SpongeBob SquarePants Movie:
******
I think this movie is great. At first I was a little sceptic, because I thought it would be a bit childish, but it wasn't! It has a good, ol' classic storyline, and actually a lot of The Simpsons-humor. I highly recommend you to watch this!

Panic Room:
****
Very good film. A claustrofobic cat 'n' mouse thriller with Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker as the main characters. The mother and the kid moves into a new house after a divorce. The same night they get robbers in their house, and they have to hide in the Panic Room to get away from them. I love the 'gas-and-lighter' scene.

Looney Tunes Back In Action:
*****
Great film with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Brendan Fraser as the main characters. They're all leaving to Vegas to rescue Brendans father and to steal back the monkeyhead diamond from the bad guys. Great film.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (movie)
****
This would have got a better score if I wasn't such a Hitchhiker's fan. The film is quite funny and entertaining, but I'd recommend any other thing to do with Hitchhiker's (including radio series, books, TV series, towels, music singles(!)) rather than this. Only watch if you haven't seen the TV series.

resident evil
and resident evil apacolips
totaly sweet sh!t those 2 own

*eye twitches*

Layer Cake - ****
Very good film with Daniel Craig (the up-and-coming James Bond) as a almost-retired drug dealer, who, as per the norm, gets pulled into the "one last job" scenario that has him risking his life on the line. Definately a film for more, how to say, acquired tastes, since anyone expecting the usual sex, drugs and guns film will be severly disappointed. Even if it does have all 3 in. It's definately a film that you'll find either superb or rather crap, as were some people's reviews of it. But it's a smart tale, utilising clever script-writing to divert you from the most obvious fact, something that doesn't hit you until the very end. I would definately recommend you get this on DVD. Based of a novel of the same name.

Unleashed - ****
Another superb film starring Jet Li, Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins, loosely based off a true story, I believe. While Jet Li's previous films are more coined for the simple 'Kick the **** out of things' approach, this one achieves everything needed to be a great film. Jet Li stars as Danny, a "dog" for all intents and purposes. Bob Hoskins' character, a criminal who ranks quite high in London's crime culture, is Danny's "uncle", and not an especially good one. Perfectly summarised by the comment "You can get 'em to do anything if you get them young enough", he simply "trained" Danny as a rent-a-thug, who only responds to his master and makes the strongest of thugs fear the consequences of 'the collar coming off', what with being a master martial artist. But when a planned car crash leaves Danny free of his master, he finds shelter in a piano teacher's (Morgan Freeman) home, and learns how to be a real human, through experiences and humourous consequences with ice cream. Of course, there's enough twists and turns to sustain Danny's training, and the fight scenes look and sound eerily real, having less of martial arts and resorting to more brutish moves. I'd definately recommend you to see this, and I believe it comes out on DVD very soon.

Now, can we get away from the kids films and "own"ing bad video-game tie-ins?

Young Frankenstein *****
Classic Mel Brookes film starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Peter Boyle. This isn't your run of the mill Frankenstein film, as it is a hilarious parody of Frankenstein. It starts off with Dr Frankenstein (Gene Wilder), getting his late grandfathers Transylvanian castle, after getting incredibly annoyed with one of his students and stabbing himself in the leg with a scalpel. He meets up with his assistant Eegor, (Marty Feldman) which is pronounced Igor for reasons that you must see, and creates a monster, (Peter Boyle) and makes him star in a musical :p Anyways, this is among my favourite films of all time, so I HIGHLY reccomend it.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (movie)
****
This would have got a better score if I wasn't such a Hitchhiker's fan.

Diasagreed. It's as entertaining, just different. DA was always changing between medias.

it's entertaining, but not as entertaining, cut all all the crap with the dolphins and whizzing about in the car thing, put in more puns and jokes and then it would be good. The books, television series and radio shows are much, much funnier. Decent laugh-per-minute wise.

Car thing?

Car thing?
Whizzing around in the planet workshop.

Oh that. Agreed then, I suppose, but I still think it's as good as at least the radio series.

one movie i absolutely DONT!!!! recomend is:

BIONICLE:MASK OF LIGHT......it just sucks.....

movies i do like though:

Ice Age
The Incredibles

....both cos there funny and i like funny :D

Diasagreed. It's as entertaining, just different. DA was always changing between medias.
yes, i like the movie, too. (the middle part sucks, coz HummaKavula is just UNIMPORTANT, but the rest is really funny :D)

I like Whinie Pooh! j/k


Badboys II

More fast More Furious

Starwars Episode III

The cube

ETC

Ok... I had a lot of fun viewing this movie... It's pathetic, but we laughed at how bad it was...
It's "a sound of thunder" (I think that's the title in english)
(Just wait to see the "monkeysaurs" or the "timenami" XD)

Note: See it to see how bad it is... DON'T EVER THINK that it's a good one!!!

The Magic Christian!

Got a fantastic set of people in it, Peter Sellers, Ringo Star, John Cleese at one point, Christopher Lee at one point, and a whole host of other 'famous actors' which i can't remember the names of.

It's a rather weird film, but bits of it which I found hilarious, other bits left be bewildered. It's as far as I can tell, about Sir Guy Grand (very rich fella) who adopts a tramp for a son and sets off to mess about with lots of money, prove that everyone has their price.

Sellers? Cleese? Sounds great!

[B]Young Frankenstein[/B

Damn straight! It's on ofmy favorites!

DR. FRAKENSTEIN?
It's pronounced FRONKONSTEEN.
You're putting me on?
No, you must be Igor
It's pronounced EYE-gor

:p

My list (not listed in any spefic order, doesn't have every movie):
*Kingdom of Heaven*
Awesome battles, good actors. I watched it at my cousin's place. The ending could've been better though, but it was alright. A really good movie. I'd give it 9/10
*Spider-Man 2* Much better than the first one. 8,5/10
*Lord of the Rings, all extended* -no description needed 10/10
*King Arthur* Not bad, some good actors and big battles. 8,5/10

I've got to watch Peter Jackson's King Kong, Halo and the next HP when they come though.

