Be Excellent To Each Other

Easy A is surprisingly good, and Emma Stone is indeed ridiculously hot.

Emma Stone is mine.

I recall the films, I just didn't conenct them with the Resi games then posting!

Mila is mine, anyway.



Isn't it, and isn't she? Excellent film

If you count animation then Street Fighter: The Animated Movie and Final Fantasy: Advent Children are good.

Do Tron and The Last Star Fighter count?

Silent Hill was ok. Not brilliant. I enjoyed Mortal Kombat, but since I haven't seen that since I was about 17, my memories could be cloudy.

At the opposite end... Alone in the Dark made me want to kill all involved.

I remmeber reading something about the director of Alone in the Dark which alleged that he only made crappy box office flops as part of a tax dodge thing for film investors. Clearly they'd seen The Producers.

That'll be Uwe Boll. He also made a house of the dead movie which was absolutely terrible.

No, he makes crappy films because he's a crappy director. He's allowed to make crappy films because of a German tax loophole, which has been closed, so Christ knows why he's still allowed to make them

I was surprised, too. Then unsurprised. It's Clueless-level.

Also: I'll fight you all for Emma Stone.

Did a search for comments on this film (just finished watching it) and this summed it up pretty well for me.

Watched Law Abiding Citizen again last night and while I enjoy it, that ending will always bug me. The night before that I watched Stigmata - wasn't sure what to expect from it, but I enjoyed that too. I seem to be doing ok out of the Play.com sale stuff I bought so far it seems.

Mortal Kombat was a pretty enjoyable movie.

Don't get me started on the sequels though.

Watched Eden Lake on Friday. What a horrible fucking movie that is. Hated every moment! Nearly turned it off halfway through but we thought there would be crazy payoff at the end, instead no...

The disc was thrown in the bin afterwards.


Then I watched the Jurassic Park movies over the weekend. I fucking love them all, and will go as far as to say that Jurassic Park 3 is almost as good as the first one.

Watched that earlier this year. Grim film and not one I will ever watch again.

I wouldn't say I enjoyed it at all or say that it was meant to be making much of a point but there was something quite amusing about a horror movie with chavvy kids as the monsters.

Just watched a trailer. Looked like the sort of thing that I would hate.

Yeah, I liked that too. Gabriel Byrne is always good mileage.

Although I have to admit I was expecting something a bit more like End of Days


Wasn't the release of Eden Lake accompanied by a rash of possibly made up horror stories about chavvy kids in the tabloid press?

It is horrible. That's why it's so good. What payoff were you expecting? A hero comes to save everyone and beat the baddies? You watch too much SF. If a juggernaut came along and righted every wrong, it'd completely invalidate all that came before it.

The brilliance of the film is that you think it's all going to be ok. A bit of violent retribution, get away from everything. And then reality bites. That's life.

If you want pure fantasy in your films, that's fine. But don't blame Eden Lake for not being Flight of the Navigator.

I don't watch films for reality. If I wanted to see people getting beaten up by chavs, I'd take a stroll through Toxteth.

Fuck realism

Exactly. So don't watch a naturalistic film about people getting knacked in north England. It's not the film's fault you want escapism. It does what it does very well.

Too well.

I shall not watch it.

Job done. *dusts hands*

Halfway through "everything must go" at the moment. I'll watch the rest later, it seems to be a nice idea and relatively well acted, but by Christ is it slow.

A design, foooor life!

Unless something utterly incredible comes out in the next 2 months, We Need to Talk About Kevin is the film of the year, hands down.

I hated Eden Lake. Aren't there enough true stories of injustice and 'bad guys winning' in the world without having to make a new one up? Especially one so deliberately concocted just to anger the viewer. I thought it was cheap.

SPOILERS!

X Men first class - I'm 20 minutes in. Awesome negligee.

Always good to watch films in something comfortable.

It's only feminist weirdoes who tell you it isn't.

Most excellent Wolverine moment as well. Really liking this so far.

EDIT - this is really realyl good. The best xmen film by far.

last night turned the Social Network off after 20 minutes and watched Hellboy instead
hurrah for escapism, action and lovely visuals

He's covered in Tatts and has big 'oles in his lugs.

Real Steel - 8/10

Great fun, recommended.

I'm off to the cinema in an hour for an all-night movie marathon. The movies I'll be watching tonight are (in no particular order):

Troll Hunter (Am yet to see it, but it's supposed to be good).
Pan's Labyrinth (One of my most favourite movies ever and I would have paid the entrance fee just to watch it without the other titles, despite owning it five times over two formats).
Drag Me To Hell (Booo. What a load of shite. Piss break and a nice kip will be had while this is on, unless it's on last, then I'll be going home early).
The Evil Dead (Brilliant, though I've not watched it in years. Will be cool to see it on the big screen).

Thank God someone agrees with me.

Zardoz thought it was better than Scream and The Evil Dead, the wrong'un.

I watched The Mechanic recently. Keep in mind that I like Jason Statham's silly action films when I say: it's bobbins. Avoid.

I watched Paranormal Activity 2 last night.

It was absolute tripe! I’m not sure whether I expected anything else to be honest.

Did you like the first one?

Drag Me To Hell is great, you belmets.

That's an awesome line up of films there TK-421.

I did yes. I thought it was pretty creepy and sort of believable really which is strange because the 2nd one is pretty much exactly the same as the first... Except rubbish.

In Time is good. JT carries it quite well, leaving aside a few bits of silliness, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Deffo worth a look.

If 'Weird Science' was gender flipped, it'd be a really creepy film.

2 15 year old girls 'make' an older man who awakens their sexuality and changes their life forever.

Women have no sexual urges until their wedding night, and if they do,they get chainsawed to death.

I've seen Ides of March and We Need to Talk About Kevin recently. Both were very good films with lots of acting and stuff but I just didn't really find them enjoyable. I'd be more inclined to watch Three Musketeers again than either of these despite knowing perfectly well that these films are very clever.

They're just not really very entertaining. But they're not supposed to be I guess.

In time is the worst film I've seen in recent memory
But still I maintain Amanda Seyfried can DO NO WRONG.

What? Are you mad? It's a good, entertaining hour and a half. Amanda Seyfried wears less and less as the film goes on, and she's able to run in four inch heels. The guy playing the chief minuteman was very good in it, his mate with the hat, less so, the chief timekeep excellent. The overall conceit is an interesting idea, which gets picked up and run with towards the end, and does so quite well. I think it's fairly well photographed and Leonard from Big Bang Theory is in it. it's never going to win any Oscars, nor highbrow acclaim, but it's good enough to score a comfortable 8/10 from me, despite the nods and winks to Marxist philosophy.

Which bits didn't you like?

Speaking of hot women, thanks to Mrs T's gossip magazines I found out that Scarlett Johansson had naked pics stolen from her email and put online.

Obviously I didn't google for them, but if I had I would have to say, hot damn!

In addition, Paramore's singer had her phone hacked, or somesuch and the bounder tweeted topless photos of her, I heard.

Get this information into the Scrot thread, stat!

Had a load of cheap Play.com DVDs (10 for less than £30.. not bad) delivered today. Decided to re-watch 16 Blocks first - I wonder if the noticing of the toilet seat being up was a nod to The Last Boy Scout (which is another film I need to re-watch). Not sure which ending I prefer though.

Mind you, Silence of the Lambs was also delivered today so I should watch that first as I've not seen it yet (yes, I know).
