Battleship Potemkin - 5/5 I am astonished this film was made in 1925, way ahead of its time |

Duelle (1976) - 3.5/5 If you like looking at ladies of the supernatural sort (hint hint), then this movie is for you. It's a dark, dense movie about only God knows what. Plenty of passageways to be crept through, that's for sure. |

Rampage - 6/10 a decent enough Uwe Boll flick (sic) |

"Karhozat," "Durian Durian," and "Happy Go Lucky" all receive B s from me. The films follow a hopeless man/beast, a sacrificial sex-worker, and a sassy embodiment light, respectively. Psychology with style is the name of these games, speaking of which, the new B&W murder mystery "The White Ribbon" gets a B+/A-. Why don't you watch these, tonight?! |

Splice - WTF/10 This movie just made me really uncomfortable to be around the others in the theater. I am disturbed by it. |

Inception - 3.5/5 It was a good movie, but I suppose it could have been better. I don't know, it seems that Nolan tried to find an even ground between a sophisticated, intellectual science fiction movie with a popcorn summer flick, so the interesting ideas brought up are not developed to satisfaction. It was good though I guess. It was far better than Children of Men, that's for sure. And Ellen Page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Inception 4/5 Amazing concept and as a whole well executed... just a little too much pointless action lets it down a little in the last third though. I would have preferred the pacing/balance of the first half of the film. The ending is crazy. |

Memoirs of a Geisha 4/5 I think it's a great introduction to this subject. After doing some research by reading the imdb board and wikipedia, I conclude the image is adequate enough. The town looks maybe a bit pretty, but that's what nobility strives for. Also I don't mind the sad romantic story because that's what Hollywood is about. Geisha's are a pretty cool invention. They're like knights of beauty, giving themselves to that goal. |

"Also I don't mind the sad romantic story because that's what Hollywood is about. " hollywoood is about s*x dr*qks and vi*lence |

Hollywood is about sex, drugs, violence. Life is about sex, drugs, violence. :: Hollywood is about life. :: Life is about Hollywood! Though I heard they really fixed up around Hollywood, and it's really nice now. Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show (2009) - [4+ outta 5] Not as nuanced and charming as the early episodes, but it was a heartwarming conclusion to the series. Putney Swope (1969) - [4+++ outta 5] Fucking laugh out loud hilarious scenes, lotta absurdity, and pacing is relatively contemporary for such an old film. Hurray. |

Life for the majority on this planet is not about s*x dr*qks and vi*lence, that is ... until they watch Hollywood films. |

hollywood stories typically have two things: something that needs solving and a romantic story (or arc). furthermore hollywood is as moral or amoral as it's public. if hollywood for instance puts people in a movie, or too much violence or whatever, it's because the public wants that. of course they have the power to change those bad things. but i'm saying they're not the only culprit |

jackie chan + Jaden Smith kung fu kid. aka karate kid 2010 9/10 , twas was really great. jaden is an awesome actor and the kung fu moves are slick. jackie, as always= top notch, although he killed an innocent insect in the begining of the film. but i forgave him as it was humorous being CGI. : P |

Eyes Wide Shut 10/10 seen this film about 8 times never liked it before now i think its a wonderful satire about how much of a complete willy tom cruise is. this is a film in which cruise plays himself playing a character in a film and shows himself up as the clueless slimeball braggard ( i just made this word up) that he is. all in all a wonderful masterpiece for all the family to enjoy. ps who is the chick in pantalaimalon's xltronic userpic thingamajig ? |

repo men 8/10 the setting of the movie is actually a bit ridiculous, but its well done overall and the disgusting scenes and the story development made me remember it for a while. nice ending too. |

inception - nice. it really wasnt bad at all. yknow how the matrix used the computer world thing as a gimmick that the film fully exploited visually and everything. well i think inception could have had a bit more fun with some of that dream stuff thats all. inland empire - this was a surprise cos i tried to watch it when i bought it ages ago and said FUCKOFF DAVID YOU POOF but i seriously enjoyed watching the whole thing a second time around. theres bits im not mad on, a lot of bits, but theres a lot that i seriously like. love a lot of bits in it actually. |

karate kid not bad not bad. nothing to really be faulting here. its how to correctly modernize a film imo but it shouldnt be done with a classic, so im surprised this worked out ok. it dosnt replace the original in any way but still manages to be a worthwhile retelling sunshine yea that danny boyle one. the night i watched it i was in the mood for space so it delivered there. but the whole thing got silly and even before that it was overwhelming itself with epic story. moon more space. i liked this. very tranquil tone, maybe too slow. it somehow keeps you feeling sort of charmed. i liked the ending a lot. yea this was nice |

predators - i dont understand. its hard to make a film and i know rodriguez wanted to make something good here so it wasnt just cashing in on a franchise, but shit it really feels like it just cos the film is so void and crap. if you were going to make a predator film..cmon..youd have some fun with the predator technology, some traps, lots of violent bits, lots of suspense. it wouldnt be any more expensive to do it like that. i honestly think good story telling is slipping coraline - half like half dont. but its nice. really great to watch with a kid. i really like the last 30 minutes |

