Eden Lake.

Jesus fucking christ, if you want to see some disturbing shit, see this.
A couple go vacationing in the woods, and are confronted by the local chav youths.
They somehow rub them the wrong way, of course, and have to deal with the consequences.

I've seen movies with a similar premise, like Deliverance, but, although there's no 'squeal like a pig' scene, this film trumps even that, with shear terror and awefulness.

Did a Terminator marathon before watching the new one...

Terminator: 7/10
Terminator 2: 8/10
Terminator 3: 5/10
Terminator Salvation: 7/10

I wish they showed a little bit more of why John Connor was supposed to be the awesome leader that he was made to be. Batman voice on the radio doesn't quite cut it. As it was, the movie wasn't about Connor at all and almost entirely about Marcus, which I suppose was the redeeming factor of an otherwise shitty movie.

Star Trek: 8/10
Enjoyable for the non-Star Trek fan. For purists, it may seem a little "odd". I suppose this is all "alternate reality" or something so it wouldn't matter much anyway.

MST3K: Manos the Hands of Fate

8/10 for the comedy, -97/10 for the actual movie. makes plan 9 from outer space look like schindler's list


Haha, mystery science theater tears this one apart pretty good. Its one the few i actually remember.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop - 5/10 - Had it's funny moments, not worth watching again. Ever.
The Taken - 7/10 - I recommend the watch. It was good the first time...
Valkyrie - 6/10 - Anyone but Tom Cruise would have made this a good movie. Obviously it would help to be interested in the topic.
My Bloody Valentine - 1/10 - You and i both know what a fucking joke this was. My favorite part is how you can tell which parts would have been '3-D- in the theater because they are outlines in a silvery-white color in the movie.

I've always been interested in this topic, so, I ad one fer that. Fer the most part, I didn't really notice that Tom Cruise was even there... so, one more fer that. I thought it was pretty good. 8/10

Crank 2:

Transformers 2. 6/10.

Typical Bay. so much camera pan it almost made me sick. disjointed story line and action. bad voice timing from the robots, normally prime. Explosions... every fucking thing blows up and not just a fuel type explosion, more like a oil refinery type Bunsfield affair.

Having said that if you can get past bay it's OK, i enjoyed it. some of the effects are outstanding. the SFX team must be pissed off when they find out the next job is a bay film.
Still, it's a shame Bay is doing this, could be much more.

terminator:salvation - 6 or 7/10

really not that bad, especially after the last one. dark and comic book'ish and only mentions time travel as a tangible fate for the characters to deal with. the guy playing the cyborg murderer outshines christian bale, who doesn't have a lot to work with.

...not sure why he did it or why they picked him. maybe if michael ironside's part had been merged into bale's or if they'd spent half a minute on cgi that gave a clue of the scale/structure of the resistance and connor's place in it, he might've been believable as a leader. as it was, his main sense of authority came from randomly picking up the blower to breath heavily at people living in some sort of perpetual duran duran video.

The Hangover - 8/10 - i laughed my ass right the fuck off. i would've given it 9, but they gave away far too much in the trailers.

The Horsemen 4/10
Transformers 2 - 9/10 Really enjoyed this one for the type of movie it was. Good action, special effects, and more backstory.

:olo:

speaking of perpetual duran duran videos, just watched:

the terminator - 6/10 - not nearly as enjoyable as T2, and i was amazed at how similar it was in so many ways (apart from budget of course) to the kind of thing the MST3K guys would have ripped apart (i'm thinking 'future wars' etc)

also, lol @ the 80s: walkmans the size of laptops, telephone books in phone booths, bad haircuts, shitty synth-pop, and everyone's default behaviour mode is "complete arsehole"

FAHK YOU AHS-HAWL

Diving bell and the Butterfly : 9/10 :up: :up:

Brilliant true story of a guy who suffers a massive stroke, he is almost completely paralyzed, except for the use of one eye.
Later, Through a system developed with therapy, where his therapist goes through the alphabet and he blinks at the letter he wants and she writes it down...... he manages to write an entire book. A fantastic film.

Up (3-D): 8/10

Pixar pleases. This one feels a little different than some of the other Pixar films. Hilarious and sentimental. Great characters, especially the non-human ones.

Generation Kill - 9/10 - good ensemble acting, minimal sappy Spielberg moments (band of brothers?)... well, i at least appreciate that the marines aren't the victims of some abstract fate (like Pvt Ryan), but rather blatant individual stupidity and misguided ambitions.

Transformers 2. 7/10

Fantastic action. Superior slo-Mos of Megan. Some dialog seemed a bit ridiculous, which is why it got a 7 instead of an 8.

Transformers - 5/10
Transformer 2 - 4/10

Some of the best green screen and computer effects i've ever seen. but beyond that not worth watching ever again. Typical Michael Bay orgy of slow motion running away from stuff blowing up, obvious characters and situations, and empty plot. John Tuturo saved the cast :up:

Star Trek - 7/10
Movie surprised me by being pretty good. :olo: @ J.J. Abram's love affair with time travel. Seriously is time travel that guy's answer to any problem?

Transformers 2 - 1/10

Bloody awful dialogue and acting - EVERY fucking scene with that stupid soldier guy in it made me cringe... random cockney (?) stealthfighter transformer, many MANY wtf moments.

The "old" transformers story was completely raped in the first film, and I was going into this film prepared to accept that and see what happened... but this new imagining of the transformers barely makes any sense at the best of times.

The pisspoor re-design of the autobots/decepticons was universal, barring the effort that went into Prime and bumblebee. In any fight that didn't involve those two (or the few glimpses of 'the other yellow one') the two factions are pretty much indistinguishable (hint - if they're standing beside the soldiers and not shooting at them, they're autobots).

michael bay... he learnt how to do 'explody' at film school, but that seems to be the extent of his prowess.

a 'prime' example of how uber-effects and cgi does not make a good movie.

oh and the film is longer than this post - and you feel every fucking minute of it (in a bad way)...

transformers 2 - 2/10
a bout of hot, watery diarrhea during an epileptic seizure that somehow still manages to be boring. the sambo-bot twins are downright fucking bewildering and everything else makes even less sense. optimus prime's booming camp narration from the back of a cereal packet is shakespeare next to the sci-fi channel extra that voices the spy plane,. ..and vesp is right, 'transformers two: revenge of the fallen' is an unbelievably long and tedious movie that drags like a burning contractor behind a toyota.

the parts where megan fox's glistening tits bounce up and down in slow motion as things explode behind her are ok.
