The last movie you saw

[shaft]

Sherlock Holmes 2:Whatever The Subtitle Is = 3/10 - This "reimagining" of the franchise is simply fucking horrible. They don't even remotely feel like Sherlock Holmes movies but instead more like an episode of the A-Team. Seriously....Micheal Bay could NOT do any worse. Fuck you Hollywood for ruining yet another IP.

Mission Impossible 4:Whatever The Subtitle Is = 6/10 - This is easily the best of the current "Mission Impossible" films with Tom Cruise. It's still fucking retarded, but better than the earlier shit.

The Grey = 7/10 - A good old fashioned horror/thriller. Points taken off for being so utterly predictable, though.

Underworld Awakening = 3/10 - Kate Beckinsale once again in a tight black outfit and she looks just as good today as she did in the first movie a decade ago. Decent action and production values but overall this franchise has been milked for all it's worth and has nothing left to offer. Another annoying thing about this franchise is that every single film ends in a cliffhanger. Please stop making these movies. Kthnx.

Pretty sure you have your Mission Impossible and Holmes numbers mixed up.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Pretty sure you like horrible movies.

[shaft]

pretty sure fuck u...

MI showed spoiler clips from throughout the movie in the stupidly long intro...who does that? The movie was unoriginal and boring. Holmes on the other hand...even if you didn't like him having a superhuman 6th sense, at least it was somewhat original and well executed with all the time lapse jumping bullshit.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Both movies sucked. One sucked more than the other.

[shaft]

Apology accepted.

The problem with Sherlock Holmes is that Downey doesn't play the character Sherlock Holmes (anymore than he is a black dude). Instead, he's some other Victorian England detective with a keen eye and an action hero, the lovechild between Holmes and Rambo. So while it might be enjoyable as a movie, it's not really Sherlock Holmes. I shudder to think of a whole generation of people will never read the books and will think of Holmes as an action hero who somersaults out windows and runs around London with explosions chasing his heels.

I consider the same problem with the James Bond reboot. The old series were about off-the-wall gadgets and menacing villians. The new one might as well be Jason Bourne. It's great to watch, but it isn't the classic James Bond and that kind of damages the franchise on some level. The new series is as far serious from the intended character as Austin Powers is on the opposite end of the scale.

TL;DR: If you're going to change 90% of the lead character, you might as well change the name of the movie.

Hannah was better (and much, MUCH weirder than I expected it to be.

Morning Glory - 5/10 Chick flick that my wife picked out. I have to admit, I laughed my ass off. They didn't make too much of the romantic aspect, so it was tolerable in that regard. Plus, Rachel McAdams has an awesome, AWESOME ass.

[MrPink]

hanna was alright, ending was pretty dog poo though. and everyone that came around telling me "it's basically LEON 2!!!" after watching it was a massive twat.

The Grey 5/10
I couldn't get over the cheap ludicrously fake growl sound effects of the wolves and the obvious studio snow. Ended up closing the window 3/4th of the film because i couldn't be arsed unsuccesfully trying to suspend my disbelief anymore. Overall it seemed watchable (but annoyingly predictable) to be honest, just wasn't in the mood for it i think.

Children who chase lost voices from deep below 4/10
Anime about a school girl traveling to the underworld to save someone from death eternal or something. The missus insisted on seeing it because she's slightly crazy about the whole japenese cartoon thing, but i've only ever seen two or three of em that didn't bore me to tears. Giving it a 4 because i fell asleep near the end, which was easily the best part of the movie.

The Raven 6/10
Decent enough flick about Edgar Allen Poe who finds himself a suspect when someone starts murdering people in the ways of his horror stories. It's a damn shame they end up making him less of a suspect and more of an action hero halfway, which ruins the suspense. What also helps ruining the suspense was several completely out of place shots, for instance a slow motion matrix style shot of a bullet being fired from a gun, which just violently tears the viewer out of the 19th century world they so carefully built up and makes you go 'wtf'. I also had issues with the plot, which could have been so much better. Still, not bad.

Robocop - Still a classic after all these years. Sure, some of the tech hasn't aged well (the biggest thing that sticks out in Eighties Sci Fi being CRT monitors), but the Robocop suit itself is a masterpiece of Sci Fi cinema design, and the movie is still wonderfully subversive. Someone should start giving Verhoeven massive amounts of money to make Sci FI again.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

i re-spec'ed the Sabata trilogy

Got to love spaghetti westerns and Lee Van Cleef because he does (did *) it so well

Juan de los Muertos 10/10

Did you like Sean of the Dead? Did you? Did you really? The first Cuban zombie movie ever is loosely based on that, but beats the shit out of it on every level. And then some. It is absolutely hysterical, funniest movie i've seen in ages... brilliant. Go see

[Whiskey 7]

I sat an watched some TV last night for a change as there was what, I believed to be and interesting telemovie on: It was called Beaconsfield.

Now for those not familiar with the title/name, here is the wiki right here

The movie details the extraordinary events of 2 gold miners trapped underground for 14 days after surviving a collapse that killed a workmate Larry Knight.

Beaconsfield is a little mining community in the north of Tasmania, the island state of Australia to the south of the continent.

Doubt if you people will get to view but if you see it in passing, grab it. 9/10

Avengers Assemble - 10/10

Fucking brilliant

[xer0s]

No Country for Old Men 8/10

Great. The Coen bros do good work...

Avengers Assemble - 10/10

Fucking brilliant

[U4EA]

It's true.

[Tsakali]

well, that's completely unexpected. Good for them

[Don Carlos]

It was completely unexpected. Genuinely great action film that you can happily nerd out over. Relentless with the action and it had lots of Scarlett Johanson in a cat suit

Paranormal Stupidity 3 - Shit/Fuck You

Not scary, not entertaining, not engaging, nothing good about this "movie" at all, in any way. Do not waste your time, because you can't get it back.

Dude...I've been telling anyone who'll listen since Paranormal Shitivity 1 to avoid these turds at all cost.
The only theory I have that somewhat explains the unbelievable popularity of this series of turds is that the human race is actually brain dead from birth.

Madam X 6/10

Incomprehensible movie about an indonesian transvestite superhero that kicks the shit out of an intolerant muslim militia. It's mostly shit, but there are a few little jokes that sort of make up for having to sit through it. It's extra funny for Dutch people that one of the main characters speaks indonesian/dutch, he'll go 'ratsumpuplikikutiwonwong - behalve vrrrijdag en zaterrrdag' which is probably the funniest element in the whole thing. Giving it an extra point for that, and also an extra point for it being a rather gutsy movie for a country that is increasingly strict in it's Islam stuffs.

I also had a little chat with Madam X, who made a personal appearance on the festival dressed in the leather catladyboy outfit her character wears in the film... she's a lovely 'lady' and pretty damn funny
