Just curious, just post it and give it a rating out of 10. It doesn't matter whether you saw it at home or at a cinema just post! ;)

I'll go first.

Final Destination 3: 9/10.

Brokeback Mountain:( : 4/10 (she wasn't worth it either)

Ultraviolet: -8/10
But before that I saw The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada: 9/10

Good Night and Good Luck: 7/10

Howl's Moving Castle: 10

Man on Fire... 8/10

Fun with Dick and Jane 6/10

I went to see it at the 50 cent movies, I figure it scores as high as it does because Jim Carrey didn't annoy me as much as usual, but I had to take off some points because the last 45 minutes sucked big time. It seemed like there was about 30 minutes of movie missing inbetween the middle and the end that would have tied everything together a little better.

Jean de Florette 10/10

Vertigo 10/10

Brokeback 9/10

Hoodwinked 6/10...it was funny, but could have been made a lot funnier.

Bend It Like Beckham (finally!) -- 9/10

I was gonna give it an 8, but Keira Knightly looks so bloody hot in her footie kit!

Its just not fair is it.....:p

No...no, it really isn't. :(

Still, we can but dream. Regularly. And Pervertedly.

True.:p

Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit 10/10

Sheer genius, anyone who disagrees does not have a soul :p

The Proposition 8.5 I think.


Was going to go and see The Hills Have Eyes remake last night, but have lots of work at the moment so didn't have the time :(

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (sp?): 8.5/10

Last cinema film was Jarhead: 6.5/10

The Adventures of Priscilla- Queen of the Desert (thanks, Fass).

Umm, I'm going to rank it once I saw it again, this time with subtitles, and actually understood something. But so far, I liked it enough to actually do see it again, so expect a high rating :)

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (sp?): 8.5/10

Last cinema film was Jarhead: 6.5/10
there's a sequel to ghost in the shell? ooh...



last one i watched at the cinema was Munich: 9/10

last film i saw in general would be The Blues Brothers: 8.5/10 (though i can't say i paid attention to all of it... *cough*)

edit: actually, no, the last movie i saw was a DVD of Eraser: 6/10... just not as hilarious as True Lies ("You're fired!" :p)

Domino. I got to see kiera's tits, but I wasn't impressed. The movie sucked. 4/10.

Last one I've seen in cinemas was Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Give it a 9/10.

I watched Assault on Precinct 13 on pay-per-view a couple of weeks ago- 3/10

The White Countess. 8.5/10

.

Domino. I got to see kiera's tits, but I wasn't impressed. The movie sucked. 4/10.

They are nice in The Hole, Kiera's tits I mean. I haven't seen the movie. Of course she was only 16 when she filmed it, so maybe I shouldn't think that.

She hasn't got much in the way of breasts, but she's still bloody hot.

I don't think that particular area has grown much since 16. I'm not saying I think little tits are ugly. I'm rather fond of all shapes and sizes...it's just that they were shockingly pale in relation to the rest of her skin tone, and she was in an unflattering position when they were exposed. I object to the fact that I didn't get a nice, flattering view is all.

I would provide you with a link to the Hole screenshots, but I would be banned from the forum I believe.

Jean de Florette 10/10
I love that film.

And mine would be the same as PMs' :P

Actually, no, watched Love Actually last night. Rating would depend on what I'm rating it as... For what it is, it gets high marks. Enjoyable, funny, sweet, realistic when it wants to be, nice mix of story lines.

*checks*

DVD - Jarhead 10/10
Cinema - Hostel 11/10

Unbreakable on DVD--9.5/10

It's Shamylan's (sp?) most underrated movie.

Crash. i didnt like the way it ended. i would have given the best film of the year to Walk the Line. it was better...

Memoirs of a Geisha 8/10

I love that film.

Not many have heard of it, especially on this side of the Atlantic. I was introduced to it by a friend in Geneva a few years back, and I bought the DVD.

The last movie I saw in the cinema would have been Serenity 8/10

Just came from "The World's Fastest Indian." It's not about Indian astronauts. 8/10.

