Mr Tsang (with an 'a') has given me an idea. Would anyone want to participate in a thread where we collectively attempt to review a large amount of movies? There could be a little form, for example...

Title:
Genre:
Tagline:
Basic plot:
Good actors:
Good characters:
Products placements:
Minutes too long:
Deaths:
Attractive females:
Attractive males:
Soundtrack:
Best quote:
Highlight:
Lowlight:

My Score:
(more suggestions naturally welcome)

...and it might be fun. Maybe?

Pity there is no media section

quote this post, and the list of questions will be ready-bolded. huzzah!

Good actors: Samuel Leroy Jackson, mothaf*ckas.
Products Placements: Not really.
Minutes too long: There wasn't enough minutes!
Deaths: Uh, a lot. Mostly people who are attacked by crazy snakes. The man who gets devoured by one deserves an honourable mention.
Attractive males: Nathan Phillips is about it, really.
Attractive females: Julianna Margulies, Rachel Blanchard.
Paedophiles in the audience: No...

Suggestions for others -

Best Quote: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking plane!".
Highlight: For me, the chihauhua getting eaten by a huge snake. For the audience, probably Samuel L. Jackson landing the plane after blowing all the windows out, with Kenan from Kenan and Kel as a rap groupie who learnt to fly planes on the Playstation...
Lowlight: None, for me!

I thought it would be a good idea if we could give the films a certain amount of somethings out of a certain amount of somethings. For example, Claire could have given her film "five snakes out of five".


Title: Children of Men
Genre: Neigh-Apocolyptic bleak futuristic london.
Good actors: Every single one of them.
Products Placements: Probably, but in my eyes that makes the film more realistic. If a character is going to get a drink, why cant he have a sprite? It'd be a differant story if he exclaimed "ahhhh, theres nothing more refreshing than the non-goblin sprite" and proceeded to wink or smile at the camera, but so long as that doesnt happen I'll not notice.
Minutes too long: It felt like it was way over two hours long, but it was only one and 50 mins.... I mean this to sound like a good thing. So much happend in the film and yet it didnt feel rushed at all.
Deaths: A few thousand. Maybe more.
Attractive males: None noticeably.
Attractive females: As above.
Pedophiles in the audience: A few gays who'd got the wrong idea from the title.
Best Quote: Your baby is the miracle the whole world has been waiting for. (thanks imdb)
Highlight: Being set in London.
Lowlight: I didnt get why there was a floating pig at one point. But thats hardly cause for knocking off points
Score: ten newborn babies out of ten
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Title: League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse.
Genre: Surreal comedy.
Good actors: Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, Mark Gatiss.
Products Placements: Asda, Guess Who?
Minutes too long: Probably about right.
Deaths: Steve Pemberton (head blown off), Reece Shearsmith (fell off a building), Mark Gatiss (accidentally shot), Hilary Briss (stabbed).
Attractive males: Reece Shearsmith, Simon Pegg.
Attractive females: Emily Woof was OK.
Pedophiles in the audience: There for Herr Lipp's puns.
Best Quote: Hilary Briss: [reading Geoff's revisions of the League's screenplay, "The King's Evil"] "Geoff Tipps, a clever man with a big c*ck, comes in and stops the king from being killed. He is a Hero. His c*ck is big".
Highlight: Geoff shooting Mark Gatiss ("The safety's on"), Herr Lipp's innuendo ([to boy scouts trying to light a fire] "I think I've got wood!").
Lowlight: The whole 17th century slant was pointless for me.
Score: 6 grotesque faces out of ten.

Title: A Matter of Life and Death
Genre: War/Romance/Supernatural french weirdness
Good actors: David Niven is a dream.  All stiff upper lips and moustaches.  Marvellous.  And Richard Attenborough's star quality shines through even if he's only on screen for about 5 seconds.  I've never seen a more enthusiastic dead bloke.
Products Placements: That one at the start for Lancaster bombers.
Minutes too long: 0.  Just right.
Deaths: Everyone in heaven is dead.  
Attractive males: The Niven - natch.
Attractive females: The girl who plays June is doeful.
Pedophiles in the audience: I just watched it on my own.  I'm not a paedophile.
Best Quote: All the Marvel/Raleigh stuff Peter spouts at the beginning.  Actually this one is rather ace - "Ah, there's June. She walks in beauty, like the night... Only she's cycling and it's daytime." It's fuill of genius lines that exemplify Brit humour.  Go here to see more.  Wonderful stuff.
Highlight: All of it.  So joyous and warm.  There is one bit that stands out during the trial though ragrding a cut away to a particular group in the audience when the prosecutor goes on about love.  It's rather odd.  To describe it would only spoil it.
Lowlight: Nothing.
Score: Why, it's only the dandiest, tip top film these eyes have gazed upon.  10 pencil moustaches out of 10.

Attractive females: The really really fat one.
Pedophiles in the audience: My friend. Since he gets turned on by bloody and guts.
Best Quote: Do you f*ck all your cousins, or just the ones you find attractive?
Highlight: This is what the film was lacking. It had the gore, the chases and, to a certain extent, the tension. But it didnt have the depth...
Lowlight: Spoiler: [highlight]Having leatherface in the car at the end. It was SOOOOOOOOOO obvious.[/highlight]
Score: Three chainsaws and a severed limb /10

Title: The History Boys
Genre: A film based on a play.Comedy drama?Coming of age?Who cares?
Good actors: A f*cking brilliant cast.They thankfully kept the original cast of the play and as the actors have been playing these parts for about 3 years now, they are comfortable in their roles and it works.

