Seen any good films recently ?.

[Uncle Spielberg]

My list recently has been

DVD

Wolf Creek 6.2 - pretty good but fizzled out in the last 15 minutes , ending up a bit dissapointed

Racing Stripes 5.9 - fairly jolly family fair about a Zebra who want to be a race horse ( the flies were superb )

Panic Room 6.7 - pretty good thriller with the lovely Ms Foster

The Wedding Crashers 6.1 - fairly amusing fare

Harold & Kumar get the munchies 6.9 - above par comedy with 2 very liekable leads, some funny scrapes along the way

Collateral 7.2 - Cruise in good form as the assassin

Cinema

Narnia - The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe 8.7 - quite simply the greatest fantasy film ever made, totally exceeded my expectations and now the most successful Disney film of all time

King Kong 8.1 - I thought it was absolutely great, did exactly what it said on the tin

Harry Potter 6.3 - fairly average fare with some good bits, whats all the fuss about ?

Next on the list is Munich

Seen any gooduns recently ?.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Bubba Ho-Tep

Definately worth a watch.

 

[Easy 10]

I watched The Usual Suspects (again) last night, which is simply excellent. Kevin Spacey is without doubt one of the greatest actors of his generation.

I also watched Highlander (came free with NOTW). Looks a bit dated now, but its still a quality slab of entertainment and I can see why I loved it so much when it first came out in 85'.

Starsky & Hutch was pretty piss poor.

Mulholland Drive was just feckin WEIRD. Starts out as an intrigueing thriller, but then descends into a bizarre, surrealist mess, before finally disappearing completely up its own arse. By the end, I was left sitting there, slack-jawed, straring into space with a "Whaaa ?" expression on my face (rather like at Withers lately when I hear the team read out). The saving grace of this film was that the delicious Naomi Watts exposes her BAPS a few times. It was a pleasure to make their acquaintence.
(Cheers T L B for lending it - I'll get it back to you as soon as I buy a padded envelope).

Got Flightplan on DVD for christmas. Top film.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Easy if you think that is weird

Have you see Eraserhead by the same director " acid trip on celluloid " but utterly unique and brilliant 8.0 , what the feck is going on in Lynch's head

 

[aftershavedave]

Brokeback Mountain, saw it yesterday afternoon.

Really good film, 8.5/10

Fine acting, great cinematography.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I heard Flightplan was pony and trap.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Saw Kill Bill Vol. 1 again last night. Hadn't seen it for a while and forgot how good it actually was 9.0

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

DVD - The God Father Trilogy - first time i've seen them, top films.

Cinema - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - strange but entertaining.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

watched airplane! last night.

just immense

watched a cock and bull story the other day. quite good

No way. Jodie Foster's not really my cup of tea but it really makes you think wether she's bonkers or not. The endings a bit corny and Hollywood but you forgive it that.

It's one of those films that seems to last about 5minutes.

 

[Napper]

green street

 

[Parson Henry]

Wedding Crashers - Passed the evening away- a bit frothy nothing special.

Alexander - Hated it. Wierd. How can the Ancient Greeks speak with an Oirish accent.

King Kong - Bloody Brilliant!!

 

[Uncle Buck]

I heard Flightplan was pony and trap.

Christ I actually agree with you about a film....

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

My ratings are less generous

- 5 is pony

5.5 + is worth watching

7+ is good

8 + is excellent

8.5 + is a masterpiece

9+ is virtually unheard off, only attained by Schindler's List, ET and Close Encounters ( spot the theme ).

 

[Les Biehn]

I do quite enjoy the odd slice of Lynch oddness, even if I don't get it. I really like Lost Highway, about as coherant as Mullholland Drive but in a strange way made more sense. Remeber seeing Blue Velvet late at night when I was about 13 and thinking that is was f***ed up and great at the same time. Haven't seen eraserhead.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Eraserhead will f*** you up.

 

[Les Biehn]

I heard Flightplan was pony and trap.

Strange one, for the first 70mins this is quite an entertaining little thriller. Then the last half hour descends into utter shite pretty much ruining everything that went before it.

 

[Timbo]

Watched 50 first dates on sky the other night. Thought that was quite good and Drew Barrymore is as fit as a butchers dog. Also watched Anchorman which is absolute shite.

 

[Les Biehn]

Anyone seen Pi. Thats quite f***ed but very good.