HALO movie? OMFG!!! first thing I hear about that!

Spiderman 2 is on my "to watch"-llist too...

Yep, and Halo is also directed by Peter Jackson. :)

The Skeleton Key
****

Set largely in the dark atmospheric backwoods just outside of New Orleans, "The Skeleton Key" stars Hudson as Caroline, a live-in nurse hired to care for an elderly woman's (Rowlands) ailing husband (Hurt) in their home...a foreboding and decrepit mansion in the Louisiana delta. Intrigued by the enigmatic couple, their mysterious and secretive ways and their rambling house, Caroline beings to explore the old mansion. Armed with a skeleton key that unlocks every door, she discovers a hidden attic room that holds a deadly and terrifying secret. Peter Sarsgaard portrays Luke, the local attorney working on the couple's estate, and Joy Bryant plays Jill, Caroline's best friend.

Looney Tunes Back In Action:
*****
Great film with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Brendan Fraser as the main characters. They're all leaving to Vegas to rescue Brendans father and to steal back the monkeyhead diamond from the bad guys. Great film.

This film has a end music from Worms 3D
(you know, Coconuts)
Or it's not FROM Worms 3D,
but the same music anyway...

liked it too...
I give for it five stars

* * * * *
:) :) :)

EDIT: Haven't anyone seen Ocean's eleven?
It's goood and i liked the music :)

Yep, and Halo is also directed by Peter Jackson. :)

The Doom movie seems nice. I like the fact they made some of the scenes as an FPS.

And I have to see Corpse Bride soon...

Corpse Bride is incredibly spiffy, definately see it straight away.

But I'm rather worried about the Halo movie, even if it is directed by Peter Jackson. Master Chief isn't a man of many words, and what can murder a game-film than out-of-character-ness and, quite possibly, an unnecessary elaboration into his background. We could be lucky and get a perfect game-film, or a cess-pit of ****.

Yep, and Halo is also directed by Peter Jackson. :)
I thought he was just the producer?

Corpse Bride isn't as good as 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'

I thought he was just the producer?

Hmm, i don't remember exactly. You may be right. I've got to read it again.

Yeah. I wonder how good movie they could make of HL2/1 then. Gordon doesn't say anything as well, but it wouldn't fit for a movie anyway...

Edit: I wonder how they will actually make a movie of Halo, if the main character is as silent as a ghost.

Back to the Future
******

Incredibly spiffing, funny, great, excellent, everything. Being my no. 1 film, this is a high reccomendation for anyone of all ages and understanding. Marty McFly (the now-unfortunate Michael J. Fox) is a good friend of Doc. Brown (Whoopa-dee doo-da! It's Christopher Lloyd!) who creates a time machine out of a car. But when it comes to test driving, communists come and attack Doc. as he stole the plutonium for the car from them. As Marty escapes in the time machine, he accidentally sends himself back to 1955. Excellent dialogue, great effects, superb casting...
Best. Film. EVER.

I figure I'll post a list containing my entire DVD collection, and I'll review select ones later. My collection contains a mixture of Region 1 & 2 DVDs. Please remember that I live with my girlfriend, and some of these are her responsibility (namely things like Sylvanian Families, Kim Possible, Bridget Jones).

well i dont think the doom movie worked out well, so neither should the halo movie. one movie i love is a clockwork orange! i love that movie. the books even better.

THE RING
*****

I love this movie. I've seen it hundreds of times and I've bought the special edition DVD.
I like the thing about Samara. She's kind of intriguing me, at the same time she's creepin' me out. :p
The great movie based on the japanese series, The Ring is a film I highly recommend you to see. It's not the scariest movie you get to see, but it's great in other ways.

T H E A M I T Y V I L L E H O R R O R (2005)
****

Very good movie, based on the 'true' story, of the cursed Amityville house.
I prefer this movie instead of the 1979 version, because this one is scarier, and a bit more blood and gore. It keeps you on the edge of your seet almost all the way to the end.
So this is the story, if you don't know it:
In 1974, Ronnie DeFeo murdered his entire family with a shotgun at 3.15 am while they were sleeping. Now, one year later the Lutz family moves into the house and strange things starts to happen. George (the father), starts to hear voices and signs in the house telling him to murder his family. These things drives him mad, and then his mind just snaps, and he grabs the shotgun. See the rest yourself ;)

yes! i saw ringu, the japanese version of the ring and i found it more funny than scary. and the amityville horror (2005) scared the crap out of me. that little girl in the movie was kinda creepy! i never go in my closet now because of that!

I figure I'll post a list containing my entire DVD ...............................u most have been realy board to write all of that

Yes.

Your point?

Terminator 2. ******
Just...just brilliant :p

I have the first through fourth of that, (Plus the other star wars films), Both Fawlty Towers series, the HHGTTG and both Shreks films. You have good taste (except for bionicle)

I wonder why nobody rated Chicken Little yet. I give it ****

Star Wars 2 and 3 are good too. Madagascar's not too bad either. :)

SOTD is easily the greatest zombie film of all time.

Best romantic comedy, too, if you go by Simon Pegg's obscure genre picking.

Zom Rom Com. That just rocks.

WALLACE AND GROMMIT: CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT!


all the way i tells ya!
it rocks!
IMO it made the perfect comeback for our old favourites, wallace and grommit!

I will have to agree there. That was a very good film, and so was Chicken Run and A Grand Day Out and A Close Shave. I never like The Wrong Trousers as much though, even with the fantastic railway set.

Who's Walrus and Vommit? Just kidding. But it's a pity I didn't watch it... :(

Mr. And Mrs. Smith
******

One of the greatest action movies I've seen! And with Brad and Angelina in the main-characters, it just has to be great. A must-see.

Post your thoughts about the past and present Harry Potter movies-

I'v seen 1 and 2, fell asleep at both so I'm just not spending 5 bucks to fall asleep again...

