The Kings Speech 9/10
Reminds how important it is to have, and be, a true friend.

How To Train Your Dragon 8/10

Heard this movie was good, but did not expect to like it as much as I did. -2 points for dragons that act like cats.

Paul was a 6/10 at best ... story was meh, every single alien stereotype was used in this movie with no originality anywhere in sight. The language was formulated to impress 14 year olds. I mean I get it, here is an alien from outer space asking for reeses pieces and I'm supposed to find that hilarious...fuck off.

Sounds like you missed the point... It was SUPPOSED to mimic every other movie/stereotype out there, that was the joke. The same way in Shaun, they copied many zombie movies.

You clearly don't get British humour, and are in fact a total twat.

Ponyo - 6 / 10. Great concept. Neat backgrounds. Felt poorly executed though. Story seemed pretty shallow for what it could have been.

Full Metal Jacket - 8 / 10

Star Trek - 7 / 10 You know, for being Star Trek, I was surprised I actually enjoyed this film.

Falling Down - 8 / 10

Next - 5/10. It was pretty disappointing. Jessica Biel is hot though.

Aye, same. As was that police movie they made, that was also pretty awful.

Shaun of the Dead was awesome.

Such a pity that most of the world has a shite sense of humour. Big shout out to Aus comedy though... :D

Looking forward to seeing Paul.

I wanted to get back to your point earlier but I didn't have the time.

The thing about british humor is that I do understand it, and for the most part I can make the correlations as to why british culture would find something funny. For example, there is definitely an entire category of humor that stems from etiquette which british still seem to hold to high value...atleast in spirit if not in practice, and some of it is actually good. However it's very subtle in the eyes of outsiders and you can't blame them for that. That being said... alot of british humor as I see it is very juvenile/unrefined and slapstick-like compared to most humor here in the US for instance. It looks as though british laff at shit we used to laff at over a decade ago. I'm not really sure what that denotes but it almost feels like on the humor department americans have a higher IQ. It's not just about misunderstanding the culture, because if that was the case alot of hollywood comedy would fall on deaf ears all around the world, but that's not the case.

Exit Through the Gift Shop - 9/10

A hilariously hijacked-and-hijacked-yet-again documentary about an eccentric mad man armed with a camera who sets out on a dangerous mission to film a failed documentary about graffiti artists. I guess it's a movie about a filmmaker becoming the artist and the artists becoming the filmmaker. It's hard to tell who's really behind the camera and who's in front, but it becomes a wonderful mix of the artists and filmmaker continuously turning the tables on each other with hilarious backfiring results. Or what if the whole documentary was a hoax? The what-ifs aren't important here and is sort of the point of the whole film.

Key players of the film are famous underground graffiti artists like Shephard Fairey, Invader and the notorious Banksy.

There are so few "Hollywood comedies" that are actually entertaining in the least, and this is coming from an American. I wouldn't even know who to name if someone asked me my favorite comedian these days. The shit that comes out isn't worth paying to see. Just look at who tops the Forbes list of the most overpaid actors. I honestly couldn't tell you the last one of his movies that I even cracked a smile while watching.

Have you not seen the original? Bridges could not pull off Rooster and Cambell did a better Texas Ranger by a mile. I gave the new one a 5, cause the kid was pretty cool.

The original had John Wayne in it who was a fat homo. Jeff Bridges is the nuts and one of the greatest actors alive. The fact you gave it a 5 just proves one thing...

You're a cunt.

p.s the girl was excellent

I approve of this message, despite the fact you're a Mass Effect wanker who watches the game's 10,000 cut scenes one handed.

Paul = 6/10 - Decent enough to watch while blasted or in the process of getting blasted.

And anyone who says Shaun Of The Dead sucked should be chained down and made the victim/target in the 2011 World Bukkakke Championship round...and it goes into overtime...four times.

Gulliver's Travels = 4/10 - What do you expect from a pack of lilliputian midget fagg0ts?
I came away from this film pretty sure I want to fuck Emily Blunt's mouth. Not sure though.

Thanks for the mini-thesis, but I think you're talking shit.

These cultural differences you're talking about have been rendered void over the past 20 years;
In the western world, the abundant availabilty of media has homogonized and streamlined the entire western audience.

There is no typically British or American comedy, anymore.

I don't think I really agree with that. British comedy series like Blackadder, The Office (the original) or Little Britain are completely different from most american sitcoms.

Indeed. Little Britain, The Inbetweeners, that Mitchel and Webb look etc are all very British and I would say that 99 out of 100 Americans would not get the type of humour that is within the shows.
Blackadder, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones might now be understood by the rest of the world as they are quite old now...I think British humour is far superior to most of the rest of the worlds. Plan B, this is not a troll attempt, just my opinion :)
