Hated it. Fell asleep watching it, had a great dream. Woke up and felt disappointed to know that not only had the weak plot played out exactly as I had thought......it was still on.
1/10

Fast and Furious 5

Give it an awesome, but not epic 8.5/10 The Rock gives it a nice brutal edge at times. Bit much lovey dovey character depth in it for my liking in this sorta movie, but may appeal to more people than the last one because of it.

[HenryDorsetCase]

The girl with the dragon tattoo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_with_the_Dragon_Tattoo_(2009_film))(2009) .

Made from the first of a trilogy of books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_with_the_Dragon_Tattoo)by Stieg Larsson.

This first movie was fully Swedish language with subtitles.

40 years ago, the niece of a massive corporate's CEO disappears. He suspects that a member of his large family killed her and every year taunts him by sending a pressed flower from a different location around the world.

He hires a now-discredited investigative journalist to see if he can discover anything more from this cold case.

What is found is corporate corruption, nazi history, rape, extreme sadism and murders.
Thank goodness there is no singing, hollywood CGI effects or American actors. Anywhere!

My "guide" for this movie was providing a bit of background from the book as we watched and the book is seriously reccommended (apparently).
The books were written for the author's pleasure and were only published after his death. A statement on Swedish history and current societal issues.

The second and third movies are in english and will be looked forward to if they are up to the same calibre as this.

the books are brilliant, the first film is fantastic, unfortunately the last two not so much: different director, plus they had to excise bunches of subplots and stuff to get to a reasonable length. the new director didnt have the pacing right, and there was this attempt to focus on Blomqvist as the hero, when in fact he is merely the sidekick: Tonto to Lisbeth's Lone Ranger. Noomi Rapace is brilliant all the way through though. Definitely see the later two films, and let us know what you think of them.

Ahhh Zombies (aka Wasting Away) - 2007

A zombie movie with a difference - a budgetish (light) horror comedy shown from the zombies perspective.

I love zombie movies (dawn of the dead, land of the dead, shaun of the dead, zombieland, return of the living dead etc etc) so I sparked up a doob and watched this. Was it any good? Fuck knows I was wasted. Did I enjoy it? Yep.

Suck on that film review Kate Rodger.

Equilibrium (2002)

Watched this badass flick for the tenth time last night. Never get's old. The story is great and the action is top notch. If you liked The Matrix and Children of Men you'll love it.

Thanks for the advice dude. I recall when this came out it was compared to The Matrix and I thought it would just be a rip-off so I never watched it. Watched it tonight and thought it was very good. Quite a good social commentary while still being a very decent action/sci-fi flick.

And I loved the epic fight the nemisis :D

[HenryDorsetCase]

http://www.rothcpa.com/misc/20100317-1.jpg

bought the two disc special edition of this. Great movie though it was made in the '60's so it is s l o w and very expository for a modern audience. Lee Marvin, charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine, you can't ask for a better cast.

Loved it, one of the classic war movies.


http://www.movieposterdb.com/posters/10_08/2009/361748/l_361748_5b0f9748.jpg

I read too much about this and formed the opinion it would suck, so didnt bother seeing it on the big screen. Mate lent me the Blu Ray.

Its actually bloody good. Quentin tells a good story, its well paced, has the little quirks (yes, the foot fetish) we expect, the cast is pretty good. I like Bradley George, Eli Roth is great, and Christoph Waltz is excellent as a deranged Nazi.

total escapism, well executed.

Its not Pulp Fiction (my favourite film) but nothing is.

Cheers must watch that again.

Speaking of Bronson, I watched Once Upon A Time in The West again the other day. Absolute classic, easily one of my top 5 movies of all time, 10/10.

[HenryDorsetCase]

They had a restored directors cut 35mm print of Once Upon a Time in the West at last years film festival. Showed it on the giant screen at Hoyts with the good sound system. It was absolutely magic.

great film....

I bought the Clint Eastwood boxset and I am going to start with his Westerns. I love Westerns and war movies...

[specter]

and my exxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-friend...

she better be your ex if she says stuff like that!

[mashman]

Finally got to see Paul. I gotta say I enjoyed it. Crying funny in places, little touches of sci-fi's past dotted around, bit of slap-stick in places (part of the charm, for me), plenty of cheap giggles and a good enough script.

Attack on Leningrad (2009).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0432314/

The WW2 German attack on Russia left the city of Leningrad surrounded and under artillery shelling for close to three years. The only supply lines were across the frozen lake Ladoga and other extremely erratic methods of supply. The population starved and approximately 1.5 million died that way.