Movies I like:

Silent Movie (VERY old but VERY funny)
American pie 1, 2, haven't seen "the wedding" but I'll get my hands on it someday!
Final Destination 1 and 2 (spooky!)
Star Wars 1, 2, havn't seen 3, 4, 5 and 6
erm... there's more but I can't really think of them right now

OH YEAH! Road trip, lol, that was very... LOL

I'll just go now...

I'v seen 1 and 2, fell asleep at both so I'm just not spending 5 bucks to fall asleep again...
Same. Although I think this film has a different director (thank God), so it might be an improvement.

Post your thoughts about the past and present Harry Potter movies-

First two HP movies weren't good but Azkaban was much better in my opinion, and i'm definatly going to watch Goblet of Fire, hopefully someday in december. The movies get better as books get newer.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
******

This is just the BEST of all the Harry Potter movies made yet! OK, Philosophers Stone was bad, Chamber of Secrets was good, Azkaban was really good - but this one is just the best ever. And now I have to suffer all the way to 20th March until it comes on DVD... :)
But I recommend you to watch it, it's worth all the 3 hours.

Bleh, 3 HOURS!?

I guess I might watch it. With it being so long, it's sure to break my bout of insomnia. Just like Alexander the Great, or whatever that film was called.

Oh, Alexander, you were such a sleepy 3 hours...

I can't believe that lord of the rings has only been mentioned once in this thread. Pah! :p

All of them (especially the 3rd) get an off the scale ****** from me. Speaking of LOTR, the new movie from the same director, king kong looks awesome!

Street Fighter Alpha: the Movie

Great game-to-movie translation, basiclly you have to see it.

also the Corpse Bride, good romance movie.

also

Godzilla! (1954 version)
Great monster, Great film.

Corpe Bride? A "romance movie"? Since when?

Garfield: The Movie
*****

Great movie about Garfields owner who gets a puppy called Odie. Garfield hates him, and gets rid of him. Then he regrets and comes after Odie to save him from the evil commercial-guy. The animation of Garfield is great, the dialog is witty, but I think the storyline is missing something ...
But great movie anyways! :)

Anyone watching The Simpsons here? Season 7 will be out ca. in February - in shape of Marge's head, and a original box. Can't wait to get it!
There's also been some rumors about a Simpsons movie coming later these next years, but I don't know if they're true. Hope so. :)

A Simpsons Movie? Not a good idea. In my experience, movies made from successful are generally utter crap. In any case, the Simpsons storylines seem just about right for 25 minutes. Much more of that sort of storyline and it gets boring.

A very good movie was Starwars episode 6 return of the jedi.

Someones seen King Kong already? GREAT movie! :D The animations are so brilliant...

@Rayman: Stop writing all of your posts in italic, please.

Also Stop making Simpson movies.First They are old epiosdes bundled up in a dvd cd.Note*I can make my own i have a Ati Woundercard.with it i can see tv on my pc and recorede than burn to tv its like tvo but cheaper.Grrr....If there's one thing i hate is harry potter moves and lord of the rings.No offinse but there boring.It Burns

Write everything in ONE post rayman, and spell correctly. Its not a chat.

They haven't made any Simpsons movies, just DVDs of the different series.

Anybody knows "Wallace and Gromit" ? :)

@Rayman: Stop writing all of your posts in italic, please.
I thought King Kong was great. It remains faithful to the original, including all the not-so-subtle moral subtext through-out. The animation was brilliant, but the only faults I find are perhaps the movie could of been a lot shorter if they'd just cut out all those damn slow-mo shots at the beginning. It just seemed like they were filling a damn quota.

Also, though still great, the New York scenes weren't as good as the rest. Though it may just be Peter Jackson is a little out of his, uh, field outside of New Zealand. :rolleyes:

no offinses but i hate king kong i mean all he is is a hairy and large primate

King Kong is great.

What suprises me is that almost nobody watched it in America when it came. I'm going to buy a dvd version of it when it's released, or i'll go watch the movie. Usually i end up doing both, and i'm sure it will be a good one.

but the only faults I find are perhaps the movie could of been a lot shorter if they'd just cut out all those damn slow-mo shots at the beginning. It just seemed like they were filling a damn quota.

Actually, they cut some scenes out of the movie and it was originally even longer :p (in old trailers, you can see scenes that are not in the final movie)
I guess there will be, as it was with LotR, an extended DVD-edition...

The storylines have never been that good or even important to the Simpsons. It's the satire that makes the show. So if you can watch trough four or five Simpson episodes in a row without getting bored you'll probably have no problem with this movie.

Although its quite old now:
Zoolander. Its a good comedy.

Hardly old compared to some films here. But yeah, it rocks :p

I've seen a lot of films and my favourite top 3 are:

1) Braveheart
2) Dawn of the Dead (the original 1978 version)
3) The Shawshank Redemption

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
******

This is precisely why I always want to go on murderous rampages in cinemas...

Of course you don't. :rolleyes:

Anyone watching The Simpsons here? Season 7 will be out ca. in February - in shape of Marge's head, and a original box. Can't wait to get it!
There's also been some rumors about a Simpsons movie coming later these next years, but I don't know if they're true. Hope so. :)
I can deal with a Marge head but my brother, a total Marge hater. won't buy any box set if Marge is the main character on.

also,
Cobi:I never buy any Marge stuff.

I do isnt wallace the smart dog and gromit the inventer.I love claymation.
You Idiot!
Cobi: you're right!

also Lord of the Rings kicks ass

The Island
*****

Pretty entertaining sci-fi action with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. Explosions, fist fights, car chases etc.
Must see.

Fantastic Four
****

The Fantastic Four - based on the comics by Marvel. Because it's all the same, isn't it? People are in space, they are exposed to a radioactive explosion and they get superpowers. Pretty average film, the end is a bit short, so I'll give this 4 stars - for the Fantastic Four (4). :p ;)

Bowfinger is abosolutely hilarious.

Corpse Bride is absolutely spiffing.

Garfield is absolutely corny.

HOW COULD I FORGET :eek:

The best animation ever. On this planet.

SPIRITED AWAY...