I saw "Eight Below" a couple weeks ago. I cried like a baby through the last half-hour. 9/10

I saw Lord of War recently, it was a 7/10 and I rented Jarhead so I will watch that this weekend.

Battleship Potemkin-10/10

Truly a masterpiece of early film. I would recommend it to anyone.

Actually, I saw Hunt for the Red October on the way to new mexico during spring break, which was pretty good. 8/10

Battleship Potemkin-10/10

Truly a masterpiece of early film. I would recommend it to anyone.
And before they remake it with Mel Gibson or George Clooney.

And before they remake it with Mel Gibson or George Clooney.

If they remade that movie with ANYONE, I would cry. And then blow up the earth.

"The Libertine" with Depp and Malkovich. Wasn't bad.

Lord of War - 6/10. A resounding meh.

Dave Chappelle's Block Party, I don't know...7 out of 10 I guess, I've never liked those kinds of rating systems. It was a party with a point that didn't bog itself down with the message too much. A little disjointed in the orginazition of the narrative. Could have been put together with a little bit of a better arc, but overall I enjoyed it even with one of the speakers blowing.

Before that it was World's Fastest Indian, which I liked. It wasn't a spectacular movie, actually struck me as very New Zealand in nature (not that I have an authoritative grasp of New Zealand cinema-just that film school survey kind of understandings...)

Tomorrow I'm going to watch V for Vendetta, maybe because I hate myself, I don't know.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: 4/10

I'm not a fan by any stretch, but this movie lacked something the earlier Potter films had. I just didn't feel like much of anything had happened, aside from the "big revelation" at the end.

Tomorrow I'm going to watch V for Vendetta, maybe because I hate myself, I don't know.

Yeah...I'm gonna see it tomorrow as well, but I can't help thinking that I will walk away dissapointed.

Ah, can't remember the exact title (saw it 2 weeks ago). I believe it was called "Eye of the Needle"

It was a movie made around the 60's...

Centered around WW2, where a German spy is in England, doing what German spies do best...spying. And he, upon his mission to deliver information to Hitler personally, is washed up upon Stone Island, off the coast of England (or Scotland). So he mingles with the family and nothing but bad stuff happens as a result while the British are tracking him down due to their fears that he discovered the plans for D-Day.

It was a simple movie, but I can appreciate it.

Walk The Line - 8/10.

Memoirs Of A Geisha - 3/10 (only because the sets, costumes, etc were very beautiful).

DVD: Kung Fu Hustle.

Cinema: Star Wars Episode 3.

Want to see again: Tora Tora Tora. Not that boring Pearl Harbour.

"The Crawling Eye".

As reported in my Backwoods Movie Quest thread.

Walk The Line - 8/10.

Memoirs Of A Geisha - 3/10 (only because the sets, costumes, etc were very beautiful).
Walk the Line
Before that King Kong.

Star Wars Episode II. 8/10.

"North Country." 6/10. Not a bad movie, but not a particularly good one either.

Pride and Prejudice (2006)

9/10

Lord of the Rings.

That's right

All three.

Last Saturday night/sunday morning.

At the Theater Del Mar in Santa Cruz.

I am a nerd. And damn proud of it, too.

Ah, yes, but did you watch all three extended editions?

"Ultraviolet"...

I sucked...which is sad because I REALLY liked Wimmer's previous movie "Equilibrium".

I'm seeing "V for Vendetta" this weekend. Hopefully that will make up for everything.

Ah, yes, but did you watch all three extended editions?

They were only playing the regular ones at the theater. :(

I wish they had been playing the extended additions.

Based on the book written by Jack Higgins. If you liked the movie, try the book.

The last movie I saw was "Walk the Line". I probably wouldnt have picked it out myself, but my wife was interested, so we got it and I actually stayed awake for it.
I'd say 7/10- it was a sad story to me, but the music reminded me of when I was a kid and listening to a few Johnny Cash albums my parents had. I found myself liking it again.

