Random movies I have downloaded and watched over the past few weeks, not many hits, mostly misses.


Boarding Gate - Please die Michael Madsen.

Craig - FFS, why did they waste their time.

Shutter - The worst hour of my life (yes it took me a whole hour before I turned it off)

How To Rob A Bank - Jackpot, good movie.

The Onion Movie - Surprisingly good.


Fuck IMDB ratings for movie selection, what are YOUR recent hits and misses.

Over the past 3 weeks or so...

South Korean:

The Chaser - fucking awesome
GP 506 (aka Guardpost) - Not R-Point, but watchable
Our Town - good storyline (but a bit confusing as the subs didn't cover text that the characters were reading), decent serial killer hokum.
Garoojigi: A Tale Of Legendary Libido - better-than-average funny with some pretty tits off a ballet dancing vixen.
Antartic Journal - disappointing, particularly as it stars one of the best actors in the world - every movie in his filmography bar this one is a classic!

Others:

The Ruins - watchable;
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - forgettable, but if you like chick flicks (as I do ) and think both the chicks in this are cute (as I do) then it's worth the near 2hrs. Well, it's worth about 100 minutes, they've could've cut a few of the other mins out.
305 - A for effort, F for the movie.
The Darjeeling Limited - really enjoyed it, but I was stoned, not sure everyone would find it to their taste.
Drillbit Taylor - my own fault, but I was suckered into watching this by The Darjeeling Limited and the geek-chic of Superbad

Olskool Chop-Fooey:

Judgment of an Assassin - awesome
Five Superfighters - awesome

The Happening - not as bad some of reviews made it out to be imo. still, not great. if you've seen the trailers then you've already seen all the best bits.

In Bruges - Good. i thought Ralph Fiennes was a bit of a let down though. he's kinda of trying to do the same as what Ben Kingsley did in Sexy Beast, but not quite pulling it off.

Kung Fu Panda - Great fun for all the family.

Pathology terrible film so bad I can't even remember how it ended.

In Bruges was great Brendan Gleeson was top class as always and I thought it
was one of Ralph Fiennes better movies.

21 was terrible maybe because I expected more after reading the book its based on.

Charlie Bartlett was alright if you have nothing better to do.

The Spiderwick Chronicles wasn't bad for a kids film watched it with my two nephews and they thought it was the business.

Be Kind Rewind has some funny bits but wasn't great overall.

Mamas Boy I liked this. Jon Heder personality kinda remind me of a someone I know which made it funnier.

Grandma's Boy bit of an old film I stumbled on never heard of it till my brother tip me off. Funny stuff and a good stoner movie

Bill also worth a look bit of a fan of Aaron Eckhart after Thank You for Smoking( another great film).

War inc piss take on the Iraq situation. John Cusack does his usual quality and Aykroyd thrown in for good measure. Make's this worth a look.

Pathology: Why was this movie made? Great gore, but terrible movie.

Drillbit Taylor: Quite enjoyed this one.

The Happening: I cannot tell you how much I disliked this movie. Well, like Pathology the gore was nice, but the movie just plain sucked!

Shutter: Started watching this and fell asleep. Was boring, or maybe the R5 sound was so bad that I lost interest...

The Ruins: Another movie with great gore, and actually pretty good.

Superhero Movie: Do yourself a favor and pass on this garbage.

Be Kind Rewind: Strange movie, didn't really keep my interest, but had some funny moments.

In Bruges - I really enjoyed this too, a bit arty at times but some of the dialogue had me pissing. My favourite line is;
"Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favour of culture, like a big fat fucking retarded fucking black girl on a see-saw opposite...a dwarf."

Mad Detective - Great film, I wonder how long it will be before Hollywood go and butcher it with a remake.

Vantage Point - Pretty shit, you could see the plot twist coming a mile off and Forest Whitaker, a overweight tourist, being able to keep up with the president's men on foot was a bit far fetched.

21 - Not that good, I'd recommend watching 'Rounders' instead.

AvP Requiem - Garbage

the wackness - limited release, about a kid growing up in the 90s in NYC, thought I could relate and would be entertained, was stuck with a decent soundtrack, a main character that comes off like a total tool, and method man talking in the worst rasta accent ever attempted on film. 3/10

dont mess with zohan - worst adam sandler film ever made (yes, I remember little nicky, it was a tough choice). -64/10

I actually liked Zohan, the first 10 minutes were hilarious. It went downhill from there but still had some funny moments in it.

Wackiness, I gave it a try, turned if off after about 15 minutes.

Love Guru: This should have been called Austin Powers 4 and was even worse than Austin Powers 3.

Harold and Kumar: Liked it, surprisingly.

Miss:

The Happening. Only downloaded it cause I was bored. Wasnt expecting anything at all from it. Seriously, M. Night Shyamalan makes horrible movies. The only memorable movies from him are Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.

Lady In The Water was crap
The Village was crap
Signs was crap

I don't know why people go see his movies anymore.


Vantage Point.

UGH. Movie gave me a headache watching the same scene over again. Didnt even finish the movie.


Hit:

Street Kings

The Mutant Chronicles. I thought I was looking for punishment getting this. It's actually a good movie and from what I read it was low budget but you wouldn't think. Its got some good actors and not a bad story at all.

Wristcutters - not new, released in 06, but I only discovered this little independent movie just now, it's not amazing, and has a cheesy ending but for some reason I really enjoyed it. fun stupid little movie to kill time with, 6/10.

Watched a Spanish horror the other day called "*REC" basically 28 Days Later crossed with Blair Witch or Cloverfield... Sounds terrible but it works brilliantly. Excellent acting and some truly shocking moments.

The real pity is, I think it's already been snapped up for the "Hollywood Treatment" and I'm pretty sure they'll fuck the remake up

Remarkably similar, although the person viewing it was considerably better looking in my case.
