Movie review thread...
-
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.
-
Scary thing is Eddie Murphy wasnt the original choice for the part, Sly Stallone was.

[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. -

Trademark of quality. -
[quote name='Virgil']Finally got around to watch Paranormal Activity.[/QUOTE]<br />
<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. -

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. -

<br />
Ha,saw that too!<br />
<br />
makes you wonder just how these decision makers get jobs at a movie studio -
Saw Inception last night and it really is a must see. It's a bit like the Matrix, but way better I reckon. Acting was good except for the girl from Juno who I thought was pretty average. Movie keeps you guessing all the way through and really is edge of the seat stuff. 9.5/10
