Classic Arnie, shame the jokes weren't up to his usual standard.

I watched that too!
8/10 from me as well. I only more women had 3 boobs.

Me three! Very good movie I thought, but still had it's weak points. 7/10
Also: Bedazzled - Brendan Fraser is very funny as a Colombian drug Lord but the plot wears thin: 7/10

Hitman 10/10. a perfect movie in my opinion. you must go see it now that its out on rental and DVD. you wont regret it.
the action sequences were superb and the scene on the train was really touching. i love this film. ~smiles~

Hot Fuzz - 9.5/10

Great stuff. I can't really classify it but it is worth your time in every way, whatever kind of movie you fancy.

[BillyChaka]

Hitman

0/10

Probably the worst fucking piece of shit I've ever seen. For fucks sake. Timothy Olyphant as 47? Who the FUCK made that decision!? What the fuck?! This movie blew so hard it sucked. I waste my Netflix membership for this? This movie sucked donkey balls. Timothy Olyphant is probably the worst person to play someone like 47. Not only is he too young, but he had to shave is head and make is own voice deeper to play 47. They also not only changed the story for the game, but the costumes were just...

Ugh.

Near the end, 47 looks like a ninja turtle. That's all I have to say. Worst. Movie. Ever. DO NOT WATCH IT.

There Will Be Blood 10/10

Paul Thomas Anderson seriously has outdone himself. The same guy who directed Magnolia, BOOGIE NIGHTS, and fucking PUNCH DRUNK LOVE made a movie about oil and power. Anderson's a master at his use of long cuts and long takes. Not only that, but Daniel Day-Lewis' performance was simply astonishing. Great freakin' movie. WATCH IT.

Hogfather TV adaption

8/10, special effects were skimped on in the wrong places, and some of the scenes didn't cut perfectly.

Good acting, and well chosen actors, added to that, Susan is smexy.

[General]

Mongol 5/10 Its an average movie but I must say I like the fighting scenes even though its not often as I hope it to be.




The Kingdom 9/10 Surely better than I expect it to be.

FUNNIEST

Seriously, so damn hilarious.

"21"
Better than it looks, its main flaw being predictable towards the end. Illustrates Vegas a bit though, quite a nice movie. Some nice action, but not overdone.

Own it great film however I do think Shawn of the Dead was their better film.

Best line from the film : "Danny its Murder! No Nick it's just Ketchup see?" Classic

Just re-watched a more classic film The Dirty Dozen 7/10

Special effects 6/10 (what do you expect it's from the 60s? [1967])
Acting was first rate 9/10 I mean with a cast like Lee Marvin, Donald Sutherland and Marlon Brando you'd expect that kind of quality
Storyline: 8/10 no spoilers rent it you bums!

Also re-watched another classic in my 100 movie+ Collection

Soldier 8/10 and give me a chance to explain

Storyline 8.5/10 I'ts a brilliant feat of cinema. You have this pre-conditioned emotionless super soldier raised and selected from birth. If you drop out of "Boot Camp" which starts at age 4 or 5 you get shot. The perfect soldiers who do not hesitate to win, killing hostages who will get killed anyways to save your comrades in battle.

Kurt Russel Plays Sergeant Todd his kid play his character when he becomes a teanager. Anyways a new genetically breed of troops are made making him obsolete, he gets dumped on a shithole junk planet. With a group of peaceful people who have been stranded there for ages. Needless to say the personalities don't mix. He doesn't talk much saves a few of the people then almost kills one. The only person he identifies with is a mute kid much like himself. But gets exhiled for the safety of the community. No further spoilers!

Anyways the genetically superior troops who thought they killed him decide to kill the "enemy hostiles" i.e the civilians. Then he decides to kill all the enemy sodiers aprox 30 of them. His advantage as his former commander put it "These guys have seen alot of shit" meaning extensive combat experience whereas the new troops have none.

So he kills them all including a final showdown with the Soldier who thought he killed Todd. Best line "What are you going to do? [Lead female actor] I'm going to kill them all sir." [Sgt. Todd]

Takes over the spaceship/troop transport and flies all the survivors to a new home after blowing up the planet leaving the douchebag officers who left him for dead on it. Minus his former CO who stood up against the priciple villain officer and got shot.

