Children on Men.

I think you were in the porn section then old boy!!!!

 

[Mrs Coach]

Snakes on a Plane. Well. Ok if you're drunk or nothing else is on.

Stormbreaker. A very poor attempt to make Spy Kids in the UK.

You Me and Dupree. Although I'm not a fan of Owen Wilson, this was the best of the three films from blockbuster by post this week. I had a few laughs at it. Especially the fight with the security guard. Very 'carry on'!

 

[Mrs Coach]

Ah marks out of ten sorry.

Snakes on a Plane - 4.5 (would have been less, but the end music video is more amusing than the film) The snakes seemed to be on a mission to chew on any naughty bits. If it was an arm or a leg, they didn't seem interested!

Stormbreaker - 4. Even my son (for whom the film was on the list) wasn't impressed.

You Me and Dupree - 7. Owen Wilson seemed to keep his whispery voice acting to a minimum and there were some genuine laughs at times.

As I said, interesting and political.

Mighty Ducks

all time classic - 10/10

goal 2 - you KNOW whats going to happen - not to bad 6/10

 

[Common as Mook]

Hannibal Rising - 4.4 Load of old codswallop although slightly entertaining. Much better than the mockery that was 'Hannibal'. Haven't seen Red Dragon so can't comment and obviously not in the same stratosphere as 'Silence of the Lambs'

Check out Manhunter. Far superior to Silence of the Lambs and features two of my favs, William H Petersen and Brian Cox. Its Micheal Manns version of Red Dragon and is really dark while also being really 80's at the same time. Quality.

Severance - Done exactly what it said on the tin. Bit of gore, a few laughs and you can't really go wrong with a film where Danny Dyer says 'Sweet' when some breaks out a Bazooka.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Les, you still bringing sexy back?

Les, you still bringing sexy back?

Weekend off but from Monday I will continue to bring it back in full force.

The Departed 8.1

had to use your brian for this, an intricate plot but with a stellar cast, anyone who thinks Di Caprio cannot act, well you talking shite frankly, how can a film go wrong with Alec Baldwin, Damon, Di Caprio, Wahlberg, Nicholson, Winstone , well it can't and it didn't, very good and recommended. Scorsese is without a doubt the best film director never to win best director oscar since Hitchcock. I have a feeling this year he will pick up the gong.

He deserves a gong but not for this. A decent film but nothing else.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

not his best but far better than most directors could muster

I will agree with you there. Odd for a Martin S film I found it somewhat workman like.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I haven't seen this but I think he's off the boil - that film about Howard Hughes was decent enough but hardly Taxi Driver or even the King Of Comedy.

I take everyone here has seen After Hours? It's one of my favourite films EVER and I had a very long, messy night out in New York about a week after I first saw it.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Hot Fuzz - Please, please SEE this film. It is sooo funny, and there are some OTT murders to keep the horror fans happy.

Its got everything you could wish for.

British comedy at its BEST 9 out of 10.

Breakdown 7.3

Been meaning to watch this for some time, caught it on Sky, Kurt Russell in a decent thriller about breaking down in the mid US and his wife being kidnapped, pretty gripping throughout and a decent story, Russell's best film by far which is admittedly not saying a lot, recommended

Have you never seen The Thing? I make a point of watching that film every two years, its amazing.

The Thing 7.8

one of the greatest horror films ever made especially when the blokes head stretches and rips off his shoulders and falls to the ground and then the legs come out of the head and it runs around the floot upside down, top entertainment

end was a little weak though
