The Movie Review Thread

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)

We saw it at the Ascot cinema in Upper Hutt, which uses the Panastereo technology. Glasses from other theatres wont work, but they only charge $2 for glasses.

Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocol, great best of the franchise

+1. Thoroughly enjoyed it. As you say probably the best of the franchise... plenty of giggles, tension, action, thrills etc... 9/10

Damn I'm feeling blue. I feel like watching something really violent... something.... violent.... sadistic.... Soon I'm going to watch A Serbian Film (2010).

Who's seen it? What is it like?


Edit: Don't watch it. It is not worth it.

8mm is quite a good movie.

Biutiful

Amazing acting, is quite a long movie but was really good! Watch it

9/10



Hanna

I love kick ass movies and this young lass sure did kick ass! Girl from lovely bones, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett who plays a fantastic bad lady
Story-line wasn't overly outrageous but all good

8.5/10



Essential killing

Tower Heist

Saw this last night, rate it about 6/10. Ben Stiller in a semi-serious role. Plenty of familiar names, predictable but funny enough. Bridesmaids was better though

[Crasherfromwayback]

Gonna watch 'Hobo with a shotgun' shortly. Looking forward to it!!

Just watching Hangover 2 with family and friends. Seen it before but sides are still aching with laughter.

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.

You've been warned. I was warned too but then my curiosity got the better of me.

2.5/10

Hobo with a shotgun

Hilarious! Dark humour, lots of sweet gore
Don't be put off by the cover I almost was!

Was a good movie, I'd got for an 8 as the "coincidences" didn't really do it for me and the dude in the track suit really put me off .


In Time - 7.5/10, loses 1.0 (yes, should be 8.5) as Justin Timberlake is in it and really shouldn't have been imho, but hey. Shame really as the concept is something very familiar but done with a different slant, and done well, even if not acted overly well. Won't give it away, but it gives new meaning to the phrase, have you got two minutes. Iffen you can get past Timbersnake, I recommend it.

Rutger Hauer's best work since BLADE RUNNER.

Rutger Hauer's best work since BLADE RUNNER.

His only good work since I reckon.

[Trudes]

The Guard.
If you liked In Bruges you'll probably like this, similar dark humor and Irish accents
I'm a hard marker so will give it a 7.

Not a review, but the upcoming Prometheus is looking rather interesting! Due for release in June.
