The Movie Review Thread

[Bren]

Thought it might be a good idea...

Here is the first review

The Man from Earth...

This movie is to me a thought provoking piece of work, it was written by Jerome Bixby who also wrote episodes for The Twighlight Zone and Star Trek. It revolves around John who claims to be 14,000 years old who continually up and moves every ten years or so. Well on this particular move his friends decide to throw a small good bye party and John starts telling his story...
The movie is high on dialouge and low on action, but the good thing about it is the way the characters keep you wanting more.

:niceone::niceone::niceone::niceone:
I give this movie 4thumbs...

Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day

8/10
If you havent seen the first, go and do so, it gets a 9.5. Second is very similar, lots of action, good storyline, though being a sequel its a lot more predictable.

[SMOKEU]

Hungry bitches:
The full version of 2 girls 1 cup.

Hungry bitches:

What's the score for that? 2/1?


Saw Batman the Beginning last night.
7/10

Cool flick.

[mashman]

Green Zone - Doesn't really have much to stir the imagination. Pretty formulaic really. Nothing Bourney about it other than the quick flicking of the camera between shots... it's supposed to have political intrigue, but misses by a mile... A completely transparent movie, there are no "characters" to speak of... and all in all, it's pretty shit.

4/10

[Laava]

The Bounty Hunter. Jen Anniston and some other guy. He gets the contract to run her in cos she skipped bail blah blah etc. Nothing original. 4/10 No nudity or even Jen's nipples!
Straight to video store bargain bin.

What's the score for that? 2/1?



I dare you to watch it (if you haven't already) Most people find it very difficult to watch the whole movie from start to finish.

[EJK]

Only seen the part. Couldn't find the source for the whole one (not that I'm desperate to see it).

Mega Shark vs Giant Octupus. 1/10. Awwweesssome.

[Fatt Max]

Inglorious Basterds - 9/10

Pulp Fiction meets WWII

Brilliant story, fantastic characters especially the German SS detective (think he got an oscar) and a brilliant twist on what has been a subject over done so many times. Mike Myers popping up as a tally-ho British officer is classic.

Seen it twice, love it. Even Brad Pitt does well


Rise of the Foot Soldier
9.5/10
The story of Carlton Leach, ex ICF member who went on to become one of the top boys in the Essex underworld. Revolves around the murders in Rattenden in Essex where 3 big names in the Essesx mafia were gubbed down by persons unknown.

A gritty film, well acted and true to life, has some good shagging in it as well


The Damned United
10/10
The story of Brian Clough's 40 days in charge of Leeds United. Great fun, true to life and a good laugh. Displays Cloughie as the bastard of a manager he was. The best manager England never had. Anyone who knows anything about Cloughie and his legacy will love it. Even has the Bremner v Keegan punch up in the Charity Shield.

Enjoyed best with 12 beers, a block of Colby and a jar of pickled onions. Send the missus to the bing as well, she'll only ruin it...

Watching Death Proof now.....tell ya what it is like later (blame the shiftwork)

[Headbanger]

Watched half of Inglorious Basterds earlier tonight, Not enjoying it for some reason. I'll let it settle for a week then watch it again before passing judgment.

10 000BC
Beats me how much people hate this movie, sure its stupid, as stupid as the rest of the crap out there, as far as cavemen, mammoths, and Pyramids go its pretty damn good entertainment. Next people will be pulling apart the Conan movies. Would have benefited from more skank.

Ricky Gervais-Politics
Stand up comedy, From what I have seen on youtube I had high expectations, after 25 miserable minutes I gave up. Maybe its just me, Damned if I could sit through an episode of The Office.

Slightly over-rated movie. Think "remake of dawn of the dead" and you are not far from it. Not Tarantino's best work.

My Sister's Keeper...... make sure you have a box of tissues handy. Oh same applies for The Lovely Bones.

Well no, But I can't see how anyone can get any enjoyment on any level from watching movies about children dieing of cancer or getting molested and murdered.

