Yes, I read your review.
I'm stuck on classics for now. trying to go through as much of Wilder and Capra as I can.

Film The Redcafe Movie review thread
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
Yes, I was told to watch that as well. Popcorn flick. Stupid ending.
That means I'd have to agree to watch it again....
If you want truly, truly shocking acting, watch a Kevin Smith film. Terrible film maker.
Seems a nice guy though.
Mallrats is brilliant.
But Dogma is quite possibly the most offensively bad film I have ever seen.

I've got about 6 movies to choose from to watch. Tough decisions ahead.
Apparantly Clerks is good but having seen Dogma and Jersey Girl I didn't dare attempt it.
Mallrats is alright.
Mallrats is alright.
Clerks is good. Its a little less inane than Mallrats, takes itself a little more seriously but is a decent film.
Just thinking about Dogma makes me angry.

I didn't think much of Mallrats, but I loved Clerks and Clerks 2.
Clerks is a classic film - i used to be a fan of Kevin Smith (I like clerks, mall rats and chasing amy) but his recent stuff has been pretty shite - if you have only seen Dogma and Jersey Girl then you have only seen the worst of his stuff
Of course she did. Tied you to the chair I assume.
Watched Quantum Of Solace last night.
It’s ok. The action is good and looks visually stunning, for half an hour I didn’t know where the film was going and by the end it had kind of passed me by and had me still a little puzzled by stuff. The plot never gripped me, I never felt involved or like it was remotely important. Ultimately, I can name 10 better Bond films. Oh and the gun barrel sequence is at the end, not the beginning. Gay.

That was after the movie.............
Run Fatboy Run. Didn't really care for it. Simon Pegg is likable as usual.
I dont know if this has already been discussed, but:
Quantum of Solace. What a totally bullshit name for a Bond film.

Eagle Eye. Starts off decent enough then takes a huge turn for the worse. Completely preposterous plot.
Agree with almost all of that. I almost fell asleep after the first half hour of ridiculous action scene after ridculous action scene. I felt the plot had a good premise but didn't really develop anything. It ended up being fairly irrelevant to anything really.
Quantum Of Solace.
Hmm. Not quite sure what to make of it. Craig isn't a Bond actor, which suits the last two films because they aren't Bond movies. This one seems slightly more adjusted to his style though - less of that cluttering 'dialogue' (such a nuisance in these action films eh?) and no suave demeanor - an all action hero, tough as nails.
Having watched it in the cinema, it's quite enjoyable. If you were going to be anal about it then I'd say there's too much to criticise.
It's inconsistent, seriously lacks focus and has an amatuerish plot.
At times it seems polished and well thought out, at other times it just seems like a watered down Bourne film. The bird is fit as feck. After an hour or so I had no idea what/who the aim/focus/bad guy was and didn't much care either. A distinct lack of cohesion rings loudly amongst the glossy, richly choreographed action sequences and it really ruins what could have been a great Bond film (despite the fact the James Bond wasn't in it).
6/10.
PS. The bird was fit.

Did you just copy an old review? I could swear I've read that before.
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Great film about a guy who commits suicide and then arrives into a afterlife. This afterlife looks exactly like his former reality but its only populated with people who have commited suicide.
7,5/10

Mehrosexual.
Snow Angels. Depressed people doing depressed things. Not that great of a film.
Traitor is a good film btw.... can't be asked to describe it.
Could you please describe it?
Poolhall Junkies. Main character is a god awful actor. Doesn't offer much.
I just saw Wall-E
obviously aimed at kids but was pretty good - it is basically a silent movie for about the first half hour with no dialogue at all but yet still kept me interested with a decent storyline

Role Models. Obviously the humor is not very 'smart' in it, but I thought it was funny.
Burn After Reading
Meh. Not funny.

Watched Way of War just now. Bit pointless. Mildly entertaining. 6/10.
They should make a Mad Max IV. I'm dying to know about what post acopalyptic capers Max has been getting into the past 20 years.
Started his own line of homemade sweaters.
Really? I have heard a bunch of people raving about the Cohen brothers new movie...
Shit. You can see why they havent bothered to carry on chronocling his life then. Mind you, now you've said it I cant say Im surprised. The signs were there. Domesticity was creeping in from the moment he refused to kill Blaster in Thunderdome.
He even tends his garden everyday. Also learned how to make a very good apple pie.
Armageddon
Shit, but watchable shit. Earns an extra mark for having Steve Buscemi in it, of course
6/10

Screened the documentary 'Spellbound' today to some students...anyone seen it?
is it about the kids spelling competition? That was a pretty good film
Quantum of Solace: Shit.
I can't pick out anything I particularly liked about it (except
)

OK, so you're watching a disaster movie, the big asteroid is coming, everyone is panicing and talking rapidly to one another down the phone, and you're just settling into the story... then all of a sudden you're taken away to some oil rig for no apparent reason where Ben Afflek is sleeping with Bruce Willis' daughter and gets chased around the rig for five hours?
Typical Michael Bay, utterly pointless.'Part from that it's Okay.
