Zodiac  9/10

I was skeptical about seeing a serial killer movie when the killer is never found, but the movie doesn't let it end without a conclusion. It's Very considerate to the real people involved too.  It's long, but doesn't get boring or ever make you feel you've wasted time.

Well, then again, you said it

The Dukes of Hazard: The Beginning (2007)

Score: God-awful fucking shit/ZERO

Saw it on ABC Family as (bad)luck would have it. There is absolutely no reason to see this hunk of horse shit. At least the original from 2004 had the benefit of some good humor and sexy girls. This one has girls, but NONE of them are sexy. It isn't even really a prequel to the movie. It's more like a prequel to the actual shows, which just makes it fail even more.

300/10
No real review needed.

[imdb]Hot Fuzz[/imdb]

Great fun! For the first hour the film plays out as a murder-mystery pastiche before changing pace drastically in one sinister plot twist into a "bad boys" style buddy-cop action movie. Like "Shaun of The Dead", "Hot Fuzz" imitates without being a 'parody' or 'spoof' of their respective genre, more just a film of the genre with a tongue in cheek attitude. I can't really think of many reasons why you shouldn't go and see it if you can! Fantastic, charming and funny.

5/5

Quote from: ArseOnToast;726673I want to go see it, but my dad said I should just wait till it comes out on dvd because it's low res. Is it 18's? and does the IFI even care?

it's "unrated" which is technically just over 18s. heber didn't get in on his own, but when i went a bunch of his friends who are clearly under 18 were there. your dad is wrong, just because something is grainy doesn't mean it's not fucking huge in a cinema, see it in the cinema, it really really adds to the experience. like, really. lynch is constantly talking about how it's not the same outside of a cinema so he makes his movies accordingly.
it'll scare the living piss out of you

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny - 7/10

I give this movie a 7 as a Tenacious D fan. If I weren't, I'm sure it would have gotten a 4 or 5 or something because a lot of the funny parts were more like inside jokes. But overall, there were some hilarious parts, and some parts that kind of fell flat. The ending was a little anticlimactic. I liked the cameos, and the music was classic D. They should have left the deleted scenes in.

Lord of War - 9/10

Nicolas Cage's best movie, not even arguable. Way underrated, and so full of truth.

The trailer was pretty cool, but the film itself had no substance. I'd give it a 4/10

Good Morning Vietnam

Some great parts, but they shine as sugar crystals in a caramelised dog turd.

Robin Williams is great, but I didn't buy that he was following his dick around after this dumb Vietnamese chick the whole time. Mainly because Robin Williams and his character are both really quite gay. Seems like a little-thought-out plot device.

Forest Whitaker was in there too. He was good. As were all the army officer characters.

My main dislike in the film was the way the Vietnamese people were portrayed. It was as though the only way the writer/director could think of, to gain our (American viewers) sympathy with them, was if they, somehow, unrealistically adopted American tendencies, vocabulary, and customs. They all love Robin William's jokes, even though I'm sure if it were a real situation they (A) would not be able to understand the words he was speaking and (B) would not find his sense of humour amusing anyway.

This reaches it's sickly saccharine climax by the end of the film, when for some reason a whole village of Vietnamese people hang out of their balconies and even join in, in a game of baseball with Robin Williams.

The Departed - 10/10

I tried to talk myself into lowering the score, because I was paranoid that I was just going to like it because it was a new Scorsese mafia movie. But when I tried to find things to bring the points down, I couldn't. The story moved along at a better pace than his older movies, and the twists were great. The music selection was decent (although what was with that Comfortably Numb cover?) and the dialogue was well written. The acting was the highlight, though. Everyone was fucking awesome, and even Mark Wahlberg put on a pretty damn fine show. The Boston accents were all nice, with the surprising exception of Jack Nicholson, who sounded a little forced at times. Overall, it's up there with his best. I'll have to give it more time to settle before I say it's better than Casino or Goodfellas, though.

