Movie review thread...
-
Lincoln Lawyer; Matthew McConaghy (sp) Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillipe and a few other faces I recognised.<br />
<br />
Crime/drama/thriller - bit of a slow start, but ends up quite a good film -
[quote name='Mojoman']Hangover II - Funny but not as good as the first one. Seemed like they tried too hard to deliver punchlines etc. 6.5/10[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yeah some generally hilarious moments but they were a bit few and far between. That beared gimp gave me the shits. very annoying. <br />
<br />
Also surely every mans worst nightmare to find out they've been on the hammer and then fucked in the assss by a ladyboy. -
Tracker. Ray Winstone (with dodgy Boer accent) and Temearu Morrison. A reasonable yarn about an embittered Boer War veteran arriving in NZ and getting involved in tracking a Maori accused of killing a Bristish Soldier. Enjoyable for some of the scenery and the punch ups between the two leads. Neat ending too, although you can sort of guess it.

Obviously I am far too easy to please. Although it didn't have the surprise factor I enjoyed it and the film was a great way to unwind on a Friday night. The gimp was more annoying this time but the Chinese guy was a total crack up -
Hall Pass - a few good laughs, but kinda diverted from being what it appeared it was trying to be, to a bro-mantic comedy
-
Took my boy to see Pirates 4 yesterday . Thought it was excellent in parts but not overly flash for the rest . Think i may have nodded off at one point . Wouldn't say it was any better than 2,3 or 4 , certainly none have been even close to the first one .

After all this time finally saw Avatar last night. Wasn't too bad albeit a bit predictable for a Pochahontas/ Dances with Wolves with a twist of Star Wars (final battle sounded like the attack on Yavin), Aliens (Mining corporation with co-op from military) and a sprinkle of Braveheart (the face paint at the end) meets Halo movie

Yeah the Chinese guy was actually pretty farkin funny despite his disturbing nude scene. -
Have caught a few recent films recently.<br />
<br />
'Drive Angry', Nic Cage thing..okish..bit silly..never really grabbed me. Not his worse work though. 6.5/10<br />
<br />
'The Green Hornet', not bad but a confusing movie that never reaches anything special. Nor can it make up its mind what its supposed to be, action or comedy.<br />
Probably one of the worse comic book films ive seen. 6/10<br />
<br />
"Dinner for Smucks'..had my doubts a while ago about this, but couldnt find much else that the mrs might enjoy watching, wish i hadnt bothered. 5.5/10 -

a 6/10 is nothing to be sneezed at, you must love your adaptations Virg ! <br />
<br />
I saw the ad for it and asked my mate next to me what the Green Lantern actually did in terms of super powers. We both stared blankly..... -
Have gone through a Terry Gilliam phase over the past fortnight.<br />
<br />
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - I only saw this movie once before, as a nine-year old, so didn't know what to expect. I thought it was a fun tale which sometimes got a little sidetracked, but a good watch none the less. You also see Uma Thurman's nipple <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> 6/10<br />
<br />
Brazil - Basically a rip-off of George Orwell's 1984 but with humour. The mother was a bit creepy and I didn't get the reason behind the Samurai but the ending was great. Enjoyed Robert DeNiro's character leading a rebellion via air con repair. 7/10.<br />
<br />
Leaving Mr Gilliam for a moment, I watched EuroTrip on Four tonight. I don't care what anyone says, I find that film funny and could watch it multiple times. 9/10. -
Saw Hangover two - brilliant, when showing the photos over the opening credits. Pretty dire everywhere else.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit diluted to Chow due to him being the Chang on Community (watch it if you haven't yet) so didn't find him funny.<br />
<br />
Despite everyone in the theater laughing on cue for the Zach Galinafikas (sp) character, I think his shtick is well and truly done.<br />
<br />
On reflection I'd give it a 5.5/10 - the point 5 due to the bride being hot and the old bride being really hot - even if pregnant. -

I love that you two are obliviously talking about two different films.