The movie portrays a british newspaper reporter who is presumed killed and left in the city while her fellow reporters bugger off back to Moscow. Her survival is the essence of the movie.

I had forgotten how well the Russian movies do "bleak" and this dragged on for 110mins.
Hopefully some Americans will watch it and appreciate the "non Hollywood" point of view...


Edit: Subtitled as well... yay.

Have you read Antony Beevor's book "STALINGRAD"? It is one of the best war history books I've ever read. He's also a very readable military historian. I have his book on the Spanish Civil War to read after I finished the book I'm reading

Watched 'Clash of the Titans' last night. Always good when a Greek Demi-god has an accent like Rolf Harris.

2/5 (for the special effects.)

Have all the viable movie plots already been used?

[Swoop]

Have you read Antony Beevor's book "STALINGRAD"?
No. Interestingly I have recently had a voucher from TBD... perhaps time to redeem?

I have read several books from soldier's points of view and visited Leningrad, Smolensk, Minsk and Moscow many years ago. The Russians have long memories of their battles.

About Zaitsev? Yes, a good movie.
Oddly enough, books on that era are far more appealing as they are not influenced by the hollywood bullshit.

The Other Guys (2010)

Cop comedy with Will Farrell & Mark Wahlberg co-starring/cameoing numerous other "name" actors like Michael Keaton, Eve Mendes, Samuel L Jackson, Dwayne Johnson and Steve Coogan.

Funniest Will Farrell movie I've seen since Anchorman (which isn't too hard really) but I enjoyed it. A couple of genuine laughs, lot's of silliness, and a number of weird & funny pop culture references including grand theft auto.

A solid 7/10 for me.

Movie: SALT

[Swoop]

The Hangover II.

For those who had a good laugh at the original, get your arses to the theatre!!!

Essentially the same plot (surprise, surprise...) but on a whole new level. The first part is setting the stage for what eventuates and it is good.

Sequals are rarely able to live up to expectations but this one does not fall into that category.

Once again, there are "those photos" at the end while the credits are rolling. You will be holding your sides through all of these!!!

The reaction of the audience was hilarious when the nightclub "dressing room scene" happened.:killingme

9.5/10 for me.

[Madness]

Holy E.T remake Batman!

A nice story line that keeps you guessing for most of the film. Shades of E.T, Stand By Me and even a touch of Predator for good measure.

7.5/10

[EJK]

This movie is a bit of a drag and bland. Nothing much happens in the first half, it's just bedtime story telling. But the effects (both visual and audio) later were quite impressive, that's for sure.

Story telling and illustration was much better than TF2. But it's not so hard making improvement from what originally was rubbish, is it?

It's a mix between Terminator Salvation and Armageddon. Oh who am I kidding, it's Michael Bay.

Lots of nice cars. That's about the only thing I liked about this movie (and the Chicago free fall air jump).

Unless you are REALLY fussy about 3D effects, big screen and huge sound, you can let this one slide. Save your money and watch it on Blu-Ray.

The only thing that doesn't transform in this movie is Michael Bay.


Would I recommend it to my friends? No. But I'm quite sure they'll watch it anyways.
Would I watch it again? I'll watch it again when I choose to watch Transformers 2 (which is.... never?)

Absolutely brutal, gore and creeping. However it is not as good as the other Saw series. It is the least twisting and clever, also most of the times it's (puzzles) are more pointless and unrelevant to past series.

It's clean, efficient and effective (funny words to describe a movie). It doesn't tend to drag, so that's why it is clean.
Easily one of the best heist films I've seen.

Ben Affleck's directing is simply solid.

Havn't seen or read the original.

Interesting to say the least. It is a decent horror film (with some clever bits here and there in the beginning and throughout the film) but it gets mildly amusing towards the end.

Would I recommend this to my friends: Not really.
Would I watch it again: No, not really.

I kind of got lost near the end.

Brilliant, amazing, fantastic... Highly recommended. CGI is absolutely flawless. I loved the very subtle relation to the original film (won't spoil it.... much) where a newspaper frontpage showing the lost mission to Mars. You will know when you see it.

Sucker Punch... not too sure what to make of it. Stunning visuals though (no not the ladies and what they're almost wearing, although :innocent:), sort of starts off slowly, blips into another world that lost me, eventually making sense... interesting film, well put together and very nearly fromage free. 7.5/10

Lebanon

Set just about entirely inside a tank in the Lebanon War. It's subtitled for a start, and has quite an indie/minimilast feel to it. Did quite well at some of the film festivals, and is more along the war is hell kind of line. Not rambo, more a lower budget apocalypse now or das boot etc.

