Killer Joe 7/10

 

Strange film. Couldn't quite make my mind up all the way through but at the end i thought i quite enjoyed it although i couldn't quite fathom why.

 

Anyone else seen this?

[The Golden Eel]

Damn it, that's a lyric from a song I know...but can I fuck think what it is.

 

That is gonna piss me off now, incessantly.

 

You could have just googled it.

Sweet Sixteen 6.5/10

 

Ken Loach familiar story of life at the bottom with a sprinkling of black humour thrown in.

A bit predictable and subtitles needed to decipher the thick Scottish accents.

[Faustus]

Been on a bit of a binge the past few days with films that have been on the telly:

 

The Quiet American 5/10

I just found it really dull and slow-paced. Michael Caine was pretty good though, so his performance merits an extra point or two.

 

Howl 6/10

Decent enough watch. James Franco nails Ginsberg, but thought it was a little pretentious in parts with the cartoons to illustrate the poem, for instance. Kind of just wish they'd made a biopic, to be honest, because I don't think any of the three distinct parts did such a fascinating character justice.

 

From Dusk Till Dawn 9/10

Really enjoyed it. I think Tarantino's love for cinema really comes through in the film and it just grips you from the very first scene in the petrol station out in the desert. Salma Hayek is one top bit of minge, also. She bags it an extra point.

 

The King Of Comedy 9/10

Found it really engaging, yet uncomfortable viewing at the same time. Shades of Taxi Driver on show. My mate reckons it's De Niro's most under rated role and I think I'm inclined to agree. Thought Jerry Lewis was class in it. Some great subtle moments.

 

Date Night 6/10

Decent enough popcorn comedy. Bit of a mess at times, but I liked the chemistry between Carrell and Fey, and thought the cameos from Wahlberg, Kunis and Franco were pretty funny. Kills an hour an half enjoyably enough.

[zigackly]

I also reckon a bird would find it touching.

 

Which usually leads to more touching. Good call.

Indeed sir... One thing becoming another, better thing, is usually awesome.

Ok...

 

I watched two Korean films last night

 

The Front Line -- 8/10

 

The last bit of the Korean war, that took place during the peace talks. It focuses on one group of soldiers fighting over a strategic hill that they want to hold after the thing is signed.

 

Pretty damn good.

 

You are my sunshine - 7/10

 

Touching film about a farmer/loser that falls in love with a part-time prostitute. There are two big 'swings here'. One of them? Predictable. One of them? Totally out of nowhere. Quite a good story. Worth a watch.

Is that Korean language with subtitles? I'm sure I saw that advertised at the start of a DVD I had and it looked pretty damn good.

Cheers I'll have to get it ordered on my next batch of DVDs

[Anubis]

Detective Dee And The Mystery Of The Phantom Flame. Chinese cinematic popcorn, and quite cheesily enjoyable. 7/10.

This is a simply superb film. It does not get the credit that it deserves because it is so unnerving and uncomfortable to watch. It is possibly one of the scariest films I have ever seen

[ZonkoVille77]

Red Lights. Class film. 8/10

[Unrighteous]

Wrath of the Titans.

 

Part of me wants to put 1/10 for it being shite, but part of me reckons it was about a 5/10 for entertainment value. I feel nothing for the characters but it moves so quickly that I kinda enjoyed it... but recognized that it's complete shite.

[Mendoza]

Red Lights. Class film. 8/10

 

Nah, worst ending ever. Ruins it.

[Sandford]

Wanderlust 5/10

 

Paint by numbers.Easy watch. Rudd amusing as ever.

[Soleilrouge]

Two treats for you lot

 

The Third Man - 9/10

 

A classic to the end of its toenails.

 

The lady from shangai - 9.5/10

 

Only heard about this last week and it has without doubt the most smouldering female lead of all time in a blond Rita Hayworth. It's a heady cocktail of love, murder, intrigue, hatred, betrayal and regret. The characters and acting are fantastic. Probably one of the top ten films Ive ever seen.

[manwiththestick]

Cabin in the woods. 3/10. Heard mixed reviews and I really wanted to like this but it's just not very good.

[VladimirIlyich]

Pineapple Express 7/10

 

Quite watchable and humorous for a stoner comedy.

[Sandford]

The Descendants 8/10

 

Not light entertainment but a good film.

 

Clooney is class

[robbiefowler9]

Adaptation:

 

Been meaning to watch it for ages but finally got around to it tonight. I thought it was excellent. Very meta and cleverly written. Nic Cage is actually really good in it too.

 

8/10

[Sandford]

Cockneys vs Zombies 6/10

 

Turn your mind off.Have no expectations.Typical zombie film bullshit.

 

Mildly enjoyable.

[Ted]

Cockneys vs Zombies. 6.5/10.

 

Got a few good laughs out of it.

Cockneys vs Zombies. 6.5/10.

 

How could you tell the difference?

[Tom R]

Law Abiding Citizen - Decent, but not nearly as good as some had suggested.
