Little Blue Fox. - Hope is important.

Hope is important.

 
Title: Spiderman 3.
Genre: Comic-book movie.
Good actors: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James franco.
Products Placements: None, I think.
Minutes too long: It is really long, but it is sort of too short, still.
Deaths: Two (maybe?).
Attractive males: Tobey Maguire, Topher Grace, James Franco.
Attractive females: Kirsten Dunst and Bryce Dallas Howard. Also, Ursula is pretty too, I think.
Best Quote: "We all have choices".
Highlight: It is really cool lots of characters swop with eachother - Peter Parker and Harry and Eddie Brock show Spiderman would be really bad and evil if he made different choices and believed different things; Vemon is like all the anger and arrogance inside Spiderman/Peter Parker, but he realises it is wrong, usually, but Eddie thinks it is exciting. All the baddies and fights are really amazing, and also lots of little characters are really fuuny and neat.
Lowlight: It is sort of disappointing a tiny bit, I think - lots of characters are not so important - there are too many stories and characters, I think.
Score: 7.5 radioactive spiders out of 10.


Title: The Bloodening.
Genre: Horror.
Good actors:
Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: It is pretty short.
Deaths: Lots.
Attractive males: None.
Attractive females: None.
Best Quote: "No, I don't think we want to do that".
Highlight: It is pretty cool all the adults try to control all the children, but all the children control the adults instead.
Lowlight: All the English accents are really bad.
Score: 8.5 pitchforks out of 10.

It hurts too much not to try.

Mancomb Seepgood - Grog me.

Grog me.

 
Title: Paris When It Sizzles
Genre: Oh so wonderful romance/comedy/everything they mock
Basic Plot: Man needs to write script for film by the next day. Audrey Hepburn comes round to type for him and the resulting ideas they spin are what consist of the main part of this film
Good actors: Audrey Hepburn and William Holden are both excellent as the leads, but Tony Curtis steals the show.
Products Placements: The Eiffel Tower
Minutes too long: 0
Deaths: One actually.
Attractive males: Tony Curtis, natch.
Attractive females: Audrey Hepburn is the single most beautiful creation ever.
Pervs in the audience: It's an innocent film, but it's knowing about it's innocence. The chess (or is it draughts? I forget) scene is brilliant.
Highlight: The first initial run of ideas about who might be in the film
Lowlight: Erm?
Best Quotes: "Richard: [showing Gabrielle the apartment] This is it. The office there, I live up here, and uh, the terrace is out there. That rather grotesque object looming so formidably on the horizon is the Eiffel Tower. I had it moved there to remind me what town I'm in. If it offends you, of course, I'll have it taken away again."
Rating: 10

My second favourite film ever.

Strangers With Candy: Urgh, such a disappointment, Amy Sedaris, stop making yourself so ugly and doing that thing with your mouth and twitching your eyebrows, it really f*cked me off.

However, this exchange cheered me up:

*After winning  school science fair*

Mr Noblet:
Hah! I'm hydrogen!
Mr Beekman: I don't get it...
Mr Noblet: The first element...
Mr Beekman: You're boron.

Oh, and the fact that the school principal was called Priniciple Blackman and he was black, that was funny in a Jamie-ish way.

Oh, and I liked the bit when Amy Sedaris stuck the fork in her half-brother's hand. Reminded me of a moment in my life a few years back.


Thank You For Smoking: Better. Funnier. And it had Seth from The O.C being hilarious. Rob Lowe and The Captain can f*ck off, but, on the whole, not bad.

Little Blue Fox. - Hope is important.

Hope is important.

 
Title: 28 Weeks Later.
Genre: Horror.
Good actors: Robert Carlisle, Rose Byrne, Makensie Mackintosh, Imogen Poots.
Products Placements: Asda and HSBC.
Minutes too long: None - it is pretty short.
Deaths: Lots.
Attractive males: Doyle.
Attractive females: Rose Byrne.
Highlight: It is really exciting and jumpy, and also it is pretty satirical/political too - the Green Zone + all the zombies are like Iraq and insurgents, but the American army cannot control it properly. It is really horrific and terrible - I cried 2 times. :-[ Also, there are lots of cool images - it is CCTV and night-vision and hand-held cameras.
Lowlight: Eyes (out vile jelly).
Score: 8.5 screams out of 10.