Sounded absolutely mint on the home theater. The neighbours commented on the sounds of war this morning :doh:

Really?

It was alright but nothing I'd rush back to see twice. The audience view being entirely inside the tank, except for brief cross hair views looking out through the periscope, became tedious. I liked the 1988 ' Beast of war' far more, about a Russian tank that got lost from its' unit in Afganistan.

Fair enough. When a film is described as indie then chances are most people won't dig it. It usually either means it's going to shit, or above most peoples taste depending on which side of the fence you sit :bleh:

Actually, now that I think a bit more about it, it does rate up there. My post was my first reaction to the bits that put me off it. There were some incredibly powerful, thought provoking scenes and the closing last few seconds of the movie- the panoramic view blows you away.

Puss in Boots!

A spin-off from the Shrek movie genre, with Antonio Banderas as Puss, once again.
Walked into the theatre not expecting much and certainly hadn't given a thought towards a storyline. What eventuates is a combination of fairytale characters woven into one story. Not too badly done.

Certainly one for the kids and perhaps the adults should head off and finish the christmas shopping...
Not up there with the likes of Shrek, etc.

We watched the new Planet of the Apes movie over the weekend. Pretty good, surprised I liked it. 7/10

Drive 6/10. It was no more than almost interesting. It threatened to be something different, but just ticked along at a slow slow slow slow pace.

I thought DRIVE was superb. 9.5/10.

I think the disconnect is you went in expecting Fast and Furious 5.5, and its absolutely nothing like that. It has a quite noir-ish, and very 1970's feel. It reminded me quite a bit of VANISHING POINT in tone and some of the Steve McQueen films (BULLITT mostly): kind of that man alone, reserved hero type. Clint Eastwood-ish in a lot of ways.

I loved this and in fact it will be the only film I pay money to see twice on the big screen this year, probably.

Oh, and I'm a sucker for lame hollywood blockbusters so will be seeing TINTIN and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4 these hols.

"The Thing" - (the new 2010/11 version) I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't a remake of the 70's John Carpenter movie. Its actually a prequel if you like, finishing where the 70s movie started.

Is that what I went in expecting? Having seen 1 of the Fast n Shite series and not viewing trailers or shorts etc... for any movies I go to see, that makes you full o shite... It reminded me of a B rate TV Series, not knowing what it really wanted to be and going nowhere very slowly. Even ranked against the Fast n Shite I saw, it still wouldn't rate over a 7 from me. Did the noisy bits wake you up and you thought the rest of the movie was as good as the bits you saw? :shifty:

interesting. Do you find the same type of humour (THE HANGOVER, ANIMAL HOUSE, PORKYS even) funny when done by/about men?

I surprised myself by really enjoying BRIDESMAIDS. I really liked Kirsten Wiig, and the fat girl whose name escapes me.

We all know Ridley Scott is making a prequel to ALIEN, right? it is called PROMETHEUS. One to line up for I reckon. Noomi Rapce (Scandinavian star of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO is in it).

heh, I'm not fussed if it's men or women in the movie. The three you mention are completely different movies, all different situationally, which I guess enhances the humour of its context. A "chick" flick I did find fackin hilarious was The Sweetest Thing... and to a certain extent Miss Congeniality. Probably find if I went back to view the Animal House and Porkys again I'd have a different reaction to them

TinTin 3D - really enjoyed it. I'm old enough to have read the TinTin books as a kid, and the movie stays really true to the 1930s - 1940s style and form of the books. Details are excellent - the cars and (especially) the sidecar outfit. Check out the adjustable friction dampers on the bikes girder forks (anorak moment).

Animation is superb, sometimes very difficult to tell the difference between CGI and real. The TinTin charcter looks very human, the other "actors" are more caricatured (eg Haddocks big nose)

3D effects are not overly in your face, more of a depth of layered images (if you recall the old Viewmaster 3D reels, more like that)

If you ever wondered after watching the first Human Centipede "Hmmm what if the 'centipede' was longer...?" then this is the film for you. The story/ plot is simple. Just a long-ass human centipede, a dozen to be exact. Seriously that's it. The story goes like: A mentally retarded British looking midget kidnaps 12 people and stitches them all up.

