Movie review thread...
-
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 -

Just watched Star Trek . The one that starts when they all meet at the Federation Acadamy . Wee bit cheesy in places but the Romulan bad guys are cool and the story is pretty bloody watchable as well . 7.5/10.

I have just introduce my daughter to the entire series of Indiana Jones. She had seen the new one but not the others. She watched all of them back to back. Couldn't pull her away. She thought the worst was the newest one. The best is Raiders and then The Last Crusade. So she has taste.<br />
<br />
They are still every bit as watchable as they were when I was her age. We all know how good they are but if you have kids of an acceptable age(though my 2 yo has been sitting here with us...)<br />
then get into it. They will love them! -
Just watched Final destination in 3-D, utterly appaling movie - terrible, absolutely terrible. 3-D was very cool though, my personal advice if you want to watch a 3-D film save your $$ for a Christmas Carol - who's 3-D trailer was probably the highlight of going to see final destination...
-
the real question on everynes minds, was that really THE FINAL Destination?
-
Orphan; a young couple with 2 young children adopt a girl from an orphange, but all about her is not as it seems. <br />
<br />
Pretty good thriller/almost horror, 7/10.<br />
<br />
Like all movies of this genre, there are moments where you sit there knowing you'd have done something different, but all in all, pretty good. -
Saw the Invictus trailer today. Looks ok I guess. The fake nose on Matt Damon looks worse than he one in oceans 13(and that was supposed to look bad).<br />
<br />
I don't want to go and watch this hoping they make a lot of noise about the AB's but I hope they keep it faithful to what happened. -
