[Spoony]

You mentioned another one and all.

[Spoony]

Cheers, ILBB. I'll download that.

Sunshine was indeed a bit rubbish. Had a bit of potential then went all Hollywood.

Why???

No idea. It had real promise for a while.

 

[Wibble]

Oceans 13 More of the same only less coherent and far more yawn inducing. Which i though would be difficult. Summary = rubbish. 2/10

 

[Steev]

Aenigma - Lucio Fulci "Carrie" rip-off. Notable only for terrible acting and the scene where a young (naked) lady is killed in her bed by being smothered by snails.

2/10

Time of the Gypsies is brilliant

 

[Wolfboy]

Sunshine.

I's amatuer hour at the sci-fi convention. feck off Danny Boyle, and Alex Garland, yet again, they're being heralded as the fecking saviour of art house/sci-fi/cinematic history. My arse.

Danny Boyle needs to stop making films with Garland. I thinh he's just about the most over rated writer of all time. I've not really enjoyed a film he's made with Boyle and I also didn't really rate The Beach as a novel either.

 

[peterstorey]

I also didn't really rate The Beach as a novel either.

Possibly because it was a pile of steaming shit. Garland can't write to save his arse. The movie was marginally better.

 

[olesmyhero]

The Birdcage. Funny movie. Interested to see the original.

 

[mehro]

Z: rating - pretty fcuking good/10.

Watch it.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Once upon a time in China: 8/10

One of the best Martial arts movies of all time. Some comedic moments set in between the awesome action scenes. Jet Li plays the main protagonist.

Election: 8.5/10

A Hong Kong movie about the Triads electing a new leader. Great performance by Tony Leung(Big Tony) as Big D.

 

[golden_blunder]

Don't tell anyone

French movie by Jean Reno about a guy who thinks his wife was murdered but 8 years later starts getting contact from her again. Its actually quite good.

8/10

 

[olesmyhero]

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. You either love Wes Anderson's movies or hate them. I happen to love them, this one included.

 

[Wibble]

The Life Aquatic was one of the least funny "comedies" ever made. Even by the unfunny standards of Anderson.

I don't think I even smiled once.

 

[Spoony]

Worse than Anchorman?

surely not.

 

[Wibble]

Much worse. Think Talladega Nights and you won't be far off the mark.

 

[RedNome]

Requiem for a Dream

A film about drug addiction and it's subsequent affect on the lives of four people.

Great film but tough as feck, not a feel good by any stretch of the imagination.

8/10

 

[reelworld]

The Miracle of Bern

A movie about the German team victory in the 1954 World Cup. One of the best football movie I've seen. The story was very good, and the football was believable.

ASS TO ASS! ASS TO ASS!

That was the underlying message of Requiem for a Dream.

 

[Adebesi]

I'm just watching Being John Malkovich on telly, Id forgotten how brilliant this film is. Just had the bit where he goes into his own portal and everyone is him and all anyone can say is Malkovich. Got to be one of my all time favourite comedy moments. Absolutely genius.

 

[redmanc]

Getting a copy of American Gangster as we speak, been waiting for this to come out for fking ages!!

 

[Salvation]

The Painted Veil - Worth a watch. Simple story with decent performances

 

[olesmyhero]

Tout Du Suit. Fecking boring film.

 

[mehro]

Days of Being Wild - Kar Wai's direction was just as good in this movie as in In the Mood for Love. He seems to like soft endings for his movies. Really good music once again although not quite as good as ITMFL. A fairly enjoyable movie over all. Maggy Cheung looked really beautiful. 8/10

 

[crappycraperson]

GrindHouse- Death Proof.

Tarantino's lost it. Too self indulgent now, mainly because he knows his fanboys allow him to. He can make any shit and loads would lap it up.

Tried to pull of the conversations ala Pulp but the fact it was all between girls, made it rubbish. Wasn't because I could not relate but that it was too cliched. The final car stunt was well done, that's about it.

4/10

Am gonna watch Planet Terror tonite as well.

I preferred ITMFL, Fallen Angels and Chungking Express. And I'd say that Fallen Angels is probably his second best film. Very underrated.

 

[mehro]

ITMFL was definitely better. Close one between Chungking and Days. Haven't seen Fallen Angels.

 

[golden_blunder]

Daywatch - russian movie. even weirder than the first one, Nightwatch. Still cant decide if i loved or hated them

I think on those I'll have to wait to see the other two to accurately give a review of each of them.


Just watched Breaking News. Pretty decent movie by Johnnie To about cops going after bad guys and using the media to do it.

 

[ILBB15]

The Third Man-directed by Carol Reed.

I watched this film today again and it's still as brilliant as it was the first time I saw it.

The acting is great and if I had lived in those days when Alida Valli was in her prime I would have wanted to be her slave. Classy women like Valli are impossible to find these days.

8/10.

Film buffs, when are we doing that top 100 then?

 

[redzeppelin]

The Wind That Shakes the Barley

6/10

Kinda low budget movie. Mostly unknown actors with few gingers. Acting isn't that great.

After watching it, my dislike of England has exponentially increased.

Highly recommended.

 

[air_mood]

Got some free tickets to watch Stardust at the cinema. Pretty good movie. Robert De Niro in drags as well.

 

[Spoony]

Film buffs, when are we doing that top 100 then?

How?

 

[mehro]

We'd need a panel. 5-6 posters that'd choose them. Others can do the nominations. We can do 10 at a time. Start from the bottom. Invite everyone to put in their nominations and the panel picks or rates.

 

[Spoony]

Choose six posters then.

 

[olesmyhero]

Would these be best 100 or favorite 100?
