Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

The Puffy Chair. Annoying movie. It really doesn't have a point to it and it seems very amateurish. All of the characters get on your nerves.
When Will I Be Loved. Good lord what a load of rubbish. Was only able to sit through about 30 minutes of it. The constant music was doing my head in.
Anyone?.......Anyone?......Bueller???
Sunshine. Was going good. I thought it was good. Then the guy from Icarus 1 showed upand it went downhill after that.
Anyone on here seen the Stallone version of Get Carter? I'm teaching the original to my film class at the moment and feel like I need to make some comparison to it. Is it as bad as I've heard, or does it unfairly suffer when put up against the classic original?
I suppose I could just watch it myself instead, but wanted some Caf input.

its shit
Cheers GB...succinct, to the point, and what I was expecting!
There Will Be Blood. It's a good movie, just a bit long at 2 1/2 hours. Both Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano give really good performances.
Derailed, ignoring two ridiculous plot holes its pretty decent, 6.5/10
The Prestige, good film, kept me engrossed throughout, was a bit repetitive in parts and the twists weren't anything on previous Christopher Nolan efforts. 7.5/10

Into the Wild? anyone?
Heard great things from relatively reliable sources but not seen it yet. One person I know liked it so much they bought the books etc immediately after they got home.
Run Lola Run
I know this is quite old, but just seen it for the first time
Wow. What can I say, I fecking loved this film. Never lets up and keeps you guessing right to the end. A true original
A very pleasant surprise
Oh, and the girl who played Lola is fit as feck
8.5

Love that movie. His other movies(Heaven and The Princess & The Warrior) are both pretty good as well.
I'll check them out, definitely
Denzel Washington movie , some time travel cop action , , somebody help me whit the tittle
Deja Vu
I'd recommend you steer clear of that
American Gangster - A forced attempt to make a movie involving all popular genres - the mafia, Harlem, drugs, Vietnamese war-time idiocy, cops chasing criminals, a 'inspired from true story' plot. Not recommended.
Saw the following movies lately :
The Darjeeling Limited : Typical Wes Anderson movie. Not for everyone, but those who like his brand of humor and coming-of-age movies ought to love it. I loved it. It was his dedication to Satyajit Ray and India, I think he did a decent enough job. Good performances from Brody, Schwartzman and Wilson (probably his best). Definitely worth a watch !!
Cloverfield - Entertaining, daring, but definitely didn't live up to all the hype. I fell for all the hype and honestly was a more than a little dissapointed at the end.
Eastern Promises : David Cronenberg + Russian Mafia in New York + Viggo Mortensen as a Russian Mob Hitman + Naomi Watts + Decent plot twists = A good movie.
There is this one fight scene in a sauna that is legendary.

Cloverfield.
Whiney, shitcock characters with no depth whatsoever, five minutes patchy coverage of a relationship does not a good story make. Original concept, some good cinematic sequences that have a tendency to repeat themselves ten minutes later, brilliant special effects and at times, a very engaging film.
A found it dragged a little despite not being very long, and the ending was very gay.
5.5/10

Just have to recommend the film I watched last night...Paris J'Taime...18 five minute short films, set in each of the 18 districts of Paris by different directors. Directors include the Coen Brothers, Tom Tywker, Wes Craven...and cameos from Bob Hoskins, Gerard Depardieu, Nick Nolte, Steve Buscemi, Ben Gazzara, Gena Rowlands, Willem Dafoe etc...all based on the theme of love...some very funny (Coen's especially), some tragic.
So glad I'm going there in two weeks, has really whetted my appetite.
Highly recommended.

Saw it when it first hit DVD. Overall a good effort from multiple directors.
Wish I'd read this post earlier - would have stopped me wasting 80 mins of my life. What a shit film. It's unbelievable stuff like this gets made. Seemed like a ten year old had written it.
Grrrr
Sicko
Latest Michael Moore film. I just watched the DVD
Jesus christ, I ain't ever goin to live in the good ole US of A. Not ever
8/10
(Would be interested to hear what the Yanks on here thought of it)

While Moore does bring up some very interesting points, I don't feel he goes about highlighting them the correct way. The part where he took them to Guantamo(sp) Bay was over the top and seriously hurt the film's credibility.
The use of Guantanamo ensured they were travelling in U.S. waters.
Good Will Hunting - I liked it. Appealed to me on many levels. Any movie which has a good plot or storyline gets half of my approval and only poor acting can ruin the other half. Despite me not being either Ben Affleck or Matt Damon's greatest of fans, both suited the role. Robin Williams was excellent.
Help!. A Hard Day's Night>Help!
Juno - Hmmm. I didn't like the dialogue in some of the scenes but a good movie overall. Ellen Page is a good actress with a massive forehead. And Jason Bateman really should be getting some decent lead roles. I haven't seen Superbad but Michael Cera played his character from Arrested Dvelopment in this movie. The soft spoken loser type that he seems to do so well.
8/10
8/10
Casino - Classic. Like every such Scorsese movie it's a pure entertainer.
Reservoir Dogs pure class from Tarantino in his debut
I watched a film called Heaven last night, with Cate Blanchett. (no, I didn't watch it with her, I mean she was in the film)
feck me, save yourselves 95 minutes of your life and don't bother with this pile of shit. Excruciatingly dull
2/10

Agree with this sumation Mehro, I enjoyed this a lot, and Ellan Page is going to have a fantastic career. I think I gave it 8.5, suprised the hell out of me.
Is Ellen Page legal yet?
I would
I would
Awake.
Watched this last night. Haden Christianson and Jessica Alba, about a guy that goes under the knife for an operation but suffers from the rare accurance of being awake during the whole proceedure. Interesting idea executed in an unoriginal way and becomes a run of the mill film that you have seen a million times before.
5/10

I hope so franco, because I would too.

Yeah, she's already 20 or 21.
The Notebook- 4/5ths of utter utter utter dross, 1/5th a really well acted moving movie. 6/10 based on the strength of the end comparatively.
Cloverfield- not as revolutionary as many say, still really enjoyable 7.5/10.
Before the Devil knows you're Dead- Phillip Seymor Hoffman is brilliant again. Ethan Hawke is excellent. Really compelling movie, slow in parts and perhaps has a tendency to over use time chopping Memento-esque techniques but well worth watching. 7.5 or 7 /10.
About to watch Juno today, verdict later hopefully.

Get Carter(original). Saw this a couple years ago when I was dead tired, didn't think much of it. Watched it again because I'm working on a revenge type script and needed some inspiration/possibilities of what could happen. I'm glad I watched it again. Fantastic movie.
