The old movie thread: ratings and discussion' or some shiz

yeah....

 

Gone Baby Gone - A bit clunky in the editing and performances near the beginning but was really, really good once it got going. Casey Affleck is excellent as the self-righteous prick you're not sure if you should be rooting for or against. 8/10

 

Amazing movie :fightme:

 

If you haven't done so already, get the book. Very, very good.

Then read 'Provided You Don't Kiss Me' by Duncan Hamilton.

 

THE CHANGELING Very good film. Angelina Jolie's best performance ever at her most anorexic too. John Malkovich was good too here as the preacher who helps Jolie. Solid direction by Clint Eastwood. Some scenes involving child abuse are not recommendable fot the weak stomachs. 8/10

QUATUM OF SOLACE Daniel Craig proves once again that he IS the best James Bond ever. Very good follow up to Casino Royale with plenty of action and smart Bond escapades. The plot gets muddy at times, but then most Bond films suffers from the same problem. Nice 'homage' scene to Goldfinger with the naked dead girl on the bed but covered in oil instead of gold. I was entertained. 8/10


MILK Ok I finally watched this against the protest from my wife who wasn't much interested in it. I should had listened to her. While not terribly bad, it is insufferably preachy in pushing the gay agenda down the audiences throats. Sean Penn gave an Oscar worthy performance and that's much about it. Dan White is not portrayed as the homophobic pro-gay writers have continually labeled him on reviews. He is just a screw up guy with issues about losing his job like any post office worker. 5/10

MONSTERS VS ALIENS- 3D I watched it with my daughter and had a blast. Not only it has the best 3D effects of any movie I have seen in recent memory, but the plot is interesting, the characters are damn funny and had many memorable jokes. The scene with the USA president trying to communicate with the alien robot via Close encounter of The third kind five musical notes only to then switch to "Axel F" is a riot. Very entertyaining film for the whole family. 9/10

 

12 Rounds 6/10




John Cena's last movie The Marine was retarded and unwatchable.

Surprisingly this one is watchable, 100% action and no curveball being thrown at the audience. A typical popcorn movie......you dont have to think much and just enjoy the mindless action sequences. Of course, osfan didnt have to pay a cent to watch this thing, hence the grading is very generous.

 

In Bruges - Really a surprisingly fantastic film. Easily Colin Farrell's best performance since "Tigerland". Brendan Gleesan is amazing as Farrell's mentor and father figure in the world of hit men. The movie shifts perfectly between dark comedy, quiet moments, and short, quick bursts of violence.

Ralph Fiennes might be a bit annoying if you notice he's trying a little too hard to channel the Ben Kingsley character in "Sexy Beast", but his final scenes more then make up for it.

Highly recommended. 9/10

 

Fiennes was very good I thought. "I'm not doing a drive by in South Central L.A., I want a normal gun, for a normal person".

 

:bears:

 

I saw this movie last night, and it is probably the most disturbing movie I've seen. I don't watch that many horror films, so maybe it would not be that bad to other people, but it really freaked me out. It contains a 25 minute graphic torture scene and is just a really hard film to watch.

Yet another foreign movie getting remade by Hollywood. Maybe Illuminati would like this one.

 

I liked the midget.

There's going to be a race war. Black Midgets vs. White Midgets. ::

 

I didn't like it. Found it too slow, boring, depressing and there wasn't a single likable character IMO.

 

That's why we don't take you seriously when you recommend movies like "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants".

:nono:

 

Panchy, i am deeply disappointed and disturbed by your comment.

 

Yeah, I got this movie after reading reviews about it even though I'm leaning more towards not watching it.

 

it will not be a fun experience if you watch it. The director/writer are deeply disturbed individuals.

 

when o's fan can claim a better taste in movies than you, you know it's a sad state of affairs.

 

Everybody has a different taste in movies. For example: While some people found the Lord of The Rings movies extremely boring and a waste of precious time, others claim those are the best movies ever made. Me and my wife watched IN BRUGES and halfway through the film she walked out of the room. I watched the whole thing, but honestly I should had walked out too.

 

I can't disagree with either point of view on In Bruges. On one hand I thought it was a pretty okay movie, on the other hand I also found it pretty pointless and extremely overrated by most and I think a lot of that overration has to do with the fact that it was such an unhearlded movie.

 

Punisher 2 War Zone: 7/10 Best Punisher movie..that not saying much but still what a punisher movie should be a bout a lot of blood, hate and revenge...and the guy that played the punisher titus pullo from the HBO series ROME..did an excellent job...good job in portrain his pain,anguish,hearbreak,whatever over losing his family...

 

illum... life is too short. most of the world live in material poverty. walter benjamin told us: "It is only for the sake of those without hope that hope is given to us." maybe stop watching so many worthless movies and do some voluntary work, think about your charitable donations, beautify your spirit, spend more time with your family, challenge yourself, ...

 

Rooster u have a beautiful soul..and plenty of faith on humanity....u are Gahdhi...MLK..Mother Teresa

I'm more fuck the world..fuck humanity...kinda guy..i'm more Stalin,Hitler, Alexander The Great and such....The Scourge of God or the Devil whichever bring more calamity..

 

hitler, stalin, and alexander all felt they were saving the world in some way, moving it toward perfection. i don't think any of them would watch 'Punisher 2: War Zone'.

 

See i already have one on them....i wanna destroy the world...not make it perfect...:hammert:...destroy it slowly.....

 

slowly indeed, destroying one soul at a time, starting with your own. gradually eroding your mental and spiritual capacities via the most mind-numbing kind of pop-culture...
