Dog Bite Dog - 3/10
it's a strong 3 tho... yey o/

bob · Post by **bob** » 26 Feb 2009, 10:22

Sunshine - 5/10
was kind of split into two halves, and part of the 2nd half was a bit stupid. nice effects though.

3:10 to Yuma - 7/10
very strong 7, close to 8. seen it a couple times now, rewatched it a couple of days ago. great ending.

We Own the Night - 5/10
was alright. nothing really original.

i see a couple people liked The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. May i ask why? John? Although it was somewhat curious, i think it went a bit too long and the overall message wasn't that original. Though, i did watch it late at night after a couple of beers. No doubt that the make-up was great.

so, who watched the oscars? worthy winners? who missed out? do you think heath deserved it?

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 26 Feb 2009, 12:59

I watched oscars yes, most of the movies nominated I haven't seen (yet) so its hard to say if it's deserved, but even if I had seen them it would probably look very different if it were up to me. (btw I made my own personal oscars in this blog entry)

Ten Inch Hero 9/10
A stark 9, wanted to give it 10 for a long time

Happy-Go-Lucky 7/10

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 26 Feb 2009, 17:47

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - 7/10 - overrated imo. had its moments but overall felt boring and too much like a mix of The Notebook and Forrest Gump.
Yes Man - 9/10 - though Jim Carrey was much predictable, loved it thoroughly and could much relate to it.
Citizen Kane - 7/10 - great directing but overall boring.
Casablanca - 8/10 - almost fell asleep during it, might rewatch. but the acting seemed amazing.
Goodfellas - 9/10 - well, just awesome
Once Upon A Time In The West - 9/10 - well, just awesome
Schindler's List - 10/10 - well, wow
The Pianist - 9/10 - well, just awesome

spent the week filling some gaps in my imdb top250 watched list.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 1 Mar 2009, 00:58

a week well spent!!

I watched Gomorra, italian film about the camorra. Realism, maffia, no romance. 8/10

Costya · Post by **Costya** » 2 Mar 2009, 17:37

wow, it's quite rare to hear 8/10 to Gomorra instead of "omg, what a boring stuff"

Gran Torino
Clint Eastwood for president! 9/10

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 2 Mar 2009, 19:26

did you like it though?

Costya · Post by **Costya** » 3 Mar 2009, 10:02

a lot.

John · Post by **John** » 4 Mar 2009, 11:30

In Bruges - 7/10

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 4 Mar 2009, 16:00

Crash 5/10
Had a nice pace, and dialog ect. However really pointless story.

Sex and Death 101 8/10
At first I disliked the narrative way it was made, but later into it, it really got good

Young People Fucking 5/10
No real story, and the five different "stories" didn't have anything to do with each other at all, but still somewhat interesting

John · Post by **John** » 4 Mar 2009, 19:14

dame, Crash only 5/10? :x

Palme · Post by **Palme** » 5 Mar 2009, 10:58

benny & Joon - 7/10

Good movie, i love johnny as always, but the benny actor was a moron

John · Post by **John** » 5 Mar 2009, 22:47

Bolt - 7/10
Very nice familymovie. Hilarious supporting characters (the hamster Rhino in particular).

John · Post by **John** » 7 Mar 2009, 00:01

The Wrestler - 7/10
Was hyped to see it but didn't really live up to my expectations

watched Yes Man today.

tis tru, i managed to watch it all the way through. I didnt like the movie, it was the usual shit all the way, most of the cast were utter crap, jim carrey was good though, as usual. But Yes Man isn't top5 of his movies, nor even top10. Probably the character's fault, carl was just a very boring one and mr carrey couldn't make it neither enough interesting or funny. the little love story was cute and sach but seen the same 100 times anyway, I didnt expect any romance or watefak it's called because only genre mentioned on imdb was comedy. The whole point of the movie, saying yes to opportunities, live your life etc etc was quite interesting. JUST like xarthok said, could relate to it, as we n0lifors live in a box. Don't think it changed my life anyway

. Jim Carrey made me laugh several times, anyway. And laugh is never a bad thing, is it

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 8 Mar 2009, 08:54

no, laughing is very bad for you. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/laughing.asp

Madagascar 2 - 6/10
A strong 6. It was hilarious the first 30 mins and then only semifunny.

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 9 Mar 2009, 18:28

Sex Drive - 8/10
as long as one doesn't expect too much from it, it was pretty entertaining. seth green was hilarious and the main female role's hot ;o~

John · Post by **John** » 10 Mar 2009, 00:48

Pineapple Express - 4/10
Felt way too long and wasn't that funny.
"You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker!" ... cracked me up tho :p

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 10 Mar 2009, 14:54

How To Deal 8/10
Saved! 7/10

Mandy Moore <33

Hunt for Red October - 9/10
Damn great entertainment with coal music, sounds and sets.

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 11 Mar 2009, 08:44

Can't believe you hadn't seen that one already :0 It's on like once/year, if not more, on Swedish television.

John · Post by **John** » 14 Mar 2009, 02:06

Enemy at the Gates - 7/10
A weak 7. Once again I got the same feeling as I did while watching Hunt for Red October, there's quite nice action, scenes etc. However, I'd say everything is too Hollywoodiated and I would have preferred to see some unknown names in the leading roles in this one.