"twin ceramic rotar drives on each wheel"

equality, tolerance & logic

 
Quote: Marton
Title: Sammy Tsang The Illusionist
Genre: Brilliant movie
Basic Plot: A young boy learns to do magic and impresses this rather tasty rich b*tch, they try to elope (probably) but she is caught and he travels the world alone performing his illusions. Until one day, they meet again...
Good actors: Flawless imho
Products Placements: Just one scene where they eat at McDonalds
Minutes too long: Zero
Hotties: Oooo0o that police constable could arrest me anytime he wanted.
Best Quote: "Promise me you wont do that again!" "I promise you you'll enjoy tonights show".
Highlight: The ending was quite good, and the magic tricks were fun. Ooo! Favourite bit was the sword trick.
Lowlight: Beards. Crown Prince Leopold also had a rather offensive moustache. I liked Eisenheim's facial hair though, he had it goin' on.
Score: 9 out of 10

Wiki makes me like this movie even more:
"So that the crew would not have to use CGI to "fake" the magical illusions seen in the movie, Norton received intensive training in sleight of hand and other stage magic techniques from British magician James Freedman[6] and Ricky Jay.[7]"


Great film that one is

List of films that you must watch

Goya's Ghosts
Code 46
The Science of Sleep
Magicians

Drifting Clouds
A Man without a Past
Lights in the Dusk

Three Colour Blue
Three Colour White
Three Colour Red


Watch any film by Aki Kaurismäki

Watch any film by Krzysztof Kieślowski


There is a film that I want to see, but I've forgotten the name of the film. It is about two girls, both living worlds apart and yet look identical. If one is cut, the other feels the pain. Could someone find out the name of the film for me please?

Title: This is England
Genre: Coming of age drama
Basic Plot: A troubled lad growing up in 80's Britain.
Good actors: Thomas Turgoose as the confused young man, Stephen Graham (ala Tommy from Snatch) as the psychotic Combo. Both deserve a lot of praise.
Products Placements: DM's, Fred Perry etc.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: None.
Attractive males: Not really.
Attractive females: Woody's girlfriend, Lol. She's the spit of my friend Louise.
Pervs in the audience: I doubt it.
Highlight: Shaun getting his 'special' Dr Martens. Too many to mention.
Lowlight: None. Though there's a savage kicking that's hard to watch.
Best Quotes: "you look like Keith Chegwin's son"

Rating: 8 - Meadows continues to produce great films, that offer an independent voice. Honest and refreshing, it's clear that a lot of this film is autobiographical. I was also pleased to see skinhead culture shown in a different light to the usual entirely negative portrayal.

Yeah, um, Alex I do think you should put spoiler tags around it, there's a lot there that I saw coming because of the review... well, it was quite obviously coming anyway but you know...

It is good though. With a really cool reference to the ride at one point (if you're a geek and want to know what that is/ when it is [highlight]just before they go over the waterfall, into Davy Jones' Locker, Barbosa says some lines that are said before you go down a drop in the ride. Yeah, I'm cool...
[/highlight]
Also, first time we've seen a topless Johnny Depp I believe... Makes for a very happy Amy

I saw the mini scene at the end of the credits too. You weren't the only one. I stayed till the end to get the most out of my £7.60. (I've paid £15 to see a film once so I don't know why I'm bitching about a ticket that was half of it.)

Remind me not to come on VR until I've finished it.

I'm going to have to read the American version of it. Apparently they change lots of words and they're generally vastly inferior to the English version. Not impressed.

On the subject of POTC... [highlight]Is it just my friends and I who found sea goddess turning into a pile of crabs more-than-a-bit dodgy...[/highlight]

Best Quote? How about
Man #4: [Burst out of the bathroom with his gun] Die you motherf*ckers!
[He empties his entire gun, hitting nothing but air]

Or "English, motherf*cker, do you speak it?"



Are John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson not attractive males?

Heroic would have been saying it when there was an actual crowd there and not being in a speeding car at the time. Still funny I gues but it could have been so much better.
