Skyfall - 7/10. Didn't realise first time around just how much it rips from the Nolan Batman films. Not in a bad way, though.

 

21 Jump Street - 8.5/10. Probably the funniest film I've seen all year. Think I've watched it about four times now.

 

Safe House - 7/10. Not too bad at all. Denzel is always class, and I liked the fact Reynolds wasn't just going round cracking wise. Decent watch.

 

Big - 9/10. A classic.

[Ted]

Oh and Elf is brilliant. Sort it out.

[manwiththestick]

Weekend at Bernies. 7/10. Still funny 20 odd years on.

[lifetime fan]

Safe House 7/10

 

Easy watch and enjoyable.

[Robbo29]

Elf is one of my fave films, its well funny even after loads of viewings, if you dont like it you must have no sense of humour! ok its never gone win any awards, or be a critics choice but its there to entertain and it does it well

[Markmywords]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

 

Slow, odd but somehow watchable.

 

I quite like films with a different slant on reality so all in all, not too bad

 

6.5/10

 

A small point of note, I think i'm developing a bit of a thing for cate blanchet, more on this as things develop...

[Robbo29]

Father of the Bride - Steve Martin 7/10, very good in parts, laugh out loud, love Fronk! made some godd ones did Mr Martin, the jerk, man with two brains

[Faustus]

Walk The Line 9/10

 

I'm a fan of Johnny Cash, so it's pretty shameful that I hadn't seen this up until last night when it was on Film 4. Thought it was excellent. I've got a bit of a thing for Reece Witherspoon and I thought she was brilliant as June Carter, as was Phoenix (who I bear no amorous feelings towards) as the man himself. Fuck knows how he didn't get the Oscar that year because I thought he was the ghost of Johnny Cash. Flawless, in fact.

 

Factually incorrect in one or two places, but you kind of expect a few liberties to be taken for biopics, so it's not really a gripe on my part. As I said, excellent film.

 

And I only just clicked as the credits rolled that Johnny Cash's old man is played by the T-1000 from Terminator 2!

Its official. I have no sense of humour. I am more than happy to suspend a bit of reality in the interests of Christmas spirit (eg I liked Home Alone, although one was probably enough, and Enchanted) but I could find nothing endearing or even funny in this film at all. It just left me cold.

[Sugar Ape]

Maybe The Grinch would be more to your liking?

Oh, I thought of the one too, just didnt write it down. I do like The Grinch and I love Jah Rule's reading of the story....used to be part of my Christmas when Jo Whiley used to play it every year. In fact, I shall just go and find it now....:santa:

[Robbo29]

Grinch is good, couldnt watch it last crimbo though, my then 2 year old girl found him scary, Home Alone 1&2, should have stopped then

Wasn't a fan of hers before but she was smoking in Walk The Line.

[Champ]

Very good film. Cant comment on Reece's 'smoking' qualities......

[Faustus]

Reese is boss. Seen her on one or two chat shows in the past and she comes across as a really switched on girl with a good sense of humour.

 

I'd love the opportunity to take her out for a few jars and a carvery dinner. I'd even shine my shoes and wear a freshly ironed shirt.

She's a stunning looking girl but she needs to sort that chin out. I read an artical of her's some time ago and she's one of those people whos continually looking into herself. She sees an analyst every week. That pint and carvery would probably end up being a sparkling water with a side salad as the main, followed by a indepth inner self chat. Have you seen Election ? One of he earlier films. She plays a good part in that.

 

Anyway, watched The Da Vinci Code the other day. It was like watching National Treasure, only they never found the treasure. Full of riddles and hidden chambers with quite a bit of traveling.

 

Think I'll score it,

[The Golden Eel]

F/X - 7/10 (the usual score)

[Adebisi]

Almost Famous - 7/10 - I watched the directors cut a few years ago and I think I preferred that version.

[Carvalho Diablo]

This.

 

Thought she was pretty good as the missus in Rendition, but she 's been piss poor in everything else I've seen her in.

[manwiththestick]

REC 3:Genesis. 1/10. Let me start by saying that I loved the first two films, proper horror films. This is just arse, a really shitty arse. If you liked the first couple and are thinking of watching this then don't, you won't learn anything from it other than remembering the disappointment of sitting down excitedly to watch Teen wolf too. Bad.

[Pidge]

Merry christmas mr Lawrence. 9/10.

 

Wonderful. Oshima never pulls his punches. This lacks the bitter satire of the suns burial but exhibits much more heart. I went on to imdb after and ended up reading Ebert's review where he horribly misjudges the film as some kind of statement on rights and wrongs of the war. This is a film about the characters and their humanity, not the situation.

[Gym Beglin]

Taken 2 - 6/10

 

Pretty weak follow-up to a film that should never have been followed-up. His daughter needs licking out though, and the Irish scruff can watch if he wants. In fact, the more I think about it, the worse the score gets, so I'll leave it now.

[Gym Beglin]

[James Dean]

Another Earth - 8/10 - Pleasant surprise.

 

The Expandables 2 - 5/10 - Slightly better than the originial.

 

Taken 2 - -/10 - Turned it off halfway through. Absolute crap.

 

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - 9/10 - Even better the second time round. Deffo going to watch it again.