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 15 Mar 2009, 00:54

watchmen
some 8/10

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 15 Mar 2009, 01:23

5/10
A strong 5, but overall boring.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 9/10
Such mainstream vote :x great film

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 15 Mar 2009, 02:43

great film indeed

John · Post by **John** » 18 Mar 2009, 00:40

MalÃ¨na - 6/10
Promising beginning, a great mix of drama and comical parts but then I found it too much of the same kind of scenes. Well deserved Oscar-nomination for best cinematography tho, was beautiful. Ennio Morricones music blended in too well, didn't think of it.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 21 Mar 2009, 00:22

I watched Twilight today with a few friends, most of them were girls yes

. It was quite good. Not really what I had expected of the movie.. but I guess also the reason I found it good was the people I watched it with

bet if I saw it alone it would have been boring.
I'm not good with those numbers but Ill give it some 7-7.5/10.

And then we come to FarCry... I found out yesterday that there was made an adaption of the video game so I had to get teh.. but wtf.. I have now watched 50 minutes of the movie and it simply get's worse and worse.. lol uber lame shit movie with shit actors and worse soundtrack.
Even though it is uber crap it is still not one of those "So bad it's good movie" unfortunately
2.5/10 at the most

Grace · Post by **Grace** » 21 Mar 2009, 01:35

Xiphias - have you read the Twilight books?

i have, and i want to know if the movie is worth watching in relation to the books, because the books were quite good, but don't wanne see movie if it's shiaz.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 21 Mar 2009, 01:54

No I haven't.. but I can imagine the books being better than the movie (so far only one movie made). more or less always like this ain't it?
It really is a Drama-Romance with some Thrills movie

.. I'd group it as a teenage movie more than a.. what I call.. a Mother movie.
I don't want to reveal anything. Just go watch teh you won't die=)

Mawane · Post by **Mawane** » 21 Mar 2009, 02:29

Title: Modern Times
Names: Charles Chaplin
Characters: A factory worker

10/10
wow, awesome movie. story, black and white, very funny situations, sounds, some true parts that make u realise the hardness of old time in industries

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 22 Mar 2009, 23:12

Yes, that's indeed a good movie. And although 10/10 might seem a bit too much, a mere 9 wouldn't suffice.

John · Post by **John** » 27 Mar 2009, 02:07

Treasure Planet - 7/10
Surprisingly good

kinghias · Post by **kinghias** » 27 Mar 2009, 13:31

two new austrian movies, both pretty nice to watch:
der knochenmann
revanche

and two documenaries about how fucked the economy and social systems are, also made in austria:
we feed the world
let's make money

all of them are good 8/10s

John · Post by **John** » 28 Mar 2009, 00:46

A weak 9 (although still a 9) to Die Welle

That was my 700th IMDb-vote

John · Post by **John** » 30 Mar 2009, 23:52

Iron Man - 7/10

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 31 Mar 2009, 00:58

cidade de deus was even better on review (and having been to brasil too): 9.2/10

Costya · Post by **Costya** » 2 Apr 2009, 17:14

Slumdog millionaire 10/10

first real cool oscar winner for the last 8 years.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 3 Apr 2009, 19:35

The Spirit - 3/10
*yawn*
Really, it was the worst crap I've seen in a while.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 7 Apr 2009, 23:26

Gran Torino 8.5/10

Yet another epic win movie by Mr. Eastwood

Hamlet 2 - 6/10
Yes Man - 6/10
Sex Drive - 6/10
The Darwin Awards - 5/10
Rachel Getting Married - 3/10

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 8 Apr 2009, 14:06

Zombi 2: 7/10

Was a very good classic zombie movie. Extremely slow zombies, much gore, some very notable scenes (zombie vs shark, shard of wood through eye, etc), few naked girls, good bad-acting. Everything i want in a 70s horror movie.

From dusk till dawn: 9/10

I like horror movies. I like comedy. I loved this movie. The beginning of the movie (maybe 45 minutes or more) is very Tarantino-esque. Almost Pulp Fiction-esque. But when Clooney and Tarantino reach the Titty Twister, all hell breaks loose and the movie becomes one hell of a humorous bloodfest. And adding the ridiculously great cast (George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Salma Hayek, Dany Trejo, Tom Savini and Cheech Marin (who played 3 different characters in the movie, which i found hilarious), this movie really made my evening!

John · Post by **John** » 12 Apr 2009, 01:39

Australia - 6/10
Was an enjoyable film although it was quite long (2h 34m), but at the same time it didn't make me look at the clock even once. A bit predictable, a bit crappy CGI and a bit too much plastic in Kidman's face which all lowered my rating slightly (the most memorable character in this movie is Nullah). Worth one watch at least.

officially the highest rating of that movie ever.

most Australians are embaressed of it.

no movie titled Australia should have an aboriginal in it.

John · Post by **John** » 12 Apr 2009, 03:02

Obviously not the highest since it has a weighted average of 7.0 on IMDb.

Why no aboriginals in a movie called Australia? If there's anyone who should be in a movie called Australia it's aboriginals.

bob · Post by **bob** » 12 Apr 2009, 07:52

you are right, John. i had an argument with a friend who believed he was more australian than an aboriginal. it's funny how most people who call themselves australians hate aboriginals and are against immigration.

i haven't seen the movie, and i am not in a hurry to aswell. i believe its the 2nd biggest grosing australian movie after madmax (not fully sure though). I like Hugh Jackman, seems like a really decent intelligent man. For some reason, along with alot of other aussies, i don't really like Nicole Kidman, even though i bet she too would be a very decent person, and even donated alot towards the bushfires. she does look veryfake, and i don't see her as a good actress.

because aboriginals are cliched, a lot of overseas people see australians as bush dwellers who ride in kangaroo's pouches and have a huge accent and say 'crikey' a lot.

the truth is, Australia is very similar to california.

just more trees.
