Added - Though honestly, that part of the movie is at best a sideplot that's barely even touched on. In his own movie. Go figure.

TRON:LEGACY 7/10

Visuals that literally made my eyes pop. WOW. Excellent soundtrack by the legendary duo Daft Punk :D
Story was weak though imo it was no worse than Avatar. Lots of subplots could have been developed. Lead actor was weak imo but Jeff Bridges did well, and Olivia Wilde was pleasing eye candy.

As to what RaiDK said, don't forget that Flynn was designing a world for humans, so there would be some of those things. Only the programs reinventing itself is unusual though theoretically, an AI should be able to do so. IMO the premise that a program can be embodied as a human lifeform makes far less sense.

Yeah, I can understand that - However based on the original I think that's an absolutely terrible route to take lore-wise as the 'new' look is a lot more generic than the old one. That's what made the original so appealing: The fact that it DIDN'T look like anything in our world. I have no idea why they'd ever think turning such an interesting premise into a generic bla-bla-bla-utopian-society thing would be a good idea.

I guess I was just expecting something comparable to the original. Though thinking about it now the original had a VERY niche appeal - you couldn't really market something like that to the masses.

Tron Legacy - Loved it, great atmosphere, great visuals and good acting. It was also nice for a sort of romance to play out somewhat properly not just " spontaneous snogging " so I give Kudos to Olivia Wilde and the scriptwriters for that. I also didn't have to see it in waste your money for a gimmick 3D, which is always a bonus

9/10

The Kings Speech - A pretty wonderful movie, it's not marketed as a comedy and nor should it be but it has enough funny moments to make you laugh, but not enough to make it light hearted. It's a pretty powerful film and features great acting and realistic character development. It's also just a nice film, not in the OTT patronising "Feel Good" way but in a subtler more impressive way. This isn't my typical kind of film and I was quite skeptical, but its really rather good.

9/10

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

0/10

I don't think I've ever seen such a soulless, heartless movie in a long time. Nor have I been so utterly depressed watching, of all things, a Disney movie. It's just so amazingly morbid from start to end.

Star Trek (2009)

It was cheesy enough for the fans but nice an accessible for other people. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Because when I think of Alice in Wonderland, I think "I wish it had more Mat Hatter breakdancing"

But just think how easily they could have taken out the jabberwocky if they had someone competent fight it!

tl;dr - This movie is boring, predictable, and Lord of War is the only movie starring Nicholas Cage that I like.

Martyrs - X/10

In a similar way to "A Serbian Film", the film is almost impossible to rate. I wouldn't really say i enjoyed it at all but i guess it achieves its aims well. A part of an IMDB review sums it up very nicely - " I hope like myself you have come away with a genuine sense of having seen something the like of which we are unlikely to see for some time.."

This film is definitely no shrinking violet. As a flat, we tried to find "horror" films of increasing potency and i think we have met our match with this.

Just watched a old movie called "Rollerball"

It had tits for the sake of tits when the people rolling around on skates and motorcycles was over. So, it'd be a 6/10

The King's Speech.

Definitely one of the better films of the last decade, pretty much should by a must-watch on anyone's list as I'm pretty sure anyone who doesn't think Michael Bay is the best director will enjoy it. As Ion stated, the humour is very well written into the story and the performances are very, very convinced. Rush gives one of his best performances, Firth was brilliant and Helena Bonham-Carter provided a well acted supporting role as well.

This is an example of actors making a film, not a film making actors.
9.5/10.

That movie was a massive mess of unintentional comedy. Maybe I'm just a sadistic bastard but my bro and I still crack up over this:

A SERIOUS SCENE!

Didn't find it very So-Bad-It's-Good, just sorta meh.

Quote

As long as the dark foundation of our nature, grim in its all-encompassing egoism, mad in its drive to make that egoism into reality, to devour everything and to define everything by itself, as long as that foundation is visible, as long as this truly original sin exists within us, we have no business here and there is no logical answer to our existence.
Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.

You can Kickass to that list too.


I recently watched Sanctum in 3D. I have to say that the plot was very paper thin and ridiculously predictable. The acting was very bad for the most part except maybe the lead actor (the father). The visuals and score were really good though, and somehow, I was able to get emotionally connected in the right moments. The movie got my heart racing at times and made me angry as well. So for that it redeems itself from utter failure. 6/10

He doesn't really STAR in that movie though, he has a relatively minor role.

Daybreakers

A plague has turned most of the human population into vampires, most of the remaining human population is being farmed for their blood, but there isn't enough to go around. (Vampire) scientists attempt to create a blood substitute as the situation becomes more and more dire.

Overall, it was a pretty decent film. It's an interesting storyline to take, but it would have been good to see more backstory. Some things didn't make complete sense, for example, why would the (new) cars have completely blacked out windows, why not just have a 2-way mirror or something? Some of the visuals were a bit dodgy at times, but nothing bad enough to distract from the story.

7/10

Cellular

A thriller with the premise of mobile phones being integrated into the plot. Sounds pretty silly, well it is in parts, but i felt this added to the film. Written by the same guy who wrote Phone Booth (he likes phones i guess :stickattack:) the film follows another phone related plot, but the two films aren't that similar.

If you like thrillers, then it's worth a watch.

---------------------------------------

Bob i think i watched Daybreakers once, the plot seems familiar but i can't remember it that well so it can't of been that good :xD:
