AIDS of comedy

6/10
not saying the film is bad but never been into the genre. the swazernburger part with bruce willis and stallone was funny. i rewatched it like four times.


5/10
Another unsatisfactory conspiracy film. Very predictable, never predicted the end but always knew what the next step of the film was. In five minutes something about this needs to happen so that in the end something about this can happen. I was online half the time cause I was so bored.

Almost Famous

Maybe it's the memories associated with it. Maybe it's the amazing soundtrack.. I dunno.. But this movie works on so many levels... I kinda wish more people would have seen it when it first came out.. I feel like it would get less shit then.. God damn though, I love this film..

9/10



Saw this movie for the first time whilst holding the girl I thought I loved in my arms.. Doesn't matter that it didn't work out between us.. It was still one of those perfect moments that I will cherish always. Moments like that are what make movies (and music) great.

im receiving Milk of Sorrow and Scott Pilgrim on netflix this weekend!!! very excited

Alice In Wonderland (2010)



I was not knowing of the story of Alice prior to viewing this film. So as I rate this I take the story into full consideration.

I really enjoyed it. Alice is a unbelievable bad ass. What is this story trying tell us? We can slay demons in our dreams with the help of strange characters? I think so. I certainly feel inspired.

I wish the film would have given me more sense of direction. Had no idea where it was heading from one frame to the next. The strange characters that were inrtical were never fleshed out.

7/10

nice review bakester

last half of 'full metal jacket'
the last half is a 7 i guess, the half that I missed is an 8 I think. in combination it makes it 7,5. nice characters, joker and 8ball. nice quotes. "pootang (from the half i watched) and "get some", which is in the half I didnt watch. I also missed the end- scene which was un- satisfying. That scene is probably the best scene in the whole part of the second half of the movie, so I perhaps would have rated it more if I had catched it.

also gave me army flashbacks. no no, not in that way. More the way that when all of us army bodies watched the movie in one of our hallways. I don't think that most of the people watching it got the idea of it. They were more yelling out "get some" and pootang" all the way through. that was 10/10

The story in Tim Burton's version of Alice isn't really the story in the book, Jake, it's a 'twn years later' kinda thing; it also contains characters from both of Lewis Carroll's books (Alice and Through the Looking Glass). I thought the special effects were too minging and childish to finish watching it

Anyway, I had a bit of a film marathon yesterday:

Mindhunters (2004): A good enough cast of B-listers but the story is just kind of lame tbh; at the last 5 minutes it's your typical reveal of who the bad one was all along, with montage of how they managed to do their bad deeds... Anyway it was entertaining enough for a suspense flick, I suppose. 6/10

Casablanca (1942): "We'll always have Paris." Why is Rick so totally relateable and beautiful and Isla so fucking hateable yet loveable at the same time? Very quotable film indeed, entertaining, smart and romantic without being cheesy. Classic. 9/10

Machete (2010): Awesome! Jessica Alba is about as likeable as a big red pimple with puss on it on your cheek, but the rest of the cast was great, I thought, even Lyndsay! She was actually kinda awesome in a subdued kinda way. Just enough gore for my taste, I actually didn't mind the blood and heads coming off as much as I cringed whenever Danny Trejo kissed with someone (racist). Anyway good, harmless fun with a nice message for the whole family. 8/10

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004): This film got a lot of shit, didn't it? I actually really like it, honestly, the story is a bit long and all over the place but the performances are what carries it through. Bill Murray's delivery is just spectacular and quietly hilarious. I know this film inside out and this time I just focused on the delivery of the lines, basically. It's still an 8/10 in my heart.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001): Well, I know this film like the back of my hand (actually, I have no clue what the back of my hand looks like, but I can quote this film all the way through and tell you little details about it); I just love it. I watched it with the director's commentary on and I gotta say, Wes Anderson seems like one square, control freak...love it! Anyway 10/10 FFS

I didn't like much Tim Burton's version either. And how good would be J.Casablancas doing Casablanca? Not much, I supose, he'd probably do an 80s futuristic thing out of it.

machete 8/10 see ana's post and minus add that I want to fuck with jessica alba.

The Town



Spadeloads of clunk and cheese with a preposterously shite conclusion but enjoyable while it's there. Except for PC Don 'y'know guys Mad Men is so hot at the moment, you fellas should totes cast him in your film and give him disproportionately large amounts screentime for no reason' Draper that is. Should have left him roughly 80% in the bin with only the toenails of his story left on view and given us more full frontal exposition of Ben Affleck and his fully sick boiz. Rebecca Hall is all kinds of lovely.

i'm going to see motherfucking JAWS next week in cinema
10/10 for everything

Wait, is it 1975 again? Or don't tell me it's in 3D...

oh fuck no, never gonna see a 3d movie again.
this cinema is getting closed at the end of the year and they're doing a run of classic movies there before that.
might have to see back to the future too

Beauty & The Beast [1991]

Was forced to watch this, not seen it since I was about 10 years old but I actually quite enjoyed it. Gaston is the man.

Also to note, those Blueray/DVD releases of Disney films are fucking sensational. Not cheap at 17 quid but theres enough special features on there to keep you going forever. Might pick up the jungle book if they've brought it out in this special edition format.

nice, don't they do a lot of the disney classics on limited, protected releases though? i.e. they'll release something like jungle book on dvd/blu-ray for a period of 2 weeks every few years and then it goes back in the vault, thereby preventing those films ever going to the bargain bin
