The Bourne Identity 7.4/10

The Bourne Supremacy 7.6/10

The Bourne Ultimatum 7.9/10

 

Great trilogy that.

 

The Day the earth stood still. Keanu Reeves. 5.6/10 Not that good, but not utterly shit either.

[RedinSweden]

Up - 10/10. Quite literaly; outstanding.

 

Is it out in the UK? I really want to see that, but it isn't coming here until fecking October apparently.

[arteviste]

Man Bites Dog - 8/10

 

Bleak, brutal, bonkers, brilliant.

 

Clockwork Orange meets American Psycho, replete with the most realistic rape scene in Belgian cinematic history.

I viewed it via, er, other means!

 

Not out til October here either.

Public Enemies - 7/10. All the way through I just felt like there was something missing. Can't put my finger on it though. Good performances, good story, good characters and good direction.

 

All the ingredients are there. I don't know what it was missing but it should have been far better.

 

Exactly what I thought. I came out of the cinema thinking "good film but should have been a great film". Maybe it was the script or the overdone close-ups - just didn't grip you like it should have. (and the tommy gun fights were piss poor too).

Didn't you also think the handheld filming technique was really out of place in a period piece?

 

It also looked too 'clean.'

 

I really don't want to compare it to 'Heat' but I suppose that was always going to happen with Michael Mann making another crime film. Compared to 'Heat' this is shit. As a stand alone film though, it's still better than most of the shite that comes out within the genre.

Agree with all that. I enjoyed it but was disappointed overall.

That'd be the case for most films though, so it's not that harsh a criticism.

Granted, but I'm just talking in terms of how these two match up as they're both directed by Michael Mann.

 

I also think he tried too hard with the 'both sides of the same coin' angle between Dillinger and Purvis. It just didn't work.

Heat is shit. There I said it.

[Da Bitch]

Sink the Bismark 5/10 okish seen better war movies

[sybian]

Cloverfield ,a lot better than I expected, 9/10.

[Ted]

In The Loop - 8/10. Some of the best insult hurling I've ever witnessed. Sharp as fuck, too.

[The Special One]

Up! was brilliant. 9/10.

[The Special One]

The Hangover.. 10/10. Watch it, watch it, watch it.

[redheart]

The Hangover.....is good but not illegall. It is morally frowned upon like masturbating on a plane! 8/10

[El Rojo]

Spoorlos/The Vanishing

 

The Dutch original from 1988, not the Hollywood remake.

 

Really, really well made, if not quite as chilling as it had been built up be. Darkly funny in parts, but a bleak ending.

 

8/10

[Rex Banner]

Adventureland 8/10

 

Set in the 80's a College kid has to work at the local carnival for the summer, American comedy drama thing I liked it.

Same guy who did Superbad apparently, it's a bit different to that it's not constantly funny and there's more drama to it but still good.

[Total Longo]

The last two films i watched both had the word "town" in the title. Odd.

 

"Somers Town" - Alright, but not up there with Shane Meadows best, far too short at 1 hr 10 mins as well. 6 out of 10.

 

"Ghost Town" - I expected to dislike this but ended up really enjoying it, although to a degree it was a pretty formulaic Rom-Com and Gervais was his usual self, his redemption was pretty believable and the supporting cast was excellent. 7 out of 10.

[Alan Sex]

[Antynwa]

Bruno

 

8/10

 

Not as good as Borat, Ridiculously short, but a massive laugh all the way through

[odris]

Stand by me - 9/10

Bruno 7/10

I am Sam - 10/10

[loadsoftrophies]

Pineapple express 7/10, made me laugh enough to get a 7.

[Crazyhorse7778]

The Taking of Pelham 123 - 8.9/10.

 

Brilliant film, absolutely no need for a remake, but I'll probably watch it anyway because of the cast.

[Section_31]

Bruno, 7/10, funny but although It was supposed to be vulgar, I thought he resorted to it a bit too easily whenever a scene went quiet. Talking about fanny tits and dick gets you a laugh in nearly any Monday night open mic comedy night, but I expect it to be done a bit more creatively by a genius such as this.
