Kick Ass- smart, funny, outrageously entertaining, believe the hype- 9/10.

Finally - that's the recommendation I wanted to see. Next week's trip to the cinema is sorted.

 

Micmacs 7/10 Like Amelie and Delicatessen but not quite as good. Still worth catching though.

[Mendoza]

I'm guessing having an in irrational hatred of two of the leads probably will marr you enjoyment somewhat, but go in with an open mind and you should love every minute. I can't think of a single shit scene to be honest. It's Chloe Moretz as Hitgirl who steals the entire film, though.

I fucking told yous! You wouldn't believe me but as soon as Mendoza says it's good you all jump in on it, cunts.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

No, you marry him.

 

Fine, I will marry him then.

[odris]

Oh and i just got back from seeing it for the second time, still a 9/10 from me and i enjoyed it just as much, Mick's opinion hasn't changed but he finally embraced Nic Cage and said he enjoyed it somewhat.

[Mendoza]

It's not just good, it's fucking ace.

 

I can understand why people hate Nicolas Cage, he has appeared in some dreadful crimes against cinema over the years, but i think this film and Bad Lieutenant mark a return to acting form for him.

In the trailer, it was clips of this character that was the final straw for me.

She's brilliant, so good that after a while you forget youre watching a 12 year old girl and just get immersed in the character, it's not gimmicky at all. I reckon anyone who doesnt like this film is probably a bit of a cocoa shunter.

I don't think Remmie meant it in a good way, a few pages back he said he was not going to watch this film.

Yes, i know he didnt. I'm just defending the film, Hitgirl style.

[Woo]

I thought the Blind Side was boss.

 

Really looking forward to seeing Kick-Ass, as well, hope it literally goes kick arse.

[Wor Horse]

It's ace Woo. You'll ruv it.

[Hand Shandy]

The wife is currently watching The Sound of Music on ITV1.

 

It has driven me to go and do the washing up.

 

0/10.

[Hand Shandy]

Oh, and another thing. She's got the fucking film on DVD and could watch it any time she wants when I'm not in the house!

 

Why does she have to ruin a perfectly nice Good Friday afternoon with this utter, utter tosh?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I've got a disgraceful nights viewing in front of me, the Bounty Hunter followed by The Blind side, the thing we do.....

 

The blind side was ok, I don't know what happened but something really strange came over me and I watched it all without falling aslep at any point 6.5/10. Watched Percy Jackson lightening something on dvd later after being threatened with it for a while, wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be and the stereotyping of the black side kick was exquisite 4.5/10.

[gaz181]

Watched Up in the air last night in work. Didn't have a clue what to expect but it was more than decent.

 

I'd give it a good 7.5/10.

[Remmie]

Eastern Promises - Fuck me, what a sombre film but pretty damn good 7.8/10.4

[Faustus]

I Love You Phillip Morris 8/10

 

Really enjoyed this. Strikes the perfect balance between comedy and drama and matches up some quite touching moments with some belly laughs.

 

This might sound a bit strange seeing as he's world renowned, but I think Jim Carrey is a very under-rated actor. You say his name and you instantly think of the zany comedies he does, but the fella can't half act and I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves on that front. He's brilliant in this.

[Hand Shandy]

When he's got a decent script, Carrey can certainly act.

 

However, he has been in some utter, utter rubbish as well.

 

Bit like all actors I suppose.

Yeah deffo. He was ace in The Truman Show. I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine yet, but it's deffo on my list to check out.

 

He has indeed made some turkeys, but like you said, every actor has more than a few of them on their C.V.

 

They mightn't be big hits with the critics, but I don't mind his comedies. You know what you're getting before you watch and sometimes you're just in the mood for a bit of silliness so they more than do a job on that front.

[Hand Shandy]

Eternal Sunshine is an excellent film. I too don't mind his comedies - you can generally just disengage your brain and go with the flow, and sometimes that's all you want.

[The Great Jacko]

The Hurt Locker -just about 8/10 a good film but not a great one and highlights how poor overall the nominees were this year for the awards.

 

PS on Nic Cage does anyone have an irrational dislike of him because of his hair? I loved a lot of his early stuff but his perfomances are now overshadowed by the most stupid haircut this side of Trump towers + the least natural colouring known to man + plus a fucking awful graft. Oh and his face is starting to look alarmingly Jackson like...

Eastern Promises - Fuck me, what a sombre film but pretty damn good 7.8/10.4

 

The fight scene in the shower room was bloody brilliant in that.
