  1. Elbow pads on their jackets?
  2. Enjoyed it, but would have like to have seen a few clips thrown in.
  3. I love you Gareth, you know that don't you...
  4. She's OK if you need your clothes mended quickly. I'll get my coat (the one with the rip in it)
  5. We don't need to talk about him. Robin Hood is clearly better. Very good sir
  6. He was pretty good. Not sure his classmates appreciated his skills though.
  7. Yeah, I agree with Mrs BOF - there's obvious similarities to the 'last person standing' combat but the surrounding storyline is a completely different animal. Fwiw, I thought Hunger Games was OK, I found it reasonably entertaining but I agree with CVByrne about the acting and technical side which was quite shoddy.
  8. The Hunger Games - Battle Royale with Cheese
  9. Yep, I have a vicious dislike of remakes and recently got dragged along to watch the new Evil Dead. It genuinely made me angry, and not just because it was trying to remake perfection which was grating enough. I found it insulted the audiences intelligence and was above all incredibly lazy. It would have had more soul if they had spent the entire running time pouring red paint onto a few mannequins in a shed somewhere. The only reason to watch the new version of Carrie would be Julianne Moore, because quite frankly she is the dogs bollox.
  10. Yep Scarlett is the absolute definition of sexy for me. And she can act, which is a bonus what with her being an actress.
  11. Just watched it and yeah, I see what you mean. I also think the actress they cast as Carrie is far too pretty for the role, surely it kinda goes against some of the motivations for her peers behaviour? It's Hollywood innit? Pretty face on poster (even covered with blood) = bums on seats.
  12. I think one of the worst ones i've seen recently is the new trailer for the remake of Carrie. It doesn't look too bad as a movie itself but it gives everything away, right up to the finale. Now, I realise that there will be many people who have seen the original so know the basic story anyway, but this trailer appears to leave no stone unturned.
  13. Movie trailers that give away most of the plot and tell the story arc in a condensed format. The best trailers are always the ones that leave you intrigued.
  14. Added that one to my list thanks Mike - looks up my street.
  15. Just got back from World War Z - enjoyed it overall, think it suffered a little from being a collection of set pieces rather than a coherent narrative but it whizzed along at a fair pace and Mr.Pitt was his usual solid self.
  16. Unless that article was written by someone who had actually directed a film they dont really have a leg to stand on, just opinion. Nobody does, you either enjoy it or not, its all opinion same for any critic or bloke in the street. If the camera work is good then its just one of many steps to it being a good film, probably the most important being the script. That's not the point I was making. The article pointed out basic technical flaws in his direction, nothing to do with how much he (the writer) enjoyed the movie (or didn't). Cold, hard facts about the direction. He's a poor director.
  17. Better or worse than Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons? Each to their own and all that but for me life is too short to read Dan Brown. Got through Da Vinci Code and thought it was laughingly bad.
  18. I use www.goodreads.com Got some great recommendations from there.
  19. I read a brilliant article a few years ago which talked about Transformers and how awful from a directing POV it really was. Some of the basic schoolboy errors in the camerawork (emphasis given to triviality, no thought for the scale of shot etc) were truly awful. Bay really is a hack.
  20. It's a Michael Bay movie. **** Michael Bay.
