[When Jokers Attack]

Brilliant film, i bought the special edition dvd, where you can watch it "the right way"

[windy_miller]

Memento is the biggest mindf**k ever

[nightcrawler13]

Doubt - wonderfully acted, Streep was brilliant as the overbearing dragon of a woman. I flip flopped throughout the film as to what i thought the outcome would be...

a very moving ending, though i now feel a tad cold inside

curious case of benjamin button

WOW

no idea why there are so many bad reviews of this, i loved it

forest gump + big fish is the best way to describe it, really nice little story and never gets too outlandish. Really well shot, and considering its almost three hours long it never seemed to drag

watch ittttt

watched slumdog last night and thought it was excellent. 8.5/10

Also watched a film called "the escapist". It's a prison escape movie, with brian cox (manhunter, bourne), damien lewis (band of brothers), seu jorge (city of god, life aquatic), dominic cooper (history boys, starter for 10) & joseph fiennes.

Easily one of the best british movies I've seen in a long time, and well worth a watch.

8/10

Probably my movie of the year so far.

it was just 2.5 hours of bland nothing, especially the acting.

Watch it only if you have nothing else to watch

[Atlanteanlost]

so despite some people saying its great, its really is just forrest gump for the 2000's?

Really? Well its only February

However, I thought it was rather boring and dull. It didn't really go anywhere. I watched the whole movie because I thought that something exciting or profound or clever was going to happen, but it didn't, it was just 2.5 hours of bland nothing, especially the acting.

It's nothing like Forrest Gump, other than a biography. It is 100% lacking any humour, confused as to its morality tale, if it actually has one. I haven't seen a film that takes itself so seriously for years and then completely fails.

The only redeeming feature is that at times there is some good camera work and lighting

Man of the Year is pretty good. I think Bill would have liked it.

[modey]

The first thing i thought of when i watched benjamin button was forrest gump, it's very similar imo.

I'm sure i read somewhere it was by the same guy who did forrest gump?

[Atlanteanlost]

which sounds like forrest gump to me?

I wont mention it again, because I could be miles wide of the mark, but I hated gump with a passion - and I just have a feeling button is going to leave me feeling exactly the same.

twee sentimentality with acting that people perceive as good when really it isn't.

[Acquiesce.]

Anyone watching the BAFTAs?

St Trinians - I surprised myself by actually liking this. I only watched it for a laugh because Russell Brand is in it it's cheesy and predictable but I love the whole group thing it portrays, with chavs and emos and posh totty etc.

Over The Hedge - just another 'we're all a bunch of cute animals who shouldn't get along together but do in the end' disney movie. It was good Sunday morning still dressed in your pj's viewing.

Oh gemma

How surprising is WALL E??

An anti consumerism/big corporation film, made by one of the biggest of them all. The irony was not lost

I really enjoyed it and it got my 3 teenagers talking for ages. (I say ages, it was probably really about 10 minutes, but thats an age for 3 moody teens )

[pinback]

The first act was one of the best of bits of cinema I've seen for a good while.

[sifi]

Agree, thought the first half an hour was mesmerising (and actually quite powerful), after that it becomes merely entertaining.

[pinback]

It's up until the two robots end up on the Axiom. I don't know exactly how long it is til that bit, but that's the cut-off for me.