Special effects 7/10 they could have done better but they weren't really needed
Acting 7/10 one of KR's better movies and some of the other actors are familiar to most can't pin down their names and I am too lazy to go to IMDB

Lethal Weapon 3

9/10

I forgot just how funny this film is, must watch

[Razven]

Went on a movie binge last night.

Cloverfield - 9/10 Flaming homeless poeple, the "Something horrible...something also horrible" was rather funny. Loved the fact that Grumpypants stomped on a Palidan SPA, loved the carpet bombing scene too...kinda reminded me of WiC.

Rambo - 9/10 I personally thought that not cutting back on the gore makes it a pretty strong anti-war statment since it does show all the horros and aftermath of what really happens when you the bullets start flying.

Black Hawk Down - 8/10 I liked it.

Behind enemy lines II - 7/10 Poeple say its shit, badly done special effects and bad plot. But it's still a pretty nice movie. Particularly liked the politics part.

Lions for Lambs - 6/10 ...strange -1, has a Tom Crusie hinting of running for President another -1, badly done end, -1. Overall...medicore at best.

[BeefJeRKy]

21 Blackjack movie. Very cool and academic (MIT, Harvard etc... ) 9/10 Amusing and not too predictable.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Next - 8/10

Twas a pretty cool film and probably the first "it was all a dream"-esque film that i haven't hated

[Chyros]

A Clockwork Orange - 8,5/10

Really hard to describe. Dystopian societies are always fasciniting, I think. Together with some strage linguistic stunts and creepy moments (the protagonist looks like a complete freak), makes for a very interesting movie.

[Libains]

Along Came a Spider - sequel to Kiss the Girls - based on the novel by James Patterson - follows Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) as he tracks down a kidnapper that lures him into his web of deceit after kidnapping the Senator's daughter.

Good movie, some great acting but not 'ol Morgan at his best: 8/10

[Ion Cannon!]

When a man falls in the woods. 0/10

Actually watched it a week ago. But im lazy. The review said " AMAZING" my guess is they edited it from "AMAZINGLY BORING!" Nothing happens for an entire 90 minutes. Its like the film industry cannot do deep yet interesting people, oh but never mind, they can chuck out loads of dull boring characters. But they're really deep! Nobody will mind. Yeah well, I mind. This film.. if it can be called that is not enjoyable.. not one bit! I got so bored of the dull sad characters that I really didn't care what happened to them. When one gets shot I didn't give a f. And yes thats the teeny weeny bit of excitement in the ENTIRE FILM. And yes that was a spoiler, but it doesn't matter anyways, because if you know whats good for you, you won't watch this piece of dog excrement anyway.

0/10 If I can give minus scores. -8/10

I Am Legend. 4/10

An Awful, Awful roll of film. I'm getting sick of all of these Glorify Will Smith Movies, Its not character development, its boring and stupid. The bonus comics on the dvd were more interesting then the actual movie, and I hate comic books.

[attachment=5789:i_am_leg...igposter.jpg]

[Libains]

@ ion cannon - yes that was dreadful - actually worse if that is possible.
@ nem - i din't think that I Am Legend was that bad - i would have given it a 7.5-8/10 - i just thought the stupid computer generated creatures were shite, especially the rats and dogs - with the humans not far behind.

As for me - The Lord of The Rings - all 3 extended editions - got to be a perfect 10/10 - they just add so much depth and quality and makes you wonder what the reviews would have been like had they shown these at the cinemas (aside from the inevitable '4 hours is too long for a movie)

[The Wandering Jew]

Platoon- 9/10

A Beautiful Mind- 9/10

XXX- 8/10 (Hey! Vin Diesel's movie, not the "other way around" :stickattack2: )

27 Dresses- 9/10 I know it's a chick flick, but I think Katherine Heigl's, well..y'know what the hell I mean...(wipes drool from lips)

[Libains]

Yeah - she's very easy on the eyes - haven't watched it but might get dragged by someone of a feminine nature.... doh!
Anyways - XXX is actually quite good - i'd give it 7.5/10

Ironman 10/10

Funny as hell and you will notice the difference, that Marvel directly created that movie (deep/no-rush character evolvment and a good story) If you like marvel comics, go see it. Top movie!
