Hellboy 2 Looks great but pretty dull narrative. 5/10
Spoiler alert Wibble?
There will be blood was a huge disappointment. Even worse than that New York Gangs embarasment of a few years ago.
I suppose. Bugger.
D.O.A. - Good classic film noir.

My son started watching Speed Racer tonight and when we made him go to bed half way through his verdict was "It makes no sense".
If 9 year olds think it is rubbish I don't think they have much hope of getting their $120 mill back.

I agree. I actually fell asleep halfway through.And I didn't miss a thing when I woke up.
I agree about there will be blood. Too long for its own good
DOA is a fantastic noir. Have you seen Detour? Only 60ish minutes long, but quality as well.
No. Will try to find it.
2046
Decent movie. Got a bit boring after about an hour though.

Yeah just the trailers alone left me saying, "WTF, why in feck would I pay to go see that crap it will be on HBO in a 6-9 months and if it is as shit as I think it is I can just change the channel"
I saw There Will Be Blood a couple of days ago. Thought it was brilliant. Acting was great and the sound design was spectacular. First 20 minutes with no dialogue
10/10 I plan to watch it again this weekend.
I also thought TWBB was miles better than NCFOM. Deeply thought provoking in religion, family, materialism. Great stuff.
I thought the movie was pretty good. They just don't make movies like these anymore.
Commando
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
I liked Hellboy 2! It's not as good as the comics though.
What are you, like 10?
It was rubbish. The only redeeming factor being the effects and the creatures.
That flame-chick was the worst actress ever in the history of the world. Ever.
Machine Girl. This movie is clearly not to be taken very seriously. It's over the top and has no qualms with being so. Now I love gratuitous violence in movies as much if not more than the next guy, but I don't so much care for 'cheesy' violence. This had the potential to be one badass movie, but decided to go a different way with it.

I liked it but I thought In The Mood For Love was better.
Agreed. In The Mood For Love is brilliant.
Munich
Makes a horrific and fascinating story bland and uninteresting: violence begets violence, Jews have had it tough, Palestinians are people too, Daniel Craig being extremely distracting, revenge makes monsters of us all and a hackneyed twin towers closing shot. zzzzzz. .The usual Speilberg liberal fudge. I agree with what he is saying but it's more Guardian opinion column than a proper film.
Surely he must have one more 'man hunted by beast or monstrous machine' movie left in him.
Also watched There will be blood again. Every bit as good on 2nd viewing and firmly into my top ten favourites.

Munich was dire, it could have been really been good too, it just wasnt
Takashi Mike's upcoming movie http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/sukiyakiwesterndjango/
Seen it. I enjoyed it.
I'll have to check it out.
Yes you will. It's one of Miike's tamer efforts.
Have you seen Rainy Dog, yet?
Not yet. Will look to get it today.
Meet the Spartans
Hilarious 10/10 ..

Worst movie I’ve ever seen. How can they be allowed to make more films like that one?
Unfortunately, a lot of people still come back for more. This time it's 'Disaster Movie', currently No1 on the IMDb list of the worst films ever made. It will make lots of money.
Because people keep watching em.
Death Race (2008)
fecking quality action movie
8/10
I've just watched this. Insane, then disturbing, then sad, then insane again.
I can see why you liked it, being a Miike fan and all, but it just didn't do it for me. I loved some of the director's treatments of insanity and disenfranchisement, mind.
Apparently the ending was supposed to be real (according to Korean posters on the IMDB forums) which takes a bit away from the movie as well.
Nah, the ending wasn't suppose to be real(according to the director. as well). Those Korean posters clearly didn't get the film.
Yeah I kinda hoped so. It makes sense in a drug-induced, criminally insane sort of way.
I think I'm desensitised to gore as a plot device. I wanted to like this but just couldn't in the end.
I watched Paprika after your recommendation a few months ago though. I've never said no to a bit of unbridled craziness, and I have to say I really liked that.
Next on my list will be The Chaser. I've heard good things, but we'll see.
Have just put Paprika on my list of movies to watch this week.
Happens, we can't all love the same films. And Paprika was brilliant, if ever David Lynch makes an anime, it'd be just like Paprika.
Not seen The Chaser, look forward to reading what you thought of it.
