fatter than harry Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thunderbirds are gay! I know, I know, what did I expect. I was suckered into buying the dvd after watching the 'making of' on Star the previous evening. If there has ever been a worse film made (apart from Disney's The Kid) I'd like to know about it. It's like The Goonies with no chunk, data, the breathalizer kid, the big fella who liked the chocolate, the great baddies, one eyed willie or the intelligent storyline [/irony] Take all that out, add 4 ripped gayboys and ghandi and you have Thunderbirds. This film is rubbish from start to finish, with the exception of parker who has a couple of funny lines. I give it one finger for consistency.

Ian_B Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Picked up "Shaun of the Dead" yesterday. Excellent movie - the world's first romantic-zombie-comedy I believe Great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Saw the trailer for Shaun of the Dead- looks like its a crack. Finally saw Alien VS Predator- twas ok, but tell me this how is the bird running around Antartica without any gear on? (she'd freeze quick in my estimation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluto_manibo Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I thought Coffee and cigarettes was really awful..It is all improvisation! The only gem in it...was the segment with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits.... One of the best movies out this year, is definetely Man on Fire with Denzel Washington, Taking lives with Angelina Jolie is good as well, Bad Santa was hillarious.

MadFrankie Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 The next "Bourne" film with Matt Damon is supposed to be as good or better than the first one, should be here in a couple of weeks. thought it was V.good.. Hope this Arthur isnt as <deleted> as u guys are saying, just about to put it on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatter than harry Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 The new Bourne is cracking, better than the first. Maybe it took the first film to get used to Matt Damon as Bourne. Arthur was great, I felt Dudley Moore was badly cast as the leader of the fabled round table Knights but Liza Minelli was back to her best with her portrayal of the all singing, all dancing Guinevere. *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* Higwaymen It's a film about a semi paraplegic man who runs people over, and another man who tries to stop him. I make it sound better than it is. *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* *!Worst film ever alert!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 FTH- dunno didn't like Bourne Supremecy that much - no plot really. I far preferred the first and I was gutted after the first 10 minutes....... King Arthur is rubbish- ROMAN BS. Highway Men - yeah that was pretty bad picture. Alias Season 3 is out- ooo how I druel over Jen Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Still waiting for something to beat One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

french fannies Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Cool Runnings is a very good feeling and funny movie. It was shot mainly in Calgary where I come from and I remember seeing ohn Candy and one of the black dudes during a break from filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotworms Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Documentary: The Fog of War Robert McNamara, former Secretary of Defense under JFK and LBJ candidly reflects upon his dealings with the Bay of Pigs/Cold War, WW2 Destruction of Japan and the Vietnam War. I really enjoyed it. A great point of view and perspective that was shockingly honest. A must see for modern history buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insight Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mystic River - brilliant! Agreed Fight club One of the best films of all time for me. Started clicking on to the twist pretty early on in the flick, but still didn't stop it being just as enjoyable. Has anyone seen "H(E)LL BOY yet..? It's just previewing in the UK and I was wondering whether to go and see it.. Pretty good, well worth a watch... "Lost in Translation" (picked it up a while ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it). Most people have likely seen this but if you haven't, do so immediately, very relative to our expat way of living....and beautifully shot in Japan. Agreed, but thought some of it was a bit "girly". Still, some of Bill Murray at his absolute best, and a great soundtrack to boot. The new Bourne is cracking, better than the first. Maybe it took the first film to get used to Matt Damon as Bourne. Have to agree, although I did watch the first one on HBO. Looking out for a Panthip special of it.... Film that really got my attention recently was K-Pax with Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. Excellent script with some brilliant dialogue between the two. Best feature is that it leaves the final decision up to you. Quality soundtrack also... And also, The Terminal - Well worth getting hold of on DVD when it's released (original I mean)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality soundtrack also... i saw it last yr so very good film --the story is very arousing and i felt glued to keep watching from start to the end without moving my eyes or arse any seconds anywhere! and yeh, i like this kind of ending story independent, yet the answer is not really gone to the wind! and the movie didn't play with the audience too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
