Seven Pounds
 

7 Pounds - the Will Smith Movie
It was quite disappointing. The previews looked kind of promising. Acting was good but story is only so so. Can be skipped.

I started watching 30 mins late into the film so for most of the movie I was confused as ****. But I got it all on the 2nd watching and it was amazing.

great film, confusing as hell, but great...still can't get over the part where Jim James sings "Going to Acapulco" at the little girl's funeral

Little Miss Sunshine - ****

Both heartwarming and hilarious. The whole cast is great, but Alan Arkin is the best.

The scene at the end really had me laughing, that dorky little girl is so adorable.

I didn't expect this movie to live up to the hype but I was wrong, this is one of the best comedies I've seen in a very long time.

Really great, but I dig anything with Keira Knightley ;)

John Cusack was pretty good.

Got it for £3 the other day, one of the best bargains i've found in a while!

I do tend to view them as one film, but i always enjoy Tarantino's dialogue so for me it was Vol2. Plus Michael Madsen was epecially very good in Vol2.

So I'm a big kid at heart, sue me :)

I had never seen either of them before until I watched them yesterday with my niece. She had the 2nd one and I bought her the first one and we watched them. Very impressive animation, doesnt really have the big names that say Madagascar had for the voice actors but the casting for the voices was seemingly very carefully done. Denis Leary for a start was a perfect choice for his character. Cutesy enough at times for the kids and very, very funny.

Excellent film 9/10. The characters were so interesting and wonderfull performances by Portman, Owen, and Law but I thought Roberts was not that strong (I read that Cate Blanchett was the first choice for the role, which would have made the movie maybe a 10/10 for me).

Meh.

You not like? It was a bit messy and there looks like studio inteference but I thought it was OK. The castle scenes were useless though.

I agree, more silly than intense.

I liked it alright. But that's just it...it was alright. It had some nice gorey scenes and what not, but even now I can barely remember most of it because it wasn't that memorable. The whole medieval thing was strange and I thought the mohawk guy-with-scantily-clad-dancers-prancing-around-on-stage thing was a little out of place and corny.

It reminded me of Mad Max meets I Am Legend meets Underworld meets James Bond (the car thing you know) meets the Village.

OK. Here goes. Child Neglect, drug abuse, male rape (with a 20" donger I may add), sexual battery, insanity, homophobia, misogony, racism, violence and Mogwai!

Yes it's all here in a film that disgusted me yet fascinated me. Superbly directed on a shoestring budget this small Belgian film (using the Flemish dialect) is like Trainspotting on acid. Every single character is utterly abhorrent with no redeeming features for any of them but it's a bravura piece of film making.

Did I enjoy it? No not really! Was I impressed by it? It's got balls I will say that for it! Oh...the plot you say? A punk band hires a famous author as a drummer. That's as far as I can say!
I don't even know if I should recommend it but one thing for it-it's certainly not safe film making.

Here's the trailer:

A friend of mine told me about that film a while ago, i'm bloody curious i have to say. Also, punk covers of Devo? Brilliant.

I think anyone with a genuine passing interest in cinema should at least give it a chance as absolutely EVERYONE is ripped into and there are some genuinely great moments of surrealism. Soundtrack is great too.

I just saw this:

Just watched Napoleon Dynamite for the 10th time.....so funny!

Finally got round to watching Little Miss Sunshine today.
I had virtually no idea what the film was about beforehand, despite the fact it's been knocking around for ages.

Brilliantly funny. I can't remember laughing so much at a film in years.
The sequence with the dodgy car horn, the police and the dead Grandad in the boot was genuinely hilarious.
The talent show was a different kettle of fish. Funny for all the wrong reasons.
The pressure put on some of those young kids in the real life talent shows has me seriously questioning your collective intelligence.
You Americans are fucked up beyond belief...seriously.

The soundtrack is Devotchka. For me, it made the movie. Get the album if you haven't already (How it ends).

My pm box is empty and waiting. ;)

Sorry, I'm not on my computer, but I figure a simple blog search could get you what you need...;)

I'd say the fact that a movie mocking those talent shows is far more mainstream over here than the talent shows themselves should give you some idea of where most Americans stand on the issue. Anyway, great movie! The car horn scene is classic.

So give me a simple blog link then you unhelpful commie bastard. :(

It's not just those talent shows though is it?
I'd say your religious maniacs are as equally crazy as the ones that flew those planes into the twin towers.
Don't try and avoid having your fair share of nut cases Jansoon.
Admit it...you're all stark raving mad...

Oh we're all stark raving mad, that's a given.

You're right about that being a great movie.
Funniest film I've seen for a good while.

And deprive you of the pleasure of doing your own bloody work? Never...;)

The Day Earth stood still (2008) and it was kinda dissapointing. I expected a real Independance Day type blockbuster, instead it was some drama with a whiny kid and Keanu Reeves doing his 'contemplating' over the faith of the human race..

Pretty ridiculous really. Very stupid at times. Some of the casting is questionable, although not all. I did however find it very funny. Maybe just because I tend to find Larry David's sense of humour appealing?

Meh. I'll probably get hounded for saying so but James Bond films tend to bore me. I always feel as though I know whats going to happen and for this one I was right all along. I dont know enough to start comparing to other Bond films but it wasnt bad, I just wont be watching it again.

I caught this on tv the other day. The surprise ending was ruined for me a few years ago but it was still really good regardless.

Little Miss Sunshine is phenominal. Arkin cracks me up... the scene in the car.
"Don't just **** one woman, **** a lotta women." Gets me every time.
Breslin shines in this. I wonder who really choreographed the scene in the end? Lol.
Carell's character was brilliant, dry humor. Had me dyin'.
Touching, hysterical film - agreed.

The Unborn

Pretty good movie. I expected it to not be too good, but it had me good. The whole story with the movie (audience, date, etc.) was a little better (ie., dude sayin random shit about the movie behind us, me annoying dude next to me, one guy screaming out of place).

Anger Management...it had some pretty funny parts, but also some slowness. I'd give it 5/10.

I watched, Legend of the drunken masters.
Good movie, better then nowadays.

I just saw high fidelity for the first time. I really enjoyed it.

That's a great movie. One of my favorites. I know, that's pretty shocking to hear from a guy on a music forum.

I went to see The Wrestler today. So far it's the best movie I've seen this year (I still have a few more of the big ones to see). Mickey Rourke is phenomenal.

I laughed a lot throughout that film and thats all I look for in anything with Adam Sandler. But the last half an hour or so....

Oh and I agree with High Fidelity. Definitely a film better appreciated if you dig your music but awesome nonetheless I would imagine.

Gran Torino

Not what I expected Eastwood takes the stucture of all his other films, and satirizes and shatters them. It is not the film we wanted, but it was the one we needed. :afro:

Sorry there's no pic, none of the ones I've found are working. :mad:

I saw it when I was 12 and I was like I want to own record shop when I grow up.