If you want to see a dozen long human centipede "eating" and "digesting" all at simultaneously, this is the film for you.
If you want to see cheap violence and full of fake blood, this is the film for you.
If you want to see a film that pushes boundary, redefines the limit of "legal" in motion picture history, this is the film for you. (A Seriban Film pars)
If you want to see a film that tries to pursue within deepest, the darkest part of sick human minds, this is the film for you.

Shame really as the concept is something very familiar but done with a different slant, and done well, even if not acted overly well.

Being fond of animals I had to check out War horse
I later checked out film review sites on War Horse. Some recognised it as intended - good old fashioned entertainment and rated it worthwhile. Most others missed the point and blasted it for being too sentimental or for NOT being about the human suffering of war.

Idiots. It wasn't meant to be about the human element of war. It was about war as it effected the animals forced into our warfare. If you want to see a persons view of war then go see any one of the hundreds of other war movies made, including Spielbergs own Saving Pt Ryan and Shindler's List. Next they will criticise Star wars for being set in outer space.

Putting aside the over sentimental aspects War Horse was a good movie and well worth the big screen viewing. Brilliant war scenes like only Spielberg can do. Just when it may seem a bit candy coated at times Spielberg pulls the carpet out from under you.

The Adjustment Bureau - 8.5/10 ... I really enjoyed this movie, bizarre concept, good script, well acted... how I wish it was all that simple.

fantastic documentary/movie, not gonna describe it, you should just watch it

The Adjustment Bureau - 8.5/10 ... .

Yeah I enjoyed it too.

[mashman]

Killer Elite - 7/10... Good enough for a watch, some decent action, Cortina's racing Jags, guns blazing, ass kickins, 80's clothing and cuts, just a shame the movie didn't really feel like it was the 80's and the story was kind if bitty.

Made in America Crips and Bloods

Crips and Bloods doco from Stacey Peralta, who did Dog Town and Z Boys, which documented the emergence of the new school skating movement of the seventies in LA

In Made in America, he expands his honest portrayal of LA gang life, this time with the real McCoy's. The Watts riots and the more recent 1990 LA riots are reviewed along with an extensive sociological response to the issues of urban gangs in America

Check all the many black gang members with old english family surnames, and the heart wrenching interviews with mothers of the many killed very young black men.

A nice paced and reasonably accurate portrayal of some large LA gangs


'Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, Dogtown and Z-Boys director Stacy Peralta's unflinching documentary chronicles one of the longest-running civil wars in the history of America though a deeply humanistic lens. The Bloods and Crips are two of South Los Angeles' most notorious African-American gangs. While many outsiders simply cannot understand the decades-long cycle of despair and destruction that has come to define their daily lives, the individuals who comprise each gang......'

Snatch - 8/10 Great humour, loads of fun.

Limitless - 6.5/10 Like the premise, nice fantasy but some loose ends which made it semi-enjoyable.

Source Code - 7/10 Clever take on the old time travel/loop plot.

Tron Legacy - 8/10 Nice follow-up to the old movie. Great effects and of course, the never-old lightcycles!

Crank 2 - 5/10 Like the video game style of the movie but too chaotic and bizarre for my taste.

Thor and Green Lantern - 6/10 Great effects and semi-credible actors for the roles but plots were weak, felt the villians were underwhelming.

Requiem For A Dream (2000)

Fuck me. I loved this movie when I first saw it, and watching it again was like taking a big gob full of drugs - you get nervous as hell about how it's going to make you feel, but you're pretty sure it'll be intense.

I'm not even going to review it because I can't. But if you want a heavy but awesome movie then check this out if you haven't already.

8.5 on the IMDB scale (Top # 65 movie).

In Time.
260083
A very interesting futuristic concept of you living until you are 25 and then having one remaining year to live... unless you gain more time (by various means).

A little "Bonnie and Clyde" at one stage and Matrix in another.
Surprisingly I enjoyed it. Only at the end I wondered who the actors were and looked on the dvd case to find it was some talentless hack called "Timberlake".:facepalm:

6/10.

Requiem.. I'd forgot about this movie, desturbes the crap out of me every time.

Less of a movie, more like a car wreck - you know you really don't want to see whats going on but you can't help watching the rest.

Last time I watched it a couple years ago a friend of mine put it on thinking it was something else, the look on his *rather innocent* girlfriends face in some of the more intense parts was priceless - definatly worth subjecting myself to that movie again.

