But sometimes a crappy romcom is the only thing that does the trick :p I will maintain this. 'The Holiday' isn't as bad as Notting Hill :p

About 10 mins into Children of Men was when I suspected it would be one of the best cinematic experiences of the year. And yes, I hadn't enjoyed myself that much since King Kong. Which isnt the best movie, but looked great on the big screen
Children of Men, however, does stand on it's own feet outside of impressive action sequences and I would deffinitely reccomend getting the DVD.
Unfortunately you'll just have to pretend the last 2 seconds of the movie didn't happen.
Martons been replying for so long, I expect a full dissertation on the merits of children of men when you post.

Title: Last King of Scotland
Genre: ...
Basic Plot: A Scot goes to Africa and becomes the presidents pal. But then realises he will have to kill the president.
Good actors: The black man (president) is going to win best actor ever award, so I hear. And he deserves it.
Products Placements: None that I saw
Minutes too long: None
Deaths: Quite a few, but mostly part of the back story.
Hotties: The man is nice, not really many others. The girl he has sex with has a nice butt
Pervs in the audience: A few sex scenes
Best Quote: The president insults the gingers. It is quite humerous.
Highlight: I cant think of an exact point :-X.
Lowlight: A few bits I didnt understand.
Score:7.9 out of 10. See it, if only for the president mans acting.

Notting Hill was nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Another 12 wins & 14 nominations.
It is a silly film, and gash may be a good word to describe it, but it's enjoyable and funny.
I also like Lazy Town

Yes, especially when she falls in love at the rehab camp 
Although my personal favourite has to be the princess and the stable boy. I shall review that later

Grog me.
Quote: Marton
Lazy Town freaks me out in a very, very bad way. I find Notting Hill a frivolous romp. I don't have to think about it, but I like it. It makes me smile.

Hope is important.
Title: Them.
Genre: French Horror movie.
Good actors: All the actors are really good.
Products Placements: Nokia.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: 6.
Attractive females: Clementine.
Best Quote: "They did not want to play with us".
Highlight: It is really creepy and jumply, but also it really quiet - all the music and noises are really important.
Lowlight: The big secret at the end is sort of disappointing a tiny bit, but also it is pretty scary too.
Score: 8 screams out of 10.

Title: Rocky Balboa
Genre: Rocky Movies
Basic Plot: Rocky is old but wants to fight. Same as all of them
Good actors: Mr Stallone.
Products Placements:www.goldenpalace.com - written on the chest of a half naked ring girl. I was horrified to find it was a real productly placed website.
Minutes too long: Arrive late to this movie. About 60 mins late will do.
Deaths: My attention span.
Hotties: Women may like the big muscley black man. But that's not my bag, baby.
Highlight: The fight at the end was quite entertaining. People will like the standard training montage, but it's not as good as in the other movies.
Lowlight: Basically it's a really really good 40mins long movie about a fight. But everything that happens before they get in the ring is boring and not needed.
Score: Better than Date Movie.
An actual score please: 5.95/10

Attractive males: Joquin Phoenx
Attractive females: Bryce Dallas Howard is really pretty and sweet.
Best Quote: “Some people, just a handful, mind you, give off the tiniest colour - like a haze - it's all I ever see in the darkness”.
Highlight: All the characters and story are really deep and complicated and important. It is really pretty and peaceful. Also, the secret twist is really surprising and smart.
Lowlight: It is pretty slow, sometimes, but it is sort of helpful to explain everything and also develop everything properly; it is like a book, I think.
Score: 9 secret floorboards out of 10.

Minutes too long: None.

Lowlight: It is really sad lots of characters are really stuck, but they do not realise so much.
Score: 8 completely original moments out of 10.

Title: Blood Diamond.
Genre: Action.
Good actors: Leonardo Dicaprio. Also Donatello and Raphiel have minor parts. Michelangelo's agent forgot to tell him about the movie so he isn't in it.
Products Placements: Diamonds. And blood.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: Yes.
Attractive males: That dishy Dicaprio fella.
Attractive females: I didn't think she was. The main female, I mean.
Best Quote: “Let's just hope they don't discover oil here. Then we'd have real problems”.
Highlight: Supprisingly brilliant. ie: Not your average action crap
Lowlight:
Score: 8.9 bloody diamonds out of 10
Dibbs on reviewing 23, for which the trailer looks pretty good
( ^ not to be confused with 24, which would be a very long and boring movie)

Why do I feel the need to go
If I was Mr Sutherland I'd have said NO! But then again I'd have said no after the second series of 24.

Crumbs, when has this thread been here since? 
Title: Hot Fuzz
Genre: Action.
Basic Plot: Cop is so good at his job that he gets chucked out to work in a country town where apparently nothing goes on, but he uncovers some shady goings on and generally kicks a*s.
Good actors: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost.
Products Placements: Somerfield and Dolmio.
Minutes too long: Too short, if you ask me.
Deaths: Only about 5 actual onscreen deaths.
Hotties: Simon Pegg.
Pervs in the audience: None that I know of; i was too busy watching.
Best Quote: "What did you say after you killed him? Man, you really should've said 'chill out'!" or something to that effect.
Highlight: I won't spoil it, but the beginning moment of the final half-hour kickassathon. The kick. You know the one if you've seen it.
Lowlight: The slightly dodgy ending bits.
Score: Anything less than 10 would be sacrilege.

Title: 16 Blocks.
Genre: Good cop/Bad cop/Bad cop/Bad cop/Bad cop/Bad cop/Bad cop.
Good actors: Bruce Willis, although his performance is dissapointing. Let it also be known that I just accidentally typed Will Smith, which amuses me. Bruce Willis aint black, fool.
Products Placements: None that I saw.
Minutes too long: Ten or so.
Deaths: Yes.
Attractive males: No.
Attractive females: No.
Highlight: The bus going crashhhhhhhhhhhhh?
Lowlight: Every 'twist' was either really predictable or badly delivered. Bruce Willis looked like he couldn't be bothered to act. The camera lingered too long after the first shot was fired and it looked like a cringeworthy Matrix excerpt.
Score: 5 drunk old men out of 10.
Go See It?
If you're a die hard Bruce Willis fan (HOMG LOLZ!) then go see it, if not you're not missing out