That film is actually brilliant. I must watch it again! I'm going back a few months I think, here's some I remember: Inception - 9/10 - I thought it was a superb film, excellent plot with a nice interpretive ending at the end which gave you something to chew over afterwards. I could write paragraphs on it (and I might have done in an inception thread? My memory is hazy) Fantastic cast and score too. Predators - 4/10 - Really?! What was the point of this? Bought very few ideas to the mythology and was so desperate to recall the first movie that at times it came across as parody. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - 8/10 - Took me a while to get in to the books which I dismissed as trash at first but the film gripped me almost instantly and held me until the end. Wrights style is perfect for this although the speed at which events happen causes the end to loose a large chunk of emotional impact in my opinion. It seemed as if Scott and Ramona's relationship was barely a few weeks long due to the subtlety of changes that indicated time passing and the person I saw this with who hadn't read the book didn't pick up on it either. The film, much like the comic, is a love letter to video games and pathetic manchilds and an excellent one at that. Pleasantly surprised. Splice - 6/10 - Very interesting premise, bog standard execution. Machete - 5/10 - Entertaining in fits and bursts but laden with an unnecessary and confusing message which made the film boring in parts. The Expendables - 3/10 - Seriously, what a waste of time and money. You get all these people together to make a men on a mission film and it turns out to be dull shite. Tut tut. Jonah Hex - ?/10 - I couldn't even make it to the end. Guff. The Killer Inside Me - 9/10 - A staggering lead performance, tight script and genuinely unsettling violence. Absolutely brilliant. Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans - 7/10 - Thoroughly enjoyable if a little long. Nicolas Cage is good! |

IP Man 1 - 7/10 - SO good to see a great Kung Fu movie again. Haven't enjoyed one this much since Fist of Legend IP Man 2 - 4/10 - Oh well, that didn't last long. Prince of Persia - 3/10 - As part of an attempt at socialising with my new house mates. My slagging off the film didn't go down well. My choice from our limited selection was Zodiac and they all hated it. Oops. The Crazies (2010) - 6/10 - Actually had a good laugh watching this, perfectly fine popcorn fare. Repulsion - 7/10 - Fucking hell I felt drained after this. The Human Centipede - 3/10 - Rubbish, the villain is dull, the conclusion tiresome and the logic flawed. The film screams exploitation without being even a little bit fun. Nasty. The Final - 2/10 - Just don't. The A-Team - 5/10 - Blah blah blah. That's how this film felt to me. 'Hey it's the van!' 'He's not getting on a plane!' 'Cigars!'. Nice cast, just all over the top special effects and fan service. Robin Hood - 6/10 - I don't see why this got panned, it was perfectly fine and actually quite funny in parts. Bit of a damp squib ending but oh well. The Jackal - lol/10 - Bruce Willis dresses up in a lot of shit costumes in a crap remake. I actually enjoyed it because it was shit, which was nice. |

Machete - 7.8/10 - Aaalmost really good, but they eventually cut down on the "cheeziness of B-films" slant, which reveals just a mediocre story. WHY DEY DU DAT?! Metropolis - 10/10 - Perfect score, and I'm not even done with it cuz I can't stay awake. But from what I've seen, this was/is some next-level shit. Beautifully shot, amazing effects-- and I'm thinking that this might even be an Ultra Level perfect score, by actually also being the first self-parody film; one-thousand levels of parody spiraling into itself and breathing life INTO THE UNIVERSE!!! |

Machéte 9/10 just had a whole lotta laughs with an old time buddy. excellent "cuts"^^ some of the plot scenes were a bit lenghty. also the plot may not be something to enjoy over and over again but theres fantastic shots and ideas for b-movie and splatter fans in it. i was eager to see it and it exceeded my expectations. |

Rare exports : Movie about some people excavating Santa Close out of a norvegian mountain. This is suposed to be funny and strange but it quickly becomes just plain stupid. 2,5/5 (this is one extra point for the old naked elves penises) The troll hunter : Yet another northern foreign film. This one is amazing I really enjoyed it immensely. It's a documentary style horror film about .... a troll hunter yes. And there is so much variety in the situations and a fucking lot of really well animated trolls... Seriously check it out !!! 4,5 / 5 (would have ben a 5/5 if there had been troll penises) |

Source Code 2011 4/5 Good scifi movie, it keeps you interested throughout. Spoiler If you have not seen it yet, don't read anymore ........................................................... ................... i like the concept of being sent back in time to an alternative reality by inhabiting another persons body, but if it was a different universe to ours then how would they know it was the same bomber? might not of even happened, so how can they clarify what is the same and what is not. i feel the story lacked explanation of how this could of worked. Also at the end is it morally ok to continue to inhabit another persons body that you have hijacked? |
