Really?

I saw the trailers and thought it looked absolutely awful. Then i read this review, which confirmed my suspicions.

What makes it so good?

Edited to add:

Did i miss your sarcasm? Dubversion's post suggests that i might have.

oh behave

 

[Jim2k5]

personally, i loved it, i wasnt being sarcastic. im jsut a big fan of jason stathoms stuff and i also thought the advert looked good. its pretty much just full on action all the way. which is what i like in films, and i thought it was a good story.

 

[bellator]

Thought about getting Straw Dogs out, is it worth a look?

 

[wandarer]

Just watched Mirrormask, really enjoyed it. Very arty the girls imagination is insane kind of a cross between Salvador Dali and Tim Burton (Nightmare Before Christmas/CorpseBride) style. I want to see it again, as will pick up a lot more cross referencing of imagery as I now know the storyline.

Well tonight anyway I'm tucking in to my season 1 box set of 'Spooks' that I just got from the HMV sale

I have been really getting into the new series, the best yet I reckon...

 

[KellyDJ]

Ferris Buellers day off. First time I've ever seen it

 

[foamy]

March of the penguins

 

[CharlieAddict]

the black dahlia - ellroy's novel was complicated as hell, and one too many twists killed the film. i wish hollywood didn't fuck with the plot...the final 20 minutes seemed rushed, and out of pace.

works well as a novel.
but whoever wrote the screenplay should have simplified it.

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Soylent Green.

It's people apparently

 

[souljacker]

Saw II

Alright I suppose. The 'twist' was shit though.

 

[belboid]

Thought about getting Straw Dogs out, is it worth a look?

absolutely

I rewatched the Tales of Hoffmann - aah, what wonderful colours...

 

[elevendayempire]

Decided, for some reason, to re-watch Lord of the Rings, which had been gathering dust on my shelves for a year or so. With a bit of distance, it still looks very pretty, but it drags a bit in the extended version, and there's a real travelogue feel to it. Every few scenes there's another establishing shot of a castle or town or something, and a character announces that it's the mines of Moria or whatever. Imagine if people did that in real life...

"The city of Basingstoke. Here we will find refreshment in the Marks and Spencer..."

SG

 

[CharlieAddict]

final destination 3 - like happy tree friends in a fairground. i enjoyed it.

 

[Ranbay]

Brick - wow do not watch when really really stoned... it's hard to follow

 

[treabor]

LAST MOVIE I SAW was by luc besson great stuff called angel-a

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Yeah.

 

[sojourner]

Mystic River. Another one I didn't know why I had selected, and I wish I hadn't. Read the label blurb, thought 'Sean Penn, I like him as an actor', and he was ok in it, especially re his daughter when they first SPOILER ALERT




found her, but it turned to drivel after that. And as the credits rolled, I realised why - Directed by Clint Eastwood Fuck off Clink, you were only good in 1, maybe 2 films, as a fucking cowboy, get out of the directors chair and do the world a favour

 

[Orang Utan]

That's not entirely fair - he's a very talented director - have you seen Play Misty For Me?

 

[sojourner]

Yeh, ok, I did kinda like that...




But I last watched it fucking years ago when I had less taste

 

[Bomber]

I watched disc one from my newly acquired X-men Trilogy << Cyclops !

nah, no way - clint is a great actor/director and mystic river is a well told tragedy.

 

[Pingu]

enemy at the gates

not the greatest film in the world but I like it

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm having me a gore fest:
Tobe Hooper's The Toolbox Murders - a Friday 12th/Halloween rip-off slasher - lots of imaginative gory murders with household tools. I'm a sucker for those kind of b-movies, so I loved it - I also watched Freddy Vs Jason which was pretty unmemorable with a ridiculous plot (but not as ridiculous as Jason X which has a cloned Jason in on a spaceship. With a holodeck type thing).
I also watched House Of A Thousand Corpses - a truly dreadful piece of film making.

 

[Orang Utan]

Junebug.
Great little US indie film in the vein of Alexander Payne - a very charming performance from Amy Adams as a naive pregnant Southern belle. Great acting all round.

I didn't watch a film yesterday but I did go to the monthly Film Quiz at The Boogaloo called You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat. It was a jolly good laugh and really well put together. Despite my wealth of film knowledge we came 3rd... from last.

As a sampler, one of the questions was "what does TIE stand for in Star Wards TIE Fighters?"

In a way I'm glad I don't know the answer.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

x men last stand

it was unimaginably shit

some ok charactors but an ultemetly shit plot

 

[CharlieAddict]

batman begins - it took me over a year to watch this (batman with arnie still burns my mind) and yeah, it's really good. i loved brucie's ninja training and the new gotham city - very sci-fi.
