Movie recommendations

[The Real Laoislad]

Taken Cracking Film should of been Movie of the Year last year its a must see!

What is it with people and TAKEN
I honestly thought it was awful

[leenie]

the books are very good imo...

i am in interested in seeing new moon,  because twilight had very little money spent on it and the special effects are limited... it was only after twilights release that it became so popular....
a lot more money has been spent on new moon and has an added cast of michael sheen and dakota fanning....

i do hope they don't stray to far away from the book as it is well written and not too unrealistic...

i won't be going to see it until next week or so as it is all my students and scor children have been talking about so i think i would feel a tad bit too old!

Avatar from James Cameron will be the biggest movie of the year when it comes out. Its 3D & the trailor looks amazing

They ripped it to shreds on South Park the other week apparently it's a rip off of some film out a long time ago... I'll still probably watch it though.

Anybody into this Twilight Vampire crap? It's out tonight and it will push James Cameron very close as the biggest film of the year. The franchise is a complete gold mine at this stage!!

Yeah, Dance with Wolves. Reading the synopsis of Avatar it sounds uncannily similar, only with aliens instead of Indians. Dances with Wolves was excellent though, so if you're gonna copy another movie you could do a lot worse.

I have seen 2012 and can confirm that it is one of the worst films I have ever watched. Terrible and the special effects/last minute escapes are just tiresome.

Gimmi a break.

I saw 2012 and its like this...
If you are willing to leave your brain at the door and you enjoy excellent (although far fetched) special effects and eye candy then you wont be disappointed.
If you like your action films like Independence Day and the Transformers series then this film is for you.

Its fun, but dont take it seriously as its more of a piss take of disaster films.
Visually its ground-breaking and a good cinematic experience in that way only; as the plot is so hysterically far-fetched it actually pokes fun at itself.

I have also seen The Men Who Stare At Goats this week.
Pure shite, avoid it like the plague.

Seen it there today, enjoyable enough, passed a couple of hours.  Don't think I'd be runnign to watch it again though, by no means a classic. 
Other disaster films are a lot better imo.  Loved the bit where it showed glimpse of the Queen and the corgis heading for the ship, I like subtle details like that.

2012 a load of rubbish. End of.

Leenie, went to see New Moon this evening and thought it was very good. It stays as close to the book as possible in the two hours running time. I am a big fan of the Twilight series and the next one is due out in June. Downside is the amount of fecking children talking during the film. That really gets on my wick people talking during a film

The Hangover is dirt.

Watched a deadly film yesterday evening. Its an older film and it was on true movies on sky and bes on regularly. Its called Gone in the Night and its in 2 parts - excellent film- based on a couple who were wrongly convicted for the kidnap and murder of their 7 year old daughter. Very thought provoking and very sad. Cops were disgusting in it.

I have Terminator Salvation at the house, watching it tonight - any good?  Never got into Star Trek either but a friend who is freakish about it said the new one is brilliant and takes it from the start so you need not know anything about it previously.

Terminator Salvation was excellent imo, it has the grimness of the war and isolation down to a tee. 9/10.

On Star Trek, i went to see with a mate who hates spaceship movies as he calls them but he like the trailer so he said hed tag along. I was blown away and he thought it was brilliant. Im a sci fi geek anyway, more a star wars man, but this Star Trek when it came out on dvd I watched 8 times in 3 weeks. Its definitly the best Star Trek, with First contact the only one close in recent yrs. Up there with the critically acclaimed old ones. Your mate is right, its basically how Kirk and Spock started out from birth to there early yrs. 10/10.

Absolutely crap.  Terrible film, way behind the first two and a lot worse than the third as well.  Bits of it would make you cringe, pure Hollywood rubbish.  So much wrong with this film but I wont ruin it for you.  Oh and this is coming from a massive Terminator fan, I thought I couldn't hate any Terminator film no matter how bad it was...I was wrong.

Hearing good reports about A Serious Man the new Coen Bros movie...anyone seen it yet?

I didn't like Star Trek. Visually I thought it was up there with the best SE I've seen, but the story itself was stupid, boring and predictable.

The only satisification I took away from it was that hit the re-boot button and all 'knowledge' Trekkies had collected regarding the series and films is now void.

New Moon....dragged to see it by the GF was friday. I would go as far as saying i'd rather go blind than see that movie again. Nothing happens and yer one isn't even that deadly. Shocking. If there wasn't books, i'd say it would be one of the worst movies of all time, just getting carried along by the books.
