Just watched a movie ? let us know what you just watched with a simple watch, Avoid or if your bored next to it.

Lets face it people dont have the same taste in movies but its pretty simple to work out if you wanna watch it, the Watch or avoid is just a guideline to that genre, so if you like the genre then you will like the movie more than likely.

i'll start

today i watched

Finders Fee - Mystery Indie movie - Watch for sure

Red Eye - Thriller - Only if your bored ( though cillian murphy is creepy :D )


carry it on :D

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

now, firstly i would like to say that this film was advertised and marketed horribly. It's tagline is "Matt never saw her coming ... but all his friends had!" Now, terrible marketing out of the picture, this isnt actually a bad film, and it most certainly isn't the typical "teen movie" because it goes a lot deeper than the pure sexual tension of teens (american pie for example). I would say this film is more of a romantic commedy, and believe me, it sure delievers a blast!
the two main characters are: Elisha Cuthbert (plays kim bauer in 24) and Emile Hirsch.
Its a fantastic film, i give it.. 9/10!! if you getr the chance, watch it :)






**SPOILERS, NO READING UNLESS YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT ITS ABOUT**
ok so, the film is about a senior highschool student nerd, with barely any social life, friends and no girl friends. One night, he's taking the trash out and he sees this amazing girl get out of her car and walk up the drive to the house next door (Danielle). After a slightly cliché scene where matt sees her getting undressed in the room opposite his own, they begin to get to know each other, and eventually start to date. Then, matt finds out a shocking secret about this new girl friend... she used to be a porn star! after this, their relationship spirals out of control and with an entrance of Danielle's old boss, Matts life soon becomes a rollercoaster of misfortune, intrigue, love and adventure.

**END SPOILERS**

I just saw Rocky Balboa aswell, Monteeee. I'm not as big a fan as you however I thought it was brilliant. They even made Rocky lose in the end which would have happened in real life because of the age difference.

But yeah, fantastic film. Loved the main fight aswell.

Harsh Times - I Dont know wot to say about this movie.. it was well just possibly one of the greatest movies i have seen this year, it was just so powerful and moving, i found myself with tears in my eyes at the end of the movie. You connect so much with the characters the ending is just so sad... please watch this movie if u get chance


Rocky 6 - Ok well this is a no brainer, im probably the biggest stallone fan on this website, it was a great end to the saga. It lets you know more about the rocky character than most of the movies and how his fame can effect others around him. Awesome but then im slightly baised

Happy Feet

Its about a Penguin with 'happy feet'.

Erm well while it is one of the stranger kids films i have seen, its enjoyable, Robin Williams is funny, and it has some (surprisingly) strong messages about over fishing and pollution. In fact at one point it gets quite dark, and i heard some kids getting a bit destressed in the cinema while i was watching it. Overal fun to watch with family or friends, but not going to blow you away.

Little Miss Sunshine

I had a smile on my face the whole movie. It's great. If you think your family is dysfunctional, watch this movie. If you don't, watch it anyway.

Casino Royale

I have to agree, surprisingly, Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond. I can't wait for Bond 22.

X-3

Finally got to see this last night. I'd say not as strong as the second, but better than the first. A good action romp, with some great dialogue, and set pieces. Overal i enjoyed it!

Bob Roberts

Saw this last week sometime for Media. A very witty look into American politics by Tim Robbins. I'd recommend this to anyone interested for a high brow comedy. I enjoyed it a lot myself.

Part 1 of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather

Technically a TV movie, but thought i'd mention it anyway. I just saw the first part, and i was impressed at how well they have captured Pratchett's discworld on screen. The cinematograhpy is highly impressive, and the costumes, make up, and effects all work well. Only let down is some of the dialogue dosn't translate well from the book, and parts are not very snappy so to speak.

saw casino royale a week ago... pretty damn awesome i thought. first james bond i've seen that's actually physically suited to the role of 'highly trained british secret agent'. maybe im just thinking of pierce brosnan flailing his arms around whenever he got into a fight. either way the movie was sweet as.

pirates of the carribean dead mans chest - cant really remember what the first one was like but this wasn't too bad i guess. went on a bit longer than i'd expected but those squid/alien looking creatures on the flying dutchman (i think it was?) looked pretty damn cool. full props to whoever created them.


the big one i wanted to mention though.. miami vice. if you haven't seen this movie yet - dont. with tokyo drift taking the trophy for 'Worst Movie of All Time', this movie has got to be somewhere close behind. complete waste of money and exceedingly boring. you just know a movie sucks if half an hour into it you start wishing the movie would just end.. but nope it went on for another excruciating one and a half hours. its that bad. dont watch it unless you're monty and have bad taste in movies :P

Pan's Labyrinth

A fairy tale which is by no means for children.

A very well put together movie, both cinematically and scriptwise - however....

...This movie is desperately sad and moments of hope are few and far between. You don't get a reprieve. Even the colours of the sequences are sombre.

For a 15 it is also very graphic, there are some scenes where you'd wince.

I can guarantee that the final scenes will have you...well maybe not in tears but with a sad feeling in your chest.


Sounds good. I saw the trailer for this a while back, and became interested, after reading a review i became really interested. Now i just want to see this movie. Badly.

Oh yeah, i just saw Brick, and i must say i thoughroughly enjoyed it! Its been likened to Donnie Darko etc. due to its cult film hit with the critics status, however while it bears similarities, it differs in various ways. It is essentially a modern noir, set in an American College, however the dialogue is superbly written to make the cast seem like they could fit into any other noir film; for example in one scene where the protagonist Brendon is being questioned by the vice principle, i got the distinct impression this could just as easily of been a Private Investigator arguing with a Cop.

It can be slow to get moving, but i found it engrossing from the start, the plot is twisty, starting with Brendon looking for his ex-girlfriend after she asks for his help, and leading him on a chase through the a drug ring underworld, populated by interesting characters. Its superbly well done, and the twists and directing style remind me at times of Christopher Nolan, acclaimed director of Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, and The Prestige.

Summary: Watch it, its great.

I went out and saw The Foutain today. It was like watching a dream unfold. The film is most definatly not for everyone but it certianly will stick in your head for years to come. I left the theater blown away. All the critics bashing it will have their foots in their mouths in the years to come. It's right up there with 2001: A Space Odessey.

Going to go see De'ja vu tomorrow when I wake up. I'm hoping the Denzel factor will kick in and it will be good.