Just wondering:
Is anyone of you going to buy the new HP-movie on DVD? It's coming in stores 20. March in England, and the 7th in the US.

The Doom DVD's coming out next week.

The trailer looked nice, but if anyone out there who has seen it can post their opinions on the whole film, do it please.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
*****

Very entertaining film. I thought it'd maybe a bit childish, but it's funny. Johnny Depp does a great job playing Willy Wonka. Watch it, and if you buy the DVD, you get a 2 disc special edition with the Oompa Loompa-dance! Shake that thing. :p

Oh, and now that I'm on it, The Simpsons season 7 is now in stores! Yay! It came out 31. january. Gotta hurry up and buy it :)

Saw II

Oh yeah! Let's play a game! :D

Hostel! that is one messed up movie!!!

Munich

The latest of Spielberg, based on a novel based on the aftermath of the 1972 (I could be wrong there) terrorist attacks in, well, Munich. While the plot is decent and characters equally so, it feels too unstructered, and, totalling at 168 minutes, it tends to drag on towards the end. Definately worth seeing, though, just drink some coffee before-hand.

7/10

Saw II

Oh yeah! Let's play a game! :D

I think thats the first one was much better, but the second one contained more violent killings and stuff, and thats of course what the sick people of todays world want.:)

You want sick? Try Cannibal Holocaust, Last House on the Left, Cannibal Ferox, I Spit on Your Grave, Funny Games, Visitor Q, Irreversible, Maniac, Ichi the Killer, Hostel, Zombi 2, Men Behind the Sun, or the original Dawn of the Dead.

I have never heard of that movie... so it cant be that messed up

I have never heard of that movie... so it cant be that messed up

First off, that is a list of many movies, not one.

Secondly, if you haven't heard of or watched any of them, I can say with 100% certaintly that you don't know crap when it comes to evaluating messed up movies. You might think you do but you don't. Maybe you never heard of them because they are banned in your country?

You are probably aware of socially acceptable "messed up" films like Saw, Final Destination, or Urban Legend, but they don't hold a candle to these films I've listed.

Has anyone seen any of these?

.... Oh and add "Irreversible" and the "Guineapig" series to the list too.

never said i did know much about messed up movies. I have only really seen a couple. But I live in the US at the moment so perhaps they are banned here. Who knows. I will look up those movies you listed though and take a look into them.

Dawn of the dead the original??? oh man that was a total joke!

never said i did know much about messed up movies. I have only really seen a couple. But I live in the US at the moment so perhaps they are banned here. Who knows. I will look up those movies you listed though and take a look into them.

Actually, they are freely available in the US, if you were in the UK, there may have been some issues locating them (although many are available in censored form).

You did say that you know much about messed up movies when you criticised my list, and I quote:

"I have never heard of that movie... so it cant be that messed up."

This statement implies that you are highly knowledgeable and a definitive resource of messed up film information, and therefore if you haven't heard of them, they aren't likely to be messed up.


Oh, and Cisken1, care to elaborate on your criticism? Dawn of the Dead is an excellent film, the only shortcoming may have been the zombie makeup. The story is excellently told, and has great social commentary, if you picked it up. It is highly renouned in film circles (both horror and among the most popular critics) as a classic and amazing film.

It's probably not Hollywood enough for you.

I know where this is going, and if it comes down to obscure psuedo-porno titles by directors no-one cares about, I ain't getting the berets and cof- oh, mocha-chocha-fruitey-tootey-locha-grande-chuba-cocas.

As for messed-up films... Glitter...

Your argument is without merit.

First, the films aren't psuedo porno at all. Have you seen any of them? They are horror films.

Secondly, What sampling did you employ when evaluating who these "no ones" that decide which directors are worth caring about. Uh, George Romero, Fulci, and Miike are classic directors of quality Horror. Newcomer, Eli Roth (who I forsee establishing his place in horror) referred to Miike and Tarantino as mentors for his Hostel. Romero and Stephen King are friends, and Romero is considered one of the forefathers of modern horror. He paved the cinematic road with his "Night of the Living Dead".

Because you never heard of them means nothing. Because they aren't mainstream, and hang out with the Hollywood execs, means that you probably haven't heard of them.

What about Robert Wise, Michael Curtiz, David Lean, Milos Forman? Do people care about these directors? Of course! Do you know what they directed? Probably not... without looking it up.

I'm not even going to tell you the films they did, figure it out. Point is, just because some directors aren't being promoted in the media now, and that ignorant youth is unaware, doesn't mean no one cares about them.


By all means, bring a valid argument to the discussion, but there is no way that the films I listed are not messed up.

Well there mr jb.jones i watched some of the movies that were on your list. Now I will evaluate them considering that I have such a high knowledge on those kinds of movies. To be honest they really werent that bad. The original dawn of the dead I liked but I wouldnt say that it was messed up. But it was a really good movie. Most of those movies you had displayed there were pretty good. But I would not say they were messed up. SO IN YOUR FACE!!!

Uh, just 2 days ago you said you haven't heard of them any of the movies, now you've seen them all of a sudden? I think you are lying, BTW.

Which films in my list have you seen? Just curious which films you think in my list aren't that bad, and why? Cannibal Holocaust? Guinea Pig?

Oh, and what films would you say are messed up?

Yeah, you are probably right about the original Dawn of the Dead.

Now I will evaluate them considering that I have such a high knowledge on those kinds of movies.
If you're not a professional fimcritic as a living, I highly doubt that you have such a 'high knowledge on those kind of movies.'

Alas, you missed the point entirely. My comments were purely derived from you saying "It's probably not Hollywood enough for you", not of your debate of obscure horror flicks.

I get rather annoyed at people, not necessarily yourself, who consider themselves experts of films just because they have seen some obscure french porno flick and also come out with such one-liners as "It's probably not Hollywood enough for you" while sipping coffee with fancy names.