V for Vendetta - 5/10. On the whole a lot better then I was expecting. Not that great though.

The Hills have Eyes - 7.5/10. A whole lot better then I expected, was expecting the standard Hollywood remake, a la The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Better then that though, not as good as the original, but a lot 'prettier' (for want of a better word).

North Country...excellent flick.

oh and 9/10

The Adventures of Priscilla- Queen of the Desert (thanks, Fass).

Umm, I'm going to rank it once I saw it again, this time with subtitles, and actually understood something. But so far, I liked it enough to actually do see it again, so expect a high rating :)

So, have ya seen it already? We have to exchange quotes and talk about which part you loved the most.

"What was the last film you saw?"

Jarhead, unfortunately. It sucked. Three out of ten! :(

So, have ya seen it already? We have to exchange quotes and talk about which part you loved the most.

It's a great film.

Three of my favorite quotations from it:

"Just what this country needs. A cock in a frock on a rock."

"Why don't you just light your tampon, blow your box apart? Because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get, sweetheart! "

"There's two things I don't like about you. Your face. Now shut both of them"


(Apologes if I got the quotations wrong, it has been a while since I saw them)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire... 4/10. Certainly not as good as the last Harry Potter.

Too much focus on the action bits, at the expense of the story, and too much made little or no sense if you didn't read the book first.

It's a great film.

Bernadette: No, I'll join this conversation on the proviso that we stop bitching about people talking about wigs, dresses, bust sizes, penises, drugs, night clubs, and bloody Abba!
Tick: Doesn't give us much to talk about then, does it?

Mitzi: I never heard Trumpet play.
Bernadette: Play? He didn't *play*, dear. Trumpet didn't have a single musical bone in his body. No, Trumpet had an unusually large foreskin. So large that he could wrap the entire thing around a Monte Carlo biscuit.

Damn, I love that film.

"Broken Flowers" - just finished watching it. It's beautiful.

Just been looking at the imdb page found another I quite liked:

Bernadette: Stop flexing your muscles, you big pile of budgie turd. I'm sure your mates will be much more impressed if you just go back to the pub and fuck a couple of pigs on the bar.

Damn, I love that film.

A good film to love, haven't seen it for a while though I'll probably be watching it in about a month.

Because of Priscilla... and The Rocky Horror Picture Show my parents (especially my Dad) thought I was gay. :D

Something I'm still not positive he is convinced of otherwise.

V for Vendeta, 2/10.

You soooo need to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/)

Hedwig: How did some slip of a girly boy from communist East Berlin become the internationally ignored song stylist barely standing before you?

Hedwig: The road is my home, and my home, the road. And when I think of all the people I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me. Tommy, can you hear me? From this milkless tit you have sucked the very business we call show!

Hedwig: After my divorce from Luther I scraped by with baby-sitting gigs and odd jobs - mostly the jobs we call blow.

Ooh, looks good. Thank you for the suggestion.

I'll have to see if it is afordable.

Rocky Horror Picture Show last night

I love going to see that.

-snip-
That movie was pure poetry and grace.

Wayne's World! woo!

and before that, the Pink Panther in the cinema :)

Right now im watching Spanglish, but the last film i saw was Wedding Crashers.. i think.. god knows, this damn hbo and cinimax seems like tv anymore..

Ultraviolet. 4/10.

I expected something stupid, but pretty looking, with Milla Jovovich running around shooting/stabbing random people to death while in a midriff revealing outfit. That's pretty much what I got, only with shitty looking CGI, some obvious budget cutting measures, and some random kid that wasn't in the trailers.

If they'd been willing to spend enough money to make the CGI better, and film all of the fight scenes, I'd say that Ultraviolet was a good watch while you're tired/drunk, but as is, it's only wasted potential. Well, B-movie potential.

Transporter 2. 2/10.

Had plenty action but the story was so outragous to even consider it possible. You are pointing out the plot holes and stupidity throughout the whole thing. Don't waste your time on this!