Products Placements: Teacher training. Oxford and Cambrige Universities. History.
Minutes too long: Not really.
Deaths: Yes.
Attractive males: Dominic Cooper- one of the most oddly sexy scenes I've seen involves him asking if a male teacher of his would suck him off. Wierd but the confidence makes it hot.
Attractive females: I reckon the female history teacher is quite hot for an old lady.
Pedophiles in the audience: Yes! This is perfect for them.
Best Quote: "History is just one f*cking thing after another."
Highlight: The scene where they pretend to be in a french war time brothel and speak french for the entire bit without subtitles. Hilarious perfection.The ending being even better than the play.
Lowlight: The scene where the two teachers share a class and discuss the holocaust.Its good, but that scene doesnt quite do enough to highlight the rift and vast gap in teaching styles.
Score: 4 motorcycle handjobs out of 5.

I eventually went and saw it; and I actually wasn't that impressed. Some parts were funny and some parts were weak... just crude for the sake of it. It's not like stuff like that bothers me - it can be funny in the right scenario - it just seemed to be a little OTT for no real reason :/ Plus the storyline was very weak, and the Pamela scene was a blatant setup. Oh well.

Attractive females: Those party girls. Hot.
Pedophiles in the audience?: A few for the hot girls, but they'd be dissapointed since nothing was *seen*.
Best Quote:
Highlight: The music. The ending. Meatloaf being in it. What happens when JB eats mushrooms.
Lowlight: Mr Loaf could have had a better song. I only wish it wasn't aimed at high school kids. Too much 'smoking weed makes you cool' crap. If they were real rockers they'd be on much better drugs than weed. Pussies.
Score: 6 satanic tooth chips out of 10

Still, it funny in a few parts, and it was my mates turn to pay
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I can't wait to see that.


I eventually went and saw it; and I actually wasn't that impressed. Some parts were funny and some parts were weak... just crude for the sake of it. It's not like stuff like that bothers me - it can be funny in the right scenario - it just seemed to be a little OTT for no real reason :/ Plus the storyline was very weak, and the Pamela scene was a blatant setup. Oh well.



Which is pretty much how I viewed it. Some moments of it were amusing, particularly the racist college frat boys and the wonderfully friendly New Yorkers.

I'm a little tired of the 'but the joke is actually on the americans' thing...the joke is on anyone who thinks this cringeworthy stuff is some high water mark of comedy. SBC is a (rather rich) one trick pony and he knows it.

Products Placements: Wristw*tches. Admittedly, it was a hell of a cool wristw*tch. And cookies.

Score: 9/10; I'd see it again.

Genre: James Bond. That is a genre
Good actors: They are all decent, but Judi Dench is the best by far.

Deaths: Many
Attractive males: Daniel Craig
Attractive females: Judi Dench. Phhhwwwwooooooooooorr!!

Best QuoteS:

Agree completely with that review of Bond, it dragged way too much in the middle, the beginning kicked arses though. Major anti-climax at the end though and i kinda lost the plot after the torture scene.
Never take life seriously.

Title: Crank
Genre: Mindless action movie
Good actors: Good in there genre, Jason Statham is a great action hero. Amy Smart seemingly has a decent range in her too.
Products Placements: Red Bull + other energy drinks, Google Earth
Minutes too long: None, very well paced throughout
Deaths: A few, and some most are quite gruesome
Attractive males: Jason Statham is hot. But not in a gay way. I wouldn't do him. But I wouldn't mind looking like him.
Attractive females: Amy Smart
Pedophiles in the audience?: Nope
Best Quote: You got a steel hard on don't you? - Let me check.... Check.
Highlight: Headbanging to Achy-Breaky Heart
Lowlight: None really.

Score: 9/10.

Spot on movie, perfect for just having a laugh. There is a small semblance of plot, and a twist which is not completely obvious - just to keep you interested if the excellent violence and great script isn't enough. Statham gives a great performance, perfectly blending action, comedy, and charisma It's tightly edited, fast paced, and uses some nice effect a cartoon-ish charm to the film. Obviously not very high budget with the use of Google Earth in places, but that adds the the mood of the time. This is a Jason Statham vehicle, he is the star and you know it. He doesn't disappoint. Watch it, it's great.

Title: Elf (2003)
Genre: Comedy
Good actors: Will Ferrell
Minutes too long: None, just about right I reckon.
Deaths: None. It's a comedy about Christmas.
Attractive males: None, as it happens.
Attractive females: Amy Sedaris.. but she's older than you'd think.
Pedophiles in the audience?: What a bizarre category.
Best Quote: "SANTA. SANTA IS COMING! OH MY GOD!"
Highlight: There were a few amusing moments, but nothing that truly stood out.
Lowlight: Very cheesy and cliched.

Score: 6/10.

If you take it with a pinch of salt, it's pretty good. We watched it on DVD last night and, although the ending is a bit crappy, there's some good moments scattered throughout.
