Let's have a films thread.

Well I went to see Avatar.

Beautiful to watch (although it didn't seem to be as mind blowing as some have stated). Story was laugable, it seemed to be targeted at 8 year olds but then why make it so bloody long?

And the whole 'down with globalization/corporations' contradicted itself by the fact its the most corporate film ever!

I understand the people who have stated its pocahontas in disguise, it pretty much is.

6/10.

So you watched the review show the other night then?

[CosbehFox]

La Haine.

Pure brilliance. The scenes with the DJ and break dancers are great.

Which review show?

If my review reflects the same as another, maybe just maybe 2 people can have the same opinion.

Shock, horror!

Watched The Firm,not as good as the original,but didn't think it was too bad

[purpleronnie]

I've got lots of very cheap dvd's to watch (picked up in bargain bins).

First one was Observe and report.....oh dear!

Barely raised a smile throughout.

3/10.

Watched Cabin Fever last night.

Grose, a bit daft but enjoyable enough.

[Bellend Sebastian]

Brilliant. A Charming Journey/Roadtrip from Sam Mendes, it also has a great soundtrack Highly recommend.

I saw that on Friday. I quite enjoyed it too, particularly the bit where they go and see his 'cousin' who has rather strange ideas about raising children.

Last night I saw Joe Meek biopic Telstar. I know about Joe Meek, but his story is such an interesting one that it doesn't really matter if you know what's going to happen, and it's a great film. If you don't know about him, it's probably even better. Even the fact that James Corden is in it shouldn't put you off

saw daybreakers today - loved it , loved the idea of vampires taken over the world and just a few humans left . the film does nick stuff from matrix but thats ok for me

Desperate to repay his debt to his ex-wife, an ex-con plots a heist at his new employer's country home, unaware that a second criminal has also targeted the property, and rigged it with a series of deadly traps.

A poor mans Saw, it was ok and watchable at best.

Fell sleep half way through.

[Alexikokopops]

Not yet in cinemas, but I'm looking forward to it, even though most remakes/modern adaptations usually tend to be crap:

They're doing a sequel to Tron???? WHAAAAAAAAAA'???

Anyone who liked the Lord of the Rings films might enjoy this.

Born of Hope - LotR fan film

It's not half bad - extremely good considering their resources, the directors life savings of £25,000.

Can't complain for free really.

[rico]

Great film,non stop action from beginning to end

[MC Prussian]

For the fans of Pan's Labyrinth, check out one of Guillermo Del Toro's earlier films (ca. 2001):

Aka "The Devil's Backbone". Classy Mexican-Spanish horror/coming-of-age story set in WWII Spain.

Not seen this one,but Cronos is also a good film,think it may have been his first film

watched Mimic last week,still pretty good and quite original (giant cockroaches that can look like humans)!

[Samilktray]

Going to see that Percy Jackson and the lightning thiefs, thing tonight, not sure what to expect.