Block Party. Genius.

Just curious, just post it and give it a rating out of 10. It doesn't matter whether you saw it at home or at a cinema just post! ;)


Last one I saw at home on TV was "The Graduate": 8/10.

Last one I saw at the theater was "Jarhead": 7/10.

American Band- 9/10 if you like movies about horny camp counselors dancing naked in showers. Real funny.

'Walk the Line'
Great movie, though I would have liked the 'Fulsom Prison' sequence to have bgeen longer. That's was one awesome live show.

35 mm.

Cinema: Firewall
DVD: Constantine

The Hidden Fortress - Akira Kurasawa. Great movie.

DVD: Minority Report - 8/10
Cinema: Either Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (8/10) or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (3/10), can't remember which.

The THGttG suffered from the same effect as the Harry Potter movies have - I absolutely loved the book, and the mediocre movie just couldn't live up to my imagination. At least the Hitchhiker movie decided to go for the cliched love story, unlike the annoyingly dark Harry Potter movies.

The only movie I've seen that was better than the book was The Godfather. You can't really expect too much from adaptions.

Chushingura, the loyal 47 Retainers. Nothing like a good old fashioned samurai flik.

The Bruce

Yeah...I'm gonna see it ((V for Vendetta)) tomorrow as well, but I can't help thinking that I will walk away dissapointed.

I was pleasantly surprised. I saw V for Vendetta last night, and I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

I'm told some fans of the comic book are a little upset, but I never read it, and taken seperately, I found the movie to be thoroughly entertaining, and well worth my $7.

Although, a small smiley notation is in order...

Reactions

Conservatives to the movie: :upyours:

Liberals to the conservatives: :headbang:

Moderates to the liberals and conservatives: :rolleyes:

Yeah...that about sums it up. I need to go wash my hands now for using those smileys.

At the cinema: 13 (Tzameti) - French film, very good. Ending is slightly disappointing, and the main part of the film, the game, is a little bit predictable. Tension is built very well though. 8/10

On DVD: Laputa: Castle in the Sky - Anime film from the '80s, English language version, with the voices of Mark Hamill, James van der Beek, and Anna Paquin. A typical moral story about friendship, but very well done. Some exceptionally twee moments, but overall very good. 7/10

:eek: i love that movie! its utterly indicative of my childhood as every summer holiday, as far back as i can remember, i'd make a point of watching that at least once :)

sadly the new disney-dubbed (Hamill) version is not as well dubbed as the original british dub from 86 imho. they changed all the music, too, and the original just felt far less 'cartoon-y' and more grown-up (actual anime rather than disney) than this new version. i got the dvd and was disappointed. still great though!

I hadn't heard of it until about 6 weeks ago, then my girlfriend randomly told me she'd loved it when she was a kid, and she'd had it on video taped off the tv, but she'd lost the tape. As it was her birthday coming up, I had a look online and found it on DVD. When I gave it to her she was almost happier than I'd ever seen her.

V for Vendetta 10/10

V for Vendetta 10/10

A) It wasn't that good.
B) Don't gravedig.

Rock and Rule, baby.

Funny this thread showed up, just watched a crap load of movies in the last day or so.

Top Gun - everytime I watch it gets worse, which is unfortunate. 6.5/10 on this last outing
Gladiator - didn't even really watch, just made out with my GF....so 10/10 seems right
Catch Me if You Can - interesting, no :fluffle: in this one though, her dad was there so 7/10
Secondhand Lions - only watched it because she hadn't, this sorta just turned into another 10/10.

I watched The Little Mermaid with my niece earlier today.

Space Nuts. 1/10.

My entire review of it can be found at the Pornosseuse Report (http://pornosseuse.livejournal.com) (not work safe).

It was really awful. But hey, it was featured in The 40 Year Old Virgin, so I kinda had to check it out.

Jackie Chan's First Strike 8/10

*thinks*

True Lies, was on a couple of months ago here, so it might have been that. Or maybe it was 'The Man Who Copied', a nice Brazilian film.

