Films The Official bit-tech Movie Thread - What have you seen lately?

Seconded. Absolutely great film this, definitely worth a watch.

 

Tangled - 4/10

Even for a kids film, this was boring.

 

Stephen Kings IT - 2/10

A friend of mine is petrified by clowns and this film scared the living crap out of me as a child so it seems a wise choice. I actually apologised at the end

 

Too few people have seen this, it's really darned good.

Bought Despicable Me on DVD the other day; I still laughed like I did in the cinema. 8.5/10

 

and yet it cost $260 000 000 to make

 

It was visually a pretty attractive movie, but that still doesn't account for that giant budget. There wasn't even much star power in the voiceovers, where did the cash go? Does that budget take advertising into account?

 

Book of Eli
6/10
Was good until the "Big reveal" (don't wanna spoil it) f***d pretty much everything up. It's almost like they decided on that on the last day of shooting.
Michael Gambon as the Cannibal-Gramps was awesome though... I LOL'ed at that bit.

 

Faster isn't out in Germany yet.
Repo Men appearently has been released mid-2010 in Germany, but I don't think it ran in the cinema's.

Anyway, both go onto the to-see-list. Thanks!

 

The Green Hornet - 5/10

Hollywood switch off movie.

 

I have that to watch this weekend ..

 

Love the Book of Eli.
Just watched Black Swan
Was actually very impressed, I mean, obviously the scene was awesome
But the film as a whole was incredible! Really felt for Natalie's character as she developed through the film.
Highly recommend.
9/10

 

Just finished The King's Speech and wow, Colin Firth was unbelievably good. Watched The Mechanic last night and it was a lot better than I expected, especially after some of the negative comments I'd read.

 

Sky captain & the world of tomorrow

3/10

Twoddle. Been wanting to watch it for ages as it seemed kinda fun & interesting in a futuristic-retro kind of way, but even a good cast & great visuals couldnt save a baffling & nonsensical plot in the end.

 

watched True Grit recently and I thought it was really good and very well filmed. But I thought the ending was pretty rubbish so it gets a 8/10 from me. If they had a proper good ending it would have been a 10/10 for sure, it is a real must see.

 

Feast 3: the happy Finish
3/10
Not even the b-gradeness of this could save it from me only being able to watch it drunk.

American Pie - the book of love
1/10
I'd much rather choke on pubes...It makes "band camp" look like Schindler's List. Hell. It makes Feast 3 seem oscar-worthy.

drawn Together: The movie
5/10
Not near as funny as the series. Excessive usage of bad language, showing catoon b00bies, and necrophilia don' really add anything.
Better than the other two (feast 3 and american pie) though... but that's a bit liek saying "Ebola is cooler than [insert other lethal disease here]"

 

Toy Story I + II + III
Not what I remembered from my childhood but still a pretty good movie to watch.

 

the adjustment bureau

9/10

Emily Blunt is gorgeous and fit her role perfectly. matt damon is....matt damon. i havnt seen much of anthony mackies work, but i was very impressed with him here. docked a star for less than 100% originality in terms of the plot though .

 

Repo Men was good. Not fantastic. Not a waste of time/money though.

7/10

 

MMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMOONNNNNN.

Uh, yeah, it was OK. I'd give it a 7/10. A lot of plot holes.

 

Repo Men.

6/10

Not the worst film in the world however it was fairly slow to get going. Good cast but could have been a little more interesting. Nice twist at the end of the film.
