Uncle Spielberg's Film Club

[B.M.F]

8-10 for Cars. Disney back to their best with this one.
8-10 Over the Hedge. That hamster character had me pissing myself laughing as it was just so daft.
6-10 MI3. was ok for what it was
4-10 X-men3 not the best film in the world but that is not really surprising.
Last Drop 8-10 quite enjoyed this film. Was expecting a vintage war film as had not heard about it before but it was more like a robbers film based during the war. Entertaining enough apart from the very wooden acting by David Ginola That is my lot for this week

Saw Adrift this afternoon. I was the only one who thought it was goodish 5.8. The other 4 varying from average to poor and the cinema was muted with someone at the end credits pronouncing it " crap ". Its only got 4.5 on imdb and the reviews have been poor to very poor. Its about a gropu of 20 somethings going for a trip on a Yacht, the all go swimming and someone forgot to put the ladder down and its an hour of trying to get aboard with 3 people dying in the process.

Was going to see You, me and dupree and that may have been a better choice for the people who went to see it.

The preview for World Trade Centre were very very powerful. I will go and see that.

I watched Green Street the other night.
Didn't have high hopes for it, but I was pleasantly surpised. Lots and lots of rude words and people being nasty to each other. I was confused when Frodo turned up at a West Ham v Birmingham match, but it all fell into place soon enough.
Enjoyable.

8.1.

I thought it was ok and an interesting concept but I think I was in the minority, then again I am quite easily pleased. There's feck all on at the moment. World Trade Centre looks powerful and although I am uneasy about " coming to a cinema near you the day New York lost its heart and soul " by all accounts Stone and Greengrass Flight 93 have made powerful , thought provoking films in a controlled and balanced way and both films have had very good critical and public reviews.

I have been a nineties man tonight and brought a girly film to watch " Failure to Launch " to keep the boss happy as I was out most of yesterday and there's a North wind blowing. I will report later.

Was that the fight with the Birmingham lads after clearly watching West Ham V's QPR Tell the bloody yanks were involved with that film and did not do their homework properly

 

[El Turi]

The missus got some free tickets to see an advance screening of Little Miss Sunshine the other day. I wasn't expecting much but it was free and I ended up pleasantly suprised. It's a low budget film about a dysfunctional family travelling across the U.S. in a clapped out camper van. I'd give it 8.2.

Was fortunate enough to watch "City Of God" last night. Absolutley amazing film based on a true story about Rio De Janirio Gangs. Over 2 hours long and all in subtitles but even that didnt detract from the film.

9/10.

Anyone else seen this film? If not, its well worth renting or even buying.

Anyone else seen this film?

Yes, and it is indeed excellent.

Yes, and it is indeed excellent.

It certainly is. The initiation scene is one of the most disturbing bits of cinema I have ever seen.
