The MOVIE discussion thread

So i had the chance to see a film called 'The Road' last week and i was pretty disappointed.

I haven't read the book so i didn't know what to expect and can't comment on how well this movie pays homage to the novel. I suspect the novel is far more entertaining than the film.

It stars Vigo Mortinsen, and without giving away any spoliers i thought the movie was going to be a whole lot more action packed than it was. I guess i let those damn misleading trailers get the better of me!

5/10 from me.

I haven't seen The Road yet, the trailer looked a bit mediocre though.

I watched a movie yesterday called The Vampires Assistant.

Crappiest movie I've seen sofar in 2010.
Crappy acting, crappy special effects, not funny (its tries to be) and a crappy plot line/ending with so many plot holes!!

2/10

p.s I'm not a hard movie critic by the way hehe. I like most movies I see, but this one was a waste of time.

[STOIE]

Sounds like a good year! :)

I loved this cartoon as a kid, I hope this movie does not disappoint!

Last night i gave a movie called 'The Blind Side' a try. This movie came highly recommended from a friend of mine.

This movie is about the rags to riches story of a NFL offensive tackle named Michael Oher. Without giving too much away, he gets taken in by a family because he is struggling on the streets by himself and due to his athletic ability and with the help of the family, is able to rise to stardom. It's a well produced and written movie that is pretty awe inspiring. Sandra Bullock is a standout in this film.

It looses some points only because it exaggerates some of the facts/characters the story is based on.

8.5/10 from me.

always been huge fan of NFL movies... any given sunday, remember titans etc... ill check it out for sure...

I saw Law Abiding Citizen the other night and must say I liked good. Had a pretty good story and was well thought through...acting on par and worth a watch...

... 8/10 for me...

^ 1st was was fun.

EDIT: Just watched the trailers. I'm a little worried about The Wrestler being in the film, he looked damn silly with that outfit out on the race track too. I did get a little excited when I saw this though:

OK, bring it on!

[∆pex]

[Frenchie]

Hurt Lockers

Sorry I hated this movie !!

Respect to all those bomb techs but as a movie, forget it - story ok, actors so so, can not believe it won Oscars.

[defaultx]

Yep definitely hyped for Iron Man 2!!!

[Pharkus]

"From Paris with Love" for the RS6 car chase scene. I love the way the driver acts, absolute cool.

[JohnnyG]

Iron Man 2 looking good

[∆pex]

Just had an idea, let's have an Iron Man 2 gtg when it's released...

[nath_mk6]

Sounds like a plan
on a related note my 2y.o loves the cartoon and sings (like a little toddler) to the theme song..

[Jethro41]

Avatar was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
4.5 stars.

Yeah loved the special effects in Avatar, but the story was fairly ordinary....but I still rate it as a great movie for the SE...wierd I know.

I hope your wife's name is Alice. Otherwise, to all the people named Alice out there, RUN!!! (*note you won't need to run that fast, just enough to outpace an old guy with a walking frame)

I totally agree with you here. The story behind it all just didnt do anything for me. But i did love the graphics & sound, especially at the imax :D
