Movie review thread...

Hi CJ - did you watch at at the movies or on DVD (or a pireted version off the internet <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> ) just that of the not so glowing reviews I've heard about D9 have been from people that hadn't seen it on the big screen, just wondering if something of the effect of the movie gets lost in translation??

Saw a bloody good thriller starring the ever awesome Samuel L Jackson as the kind of cop who would suck to have as a neigbour, "Lakeview terrace".....he sure isn't happy that the black woman who has just moved in isn't married to a "brother".....<br />
<br />
SLJ is hilariously loud as always but also seriously menacing at the same time. -
some of the stuff SLJ does was amusing!! <br />
<br />
Saw G-Force - kids movie, with super hero Guinea Pigs...<br />
<br />
TR Jnr liked, it, I thought it was pretty average for akids flick, even directed by Mr. Bruckheimer -

You're a better Dad than me TR, NO WAY would I ever want to sit through shit like that ! <br />
<br />
Still by the time MN5 jr is old enough I'm sure he'll be keen to go to one of the inevitable sequels.....<br />

was between that, and Up, sadly due to him getting a Guinea Pig for his birthday, G-Force won, as I have heard Up is superb.

Took the kids to the 3D version and can report ..take your kids before its gone! Excellent movie. -
Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen etc...<br />
<br />
Really strong first hour then it fades. Hard.<br />
<br />
The stand up comedy is really good, apparently the Director got them to write their own material. Sandler is really starting to get some good roles these days... wonder when/if we'll get Happy Gilmore 2 - The Tigers Tale!<br />
<br />
First half = 8/10<br />
Second half = 3/10 -

Yeah, it went from being an interesting funny film, to quite forumulaic.<br />
<br />
Would have been better if [spoiler:280ukmgi]Sandler had died instead of getting better[/spoiler:280ukmgi] -
Saw the Soloist the other night. Really strong performances from Robert Downy Jr and Jamie Foxx and a true story. I say story, but it's more of a slice of life deal. Very good portrayal of mental illness on screen though, very disorientating at times.<br />
<br />
Oscar bait written all over it though, which can be a bit trying. -

ipod mate, plus a 1 hour kip thats how I get through some of the really bad ones. (wife won't let me use the same strategy at school concerts) -
In the Loop - promoted as the funniest British comedy in years. Which I guess might be the case if you think hearing someone say fluffybunny a lot is side splitting<br />
<br />
Save yrself $15 and go to one of those insullt generating web sites as thats the one piece of humour in the movie - one of the characters rants well but talk about tiresome.<br />
<br />
3/10 -

I am normally a fan of Sandler, but alot of his movies follow that formula; very funny first half, weak through to the last 5 or 10. -
(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 />