Borat - 8/10

I liked it, but there were a few parts that I think could have been left out. Some of the deleted scened would have filled in nicely, though. Overall, it was funny. Some parts more funny than others, but that's to be expected with a "live" filming. Now I just have to make sure I don't go around talking like him and making myself look like an ass.

Casino Royale - 9/10

I haven't watched a full Bond movie since Goldeneye. I don't want to say they were bad, since I haven't watched them all the way through, but they just seemed too flashy and boring for me to get into. But I had heard a lot of great things about Casino Royale, which was surprising given the disdain which a lot of people expressed when Daniel Craig was announced as the new 007. So I decided to give Bond a chance, and I'm really glad I did. It seems they picked up on the gritty realistic (well, for a movie) action of films like the Bourne series, which is good. And I liked that they went back to origins, showing how Bond picked up some of his traits and whatnot. Craig makes a great Bond, and I thought they balanced plot and action quite nicely. I think I just might start getting back on the Bond bandwagon after this.

Frank Miller's 300

300/10

That's right. I'm giving this movie an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. This film was a fantastic  visual masterpiece. From the scenery to the blood so gracefully splattered all over it, this film was a sight to behold. I'm sorry if I draw on about this but 300 was fantastic.
300: a name that evokes size and power. The perfect name for a movie that does exactly that, for a movie that shocks its audience into a dark pit of its own silence. You can be the biggest Frank Miller fan there is a see clips from the film ahead of time, but nothing can quite prepare you for 300.
300! This film contained fantastic acting and was scripted so excelently I almost cried. Some people have criticized this movie for bastardising history. To them, I say, it does, and the film-makers don't try to conceal that. They just take the nostalgic/mythology like feel of Frank Miller's graphic novels and translate it into a tour-de-force chariot ride of twists, turns, and decapitations.
300! I remember watching this film begin and after the first 5-minutes hearing some old bitch in the back of the theatre laughing at what she obviously perceived as a purely absurd film. Another 5-minutes into the film: silence. There was not a single voice in the house as we watched shocked at master-ful filmaking. The only times a peep was made was when we cringed and gasped, shocked at the shear dynamic violence nobody could have prepared us for, or when we cheared on King Leonidas when he stuck it to Xerxes or Queen Gorga when she held the fort down back home in Sparta. This film that had seemed ridiculous at first had reduced the audience to sheer astonishment.
300! This film is definetly not for everyone. Anyone with any taste of any kind will deplore of the violence and gratuitous sexual content of the film, something only the trully tasteless film lover can enjoy. History Nazi's will shout at the film's innacuracies before the film speedily shuts them up.
300! I am telling you people! 300 is a movie that must be seen! There is no reason one should not see it in theatres at least once! Something that made in any other way would have simply been a pilgrimage for Frank Miller fans has become the Sin City of Sword-and-sandal Epics! Frank Miller fans will touch themselves watching 300! Gore hounds will touch themselves watching 300! Action movie buffs will touch themselves watching 300! History teachers and Nazis as well as well known historians themselves will vomit while us Frank Miller fans, gore hounds, and action movie buffs laugh at them... watching 300! This is the action film ride people have been waiting for all year! See 300!

You're so lame, dude.

300 - It was OK, I guess. The action scenes were well-directed, but it was littered with popcorn bullshit and horrendously masturbatory cinematic sequences that didn't serve to do anything but make the movie boring in-between the fights, which, let's face it, were the only point of this movie.

Dead Silence - This was outstandingly I'm a edgy teen. It oftentimes bordered on self-parody.

Ghost Rider - Pretty dumb. Nick Cage has something of a school boy charm that adds to his characterization scenes, but the action sequences were rarely anything other than mediocre, and the finger-pointing motif was really stupid. The villians were pretty subpar, too. All of them. The cowboy dude was cool.

The Number 23 - This was outstandingly I'm a edgy teen. It oftentimes bordered on self-parody.

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl - 0/10

Worst movie ever? Yes.

And to think the guy who directed that garbage made both Sin City, From Dusk Til' Dawn and The Mariachi Trilogy.
