Semi-Pro (2008) * * * I know it's not original etc, but I'm a sucker for Will Ferrell and I like the fact that it just exists in its own little world, with almost nothing to do with ours. Chocolate (2008) * * * ½ Thai film from the stable that brought us Tony Jaa, about a autistic girl who becomes embroiled in gangsters from her mother's past. Nice action and some touching sequences, though a bit overdone. |

Gomorra 5/5 it's a movie about the Camorra, the most cruel crime organization of the last 30 years, taken from the book of Roberto Saviano, Gomorra. i didn't read it and i've found the movie quite disturbing, figure out. you can read a very interesting article here closing track by Massive Attack |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, one thing that the review doesn't say is that the Camorra invested in the reconstrution of the Twin Towers in NY city, too. |

Alien vs Predator Requiem - didn't finish the film, turned it off half way through when i realised i just didn't care about any of the characters, and or any conclusion to the very poor storyline. 0/10 Shrooms - didn't finish the film, turned it off half way through when i realised i just didn't care about any of the characters, and or any conclusion to the very poor storyline. 0/10 The Nines - after the last two films i watched i was expecting very little, but cover me in chocolate and call me jenny...it was brilliant. one of the best films i have seen in the last two years. 9/10 (obviously) |

Speed Racer 3/5 Saw this yesterday. It kinda (kinda) starts out alright. The driving parts are pretty cool. The style of the film, looking just like the cartoon, is kinda cool at first but then gets really distracting and annoying. Then the characters start going into these plot-advancing monologues or exchanges that just go on and on, all talking boring lawyer-speak or heavy melodrama which feels really inappropriate for what is essentially a cartoon. Plus the film has none of the innocence and cuteness of the original show, so the harsh language and violence feel really out of place and disturbing but not in a good way. but the driving is cool. I'd say if you don't see this on a big screen then don't bother watching it at all. |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 6/10 This is really the most I can give. You could say that Indy movies are all about self-references and pushing adventure genre to the extreme, but it was so cliched, uninventive and over-the-top that I dozed off for a good minute in the second half in a very loud theatre. If anyone remembers the game Fahrenheit and was also embarrased by how it all went downhill about 70% into the story than you know the feeling. This however goes downhill much sooner. Seriously unimpressive. |

The Aviator 4/5 Great movie, I loved the character work done by the pretty boy DiCaprio, probably the best modern movie I've seen in a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How are the sidekicks in this Indy movie? That always worries me since I saw Indiana Jones 2! Worse sidekicks ever. |

What did you think of Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn? She is good but sometimes her performances are a tad intense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah intense would be the right word to describe her I loved the way she talked, it really brought me to that period. I can't compare her to the real Katharine Hepburn since I've never seen her movies but at least the likeness was well matched. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought she was good in Coffee and Cigarettes. I still need to see that Bob Dylan joint but I heard she was really good in that too. Galadriel ... yea I dunno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHA, the sidekicks... feel warned, you are not gooing to like this movie. |

Is Shia LeBoeuf still crap? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Still? Was he crap in something else? I don't know the guy to be honest, but yes, he's utter crap. |

He was in... Transformers :-S |

Heat 3.5/5 Which came first, the story or the actors? I'm guessing the latter. A few good action sequences, then how the action affects families, and then a little bit of both. At the end, Pacino and De Niro shake hands. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The story did, because it's a remake of L.A. Takedown directed by the same person, Michael Mann. |
||||||||
|

Scott Plank and Alex McArthur came first! Thanks, I didn't know that. Now I like it even more! |

No problem :) I used to have both films on VHS back before I had a DVD player ;) |

Michael Clayton - 9/10 Engaging and brilliantly acted. What a great year 2007 was. I don't remember anything from "Network" by Sydney Lumet, but there's something similar in these two films, I'm sure. |

aye. laziness prevails. |

oooh yeah! Akira Kurosawa! Rashomon, Yojimbo are both excellent. I need to see 7 Samurai still. High & Low had a terrific first half, but a weak conclusion. |

I've been getting them from BitHQ and NGs.. I would buy them but we don't get the Criterion editions here. I picked up a 2-disc release of Kagemusha though, which was only £5, otherwise it's about £17 for a shitty BFI release with hardly anything on it and a weaker transfer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We have a good downtown library in the city I live that carries many Criterion discs, not just Akira Kurosawa. Are Criterion discs import-only for non-US audiences? Sucks if that's so. Even domestically many Criterions are high for US consumers. I prefer to rent before I invest in one. |

I watched Ang Lee's Hulk... what a clusterfuck. And the Hulk was like 20 feet tall at certain points, WTF |

[Rec] - 4/5 to be honest, i wasn't really "feelin'" this movie for the most part. I thought a lot of the reactions of the characters were not very natural which kind-of made it difficult to suspend disbelief. BUT the last 10 minutes or so of the film were sooo creepy and disturbing, it totally made up for its shortcomings. I never get weirded out by movies any more but... eesh. i was genuinely creeped out by a few of the final images. |

Do made-for-sci-fi-channel films count as films? If so, I give "Heatstroke" a 2.5/5 |

Juno 9/10 Recount 8/10 quite surprised by how good the latter film was |

The Changeling- 4/5, nice cheesy psychological horror with a strangely poor George C. Scott performance. He's, like, not even afraid. And that made me feel unafraid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but that movie took it too far, he was near King Kong-sized during a couple of scenes. I think I kind of enjoyed the movie just because of how hard it tried. It was very well meaning. |