I didn't get the point because you didn't make a good one that supported any argument. My Hollywood point is relevant because when looking at messed up films, you can't limit yourself to what Hollywood produces; they are bound by certain rating and PC guidelines. Looking at just Hollywood films will limit yourself in this genre. I am a fan of many Hollywood films, Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, Shawshand Redemption, to name a few. I consider myself an expert of film not because I've seen some french porno flick, but because I see many films of all genres, from romantic comedy to mondo bizarro to action and so forth.

YOU were the one who made reference to films that directors "no one" cares about, THAT is elitist, you are doing the same thing you are criticizing.

Did you find out what films those directors made from that last list? Hint... They are "Hollywood" films, so I am not referring just to obscure films, look them up.

The films I mention aren't porno at all, so it is pointless to enter into the debate, unless you are trying to employ the straw man fallicy in logic.

Sorry to bump this thread but that trailer Scott R linked to a while ago is pretty freaking hilarious. (http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/stayalive/trailer/)
And yes, that's an actual movie.

Stay Alive is pathetic.. I wish the movie industry would just GTFO of gaming. ;)

Tomb Raider: 5/10
Tomb Raider2: 3/10
Resident Evil: 7/10
Resident Evil 2: 2/10

I know Uwe Bolls films suck, the trailers do too.

I don't see how anybody can like the second Resident Evil movie.
It's horrible. They totally ruined Nemesis and everything else. Jill isn't some steriotype tough hollywood chick. The dialgogs in the movie are totally stupid too... no no this whole movie sucks.

It should be locked up in hollywoods quarintene chamber of shame.

Resident evil 2 the film was awful, the best zombie movie is Dawn of the Dead.
as per games,
The Best Videogame based on a movie is......



.... "The Warriors"

Easily the best rendition of a film into a game. What would your choices be.

I wouldn't say that's fair, since while it is based on a movie, it's not a movie-tie in, which is the norm.

And I'd say Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay gets the mark for my favourite movie-based game.

I disagree with your fairness claim. The very nature that the game is not a movie tie in (i.e. trying to one product to prop up the other compliment product just to make money) means that more care goes into making the game, rather than trying to ride the coat tails of a recent blockbuster film for its success (marketing a bad product). Essentially, Warriors didn't rely on hype to sell the product, and therefore had to make sure the game was quality.

Whether a game is a tie in or not, it still has to capure the inspiration and faithfulness of the film, while keeping the game innovative and not just a run through of the movie.

I hear that Riddick is really good though. Games based on movies can be good; Warriors is the best though (have you played it).

While I infact have not played it, it still had it's hype. First and foremost, it was a good license. Second, it was made by Rockstar North.

No hype, eh? ;)

But it could very well be good.

EDIT: It's also worth mentioning that Lego Star Wars is great, if short. Very great.

King Kong is also quite good I hear.

But there's no competition with Knights of the Old Republic.

Stargate
5.5/6 stars

I don't actually own this movie, but I hope to buy it someday. If you read reviews online many people didn't like it, but personally I would put it right up there with Star WArs Episode IV in terms of entertainment value. No exageration. It is excellent. A few contradictions with the TV series, Col Jack O'Niel is, you might as well say, a completely different character. But it is still an excellent film on it's own two feet.

Note: I watched it after having seen Stargate SG-1 TV series, so I might have a different perspective from some of you.

I havent seen any of them myself.

Why are you limiting the response to these 3 movies? I don't think any of these three are really good.

I guess I will vote on which one sucks the least.

...King Kong it is.

You need more variety... like "Alien", and such ;)

I dont really like narnia, I hate harry potter and I have never seen Kong. So im kinda stuck :confused:

Oh my good god -

I hate Harry Potter

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Box office revenue is more an indication of a better marketing campaign, not film quality. It is quite myopic to gauge the quality of a movie by how much money it made.

Harry Potter isn't a bad film, but it definitely isn't worthy of this poll moreso than lots of other films that I could name (which even made less money). I'm too old for Harry Potter to appeal to me.

I'm too old for Harry Potter to appeal to me.
Yeah, especially since book 6 contains loads of gore, a mention of a 9-year old almost killing his parents, references to incest and a whole lot other stuff. Kiddy stuff eh?

Uh, yes... Incest doesn't appeal to me.

yeah I must say I am not a huge fan of incest either, but if you guys are into that stuff thats fine...what ever floats your boat I guess....

I did like the HP books, but the movies weren't so great. Just didn't like the actors so much, but the third and fourth movies were ok.

Anyways, I just watched SW:Sith's revenge dvd, and I must say that's it's great. The sound effects were great, the plot was very interesting with all dark side stuff and betrayals ect, but it could have been just a little longer. I'd give it 9 out of 10.

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory- I saw that on my cousin's place. Good movie, a bit boring start though. 7.5 of 10.

Dude Where's My Car- Great comedy. Loved that one. 9 of 10.

References to incest
Between who? I didn't get that in the book.

Between who? I didn't get that in the book.
Nah I was just kidding. There's a mention of Voldemort's ancestors marrying their cousins or something like that, can't be arsed to check.

Since I didn't get an answer last time, I'll try again:
Isn't there any way that I can delete the previous poll and add a new one?

Flightplan
*****

A thriller starring Jodie Foster, that I enjoyed.
I thought it was going to have a little more action in it, but it was good enough.
The story is about a mom, Kyle, who is very anxious and careful after her husband died, and she is going to take her daughter back to NY after being in her husband's funeral. But when Kyle falls asleep on the plane, when she wakes up, her daughter is gone. They keep searching the plane for a while before Kyle begins to get more and more paranoid. Everyone on the plane never saw her daughter, and they think she's insane.
In the movie you never know who to suspect, but in the end the movie takes a big twist.

I thought Flightplan was bull. Maybe it's just because I saw the vastly superior Red Eye, but it just didn't seem good at all to me.

My point: Watch Red Eye, the best Plane-based thriller of 2005.

The downside of the movie version of HP4 is that it cuts out too much stuff to really do the book justice.

Admittedly it'd have to be about three and a half hours long if it did...

