The Movies Thread

Gran Torino 9/10 - Clints straight talking was very funny and the ending was unexpected

Role Models 6/10 - I was looking forward to this and it was disappointing tbh, not as funny as i though it would be

Real Time 7/10 - Funny in parts but a little slow and i knew what was going to happen in the end from the get go. But even though i did there was another little twist that bought the whole film together
 
Felon (BD) - 8/10
Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff & Harold Perrineau play their roles well, and it also has the tasty Marisol Nichols (Nadia from 24) in it.

I'm looking forward to picking up Terminator 2: Skynet Edition on BD when it comes out (1st June). Seems a little close to the release of Salvation though.
Just need to decide on the 'standard' version, or the almost £70 one that comes with a Endoskeleton skull...

I watched Cloverfield last night

7.5/10

Not bad, can't say too much as it will ruin it for those that aint seen it. I would advise you not to sit too close to the tv tho as you may vomit

I'll give it a 8.5/10. I really enjoyed it, don't know why i didn't see it sooner.

That skull is awesome! Is it actually metallic? £70 is a lot....

I'm not sure, everywhere I looked just mentions that the eyes light up and play 'sound effects from the movie'. dvdworldusa.com is selling it for a shocking £119.99, but mentions that there would be an additional cost due to the weight (which to me indicates that it is metallic). If I do decide to buy it I'll get it from play.com as it's a lot cheaper.

I did find a trailer for the BD, but it doesn't mention anything about it either...

Watchmen

Without a doubt, Snyder was faithful to the graphic novel.
But when he had to make his choices as the director,
some of them were terrible such as the music and the slomo moments.
Could have been better, but it's a good film. Now, I look forward to watching this movie again with the "Ultimate Cut" version :).

8+/10

edit : Read the book again and watched the movie again.
I have to add a "+" to my note :).

Also, I find it surprising that, in France, the movie is only forbidden in cinemas for under 12s.
Some scenes can be very shocking.

Fully agree Stef. I've told a few people about [Rec] and they all say "oh, it sounds like Quarentine!" :ROLL:

You didnt saw the first 2 episode? The first one is a must to watch category.And even if u not gonna like the movies u will love the acting of Alessandro Nivola.(I guess these movies inspired the Be a pro/Become a legend games)
YouTube - Goal! The Dream Begins
YouTube - Goal 2 : Living The Dream (2007) Trailer
goal 3

Ive didnt expected too much from them but they were good and im sure i will watch the next episode too. There are so many big idiot,boring movies out there these are fine ones. I have one perfect word to describe these movies: entertaining...and nothing more but entertaining and u will enjoy these movies too :)

I agree with this 100%, it's never gonna win oscars etc, probably because it's a football movie they don't even know about it in the states. But for me, as for gabe, paul or logan, I also enjoyed it.
 
new star trek trailer http://redirectingat.com/?id=223X35...s/paramount/star_trek/startrek-tlr3_h480p.mov

i just cant help but feel this movie is star wars with captain kirk and co slapped on as the main characters.

this will truelly piss off true star trek fans if their truly going down this route.

star trek was never about action but more of the storyline that goes behind it. I am also fed up with remakes.

why couldnt they create and develope new characters in this new start trek movie like they have done so with deep space nine and next generation crew?

holywood running out of ideas, i can see why slumdog won so many oscars, it was original and refreshing and is not a holywood produced movie :)
 
The only good thing about any of the Goal movies was Anna Friel.

Otherwise the acting was shoddy, the plot silly and the football in it was as ever with these type of films, absolutely awful.
