getting attacked by a horde of people and coming out minus a head !! mind you only saw a few minutes of it !! -
BOdy of LIes; Crowe & Dicaprio 7.0/10 <br />
<br />
Dicaprio an undercover CIA operative in the middle east. Really like Dicaprio as an actor nowadays.<br />
<br />
Twilight; 7.2/10<br />
<br />
Teen vampire romance, a couple more to be made...my biggest issue is the different take on what vampires can and cannot do, is nothing sacred? <br />
<br />
Bedtime stories; Adam Sandler - 5.1/10<br />
<br />
Pretty average silly movie. -
I saw [b]Twilight[/b] on opening weekend, and the muted gothic colour palette and thin plot made me sleepy. I guess I'll give it [color=#FF0000]6/10[/color], but might re-assess if I ever see it again.<br />
<br />
I watched Guy Maddin's [b]My Winnipeg[/b] yesterday. [color=#FF0000]9/10[/color]. Another beautiful visual gem from Maddin. His last feature, from a few years ago, "The Saddest Music In the World" (Mark McKinney, Isabella Rossellini) was one of my fave films of that year, and although this new one is visually similar, the narrative is stylistically dissimilar, this one being a pseudo-documentary with mostly Maddin's voiceover, and only spare dialogue between a few family members. This film is short, only runs about 85 mins. A bit goofy in places, but at the end I had a big stupid grin on my face. The sequence about his sister killing a deer with the family truck, and the one about ice hockey and the Winnipeg Jets leaving the NHL and the city debacle about the old and new arenas was hilarious and bittersweet for any person from a smaller-sized city that lost a beloved pro sports franchise. As always when recommending Maddin, his films are so different and otherworldly that you'll think him either a master or a charlatan. Many people find his films unwatchable, but I have been hooked on his work for many years.
