Accelerated Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Considering that many forumers here are also regular cinema goers I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread, so basically anyone who has seen a movie at the cinema recently could say a few words about it and give a rating out of 10: A score of ## implies: 9-10 - A must see!7-9 - Recommended viewing5-7 - Above average, though might want to wait for it to come out on video3-5 - Below average, nothing special really, though it wasnt bad1-3 - Pretty bad, dont bother or only watch if stoned! 0-1 - F%$#@% $%@%$@ %&$%^$%& &^$& etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 And now - the first review:Movie: Matrix ReloadedScore: 7.5 Yeah, saw it yesterday. Its basically a must see if your into special effects (probably better than I have seen anywhere else!) and/or are a fan of the original. The plot and the dialogue though are nowhere near as deep and thought provoking as the original (they try very hard - LOL), and the dialogue can be downright terrible at times. Its also a pretty good 'couples movie' thanks to the relationship between Neo and Trinity. So go see it if you want more of the original, otherwise not much point really.

Azat Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Bend it Like Beckham 7 I just got back from the movies where I went to see a what I thought was going to be a dumb film(chick flick) called "Bend it Like Beckham". To my surprise I found the film to be really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harut Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Azat, since Accel's scale is completely out of order, which 7 is that? 5-7 or 7-9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I like the 0-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Azat, I havnt seen it, but its got indians in it, and not just that its got indian girls trying to play soccer! - LOL - and the associated social and acceptance garbage, in my mind this alone warrants an initial deduction of 5 points Harut, Like a typical computer geek everything must be fully defined and you have no imagination if it isnt! Yes 7 is included in both 5-7 and 7-9. Now this may mean that it is both: above average and recommended, or a little more than above average but not quite recommended - you choose. PS, I got finals comin up in a month guys so Im not gonna be around much (or I will try not to be around much ), and two days after the last exam its off to Armenia for a month (havnt been in 10.5 years), Im so excited! Will post my impressions when I return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I agree that the scale leaves much to be interpreted. But then again, it's probably much more clear than 'two thumbs up'. Good luck on your exams accel, and have a safe trip! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghos Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 (edited) L´Auberge Espagnole - European Pudding 7 French allegory about Europe. A young French guy goes to Barcelona for his masters and rooms up with people from other European countries. Pleasant, often funny. Big hit in France and also got a few prizes. Was presented in Cannes last year. Edited May 26, 2003 by Boghos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted May 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 The Run 10/10 Basically a promo shoot of the new Nissan Zed blasting around the streets of Prague at dawn. First time I saw it was on the big screen, before the Matrix, and it was AWESOME. You can watch it here. Caution: That meaty exhaust note causes excessive salivation!

Accelerated Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Time to resurect thread I think....i seen a bunch of movies since last time, but will only review the film I saw last: Jason vs Freddy (or is it the other way round - LOL) yeah we were originally going to see KillBill (new Tarantino flik), but one of the guys is a big 80s horror fan so Jason v Freddy it was..... Pros: not scary, eye candy (in form of hot blondie with nice rack ), Jasons machete, some hillarious scenes and one-liners. Cons: not scary, Freddys face and clown outfit, (very) poor acting, childish plot Verdict: mind-numbing gore-a-thon 2 starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 (edited) OK - here are a few (recent ones) Gangs of New York (just saw it last night) - 8.7 - DVD I thought it very engaging/intresting - particualry considering the (true, believe it or not) historical aspects of the film. My wife thought the violence was gratuitous... Matrix Reloaded (saw last week) - 8.5 - DVD Action was awesome - whole concept is cool. I particualry liked the highway/freeway chase/fight scenes...and of course the kiss with the Mergovian's (?) - wife...wish i were Neo in that one! LOL. Agree with Accels comments on the diologue & plot & stuff (still great flick!) and other scenes (Zion stuff a bit weak IMO) were lacking a bit... With Friends Like Henry (in French with subtitles) - 7.1 - cable Interesting little subtly done psycho murder story...done pretty well...engaging...but pretty basic Pirates of the Carribean - 8.0 - theater Fun movie with nice special effects - good action...and of course a rackish Johnny Depp to get the ladies going!

sev-mard Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Kill Bill 9.0 This rating scale for me is based on appreciation of what the movie was... A quality replica of cheesy kung fu/karate flicks from the early 80s. Viewed in that light it's great. Over the top violence, kitchy lines, great fights and cool characters.Cool use of costuming and color schemes throughout the flick as well.

THOTH Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah Sev-mard - can't wait to see Kill Bill - i think it is going to be thoroughly entertaining (love Tarentino's stuff...for the most part...and of course he's named a major character after me [in Pulp Finction] ...LOL So do you think it woudl be OK to bring along fairly young kids - or too violent/bloody etc (I know Qt loves the gore...)

ED Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Gangs of New York (just saw it last night) - 8.7 - DVDI just want to Add, typical Marin Scorsese movie, intense, graphic, one I mostly watched this movie because of him, and I do agree with your wife it was a bit too much blood. Never less a great movie. Thoth did you see his "LAST TEPMTATIONS OF CRIST" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never less a great movie. Thoth did you see his "LAST TEPMTATIONS OF CRIST" ? Exactly - I wanted to see it because it was Scorcese...(not for Leonardo! LOL - or even - whats her name..the Blond...)...Danial Day Lewis did a great job though - don't you think..I couldn't figure out who it was - had to wait until the credits...but yeah - great movie - very engaging...if violent certainly (understatement)... and no - have yet to see Last Temptation...certainly on my list...need to see it...

ED Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Ok here is another must see for you "MYSTIC RIVER" Sean Peen was great, so was the movie, check it out Daniel Day Lewis is one of my respected actors of all time, so diverse and creative. Last temptations I think is among (aren’t they all?) Scorcesies best works, you’ll love the soundtrack!!There was a bid controversy from various religious (Christian) establishments in this country, well after you watch it you’ll know why.

sev-mard Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Thoth-jan Kill Bill marshallah bloody er! It might be a bit much, there's a close up seens of stabbings, beheadings and head-shots(from a gun), so it might be too much for the kiddies.

THOTH Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah - I think Kill Bill is out for taking the kids...how will i sneak out to see it is the question... And Edward - agree...already have the soundtrack - have had it for some time..Peter Gabriel...and Gasparian as well - correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
