Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

[olesmyhero]

Wonderland. Nothing too impressive about this one. It tells the story of a gruesome crime which the ex porn star John Holmes was questioned about.

 

[R.N7]

Man Facing Southeast

Good movie. It's the film that k-pax was based upon.

Sleepy Hollow

Visually fantastic, disappointed with the story evolution.

Sleepy Hollow

I thought it was a brilliant film.

Iron Man - very watchable, unlike most comic book adaptations.

 

[olesmyhero]

City of Men. A good film. Not as good as City of God.

 

[francobaresi]

Gone Baby Gone

Just watched it on DVD

Loved it

8/10

 

[VII]

Hulk 6/10

Iron Man 7.5/10

Vipers 2/10

Imdb gave Vipers a 4/10 which must be the bonus for it being short. feck's sake, worst movie I've ever watched. The cgi isn't even on par with the Joe Cole's Head on Fire animated gif on this forum.

Anyone seen The Fall by Tarem Singh? was reading about it in a mag. Meant to be visually stunning.

Scent of a Woman is great. As for the other, watch Abre Los Ojos - it's the original(and the superior film)

Watch Persopolis, those who havent seen it.

animated Persian film? It's on my to watch list.

 

[Adebesi]

I havent watched a single film in about 3 weeks.

That's some fecked up repugnant shit.

 

[mehro]

The same. Saw it some time back. I keep forgetting to write reviews here. Rented Man of the Year yesterday and might go for Man on Wire sometime this weekend.

Loved the original. Didn't care much for the remake. It did have one brilliant song, Mondo 77 by Looper.

 

[mehro]

This thread is slowly dying. We've discussed every movie worth watching several times. Now the new posters come and bring up those same movies. We need to liven things up. Perhaps another list. Or the top 5 session we had once. That was fun. Whatever happened to cinc? And why doesn't Spammy post here any more?

Both good movies, remember Vanilla Sky got bad reviews but I thought it was a decent enough film

I'm (not) downloading The Fall, The Assassination of Jesse James and Persopolis.

I'm going to watch a nondownloaded version of Shiri later.

Why does everyone like Sleepy Hollow so much?

I liked the way they did, I believe it was Burton, are you not a fan

The Assassination of Jesse James - fecking excellent, one of Pitt's better performances and Affleck is class; excellent story as well

Did you like it? I thought that film was excellent.

I watched a Pakistani film called Khuda Kay Liye this eveing. The acting was pretty bad and it was a little one dimentional, but it had some interesting insights into some of the internal conflicts in Islam and it had a couple of very good bits of music in it.

I probably wouldnt recommend it to anyone, except those who want to be reminded that extremism is bad for the best part of three hours.

Shut up, you person with low IQ.

 

[Alex]

Just watch Old School, my feck was that hilarious

 

[Giggsy PO]

Awake

Very good. After 20 minutes you think: ok wtf could go wrong... And yet there is something.

 

[samabachan]

Disagree entirely. Nicely shot and all that but by Christ is it one of the most boring films ever made. I'd rather watch a televised cement making contest.

 

[RedNome]

Awake

Very good. After 20 minutes you think: ok wtf could go wrong... And yet there is something.

Awfull, awfull film.

Obvious, tedious filmaking at it's worst.

 

[R.N7]

Layer Cake

Decent.

7/10

Didn't end up watching it.

The decimal is in the wrong place

 

[sidsutton]

Iron Man was pretty darned good I thought. The plot was obvious but it did the job, nonetheless.

Persopolis does look interesting.

Man of the Year - Rubbish

Abre Los Ojos is a great movie, Mondo 77 is a great song. Easy as!

I watched Smokin' Aces the other day. Basically I ended up watching the most mainstream movie I had since I tried to get a girl in bed with me. It was more raw and serious than I anticipated. But luckily I still managed to get the goods afterwards.

 

[olesmyhero]

Smart People. It's supposed to be one of those engaging, thought provoking indie films. What it is a generic piece of filmmaking that doesn't lead to much with some subpar writing and directing. The only bright spot was Thomas Haden Church. It reminded me of The Savages, which I also did not care for.

3:10 - to Yuma

I am not a big fan of westerns, but great performances by Crowe and Bale made it a really enjoyable event. Obviously they gayed the ending.
