Little Miss Sunshine 4.5/5

Brilliant, superb, awesome, hilarious, touching. A film about a dysfunctional family and a road trip. Can't beat that.

Instead of reviews I'm going to post how long it took me to work out how long the following were rubbish.

Summer Time Machine Blues - 1 minute
Udon - 7 seconds.
Across a Gold Prairie - 30 seconds
Canary - 2 minutes
Moonlight Whispers - 2 seconds

In The Mood For Love - 4.25/5 (maybe 4.5/5)

A slow burner, but an excellent film. Tony and Maggie are superb in it

Stranger than fiction - 3.5/5

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 09 Apr 2007, 19:48

hey,

Legend Of Zu 3.5/5

So sue me, I still this film although it's almost solely due to the visual ride. Kind of criminal.

The Clones Of Bruce Lee 3/5

Hilarious for the first 20 minutes where John Been plays a professor that clones the diseased Bruce Lee...into Bruce Lee copies (Bruce Le, Dragon Lee). Fun appear sporadically after that but still quite something.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Apr 2007, 21:09

Do you mean diseased or deceased?

Knetan · Post by **Knetan** » 09 Apr 2007, 21:28

hey,

well, seeing as it's Bruceploitation, they could've made up anything but it's deceased.

Casshern - 5/5
What can I say, I loved this movie. What an Anti-War movie!!, Visual effects are superb, but not as pretty as Legend of Zu which still holds up to now. But I loved the whole movie, the whole premise of it.

Very touching, especially the end.

Is that the Japanese sci fi film!

crikey thats some score. Good, but no potato from me, still love the action in it and hell its a film that will look stunning on a nice set up, may be worth getting in HD when it comes along its so nice looking.

Yup that the one

, I can see why Tom and yourself like it, I had low expection of this movie, so I was blown away when watching it. Yes most def, it would be lovely to see this in HD, alongside Fifth Element as well

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 10 Apr 2007, 17:23

I cannot say its a classic for me, but I have fond memories of it even if the plot is a little odd for me and it does drag at times. The trailer was the best thing, it blew me away

had a lot to live up to.

I don't like Casshern, I adore it.
It's comfortably sitting at the top of my all-time Top 10 high above OldBoy, Legend of Zu, Natural City and WuJi.

Best film ever made by a human being IMO.

I'm quite partial to films made by dolphins

hey,

Pursuit Of A Killer 2/5

Long Arm Of The Law meets Dario Argento at Shaw Brothers. Ok in parts and there was a cool, dramatic idea to explore with Lo Meng's HEARTLESS character. Way too little though and otherwise, it feels like a production from a weary studio. Sadly.

Remastered and dumped on vcd which is even more sad.

Life on Mars - Finale: Season 2 - Episode 8 - 10/5 (I mean 5/5)

WOW WOW WOW WOW!

I think I understand. Yes that's it. But why... erm... why did... er.... what does that mean?

Fucking genius. One of the best series ever to grace British TV. 8)

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 10 Apr 2007, 22:59

10/5?

What kind of rating is that?

You mean 10/10 or 5/5?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 Apr 2007, 23:02

Life On Mars is ok but it's not the 2nd coming lol. It's derivative of many better shows

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 10 Apr 2007, 23:13

Maybe he's emphasising how good it is. Although he did it in a profoundly "grim-like" way.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Apr 2007, 23:34

Yeah Bisc, thats what I mean

I mean 5/5, but if there was a higher mark than 5/5 I would give it

LMAO @ your sig

X-Men: The Last Stand - 3.5/5
First time i've seen it since last May. Better than the first, not as good as the second. Definitely the most action packed one yet. Many people (including many of you dudes on here LOL!) don't like the guy but I gotta give it to Brett Ratner for giving this 3rd film of the franchise the boost of energy that the first 2 films lacked. This X-fan thinks Brett did a terrific job!

<b>Exiled</b> 3/5?

My first Johnny To film... (any further recommendations)

I **think** I enjoyed it. I did get a bit distracted by how these hitmen were artists with a 9mm, making a tin can dance and shooting a gun from out of a policemans hands, but then needing a vertiable barrage of shots to merely wing anyone in a couple of hte extended gun fights.

Still, the story was quite clever, and I liked the way that, all the way through you were expecting the back story to suddenly appear in flash back, but it never did, the back story was filled in as the film progressed... although it did tended to rely on conicidence or a complete failure to explain (just who were those other guys at Budda Mountain?)

Worth a rewatch tho.
