The Infidel...patchy..some genuinely funny parts...but without the lead performance it would have failed hopelessly due to a hit and miss script by the untalented David Baddiel...5/10

 

Before the film there was an excellent trailor for FOUR LIONS...cannot wait for that

[The Special One]

Anyone else seen 'How to train your dragon' yet? I don't feel right rating it as I missed most of the ending at the cinema on account of my being sick but up till that point I thought it was pretty funny and original with a few good jokes thrown in.

[Mendoza]

Red Eye- quite an interesting psychological thriller until it went completely mental in the last 20 minutes- 5/10.

[Rex Banner]

Kick Ass 9/10

Hilarious and lots of graphic violence, need I say more.

[Mendoza]

The Lovely Bones- thought it would be shit, but it wasnt. Stanley Tucci is excellent- 8/10.

[hamstrung]

World's Greatest Dad - 8/10

 

One of the most original screenplays that I've seen for a long time. It is kind of like two movies. It starts funny and then turns into a bit of a quirky story. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Excellent, I think. I think.

 

Got around to watching this last night. I'd agree with the above.

 

Funny, weird, sad, odd.

Glad you agree. I'm still not sure what to make of it but the first part was funny as shit. Good film, though. People should seek it out because it is less formulaic that a lot of films now.

 

It's nice to see Robin Williams putting in good performances again.

[RED.DUB]

The Believer

Ryan Gosling Plays a self loathing Jewish Neo Nazi,a film thats been out years now but id only become aware of quite recently.

actually really good,really enjoyed it.

[Hooch]

Hurly Burly - 6.23/10

 

Based around some Hollywood film casters and their fucked up world of money drugs and women.

Strange really but actually quite captivating. Sean Penn is a terrific actor inee?

 

Twin Town - 7/10

 

I'd never heard of this but flicked it on skymovies Indie yesterday. Rhys Ifans and some other giblet play two joyrider brothers causing mayhem on the streets of Swansea.

I don't know what to compare it to really, but it was actually a good little film. Very British, or very Welsh. Or something like that. Eggs.

[Guest davelfc]

planes, Trains & Automobiles. 7/10

 

Brilliant film but loses point because, the 'fucking, fuckety, fuck, fuck, fuck' scene at the car hire desk ruins it for me. It's incredibly cheesy, but that's the point and I wonder why he's wanting to race home to that pig of a wife of his and those kids from 'children of the damned'

 

But Candy steals it and it was a great shame the porky cunt ate his way into an early grave, comedy legend.

At least you didn't do the very lazy comparison at the time which was to call it "The Welsh Trainspotting".

What?? Am I alone here in thinking this was actually one of the funniest bits?

[Torvald Utne]

I've just seen a trailer for Death at a Funeral on Sky, I never knew they remade this....wasn't it only a couple of years ago it was released?

[Guest davelfc]

You're kidding right? It makes me cringe, it's such a poor part of the film.

[RedBrian84]

Saw two this week. First up:

 

Clash of the Titans- 5/10

 

Oh dear. If you're going to re-do what has already been done then you either need to stay faithful in terms of story etc, or you need to pull out all of the stops to make it better. This was neither. Script was rushed, acting was questionable, even from Fiennes who's usually alright. It just felt like it had been hurried and hurried, and that no real care was put into it. The leading feller (name escapes me) had all of the charisma of an ironing board. Disappointing really. I gave it 5 because the effects weren't too bad.

 

Kick Ass- 9/10

Hilarious, just really bloody funny and very clever.

[The Dude Abides]

'Hoop Dreams' WOW!! 10/10.

[Juniper]

Kick Ass 8/10

 

Was a good film. Didn't love it as much as people have who've seen it but it was a welcomed refreshment from the usual superhero films. Wasn't bad at all.

[odris]

'Hoop Dreams' WOW!! 10/10.

 

Just some info in case you didn't know.

Neither Agee nor Gates made the NBA. Nonetheless, both young men were able to turn the film's success and their subsequent fame into a better life for themselves and their families. They took the money generated from the film and bought better housing. Additionally Arthur Agee, the younger of the two basketball players, launched a foundation promoting higher education for inner city youth and began the "Hoop Dreams" sportswear line in 2006. Gates has also risen above his earlier circumstances while giving back to the community as senior pastor at Living Faith Community Center in Cabrini-Green, where he works at the Kids' Club.

 

The families of both men have experienced losses since the release of the film. On Thanksgiving morning 1994, Agee's older half-brother, DeAntonio, was gunned down at Cabrini-Green. In September 2001, Gates' older brother, Curtis, 36, was shot to death in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. Arthur's father, Bo Agee, was murdered in 2004.

Un Prophete - French Gangster/ prison film, about a Arab who gets in with he Corsican Mafia that run the place really well done. 8/10

[Mendoza]

Repo Men- poorly scripted, cliche-ridden and with some pretty ropey acting from Jude Law, really enjoyed it (in the same way you enjoy a Mcdonalds meal) - 6.5/10.

What are people's opinions on the Kill Bills? People tend to talk about them in a derogatory way, but I love them. I think they are both brilliantly acted, scripted and directed and I think they tell a good story.

I like them.

 

They're just pure escapism and Tarantino does that sort of thing really well, in my opinion.

 

I think you know what you're going to get before you watch it, but that's not really a bad thing. You don't want to be challenged intellectually all the time when you're watching a film and so if you just want to zone out for 90 minutes then they more than do a job.

[Jasmine]

Finally saw "Up", it's cute, but I think I liked the beginning best. 8/10

I've just noticed that he is writing Kill Bill: Vol. 3.

I'm off to see Hot Tub Time Machine tonight.