Oh Man I was gonna recommend "Darjeeling Express" as a good indy movie however compared to the previous movies reviewed it will seem pretty blue rinse set.

Just watched 'The Thing'. The new version. Quite liked it for what it was.

[pete376403]

New "Thing" prequels the previous (John Carpenter) movie, so it ties together rather well.

Last years one?

I didn't really understand it, started out like some slow as romantic thingy, then ended up with some face stomping and shotgun facing, but also still really slow. I'd give it about a 4/10

[HenryDorsetCase]

I'm with Pete: I thought DRIVE was one of the best films I saw all last year. I really liked Carey Mulligan in it, too: she was excellent.

They got the mood (very noir-ish) of a lot of the 70's films I love absolutely right: DRIVE is a future classic I think.

Fair enough, figure it was a common name and I might have missed out on another good one!

I just got bored with all the slow close up scenes of Ryan Gosling, almost as bad as 'tinker tailor soldier spy' with the 2 minute "eat a mint" scene, would give the later about a 1/10.

Well after, decades of watching movies, I absolutely recommend a recent release "Warrior' the local Lads at our Video store have been telling me I must watch this movie, their pick of the year.

So tonight the teenage daughters were out, wife distracted, I'm buggered from work, seriously knocking back the wine-o, so gave in and took it home. What Rocky did in the 1980s to say boxing movies can be worth watching, Warrior takes it up mega fold.

I have liked Nick Nolte throughout his career but tonight he excelled. Only a supporting role but this movie is absolutely the bees knees in emotional drama, action and total WOW! Blown away, must tell the guys at the shop.. well done. Leaped to one of my all time most enjoyable movies

In case you are lost it's about two troubled brothers, their horrible upbringing by a drunk Father/fighter trainer and caged ring fighting, but the story is much more than the fighting. Please give it a chance, watch it! Enjoy!
ps- I'm pissed and have spented more time checking my typing than typing

we rented LEON at the weekend: saw it at the pictures when it came out. Still amazingly good, and there was a lot of stuff in it I had forgotten. Natalie Portman's best ever role, and Jean Reno doing what he does: this is the basis of a lot of the great 90's action films (RONIN, particularly). and of course he was in the only really watchable MISSION IMPOSSIBLE reboot. And of course Besson wrote TAKEN.

anyway 10/10.

saw it in 3D

loved it,and Iron Man is still a very funny guy

worst performance was by Scarlett Johansson,not because she was bad,but just because all the other characters were so good.

Good special effects but not over the top,and actual character development which is a novelty in action movies these days.

Thanks to Stan Lee(who has his usual appearance in the movie)the marvel adaptations of the comics have been done very well and faithful to the way the heroes were written in the comics for the most part,and in my opinion the Avengers is a very good effort.

Bring on Avengers 2!

A mate has been banging on about this, and now I can see why. Funny as hell. Best comedy I've seen in a loooong loooong looong time. A satirical take on all the blaxploitation films. Think I'm Gonna Git You Sucka but heaps heaps funnier.

Men In Black 3 - mmmm, funny as hell in parts, cool ending but so-so overall. I'd give it 7/10.

The Avengers - ah yep, can agree with all comments I've read up above. Funny as hell, tricky to incorporate the various parts and even though lots of FX it wasn't over the top. Saw it in 3D and that might have helped. Scarlett was only window dressing in my view, her acting was left behind by the other big names. I'd give it 9.5/10.

[Tigadee]

Just watched Real Steel, was surprised that it was better than it appeared to be in the trailer.

I get a bit sceptical when my facebook fills with "X movie is awesome" posts but The Avengers really turned out to be fantastic. We skipped the 3D nonsense and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Robert Downey Jr reminds me of Max Biaggi :yes:

I thought THE AVENGERS was excellent also. So pleased for Joss Whedon.

MIB3 was good but not great, but I didnt feel the need to choke the counter bitch at Hoyts and demand my money back.

Yeah really enjoyed Prometheus.

Need to find a website of intellectuals anylysing it to answer a few gaps. One of those movies that left more questions than answers. The ending of course left it wide open for a sequel to a prequel, if that's possible.

Spoiler alert : they cocked up the closing scene though with the space jockey dying from a tummy burster in the wrong location. In the beginning of Alien his body is sitting in 'that chair' in his curved half circle ship with his guts split open, but in the end of Prometheus he dies lying on the floor of the Prometheus escape pod? How could they make such a clever movie and mix up such a simple but key sequence of continuation.