They both had happy(ish) endings. I enjoyed Titanic as well, even though I knew how it would end. Each to their own. I enjoy a movie that has some feeling to it and a good story. I also enjoy a good cry now and again, just don't feel the need to do it on a public forum like others.

[Bren]

Well, watched death proof last night....meh, was not good in my books...only saw half and thought screw this...I give it 2 1/2 out of five....and the 1/2 comes from the score....the only good thing in it was the music!

Titanic had a fantastic ending, Though they could have improved the movie by having it at the beginning of the film.

I always get the giggles when watchin Titanic, I kept expecting Jack to start yelling "I'm going higher Gilbert" :rofl:

Just watched "It might get loud". Not exactly a movie, more of a doco, but bloody entertaining. It's basically a chat with 3 guitar players from 3 different generations, Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. Wicked how passionate they all are about music (now THAT is hot), loads of good music and just interesting. Worth a watch.

[Headbanger]

Moon.

Best movie I have seen in quite awhile.

[Swoop]

The Hurt Locker.

It is a story, but not an Academy Award winning masterpiece as some say. Not impressed with the hype of the movie even though what they are portraying has been a vital part of the Iraqi insurgent issue and deserves more attention. Luckily the Iraqis are setting up their own teams to do the same work. Adrenaline junkies from them - who knows? I doubt it though.

Chuckled at the brit team leader's comments on their captives, as they were escaping...

6/10 and being generous.

[FlangMasterJ]

Have you ever seen the phosphorescence that glows when you stir sea water with a stick? Same thing as grass that lights up when disturbed...

It's set on a different planet. I'd throw the movie an 8/10. I saw it in 3D, then 2D... Yes the story has been a little Americanised and as per usual the humans are fucking things up... but the story isn't that unrealistic and neither are the "oddities" in it... each to their own I guess... I reckon Avatar has more common day truisms than most movies...

I must have seen 2 completely different films... similar to Shooter... are you out of your mind... Shooter would pretty much rate a 9.4 in my book and that's because Marky's butch swagger just cracks me up...

And i'd give 5/10 for Green Zone: Reminded me of Ghost Recon... all those little politicalismsms videos in between shoot em up bits.

[Mudfart]

went to see clash of the titans in 3d. shelled out 18.50 for a ticket.
wore the 3d glasses that hurt your face.
its not really "action packed". its more a movie for fudge packers. the final action scene showdown takes 5 mins, so don't blink.
the guy from avatar makes a slightly better demigod hero than "orlando bloom" in kingdom of heaven. but only just.....
I think orlando forgot he wasn't filming "brokeback mountain", which absolutely should have starred him, from what i hear, (i havent seen it).
noway is clash better than the original. i like all the old school mythology movies.
nope, once you have seen brad pitts demigod character "archilles" in troy, you realise it will be a long time before anyone can beat that.

[Urano]

troy was horrid, but pitt was in "his" character in that film. his performance was perfect (way better than his mediocrity)...

Legion: 3/10. American movie where three families go through hell in a remote diner fighting angels with wings with machine guns, and trailer park girl has baby and trailer park boy gets trailer park girl and they stand on hill and watch sun come up. :rolleyes: Does actually have some alien-type neck biting, and angel grandma scene is funny as fuck, but you can watch that here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh448wMvAE4 Warning: don't show this to little kiddies.

Hurt Locker 7/10. Story about a military bomb disposal expert working in hostile territory. Small amount of action but a good story. Corny ending. Not much gore. I'd watch it again. A good story.