True Lies: 9/10 (I've seen it roughly one billoin times now)

The Man Who Copied: 9/10

Alien Autopsy with Ant and Dec.

Actually the worst film I've seen in a long time, 2/10.

Just curious, just post it and give it a rating out of 10. It doesn't matter whether you saw it at home or at a cinema just post! ;) At home: Men in Black II
Meh, it gets a 7/10 only because it was in German and I'll give the English version the benefit of the doubt.

Cinema: V for Vendetta
Gets an 8/10, because although it was rather slow to begin with, things picked up near the end.

ooh lets see....

Love me if you Dare (french film): 10/10
awesome.

in theaters last was the new pride and prejudice: 9/10
Kiera Knightly still makes me jealous- even in time period costume.:mad:

Alien Autopsy with Ant and Dec.

Actually the worst film I've seen in a long time, 2/10.
Wait...you paid money to go see this in a cinema?
Surely the posters/trailers/fact it's got Ant and Dec in it would be enough to put you off?

Don't think I've actually seen a film since the last time I posted in this thread...actually, no, I saw most of Fight Club when it was on tv last weekend. Very good film, 8/10.

Going to see a triple bill of Park Chan-Wook's revenge trilogy in a couple of weeks - Sympathy for Mr Vengeance; Oldboy; Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Back to back. 6 hours of Korean psychological gore-fest cinema. Excellent...

Last film in a theatre- I took my boys to see the newest "King Kong". We thought it was great.
The last film I rented was "The Chronicles of Narnia"- the kids loved it and it didnt put me to sleep.

Thank you for smoking: Really good. 9/10.
I can't remember if I already said "Caché". Didn't get it. That means it's good. Nevertheless I'm going to give it only 8/10 for making me feel stupid.

Benchwarmers: 9 out of 10.

It was hysterical, and a lot better than I thought it would be. That's probably because I hated Napolean Dynamite though. Oh well.

i saw lucky number slevin last night...i give it an 8/10 it was not at all what i was expecting. confusing in the beginning, but it all comes together in the end

before lucky number slevin, i saw v for vendetta and i have no idea why you guys are giving it such low rankings. definitely one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. i definitely like the whole big brother ideal behind it. i give it a 10/10

V for Vendetta: 8/10

A History Of Violence

I liked it. My ex-girlfriend hated it.

If you're someone who enjoys good action-violence (interpersonal hand-to-hand combat) and sex sequences, then this is a movie for you.

The Ex:
"If I thought it'd be a porn movie, I'd have rented one on Dickerson Road." (after the 69 scene)

*opens DVD player*

Jean de Florette 10/10
Ohhh...great movie. Have you seen the sequel 'Manon des source"? As good as the first one.

For me, last movie:
Meet the Feebles.
10/10 for gross humour.
(upon finding Dennis searching thru the dirty washing hamper for underwear to sniff)
"Ah, Dennis. On another smelly minge binge, eh?"

ditto on both.
9 for inside man too.

Lucky Number Slevin: 7/10

Actually surprisingly good. Morgan Freeman is awesome and Lucy Liu is adorable.

I tend not to watch a lot of films, as most of the stuff you see advertised is the same old trite rubbish. However, the last one I saw in the cinema was Capote which was worth 7 or 8 out of 10...much better than your average flick.

amityville horror 0/10, abysmal and unintentionally humourous. On a related note, I cant wait to see hostel! If its anywhere near as good as cabin fever it should be great.

I want to see that, but can't afford it in terms of either time or money. :(

I want to see that, but can't afford it in terms of either time or money. :(It's probably out of most cinemas by now anyway, so give it a month or two until it's out on DVD and you can rent it; hopefully things will have changed by then :)

Aye, well worth seeing, since its main storyline deals with something vaguely meaningful rather than some dull ****'s love life, or whatever normally comes out of Hollywood these days.

The original one or the remake?

Girl with a Pearl Earring

I lufferd it.
