Movie review thread...

Finally got around to watch Paranormal Activity.<br />
<br />
Better than i thought (wasnt expecting much after the Blair Witch hype), certainly has a few creepy wtf moments.<br />
<br />
I have since read there are 3 endings..<br />
<br />
SPOILER<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I watched the one where after alot of screaming and the couple not being seen after they leave the bedroom, the boyfriend is thrown directly at the camera and the girl friend walks in all bloody and sniffs the body.<br />
<br />
Went to You tube and found the other version, she cuts her own throat.<br />
<br />
Theres another ive heard where cops turn up? -

Dunno, ive read about it since.<br />
Its bloody confusing really, but from what i can gather the Theatrical version is the one i saw (throwing her BF at the camera at the end), the alternate ending is the throat slit.<br />
<br />
And now i see theres a sequel on the way. -
Grown Ups; one of the funnier Adam Sandler films for a few years!! <br />
<br />
Same old gang back together, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Steve Buscemi and Chris Rock too, plus the others that have bitparts in most of his movies<br />
<br />
C4 are playing the Beverly Hills Cop triliogy (do you call them a trilogy?) in recent weeks (BHC3 next Sunday - big step down in quality from 1 & 2) and these movies are still great!! -
yeah Murphy had a heap of charisma!! Axel was a fantastic character... wonder how much he ad-libbed? must have been hard to resist given his stand-up background.

[quote name='Kirwan']To be fair to the great man, it wasn't a comedy then just a straight up cop film.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
And that cop film turned out to be none other than the pure awesomeness of Cobra. Send in the Cobra motherfucker, so he can take down the bad guy in a fire and metal hooks factory. -
geez tim ,you really are lost in an alternative world of bad 80's films!

Cobra was handsdown the worst film of the 1980s.<br />
<br />
I oughtta know - I've watched it about 20 times. -

<br />
I watched it the only way it was meant to be watched - in a theatre packed with unsophisticated imbeciles raised on reality TV who actually believed what they were watching was authentic documentary. My buddy and I pissed ourselves laughing at the teenagers around us shouting "WTF!!" and "OMG!!!" and "This CANNOT be real!!" over and over and over. -

<br />
love the Bill Murray cameo as well.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
It was certainly enjoyable, but I was told it was the equal of Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive (Braindead), and for that expectation, IMO it came up short. I'd rate it a 7/10 (Shaun 8/10; Braindead 9.5/10). -

Law Abiding Citizen. Fist 3/4 excellent final 1/4 ridiculous.<br />
<br />
5/10<br />
<br />
The princess and the frog. 2D is so retro.... Not bad but certainly not great. A typical Disney song-a-thon. Kids loved it but otherwise completely forgettable.<br />
<br />
6/10<br />
<br />
Orphan. Not one I will watch ever again but very good horror/thriller. Well paced, well acted especially the tween star and unnerving.<br />
<br />
8/10 -
yeah Orphan was quite a creepy film, but pretty good!! One in a similar vein, Case 39 (I think it is called, with Sandra Bullock) although supernatural<br />
<br />
I thought LAC was awesome, aside form the shitty end! <br />
<br />
Now I know that as a book, where the Wild Things are is much loved and revered (not a big fan myself) and having not read it for years, thought maybe I'd see if I liked it in film....still not a fan, pretty average. -
