Movie review thread...

(500) Days of Summer. A romantic comedy/drama about a guy who falls in love at first sight with a girl who doesn't believe in love. The film is presented in a non linear fashion, and hops around in random order through various events of their courtship. One of the better flick I have seen this year (along with The Hurt Locker).
-
Year One; Jack Black, Michael Cera<br />
<br />
plus a host of other b list actors. <br />
<br />
Had it's moments, but for the large part, pretty average 5.5/10 -
Sean is a dead set legend and a guy I'd love to meet someday but it can't be denied he has been in some absolute shitters of movies. <br />

I'd love to see this just to see how bad it is..... -
Yeah but he was in [i]Outland [/i]so he gets a free pass forever. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

[quote name='MN5'][quote name='dogmeat']Zardoz I think. Sean Connery is easy to categorise. If he has hair in the movie avoid it like the plague[/quote]<br />
<br />
Eh ? he had hair in ALL the Bonds ! Crazy talk dogmeat. Mind you most probably true in every other case....[/quote]<br />
<br />
The Rock, The Hunt For Red October, Highlander has hair in all of those and all are pretty good.<br />
<br />
I think any movie where he has some floppy fringe type deal going on is likely to be crap..Or obviously pony tail. -
Just wanted to add to the votes upthread for "Up" - went to a 10 am screening of that last week, took the 7 month old along to one of the baby friendly screenings.<br />
<br />
A poignant, funny and quite moving film. A simple story, fantastical in nature - but with real heart and hope in it. It sounds like sickly sweet viewing fare - but it's not.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed it - and as my baby fell asleep halfway through I got to watch it with her small head on my shoulder. It was primo. A Pixar film for kids to enjoy the story, but for adults to savour the meaning. -
The trailer for Martin Campbell's feature film remake of his own [i]Edge of Darkness[/i] miniseries is online:<br />

EDIT: And it looks about as bad as Gibson's accent sounds. -
Magic Man; Billy Zane<br />
<br />
In spite of the lack of any big name actors, a decent storyline, and decent actual acting, it still sucked! -

Expendable goodness, the 80s make a comeback! -
GI Joe - pretty average, some good action scenes mixed with silly action scenes; 5.4/10<br />
<br />
The Ugly truth, Kathryn Heigl - new age Rom/com? A few of these now obviously with a bit more male oriented content trying to draw in the male veiwers better? I quite liked it, had some good laughs, with the obvious ending...for the girls 7.4/10
