Up In The Air. 9/10

 

My kind of movie.

Clooneys characters backpack philospophy is fantastic.

Apart from that I just really liked the story and the soundtrack.

[Markmywords]

District 9

 

Hilarious, and very well done, loved their accents 'aaah you fockin sneaky prawn'

 

8/10

The Cabin In The Woods

 

Fun, quite effective scares - at face value anyway -

but rather too clever for its own good with that whole "appeasing The Old Gods with some snuff reality TV", which didn't really make sense anyway.

[Mendoza]

The Devil's Double- the life and times of Uday Hussein and his 'brother' and double shot as a glossy action thriller. Silly but enjoyable- 7/10.

 

The Angels' Share- likable Neds comedy/drama from Ken Loach- 7.5/10.

[Scott_M]

Killing Them Softly 7/10

 

Decent enough. Could have done without the whole film being played out in front of the Bush / Obama election and trying to give it a social commentary regarding the economic downturn. Added nothing to it, it fact, it took away from it.

[WaltonRed]

Mississippi Burning 10/10

 

I love Gene Hackman at the min, seen the Conversation the other week, another boss film another boss performance

Just came across this film on Wikipedia, can't decide if sounds so bad it's good or just bad.

 

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is a 2001 cult film from Odessa Filmworks which deals with Jesus' modern-day struggle to protect the lesbians of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, from vampires with the help of Mexican wrestler El Santo.

 

Plot

 

The movie begins with Jesus Christ sitting on a beach relaxing and comparing the kingdom of God to a sand castle. He meets up with El Santo and a woman named Mary Magnum. Together they fight lesbian-killing vampires. Jesus fights with mixed martial arts skills and uses his carpentry skills to create weapons to slay vampires.

Killing Them Softly - 6.5/10. I found it very difficult to get gripped by it, it had zero flow. Shame as I had been excited by this.

Looper 9/10

Loved it, it had everything I like in a movie. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great, awesome action scenes, really stylish and a great clever story.

I'm definitely going to see it again.

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

I'm sure its on the Pope's watchlist.

[redheart]

Looper is indeed dead ace. I would agree with the mark. Strong performances alround and a great story. very good fx and action which served the story rather than vice versa.

 

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was splendid as indeed was the makeup work to make him look slightly different such that it was a tad unnerving because it was all a tad off centre

Looper was great, became a completely different movie about an hour in.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Lymelife

 

Very grainy and one speed from stat to finish. Typical suburban American family/teenage pains saga. Something very American Beauty about it but still enjoyed it. 6/10

[Section_31]

Killing The Softyl. 2/10, what a load of shite. I nearly fell asleep for only the second time since Green Zone. It's a massive con because when you see the trailer you see Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini and think 'I'll have some of that', but they're both in it for about five minutes and Gandolfini's whole part in the film is pretty pointless. Pitt is basically a toned down Tyler Durden which is no bad thing, in fact I reckon the writer thought 'what if Tyler Durden was a hitman?', which again, is no bad thing.

 

It's trying to say something clever about the economy and the states, but done in a ham-fisted manner by playing Obama videos in the background, Mark Kermode thoght it was boss but I just don't get it. Shite.

[gingerhulk]

Lawless 7-10

 

If you like boardwalk empire you will like this.

 

Tom hardy is just boss.

[Unrighteous]

Dredd - 8/10

 

Karl Urban was boss as Judge Dredd, and the film was a no frills action film. Lots of guns. Lots of 'coolness' factor. I really, really enjoyed the film.

 

End of Watch - 7/10

 

Story of two police officers in poor, urban Los Angeles. It shoots more like a documentary, in how it's shot, and it's pretty gripping. I really enjoyed the realistic viewpoint, of course, it has a lot of things happening that wouldn't be the average shift.

 

That's my boy - 2/10

 

Shitty film. I gave it a 2 because Vanilla Ice is in it, and he's kinda awesome.

 

Resident Evil 475082 (Whatever it is this time...) - Resident Evil/10

 

It's a Resident Evil film. You know what is going to happen, there will be hot chicks in sexy outfits, lots of guns, fighting, zombies, etc. etc. It gives you exactly what is on the tin. Enjoyable.

[Rafiagra]

Dredd. A good 7.5.

 

Really enjoyed it but the main villain was a proper let down at the end. Might as well not even bothered with that bit.

 

The beauty of the film for me was that it wasn't all about the bigger picture of Dredd, the world, his life etc. instead, it's just about one event he has to deal with and so you just get straight into it.

[Anubis]

Dredd - 8/10 (extra half mark added for Urban).

 

Perhaps a bit too grounded in 'reality', but Urban nails Dredd superbly.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

 

7.5/10

[SammyAftershave]

Lymelife

 

Very grainy and one speed from stat to finish. Typical suburban American family/teenage pains saga. Something very American Beauty about it but still enjoyed it. 6/10

 

I really liked this and it scored a little higher in the aftershave home. I agree, not quite as good but similar pitch as American Beauty. If you care for this sort of thing I can recommend 'Snow Angels', and in particular 'Little Children' which, after some persisting with, proved to be very rewarding.

 

PS The uncrowned king of this 'sub-genre' for me is 'Happiness'. Not everyone's cup of tea though and I can understand why.

[Jim MM]

On The Road: It takes one of modern literature's most vibrant and iconic characters in Dean /Neal and suffocates him under a blanket of 2012 Hollywood character traits. Very disappointing.

3/10.

[Sandford]

Cleanskin - 4/10

 

About as cliched and stereotypical as it gets with the subtlety of a kick in the knackers!!

[silverlining]

First Blood.

 

8 headbands out of 10. Brilliant film, and superbly shot in some ace-looking wilderness.

 

Dennehy (in particular) and Stallone are both OK, but the real star-turn is Richard Crenna's Trautman, who is mesmerisingly terrible and has some of the greatest lines in movie history:

 

"You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best."

 

"God didn't make Rambo. I made him!"

 

Dennehy: Are you telling me that 200 of our men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?

Trautman: You send that many, don't forget one thing.

Dennehy: What?

Trautman: A good supply of body bags.

avengers - 6/10. I'm still not that sold on it.

avengers - 6/10. I'm still not that sold on it.

 

I do want to watch it, although I think I've only seen one or two of the other "prequels", but I still can't quite fathom how it has made quite so much money at the box office.