Just another love story: its Danish I think and in no way some sappy love story!! I hate romantic movies, best movie I have seen in ages http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024942/

Thirst: Korean take on the whole vampire craze http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762073/

Let the right one in: Swedish. Adolescent vampire girl, again a lot better than the regular vampire craze at the moment http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/

Time crimes: Spanish. Dont want to give it away too much but very cool http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/

I was not impressed by Avatar 3D. 5/10
Alice in Wonderland was so disastrously bad it will probably become a cult movie.
How to train your dragon 8/10 - Vikings + dragons are unbeatable, however it is not much different from Sky High (another excellent movie BTW).
Slightly older ones:
Gran Torino - 10/10
The Visitor -10/10
The visit of the orchestra - 10/10
Pretty sure the ones mentioned below are available on youtube, but if not, they are on bittorrent.
If you want to see a true cinematographic eyecandy, download a short cartoon called contact or kontakt from bittorrent. Credits are in russian but you can safely ignore them. 11/10.
If you want some giggles, download a short animation called latex (NWS). Probably not suitable for little kids, but funny as hell. Unrated.
For a really trippy classic cartoon, get "the mystery of the third planet". I do not thing there is a professional translation, but subtitles are decent. This movie cannot be described - it has to be seen 11/10.

Pretty much agree with you. Needed to be grittier and a little more serious. Damn Scarlett looked fine. She made Gwyneth look a little over the hill.

Pretty much agree too, would give it probably a 6.5 to possibly a 7 at a stretch. Maybe a 7 coz of all the mint cars and Scarlett was mega hot!

Pretty much agree with you. Needed to be grittier and a little more serious. Damn Scarlett looked fine. She made Gwyneth look a little over the hill.

Agreed about Scarlett and Gwyneth, it might have made it a more interesting movie if it were darker and grittier as mentioned but the lack of seriousness of the main character was part of the charm of the first movie, meh, whatever. It was a perfectly fine way to kill a couple of hours anyway.

Gran Torino - boring, predictable, over-acted. But cool car and over-all feel-good type movie. 6/10

Iron Man 2 - shoot me next time ACDC do the whole sound track for a movie. This movie had no ambience unlike the first. However it was not bad - and the acting was surprisingly good. Plot was what you expect - which is actually good in this instance. 7/10

Avatar 3D - cool effects (look up MASSIVE Software by the way), fail everywhere else. 6/10

We need the following into movies:
"Hiroshima" - John Hersey
"Quake movie"
"Atlas Shrugged" - Ayn Rand
"Bioshock movie"

Star Trek (beginning); surprisingly good, great 'young Spock' match, Leonard Nimoy guesting great-7.5/10
Shutter Island; mixed feelings, liked the 1st half the best, kinda disappointed with the ending-6.5/10

No country for old men; simple plot, but surprisingly enjoyable-8/10
Avatar 3D; too long, glasses gave me a headache and eye strain, would only want to see air/space battle part again-5/10
Agree with No Country... The ending could have been soooo much better since the build up through the movie was great! (Had to chuckle with Saturday's episode of the simpsons' where "mr Evil" knocks on the door!:rofl:

Avatar. Superb movie and I may have to track down a cinema with the 3d still screening. How the fuck the oscar went to the hurt locker over Avatar is beyond me. More backroom dealing?

Kick-Ass - Violent, funny, entertaining. The wife and I both enjoyed it.

Gran Torino - I rate this movie. Finally convinced the wife to watch it, she hates Clint Eastwood, but she thought it was one of the best movies she's seen recently and is happily recommending it to everyone she knows.

Robin Hood - (the new one with Russel Crowe). Thought it was pretty good until about the last 20 minutes. Like a lot of Ridley Scott films I'm guessing the director's cut will be better than the theatrical release.

[rachprice]

Man I hate Russel Crowe

[Ladydragon]

Went to see the film Boy last night really enjoyed it thought it was really good for a New Zeand film it also has five stars would recamend to see it

[sil3nt]

Avatar was terrible. Think i have said it before but it needs to be said again. The fancy CG distracted everyone from the horrible storyline.

[EJK]

Sunshine (2007) - Really recommended if you are into science fiction. It's thrilling, dramatic, quite realistic (in dramatic sense). One pf my personal favourite Si-Fi movie. Very enjoyable movie. 9/10

[Bren]

Took my kids down to see Iron man 2...not too bad for a bit of mindless entertainment...good scene on the Monaco F1 street track

[specter]

3 recent movies i LOVED:

no country for old men
gran tourino
law abiding citizen

Just watched Watchmen on the old shiny disc machine.

