*************NO SPOILERS HERE PLEASE*************

If you can't write about a movie without giving away the ending/the plot then you are a numbskull and should go ply your trade on Hoganstand.

Star Trek is a thrill ride from start to finish, im a big Star Wars fan and loved some of the Trek movies especially undiscovered, and first contact.

I went with a mate who hates spaceship movies as he calls them, but he enjoyed it. The story is fun and fast paced, one of girls on the bridge is super hot, great special effects aswell, how good were the actors playing spock and kirk, fair play. JJ Abrahams can do no wrong it seems.

Watched Pineapple express last night aswell, cracking show, ridiculus scenarios but hilarious stuff .
I thought pineapple express was one of the most boring 'comedies' i've ever seen, maybe i'm getting too old for that type of thing anymore, but i don't remember one mildly amusing moment.

Pineapple Express is a "There's no one-liners but we have Seth Rogen who can look funny without doing anything" movie. And it works! Everything him and James Franco do seems hilarious.

I thought Pineapple Express was terrible too...and I agree with everyon on The knowing.
Been a while since i've seen a really good new film, though I dont get to the cinema too often.
Has anyone seen the 3rd Underworld film? Liked the first 2, but the fact that Kate Beckinsale isnt in the 3rd has put me off a bit.

Went to The Ugly Truth last night.

I don't think it was as good as The Proposal as it spent a long time setting things up but there some laugh out loud moments.

The best was the When Harry met Sally esque moment.

Coco Avant Chanel - went to see it last Friday and for a foreign film I enjoyed it. Rather girlie but very watchable.

Mesrine (Part 1): Killer Instinct

Great gangster movie, in French with subtitles; a lot of violence, but that only mirrors the reality of Mesrine's life. Some boyo he was.

Went to see 'Time Travellers wife' the other night. It was ok. Sorry funny concept but there you go.

Also was made watch Mama Mia last night. PB cannot sing for a start. But it wasn't that bad of a film.

I was considering the worst film ever. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Think next film i'll be watching will be 17 again. Its got some good reviews on here.

Yeah, 17 again isnt bad, few laughs, I thought anyway. Apparently if you like it though you're a teenage girl so I dont know. I dont know what you are for liking mamma mia.

Mamma Mia is watchable even though half of them haven't a note. I watched the Hangover at the weekend and thought it was good.

I am really looking forward to the new Twilight movie New Moon coming out.

Saw District 9 the other nite... Very strange movie - one of those you come away wondering WTF?!

But I found it enjoyable none the less. Thought it was quite innovative

Eastern_Pride · August 21, 2009, 12:05:49 PM

District 9 was an....odd movie. The lead was extrordinary is his role, he was truly believable and was integral in making the film what it is. The action of the movie carried it on and was very good
Not bad, I saw one magazine call it an Oscar contender.