Actually, three and a half hour is just a half hour longer than the movie actually is. But yes, it would be great if they managed to push in 30 minutes with extra stuff, like Ludo Bagman (funny guy) and other things. The movie is great, but just let me confess that Ralph Fiennes really disappointed me as the character Voldemort. I don't really think he understood what and how Voldemort is. RF made him look like he was some kind of a disturbed psycho. :confused:

Really? Make that five hours then.

Anyway, I watched Kelly's Heroes tonight. Excellent movie.

Twister
*****

Exciting action movie about tornadoes with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. It's surprisingly good to be 1996 film. It was actually the first film ever released on DVD. Dutch director Jan de Bont did a good job with the film, though the storyline is a little thin. But what the heck, the movie drowns in cool effects and destruction, so it was entertainment enough for me. :p

3/5

This movie is not new, but it's a pretty good one. It's about a game designer called Flynn, who hacks in the ENCOM database to prove that the space paranoids game idea was stolen from him by a former co-worker, who is now a senior executive there. But then he gets abducted into the computer and meets up with Tron, a program that was written to destroy MCP, an evil power-mighty program. And together they go on a journey to vanquish the MCP once and for all. I liked the special effects and all, but the ending seemed a bit rushed. Other than that, it's still worth a watch ;)

Not one of the best I've seen, but it was good as long as it lasted.

Anyone else see "Hostel" I thought that was an excellent movie.

for the most gayest experience... Mullholland Drive... its gay due to its lack of sense.

I really liked Mulholland Drive! It is more a work of moving art than a movie.

M:I:III
****

It was good, but didn't reach my expectations. I have to admit it was exciting and tense in a few moments, and all the explosions and shooting and all. And Tom Cruise does a good job as a secret agent, but there's just the little thing missing that would make it a better movie.

Also hoping to see 'The da Vinci Code' soon - I'm currently reading the book, and it's excellent.

The Da Vinci Code is meant to be utter crap :p

Which is a pity as it's a good book.

Oh, well, at least it has Tom Hanks in it. And he did an excellent job in that other "film of the book", Apollo 13.

Although the film of that is still not as good as the book. This is not to insult the film, which is excellent. But the book is awesome.

It sucks! I'm a Christian and it makes utter bull like, "Oh Jesus married a woman!" I hope Dan Brown dies getting pummeled by Christians!

It sucks! I'm a Christian and it makes utter bull like, "Oh Jesus married a woman!" I hope Dan Brown dies getting pummeled by Christians!
...surely that's just as bad as people attacking Christians because they're Christians?

As I said in the other thread, its fiction, he never claimed it was true.

And trying to stop people writing fiction about certain subjects would be utterly wrong.

It sucks! I'm a Christian and it makes utter bull like, "Oh Jesus married a woman!"

...

No it's too easy, and would probably start a flame war.

I hope Dan Brown dies getting pummeled by Christians!

Very "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", that.

i don't get it... i haven't read the da vinci code yet but as soon as it became a litttle popular all of a sudden every talk show, every news, every whatever goes like: "oh noes! they're saying jesus was married".. what's the big deal about it? im christian too, but the gospel wouldn't change for me if he was married. it's not like everyone will go to hell because the bible would have said nothing about it if he was married... by the way, if read some review about the book and the film and both the reviews say that the jesus-was-married-thing is just a very small fragment of the book and film, the reviews also said that it has more to say about the catholic church (or however you spell it) then about christianity...
but, before i make my final decision about the book and film i'll watch and read 'em

Saw II

Oh, yes. There was blood.

Absolutely revolting. Disgusting. Gut wretching. But you know what? Somehow I liked it. Maybe because of the great plot. And all the gore and guts. The whole idea of this movie is just so brilliant. Jigsaw, you're such a brilliant, smart man, but yet such a sick, sick freak. Looking forward to Saw III!

(If you're gonna see this, make sure you see the first movie.)

And btw, Wormthingy - the the big thing about The da Vinci Code isn't that Jesus was just married - the Christians are angry because Dan Brown states that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, who is his mom.

nope, maria magdalene was said to be a hoe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Magdalene
the other maria was his mom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%2C_the_mother_of_Jesus
not that that would really make things cool down for the complaining christians...



btw. woot for saw! and saw II! :p disgusting indeed, and the ending just blowed my mind. very suprising! can't wait for saw III either :)
and the plot is already on imdb

ADVANCE WARNING! if you are going to see any of the saw movies, do not read this until you've seen them! if you read this before you see the movie it will only become disturbing and less fun. and do not read until you've seen both of the saw movies.

Honest to god, I do wonder how anyone could find the ending of SAW II good. Or any of it, in fact.

Theme of the film: Tries too hard to do what SAW did excellently. Bigger budget does not mean a better film.

Not to mention, it wasn't even meant to be SAW II. Someone pitched an idea, and they converted it. I blame that.

the Christians are angry because Dan Brown states that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, who is his mom.Er, no, no she isn't. Why do you think they keep tacking "Magdalene" on the end? To distinguish her from his mum.

ok, ok, there's more jellying and crying then actual blood shedding... and the script was originally called "the desparate"
but the budget wasn't that much bigger. 1 million to 1.4 million.
and they did it in 25 days (dunno why) so what do you expect?

1 million to 1.4 million.Perhaps they should have called it SAW √2, then.

(We apologise for the quality of the last pun. A full product recall will be issued, as soon as we finish dealing with the salmonella-infected Cadburys' bars...)

Er, no, no she isn't. Why do you think they keep tacking "Magdalene" on the end? To distinguish her from his mum.

Woop, my mistake.

And no, Saw II wasn't 1.4 mill, it was 4 mill. And now, Saw III has a budget of 10 mill. Leigh Whannel (the producer) stated: "I would say the most tame parts of Saw III are (equal to) the most extreme parts of Saw II," Oh my god. That doesn't sound good.

4 mill.
SAW 2²?

And now, Saw III has a budget of 10 mill.Dammit, couldn't they have made it 9 million? They've ruined the pattern, now.

Although I guess it still works for tetrahedral numbers (1, 4, 10, 20, 35... think of a pile of spheres arranged in a tetrahedron)

you sure know your maths!:p

Woop, my mistake.