Very good. Long. Good soundtrack. Great on home theatre. On the watch-again list.

As is Old Boy.

Precious (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precious_(film)): Sad. Thought provoking. Inspirational. Not everyone's cup of tea, and at times a difficlut watch, but I liked it.

I would suggest to anyone interested in delving into the wonderous world of Bollywood to watch DHOOM 2! You will laugh, you will cry, it will change your life!

As this is a motorcycling forum I will add this interesting piece of trivia. The incidents of motorcycle related deaths in Mumbai increased dramatically after the release of each off the Dhoom movies. ATGATTers will have a field day.

UP.

Another from Pixar and a superb movie! Great family stuff.

Toy Story 2.
Enjoyed that and had to chuckle at the Star Wars reference during the fight scene ("I am your father!" "Noooooooo!!"). Nice touches.

Just watched Predators on the weekend.

Had soo much potential, but ended up giving soo much fail.
Disgrace to the franchise.

Also found an old copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (real actors not the cartoon) and
thoroughly enjoyed watching it, Was laughing the whole way. Got to love movies you watched as a kid.

[EJK]

Invictus: Highly recommended.

I read from somewhere that Morgan Freeman was born to act as Nelson Mandela (true). Also it was amazed how gun-shooting-action-figure Matt Damon performs as a rugby player.

Three things may suprise you:
*If you are not a big rugby fan, you'll see rugby differently after the movie.
*If you are a big rugby fan, you will not wait for the 2011 Rugby World cup.
*...and at the end, you will be gob smacked to find that Clint Eastwood was the director and the producer of the film.

9/10 (in my opinion anyways). A very good movie.

Here's one to ruin anyones cherished memories of Star Wars - my son has acquired (from goodness only knows where) the "Star wars special" movie, complete with appearances from the youthful Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher etc. Along with 'nostalgia critic' ("thatguywiththeglasses") review of it. The "special" is gob-smackingly horrendous, the review is hilarious.

also watched last night while son's computer was linked up to the tv his download of nostagia critics review of some mindbogglingly bad movie called "The Room" written produced and starring some gutwrenchingly dreadful man. But again, the review itself was so funny I nearly peed several times.

Law Abiding Citizen - Cool film, I enjoyed it very much last night. Similar to "Se7en" but not as grand. 8/10.

I saw this the other night and was a bit dissapointed.


I think my hopes were too high, but to me it was america saying "yeah we do bad shit but we do a reason and you can't touch us, so pptttthhhhhhh".

Antichrist

Some amazing shots and sequences, but pretty fucked up

Not sure if most of it is for shock value, didn't really realise why it was R18 until near the end (and its definitely deserved!)

Curiosity.

Spoil me. What made it so sick?

Let's just say eating domestic animals is easier to stomach EJ, ohhh can't spoil it... can I?

oh to slow too answer, mainly this couple are having sex when their baby falls out of a window and dies... so sex now is like a punishment/resentment.. I only watched the sick parts so missed the whole story line :)

[rachprice]

You might not want to read this.....



I think the chic thinks she is inherently evil, as she let her kid fall out the window and die because she was in the middle of an orgasm

So sex is a way out but makes her feel guilt too...

Apart from all the close up sex and the chic franticly going at herself in the forest the worst bits start when she is attacking him, trying to have sex (a common theme) and she flips out and grabs a massive bit of wood and smashes his dick with it, he is knocked out cold then she proceeds to beat him off and he comes blood.

She then drills a hole in his leg and puts a big weight in it so he cant leave her

Later on he wont kill her so she cuts her clitoris off with a pair of scissors (of which you get a lovely close up) and he strangles her in the end

If you can get past the brutality at the end (most of it isn't that bad if you don't mind a bit of sex) its a kinda interesting portrayal of chaos and order and the male/female roles in it

[rachprice]

I just watched law abiding citizen

I didn't expect anything more than some mindless action, which I very much needed after a big night!

It was all good, and exactly what a expected.....

