The Counterfeiters - 7.5/10

A good film of the jewish counterfeithers for the nazis. It compliments Downfall and Black Book nicely (well, not that nice). But how it beat Lives of Others to an Oscar I've no idea.

Rise of the footsoldiers - Loved it. 8/10.

 

Bit like Football factory and Green street but a lot better, deffo recommend it.

Simpsons last night. Rubbish, Laughed twice. "Thats the reason we should hate kids" and I can't remember the other.

Cash cow.

B.B...B.....But Spider Pig makes that film.

 

I very often mimic that scene with my cat instead of a pig. I found them hard to come by at a cheap price, and very heavy. Cats are much more light and easier to gorilla press against the ceiling so you ensure they can't escape while you have your moment of comedy re-enactment pleasure.

 

I watched No Country For Old Men last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was gutted how it ended though. I was impressed with the characters and Anton Sugar (I know its not spelt like that) character was a real scary fucker. The flip of the coin sin the garage with the old fella was amazing. Put the fear of god into me. You being scared to fuck not knowing what this mad crazy fucker is capable of, and the fact he is sending subliminal messages to you. Knowing that your choice of coin side could depend on whether you lived or not. A really good way of getting your potential victim to play Russian roulette.

 

I would give it a 8.5/10

[Brownie]

I watched Snatch last night - class. 9/10.

 

On a seperate note, I really liked The Simpsons Movie.

[Elite]

This is England - 7/10

 

Some very funny scenes early on and a watchable film but nothing special.

[grazywalker]

Rendition

Political thriller

Over complicted and tried to be too clever.

Quite good though the more I think about it.

However the subtitled parts were fucked up on my screen for some reason so that did not help. 7 terrorists out of 10 terrorists

[RedinSweden]

Click. Adam Sandler. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be 6½ / 10.

[Ted]

Little Miss Sunshine-7/10.

 

Good film.

[Rex Banner]

10,000 B.C absolute rubbish, like a poor version of Apocalypto.

I knew it would be shit before seeing it but there was nothing else on that I haven't already seen and I had nothing to do.

 

1/10

[Stu Monty]

Just finished watching The assassination of Richard Nixon. It's hard to describe it really but I think it was pretty darn good. Obviously Sean Penn was superb, and gives an awesome performance as a guy who is essential a good man that slowly falls apart and ends up in pieces. The world chews him up and spits him out and Penn captures it brilliantly.

 

I'd definitely take 90 minutes of your life to watch it, even if it is a bit of an awkward and uncomfortable watch simetimes due to Penn making the man, and his demise, so real.

[Harry Squatter]

Micael Clayton - 1/10 - boring as fuck - don't know how Tilda Swinton won an Oscar.

 

Blood Diamond - 7/10, good film with good action sequences, spoilt by Leo's jarg Zimbabwean accent.

 

Dead Man's Shoes - 9/10 - funny as fuck but had a lot of disturbing scenes, Gary Stretch looks like George Michael.

[Paco]

Michael Clayton n/a - tried to watch this 3 times and always fell asleep

 

Knocked up 6/10 - silly as fuck but a couple of funny moments especially with the bouncer outside the club. A Seth Rogan vehicle.

 

Superbad 1/10 - title says it all.

 

The Passion of the Christ 7/10 - ultra violent but i'm sure crucifixions were horrendous parades of torture. Don't remember there being an earthquake after Jesus dies on the cross and the final shot in the tomb is ridiculous. apart from that had every part of the story as I was taught it.

[Captain]

Rocky - Not all that.

 

King Kong - Not all that either.

 

This Easter I'm watching a film every day. Tonight it's Capote, at least I expect that to be above average, unlike the other two.

[RedKnight]

The Orphanage - 8/10. Scared me but then I'm a pansy when it comes to such things.

[Thants]

This week I was mostly watching:

 

The Flying Scotsman - very watchable and likeable account of the scottish nemesis to Chris Boardman and all his troubles. 7.5/10

United 93 - fuck me, very compelling account. But with Greengrass at the helm I expected it. 8/10

Near Dark - 80's vampire film hasnt aged at all. Quite brilliant. 8/10

[sh#t waffle]

Knocked Up - 6.9/10. Very funny in places, but Superbad is better.

[sh#t waffle]

Also, Blood Diamond - 7.0003/10. It was a harrowing story, and a very noble subject matter to tackle, but there were plot holes aplenty; the amount of times entire villages got wiped out save for Leonardo and all other characters relevant to the plot began to recall Rambo III by the end.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Walk HArd: The Dewey Cox Story. Funny give it a 7.5/10

 

Semi-Pro. 7.5/10 again, pissed myself all the way through it.

[RJ Fan club]

Just finished watch Black Book for the first time. I meant to go and see it at the cinema then forgot, then couldn't arsed to change my address at the video shop, so when it turned up on film 4 a few weeks ago I taped it, finally watched it today. Anyway I digress.

 

I thought it was excellent, really impressed with the Dutch dialogue and how that never interupted my enjoyment of the film. Really pleasing to see a war film that centred on the typically unseen side of the war. Bit slow to start, but really ended up enjoying the time taken and detail shown. Shot really well, good acting and nice detailing of occupied Holland.

 

All in all gets 8 and half RJ stars out of ten.

[longballs]

There will be blood 3/10 - too long and over hyped, fucking pap.

 

The air I breathe 7/10 - decent fillm and Forest Whitaker once again rocks

 

Cleaner 5/10 - Easy viewing with a decent idea but a bad name and a bad plot

 

The Big Lebowski 4/10 - not funny... DUDE.

[Joeys Pogo]

Little Miss Sunshine - last night 7.5 out of 10

 

Crash - last week - very very good 9 out of 10

Dude, I rank The Big Lebowski as one of my all time favs. Gutted.

 

Watched Stranger Than Fiction last night or Saturday can't remember, and really enjoyed it, thought the plot was good and I liked Emma Thompson manic author character. Thought Will Ferrell was good in a more serious role, even though he played an eccentric character. Good cameo from Mr Hoffman too. And finally Maggie Gyllenhall (sp) is one foxy chick in that film. 8/10 for me.

[Captain]

Just finished Capote, which I thought was a good film. Nothing spectacular, but good. I still think Joaquin Phenix should have had that Oscar though!

[Karl_b]

Amélie - 10/10.