And no, Saw II wasn't 1.4 mill, it was 4 mill. And now, Saw III has a budget of 10 mill.

1.4 mil, 4 mil. same difference :)

"I would say the most tame parts of Saw III are (equal to) the most extreme parts of Saw II," Oh my god. That doesn't sound good.

oh, darn... there goes my sleep...

you sure know your maths!:p
I should hope so, I did go to Cambridge to study a degree in it.

Even if I did come out with Astrophysics :p.

He's good at maths and he's an Astrophysicist; and thats why his sigworm ishould be a chemist?
Oh wait, you're 15. I should have expected it.

What's wrong with sigworms being chemists??.. I don't get it..:-/

To be fair, so are you.

So am I for that matter.

And Im 14 and mor intelijent than yoo al!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know. I'm just saying that most of the 15 year olds I know think like that.

I know. I'm just saying that most of the 15 year olds I know think like that.
REALLY?!?!?!..wow.

Yes, my sigworm is a chemist, despite the fact I'm an astrophysicist. I would note that Plasma (probably) does not wear a cape or have a mechanical shape-shifting hand in real life. Just be grateful I kept mine within the bounds of normality.

when your good at maths or when your an astrophysicist it makes more sense to me if your sigworm is a chemist then somekind of brainless killing machine.:-/

BIO DOME:

it sucked, big time... two people dumber then primates get stuck in the bio dome sphere, they screw it up, get fans and in the end they realize they did something stupid so they make it up with their girlfreinds and become famous...
bad acted
poor story line
non suprising ending

overall rating: baad movie, baaaaaad

I'm sure you don't.
And of course it's offtopic, therefore put it in the Online Orgy forum. In fact, as good as all the threads in the Online Orgy are offtopic.

Or would you say Muzer's 'How Many Bathrooms in Your House'-thread is more relevant about Team 17?

2-1 to me - and a cookie, no, a banana (healthier).

I'm sure you don't.
And of course it's offtopic, therefore put it in the Online Orgy forum. In fact, as good as all the threads in the Online Orgy are offtopic."Websites, Clans, Newbies and Nerds" is what it says in the OO description.

Hide and Seek (2005)
*****

Yay, let's play a game!
Dakota Fanning is great as playing Emily, and Robert DeNiro is good too. Also starring Famke Janssen from X-Men. Really creepy, and worth watching at night.

Silent Hill (2006)
pretty creepy film.. in the beginning all is good (except from a daughter who walks in her sleep screaming "silent hill" and stuff). then the mother decides she and her daughter should go to silent hill(wich was burned down 30 years ago) so that she can remember. on their way there they get chased by a cop. whil in pursuit the mother suddenly sees a little girl on the road. she turns the wheel, car crashes. when she wakes up the door of the car is open where her daughter sat. she is gone. it is snowing. the mother steps out of the car and find out they aren't snowflakes but ashes. she then sees a little girl (looking just like her daughter) running through the fog. she chases her daughter in to silent hill...

and thats all im gonna tell you.
the film was creepy and very well done for a game-movie.
it really has the feel of the game in it.
i'd rate it a 8.5/10

What's with all the evil little girl zombie things in horror fiction?

Because it's so weird, little girls, the most innocent people there are, killing people and being gory and stuff.

It reminds me of Blake saying 'marriage-hearse', in his poem about London. Two things you normally would not associate with each other.

because a child has a pure soul, innocense a child is ... childish:confused:

they are like oh look at me cuddle me, and the next thing you know they turn their head a little give a big grin :) and get a creepy yet child voice saying look at me.. im burning, WOOSH! :eek: child gone

(damn.. silent hill spoiler)

Already been reviewed :p

Superman Returns
*****

Didn't really expect much from this before I saw it, not much of a Superman fan I am, but I had to eat my own words. This is pretty impressive, great effects and all. Director of X-Men, yay! Dumb thing he didn't direct X3, and decided to do Superman instead.
Also love Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, he was just great.

Not a DVD review but a movie review nonetheless, in my own review style:

Pirates of the Caribbean 2
**

Pirates, Johnny Depp.
Orlando Bloom, no resolution, recycled dialogue.

I disagree entirely with both Nugget and Vader.
Superman was rather bad, effects were a step back(younger Superman looked as cg as it could...), and the plot was downright boring. I mean, Superman barely did anything fun, they should have had him fight Doomsday or somethin :p

And Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was awesome. Davey Jones! Need I say more?

It acts as nothing more than a bridge between 1 and 3.

It's rubbish. Utter tripe. I'd have given it 0 but it has pirates and Johnny Depp.

Well I don't see how the 3rd movie could make any sense withouth the second one. I mean you would start off with Jack being allegedly dead :p

As for the movie itself, it has great visual effects(particularly Davey Jones), it has good comedy in it(excluding the fact that Johnny Depp is hilarious by himself), and the plot is quite interesting. It also introduces a lot of intersting background for the first movie.
And the Kraken kicks ass.
Honestly, Vader, I have no freakin clue why you rate it so low, so can you please expand on it? :p

Pirates of the Caribbean 2?

The story was a tad confusing, it was a bit too long and the first act didn't even need to be there but apart from that, I thought it was awesome. :)

And the Kraken kicks ass.

The Kraken, which just so happens to put all 8 tentacles infront of all 8 cannons?

I admit it had its funny moments, but I also found myself scowling at ORlando Bloom's attempts to act like Johnny Depp.

The character development between 1 and 2 is ludicrous. The commadore bloke goes from saying something like "We have a pirate to catch" to being a drunkard on an island full or pirates and then becoming a pirate. The whimsically feminine Elizabeth wossername turns into a swashbuckler. The overarcing love interest plot between Jack and Elizabeth feels bloted on and hackneyed. They overused the CGI; I would have preferred to have seen Davy Jones et al wearing latex masks and actually looking real.