I loved it when he says to the judge 'I bet you take it up the ass' hahaha

[Old Steve]

Some of my all time favourites:

Yeah - Gran Torino
Straw Dogs, Dustin Hoffman as the mild mannered husband of Susan George, final five minutes makes you shudder
Big Chill, mainly for the "my generation" music
Love Actually, soppy, predictable, but enjoyable - Love Colin!
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl who Played with Fire - even in Swedish with sub-titles really thrilling (and relatively close to the books),
Bullit - just for the car chase

Generally (because I'm a dancer) I loved it. Quite entertaining and 3D worked not bad.

SUCKS!!!!

If you are thinking of getting it out save some dollars and rent the original - still better even with the old school effects.

Was SOOOOOO disappointed...in fact I didn't even see it out to the end...BORING RICK!

Actually I would say it was as bad a FAIL as the 'Where the wild things are' film...crikey that was bollox also - fell asleep just before the end....fought sleep the whole way through.

Gran Torino.

Eastwood acting and directing. A nicely crafted story of Walt Kowalski.

Very nice.

Harry Brown 7/10... would love to have given it more, but it lacked "real" edge... the potential was there, but the story crawls along, slowly unfolding in a predictable manner (until the end) and there are too many pauses for thought (and arty photography)... Caine gives his usual great performance (especially when chattin to the dyin drug dealer)... Worth a watch, but don't expect too much (like i did)...

well, watched Dim Sum Funeral this afternoon...It is one of those soppy movies that makes you feel all good inside....basically is the story of an americanised Chinese family who have to organise a traditional funeral for their mum...The family is disfunctional to start off with and by the end of the movie is very much together....

4.5 out of 5 for the feel good factor....worth a look

Resident Evil: Afterlife

If Sir Issac Newton was alive, he would be one angry son of a bitch.
This is one of those action movies quite enjoyable to watch without logic or brain (the first 20 minutes). Plus, not knowing the actual game's story will improve enjoyment by 500%. Since I know the game's story in detail (big Resident Evil fan, played 2, 3, and 5), I was disappointed in so many levels (characters and heros).

Apart from that, not THAT bad movie. Could have been worse.

My Daughter went to the movie and came back wanting to murder M Night Shwhatisname. She said she nearly walked out of it.

(I took my Wife to it, but knowing it for years and years by it's T.V. series name I made a little error with the on-line booking process. Didn't notice until we'd sat down and it started - and a spaceship went past.)

[The Stranger]

After having seen The Fifth Element I didn't think it could actually happen - ever, but Claire IS hotter than Alice!

The film does raise some important questions such as:
Ok, there was a lot of water, but how did they stop all the water from evaporating in the shower scene?
and
Who would win a battle between Alice and Ripley?

As long as you werent expecting genius, it was fine.

[HenryDorsetCase]

THE AMERICAN is good. Serious George is serious (think SYRIANA, MICHAEL CLAYTON, not O BROTHER, or THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS).

One or two genuinely unexpected plot twists, a very naked and very bust Italian starlet (what is it about Italian women???) and some genuine tension.

Very worthwhile.

Enjoyable and fun chick flick. Ellen Page's acting and talents really shine.

6.5/10

just saw "the last airbender"
WHAT SHIT! i suppose if you have never seen the cartoons this movie would be pretty average, but it lacks most of the plot and the characters dont have the light heartiness to them.

Salt.
Angelina Jolie acting as a Russian sleeper agent, pretty shit casting using Americans as the two main Russian agents? Plot is good though, there is plenty of twists.

Based on the true story, a heart touching movie. Well worth the watch for those into law, engineering, automotive or anyone who has grudge against the Ford Motor Company.

Note: The movie is like A Beautiful Mind (2001)

8.5/10

[k14]

Watched The Town last night. Not a bad movie, was expecting a full on action but it is 50% action 50% romance/drama. So if you go in expecting that it's a decent movie. 7/10

Also watched The Good Guys. Had very low expectations but was pleasantly surprised how funny some parts were. They did go a bit far in a few scenes though. 7.5/10

[Gibbo89]

I saw The Tourist with Jolie and Depp, I thought it was quite average eh. Sometimes it moved so fucking slowly and it was all about Jolie's tits and arse (nothing wrong with that) but that alone doesn't make that movie worth going to the movies to watch it.