[Nova.]

watched that movie 'buried', what absolute shit, an hour and a bit of some cunt stuck in a box who never gets out...

[Usarka]

The 9th Company - looks interesting - ruskies vs ragheads. Where does one find it?

I watched 9th Company last night. Saw it on the shelf in the local video ezy, it had a couple of recommendation quotes on the cover from names i find more trustworthy than others (i think one was channel4).

In all i really enjoyed it. Some dumber moments, but the production was good both visual and audio, and it didn't seem to be as biased as similar films from the US. Story of some Soviet new recruits heading over to Afghanistan. It's kind of similar to full metal jacket.

One suggestion - watch it with english subtitles. The english dubbing is cringe worthy!

Um, they were at pains to point out that there were many ships and many space jockeys. also the planet (actually moon) they were on was LV223 and the action in the first alien film was LV4... from memory.

There were a bunch of othe plot holes, but dont think too hard about it, just go see it. Best use of 3D ever too

Brave - Easy enough to watch, plenty of giggles and the girls enjoyed it (me an mid child shared a tearful moment). However it felt like I had watched the movie before in one guise or another, so there was nothing too new in there really that warrants a higher score... for that it gets 7.5/10.

Fortress.
265463
A B-17 group is based in North Africa, with missions bombing Italy.

The visuals are like those out of Microsoft's combat flight simulator... 2000 edition. CGI has not been used well (at all?) and it shows.
The props used are rather plain (cockpit scenes especially) and if this is a "big budget" movie, then I'll be surprised.
The similarities of MASH were attempted in the camp, especially with the still for brewing alcohol.

Basically, don't see this movie. It's crap.

The Dark Knight Rises. Best of the three. Bane's voice was was feckin annoyin as it was too easy to miss his first few words before you tuned in again, although that coulda been the cinema. It started off a bit slow and after hearing that it had received bad reviews I thought I was in for a loooooooong movie... but once it kicked into gear, not too long into the movie, it kicked into gear. Not all out and out thumpin bumpin and chasin bad guys, which added something to the movie imho. 9/10

100% fucking awesome. Twisted. Unwell even. One of the best Spanish films I've seen...since the last one!

You were right, it takes some time to jump on the Nolan-train. Also you were right, I couldn't hear 60% what Bane said due to his mask (40% for the Batman). Next time I will need subtitles.

Overall it is a very good movie. Indubitably Christopher Nolan (and his brother).

8.75/10

Does that mean the lesson is to wait for the DVD so you can get the subtitles? After all it is only 2D ;)

What's a DVD? :scratch:

Haha jokes. Yes I will have to watch it again with a subtitle, as I'd recommend to anybody. Seriously.

The Amazing Spiderman: another movie that was slow to get going, the only difference with this one was it really didn't get going... it plodded along for what seemed like 3 hours re-telling, albeit with a slightly different bent, the story of how he was bitten and how Uncle Ben bit the bullet... after that was another 5 or 6 hours of padding in between Spiderman doing not much. There were a few giggles, but on the whole I was disappointed... t'was a bit like watching a mini series in 5 minute bites. Anyhoo, 6/10.

An interesting true story. Spike Lee has not stuck to the book and in places there are massive holes in the story.
Buffalo Soldiers (black troops) are involved in the Italian campaign and a section get themselves lost behind enemy lines. They link up with Italian villagers after finding a young boy on the battlefield.
The start and end of the movie is based in the 1980's, for quite relevant reasons...

Not as good as expected and at 3hrs long, waaaaaay too long for what it is.
5:10.

The Infidel... A Muslim finds out that he was born a Jew. Great script well acted and had me roaring nearly all the way through. Granted that could have been the beer...hell no. 8.5/10

Saw The Dark Knight Rises last night. Best Batman movie ever IMO and glad I went. It took a while to put everything happening in the start together & I was wondering if I had missed a film in the series (turns out I hadn't - it's just been 4 years). 8.5/10.

I noticed we're in for a new Superman movie next year and just saw on the net that Mad Max 4 is underway in Oz currently, fooking bring that on!

Watched Bernie last night.

Very good. Jack Black is one talented SOB.

Maggie was the highlight of the movie for me... scrat's visit to the centre of the earth being a close second and finally the film... not up to the standard of the other 3 although not really sure what it was missing, too many characters perhaps... and I've seen better disaster movies.

Agreed with the 6/10 given.

I'd give it a 7.5, bane had nothing on the joker, and it just showed how it is the villain's role to make a good batman movie great.