As for having to do a bridge between the two, surely there were other options. Empire Strikes Back was by no means a bridge between two films. AT a push it could be argued that episodes IV and VI are there to give V some context (although that's simply not true as IV and VI are both watchable standalone films and PotC2 is not).

I was enjoying it, I guess, until there was no finale, no conclusion, no closure on any aspect of the story. It just felt awkward as if I was window shopping - I came out with nothing.

Stormbreaker
******

This is a great action movie, and I managed to buy it the same day it came out on DVD, + the magnificent soundtrack.

How come no one mentioned Saw 3 here?

oh wells, saw 3
more violence, more guts 'n gore, more of everything. much better (or should I say worse) then saw and saw 2 were
a bit disturibing is the fact that there's a saw 4 coming for halloween this year while jigsaw clearly died in part 3 (circle saw sliced his neck open, hartmonitor went to zero, tape stating he did kill jigsaw if he was hearing this tape).. what if this person we think is jigsaw is merely a pawn in a much greater plan...

maybe a copycat killer.

Is it me, or are the only films shown in our student cinema either hopelessly gory or frightfully inane?

So? Is that wrong?

Hoodwinked!
******

I just fell completely in love with this movie.
A parody of the story of Little Red Riding Hood, which tells the story in a completely new hilarious way. The film has the greatest characters, soundtrack and plot to become a great movie. (No, this is not actually a childrens movie - yes, it's animated but with a little more "grown-up" jokes.) Though the animation is not the best, it's a great movie and worth watching.

This is Spinal Tap 20/10
THE best documentary...or should I say rockumentary, ever made. Utterly hilarious improv in this film, if you haven't seen it, shame on you.

So? Is that wrong?
Variety is always good.

Hot Fuzz anybody?
It's not as good as Shaun of the Dead, but I do love a bit of Pegg and Frost,
they make a good comedy duo (It is quite violent though I must say).

To be honest, I thought it was better. Don't get me wrong, I really like Shaun of the Dead, and it's humour, but there's only so far you can go with it.

And nothing beats someone using a fence to dropkick an old lady. In fact, that whole part of the movie was just hilarious, from the mobility-cart-using dual pistol user to the machine-gun granny.

I really want to see it, but a load of people don't have any money to go D:

Ice Age 2 wasn't a patch on the original IMO.

National Treasure
***

Not the best action/adventure I've ever seen, but it's worth a watch. I love the score though.

The Departed
******

I love it! That's all I have to say. Film doesn't get any better than this.
Too bad mr. Scorsese is giving up on the studio productions, and goes over to the small, independent flicks.
But what an encore!

The Departed

I love it! That's all I have to say. Film doesn't get any better than this.


Except for the ending SUCKING. Yeah, it's pretty good.
The way they "SPOILER" kill everyone off at the end seems like they didn't give a crap how it ended. Even if they intentionally wanted to do that, it could of been done in a better way than what happened.


SPIDERMAN 3


I loved the action. BUT they took a story that would take 3-4 hours to tell, and crammed it down into 2 hours and 20 min. So thus it got REALLY choppy and a bit confusing. Also, the acting just sucked. And there were to many corny moments. I had really good expectations for this movie, but it left me hanging. :(

Yeah, I was surprised by all the sudden deaths throughout ...
Before you know it someone is lying on the ground with blood everywhere before you even realise what happened to them. :p
Kind of a cynic way to kill off all the main characters that you attached to for over two and a half hour so sudden.

BTW, has anyone seen Hot Fuzz? Opinions? Considering watching it.

I MUST SEE HOT FUZZ D:

Reservoir Dogs
***************************************

F'ing awesome. That's all that can be said. In fact, it inspired me to write my own screenplay.

resident evil
and resident evil apacolips
totaly sweet sh!t those 2 own

Your're kidding right? Resident Evil 2 is among the top 10 crappiest films ever made...

Hot Fuzz = Excellent.

Spider-Man 3 is an entertaining if fundimentally flawed movie. I'll write a bigger, better revie for my blog eventually.

Hot Fuzz = Excellent.
very, very awesome film.

All of their stuff is good. I'm still hoping for a third season of Spaced..

And regarding Saw.. I really liked the first film, much suspence and plot. The other two where just gore.

All of their stuff is good. I'm still hoping for a third season of Spaced..

And regarding Saw.. I really liked the first film, much suspence and plot. The other two where just gore.Everyone in the world wants Spaced 3.

I can't speak for the third film, but the second Saw really is rather good. there's a brilliantly simple twist at the end.

It wasn't a scratch on the original Saw's revelation. Still haven't seen the third, and apparently it ties up loose endings, but the second just tried to outdo the first: More money, more gore, more people, more stereotypical.

I mean, did they intend the people in the house to be so stereotypical? Maybe it's just because they didn't have enough time to develop each character like they did in the original. And perhaps it may just be because it was rewritten to be a sequel.


Probably already said it in the thread, but Hot Fuzz = win. Another good film, which will most likely get relegated to pre-summer filler, is Fracture. Brilliantly simple formula, you see the murder, yet the challenge is in proving it.

Bloody excellent film, right until the last 5 minutes where they ruin almost two hours of brilliance with ridiculous explanatory sections (with sepia tones!) at the end. If someone didn't get the point (despite being stabbed with it), then it's only going to keep the film in the persons mind (albeit, that's just my opinion).

When they ruin a good, thought-provoking film with ridiculous explanatory sections is a real pet peeve mine, I must admit. Usual Suspects revealling: Brilliant. Overexplained plot: Terrible. Copying the Usual Suspects revelation scene: Even worse (I'm looking at you, the Illusionist!).

... Fracture. Brilliantly simple formula, you see the murder, yet the challenge is in proving it.Does it star Peter Falk, by any chance? :p

I thought the same thing going into it. :P

But Next, on the other hand, does! Well, has him in. For, like, one scene.

I saw Unbreakable the other day. T'is was quite good.

The Simpsons Movie
*****

Loved it. Simply loved it. It completely exceeded my expectations. And now that I have waited 200 days for it to come to theaters, just 113 days left until the DVD. :)