I'll wait and watch it in private when it appears on DVD :shifty:...

Hey personal opinions ;). I'm just suprised that two top stars' movie has such low rating.

check out LITTLE FOCKERS: Its got Robert DeNiro and a bunch of A and B listers, and its at 10% !!

Ive done fuck all but watch movies this holidays. Seen THE PRINCESS BRIDE (which I liked a lot) and PITCH BLACK and CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (both barely watchable, particularly in light of the Mark Vincent/Vin Diesel (Vin Diesel? really? thats your stage name? Vin fucking Diesel?)

also GET SMART (I'll watch anything with Anne Hathaway pretty much) which was a bit lame but watchable enough. I had had a couple of beers too which made it better-er.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND. I didnt attend at the movies thinking it would be lame. It isn't. It is in fact really good.

PULP FICTION. Probably my favourite movie of all.

STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KHAN. Definitely my favourite original crew movie. (well its a tossup between this and ST6:TUC)

Now working my way through THE MIGHTY BOOSH boxset. Awesomeness ensues.

[EJK]

<img width="220" src="http://www.reelcomix.com/admin/admin_images/spirit-dvd-art_1.jpg" />

I don't generally turn off my DVD player while watching unless I have to go out somewhere urgently.
Bland introduction and weary music turned me off.

No rating. Didn't finish the movie.

[Trudes]

If you want to see a decent series that hasn't hit NZ tele yet (as far as I know), then check out The Walking Dead.

[FlangMasterJ]

Agreed. Do you reckon they'll broadcast it over hear with it's high level of gore?

I hope they're making a follow on.

[EJK]

Certainly it's not as gory as Spartacus: Blood and <s>Sex</s> Sand?

[Trudes]

Probably, wasn't a whole lot worse than True Blood I thought, Prime will probably pick it up.
I hope they make a second series too, I thought they left it open-ended enough to do so.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Agree entirely. I'm not a huge fan of the genre, though I am a fan of George Romero (DAWN OF THE DEAD is one of my favourites of all time, and every time I go to a shopping mall I think of that film).

There are some nit-picky things you could raise (talk about a lot of bad decisions) but the thing was so well done. I particularly enjoyed episodes 4 and 6.

Second series is in pre production with an air date (unfortunately) of next October.

I just finished watching the final episodes of The Tudors too, fantastic! We all know how it ends and what happens to all his wives, but still damn entertaining!

A quite powerful, tense dramatic thriller but not as deep as you think it would go.
If you are a Liam Neeson fan (like me), you will enjoy it quite very much.

7.5/10

[HenryDorsetCase]

It suffered by comparison to THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, dont you think? They came out fairly close together too, if I remember.

[EJK]

Havn't seen Sean Connery's October yet. But will definitely check it out to compare (now on my list of "to watch"). However I prefer K19 over U-571 in comparison (different timeline however).

Thanks for letting me know. Will definitely check it out.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Plus, U-571 sucked arse. It was cheesy as, and completely historically inaccurate (Brits actually got the Enigma machine, and the Bletchley Park boffins broke the code). One of those situations where the actual story is far more interesting than the film.

[EJK]

<img src="http://www.londonnet.co.uk/files/images/cinema/news/taken-dvd-release.jpg" />

Yes, another Liam Neeson film.

Quite powerful, merciless and savage action packed thriller. No dramatic or deep heart touching stuff. This is simple, pure "what-you-see-what-you-get" savage blunt force trauma. But be warned, the movie ends like BOOM.

I'm very suprised how Liam Neeson has gone from cognac-drinking-gentleman (Shindler's List) to Bourne-Identity-isque action hero. Considering his age, he executed very well.

Much impressed. 8.0/10 but I'll give extra 0.5 for Liam Neeson.
