Is that The Exorcist 3?

 

Exorcist 3 is a very decent film.

[Chairman Meow]

36 Quai des Orfevres. 9/10

Reckoned to be the French equivalent to Heat. Is it bollocks, it is far superior. Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu are brilliant in it, the soundtrack fits it pretty much perfectly and like most French films it is brilliant to look at.

 

No dialogue thrown in for the sake of it, in fact not a huge amount of dialogue in general unless it is actually needed. Not so much French equivalent to Heat, more the film Heat wishes it could be.

[Dougie Do'ins]

The Motorcycle Diary's. Enjoyed it but wasn't overawed by it. 6/10

 

Inglourious Basterds. Somethings going to have to give way in my top ten to make way for this. 10/10

[George Costanza]

Hans Landa is one of the best film characters of recent years

[The Great Jacko]

Hot Tub Time Machine 7.5/10 intentionally cheesy. Made me laugh a dozen times. Has a cameo from Chevy Chase!

 

"It's like Gary Colemans forearm"

"They had Reagan and Aids. Let's get the fuck out of here."

Never Let Me Go.

 

The missus dragged me to this as she'd read the book. "Fucking great" I thought; "Another two hours watching a film about people and their stupid fucking emotions - In Japanese". T'was not so; It's a really lovely film that actually put a lump in my grizzled cynical throat. I love dystopian films and books and this (gently) presses that button. The weight of the film's terrifying central tenet casts a sick light over the whole thing - it's really well done The cast (which includes Keira Knightly, Charlotte Rampling and ) are all fucking brilliant in it and you really feel for the kids in it and the adults who have to live with what they do. Loved it I did

 

8/10

[Beantown Red]

Unthinkable

 

2/10

Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Sheen

Absolute shite movie in which 90% takes place in one room in a school. The best part of the movie was after it was over I read some of the reviews online from delusional Americans who think this type of thing reflects reality.

[VladimirIlyich]

Choke 7.5/10

 

Another very watchable Sam Rockwell film.

[Ted]

Pour Elle - 8/10. Superb French thriller about a guy who decides to break his wife out of the clink. Fair play to him.

 

From Paris With Love - 2/10. Absolutely fucking terrible. Travolta, yet again, has it turned up to 11 and even manages to piss on the best role he's had in 20 odd years at one point.

 

However, I did enjoy it when it didn't take itself seriously. So maybe 2/10 is a little harsh.

[Joso]

Mar Adentro - Quite possibly the best cinematography I have ever seen. Javier Bardem is a master weather acting in Spanish or English. 9 out of 10

Are you actually reasoning with yourself within that post? Brilliant.

 

Repped (the two of you).

[Ted]

I think I am. I'm confused.

Last King of Scotland

 

Forest Whittaker is absolutely superb, well worth his awards. Scary yet hilarious.

 

8/10

I will give this a watch but I find I want to put my wife in the clink so maybe its a bit unrealistic!

I concur. Cracking film.

[Guest TK-421]

Surveillance

 

Another movie about murders. I'm not sure about Bill Pullman's performance in this. Jennifer Lynch directs. Marked down for being too predictable (I clocked it early and I'm rubbish at these things) and some terrible acting in parts. Marked up for keeping me watching and having its moments.

Sounds ace. I'll hunt them down this weekend.. Cheers!

Pour Elle was remade as The Next Three Days with Russell Crowe. Watched it a few weeks back and thought it was a very decent thriller, didnt know it was a remake at the time. Might check out the original as it features the lovely Diane Kruger.

[Anubis]

Hostel. As a horror film 2/10. As a comedy 6/10.

[Harry Squatter]

Nighthawks, Sly Stallone and Lando Calrissian battle trrorist Rutger Hauer, 7/10.

Yes much better than heat,which isnt one of my favourites by a long shot,too much style over substance for me.

 

This was the real deal but I'd give it an 8.5/10

[manwiththestick]

Mum and Dad. 6/10. British horror film about a very dysfunctional family who live on the edge of Heathrow airport giving of the facade of a normal family whilst kidnapping, torturing and killing victims. Kind of fucked up, royal family meets hostel.

[Torvald Utne]

Anuvahood 9/10 Bad film with bad acting but I laughed all the way through so that's enough for me. I think the majority of people won't like this at all though.

[Section_31]

Unknown 7/10 good solid action thriller with a clever twist, Neeson is always good value too. Well worth a watch.

 

The Eagle 6/10, film about a Roman officer who goes to the north of England to reclaim the standard of the disappeared 9th legion. Some good action scenes - especially the 'Testudo' - but some very lame dialogue and plot holes aplenty.
