My choice is the dancefloor scene with the strobe lights, amazing filming. Don't think i'm spoiling anything there!

Really trying to find Session 9 atm. You have pumped me up about it :D :p: I just have a bit of a grumble when I hear that other posters have gotten decent quality movies for like 2-5 pounds. And I'm stuck playing 20 Aussie dollars :( Oh well, seeing Inglourious Basterds a day after tomorrow. Not really a Tarantino fan but looks interesting. |

I enjoy the Crash series much more than the film. A tv series is just the thing that is needed to make the plot flow together over time so it doesn't feel as rushed.
The last movie I watched was Seven Pounds. I spent the first hour confused as hell and not knowing what was going on. After the big reveal I felt better about being confused for so long. I was patient enough to wait it out. |

Oh god this movie was awful. And not even the fun kinda awful were you and some buddies and pass around a joint and laugh at it's bad acting or storyline, this is just another shit video game based movie. Most of my fondest memories of the PS2 was the Max Payne series. Sure the story may have not been completely original, cop's family gets killed, cop seeks out revenge, roll credits. But the games weren't really told through cut scenes but images that the looked like pages ripped out of a graphic novel. The games had a noir setting, which added to the disparity that Max felt. Also the voice acting was pretty good. I thought the sound of Max's voice sounds something right out a detective movie from the 1950's. Something else the game did very well was it was the first to realize (probably after watching the Matrix) was that slow motion and shooting gun's go together like nip slips and celebs. All these things the games utilized made them memorable. The movie however missed the point so much you'd wonder if the person aiming was blind and armless. Mark Walberg plays Max Payne, and I think Mark is a pretty good actor in some movies but here he was pretty awful. He had one facial expression during the entire movie, see that movie poster up there? That's the one. But maybe they were trying to just be like the game. But then I realize, IT'S A VIDEO GAME! The characters didn't even open their mouths when they talked and Max was always giving a creepy smile when you'd pause the game and it'd give you a 360 around him. The story here is changed somewhat from the game, but the important moments are there. The drug depicted in the movie makes it's users see horrible demons, which makes me ask the question WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TAKE IT? Don't people use drugs to make them feel good? Not be chased to by flying hell beasts? Mila Kunis, plays Mona Sax, who is the maybe love interest of Max and equal, and also set out to avenge the death of a loved one. But here she just looks silly. Mila in her dark clothing and lipstick doesn't look threatning at all, and her height doesn't help. I also didn't like how they made the satanic drug lord from the game some tripped out guy with lame neck tattoos. In the game he was some baling manic, here he dones't even talk. But enough of the acting, the action is what helped made the game so fun. So what about the bullet time? Well what bullet time? There really is none in the film, there are a few but most of them are just unnecessary. Why must we see Max cock a shotgun in slow motion when we'd rather see see him floating mid-air, spread out like a cheetah pouncing for attack, firing two berrettas one in each hand with bullet casings flying left and right. I'd love to rant more about how much this movie made a favorite game of mine it's whore to exploit but I don't really have the time. The only thing I will give the film credit for it some of the scenes closely matched the atmosphere and looks of the game, but with bad acting and story, does it really help? No. |

Never get tired of this movie, I just love the entire Firefly story, I love the characters, and I love the acting. The show had real potential but the way the movie went it'd be hard to bring it back as a show. Regardless I always get pleasure from revisiting the series and getting to see some more of Jewel Staite... mmm Jewel Staite |

Started this on Thursday but fell asleep before I could finish it. It's kind of a silly movie, I mean the dialogue can be a little hard to swallow was well as the lack of blood during certain scenes, but some suspension of disbelief has to be had during comic book movies. The movie did plenty of things right such as hiring Ron Pearlman as their lead actor and the use to actors rather than just full CGI. Still haven't seen the 2nd one yet, but one of these days I'll get around to it. If I believed in giving numerical scores for things I"d probably give this a 3.5 out of 5, not great but certainly better than most. http://theroan.files.wordpress.com/2.../gm_poster.jpg I enjoyed Sam Dunn's first documentary on metal, "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" so it's pretty hard not to like this one as it's more of the same, just in different countries. I would have preferred to see more of Sam on camera as well as more dialogue from him, but I certainly did learn about some interesting sounding metal bands, one of whom I can't believe I've been living without. Overall an informative and well done documentary that does expose people to more than just the North American, British, and European metal bands, however I would have liked to have seen some more bands for each country, but you do have time constraints and all that ****e so I won't hold it against Sam too much. Again I'd probably give this a 4 out of 5, worth a look, however if you're not a metal head than I would just recommend renting it. http://www.tcnj.edu/~wygand2/persona...fice_space.jpg Ahh an old (10 years now) cult favourite from Beavis & Butthead creator Mike Judge. Some incredible social satire here on office work, however there's also hints of satire to the manual labor work side of the story. Well written and rounded characters while still coupled with notable stereotypes make this a fun movie to watch if you've ever worked in an office environment. My only problem was with the DVD itself that it was scratched to **** so I ended up jumping around a few scenes and missed out on a few things, but I can't hold Mike Judge accountable for that. I honestly haven't enjoyed myself this much with a comedy in awhile, anybody who hasn't seen it really needs to do themselves a favour and see it already because you're not going to regret it. |
