What general film/series have you just seen.. marks out of 5

[Markgway]

Is that the rating-system where you only use 4 stars instead of 5?

Yep.

I don't agree with that. It should be banned and punished. Severely. It goes against ancient scripture.

We all know how much I respect ancient scripture...

Make sure you don't get caught!

Green Hornet 2/5 2nd time around watching this one,my opinion hasn't changed much,it's ok,nothing special and certainly not helped by an appallingly miscast Seth Rogen.plus points are a couple of ok action scenes & Jay Chou as Kato far outshines the lead.

A public pool in your area I presume? Careful you don't get arrested. I imagine they'd love to find out you're doing that.

Emmanuelle: 2.5/5

The makers say the film isn't porn - rubbish. Artfully shot with some nice music, but some of it is still pretty strong even now (the UK BD looks nice and is fully uncut but its not hardcore).
Saying that though there are some scenes that are softer and by that I mean the interactions seem more gentle.
Sylvia Kristel didnt speak any French and had to be dubbed on set.

If they are paid models I am sure they wont complain

I thought it would be that when his life support is switched off, he dies for real. So the part when he is seen living his new life (in the teacher's body) with Christina is like his afterlife maybe?

I thought the same. He had fallen for her by then.

Why didnt he search for the real Sean/another one?

Why bother?

IMO the perfect ending should have been all the characters on the train frozen - end of film.

That would be good but it worked how it was shot too. The perfect ending of Minority Report for me would be when it pans out seeing Sean Archer in prison.

If we say "multiple universes", he stopped the bomb going off in ONE reality, maybe in another it still went off

Yep.

Sourcecode is shite. The central idea is fucking garbage beyond words.

You know it's all just fantasy right?

The Insider 4.5/5

It's excellent. I hope Mann decides to reframe the eventual BD and not sticking the fucking thing so high up this time. He's never done it before or since, so why stick the image of the 2.35:1 so high and not central?

IMO finding out what happened to the guy he replaced is an important point, overlooked. He stole the guy's body (kind of) presumably the real Sean is dead

Quality films I can watch over and over again, well Mortal Kombat Annihilation not so much but I do for some reason

[gasteropod]

Machete: 3/5

Not as enjoyable as Planet Terror and kinda dragged. Enjoyed the naked women though.

[romerojpg]

Lohans boobs were a nice surprise

[gasteropod]

Didn't even know it was her lol, so the redhead then?

[romerojpg]

The Daughter + The Nurse but they also used footage from the old fake trailer, which was not her so two people play her bet her roomie in jail likes her

[gasteropod]

I was surprised how hot Michelle Rodriguez looked in this, she usually looks rank.

[romerojpg]

Haha I did see an interview with her saying she finally after all these years of making films gets them out in Machete. I guess she lied

[brooce-leroy]

I would like to Miss Rodriguez.

The A-Team **

Noisy, ludicrous bubble-gum comic-strip of a movie makes Die Hard look like a minor work of John Cassavetes.
Dumb as a bag of hammers... but never dull.
I tried really hard to indulge its spirit... but gave up by the time 'the team' flew a tank.
From there on in I just coasted on brain autopilot.

[Markgway]

Buried ***
Tense, inherently claustrophobic, and frighteningly credible -- but is this really entertainment?

Machete **.5
Defiantly cheesy and exploitative trash with panache and bucketloads of cartoonish gore.
Can't remember the last time I saw a movie with so many sizzling hot chicks.

The Squeeze 2.5/5 Tough 70's british crime thriller starring Stacy Keach,Stephen Boyd,David Hemmings,Carol White & Freddie Starr!! for some reason this has rather fell into obscurity in recent years,receiving only a big box warner vhs release many years ago and only popping up rarely on tv.it's now available on Warner Archive. not bad,a little slow but solid performances (Freddie Starr is actually pretty decent!),some gratuitous Carol White nudity and no-nonsense violence.worth seeing.

Fast & The Furious 5 3.5/5 Wow here's a surprise,the fifth film in the franchise against the odds is the best of the series.really good actioner is great entertainment and pisses over the likes of The Expendables.a smash hit already and Dwayne Johnson needs to stay in the action genre.

[romerojpg]

Fast & The Furious 5 I think I know the reason why its better, its not about dumb car enthusiasts and girls only like the rest were so much. This time its far more just an action film, than a silly "car scene" film like the rest were.

So much fun I already went to see it two times

Fast Five wasnt about the racing, it wasnt even about the cars which is awsome because the over emphasis on the cars and racing lifestyle is what sucked most about the previous films. F5 could be the sequel to The Italian Job, The Rio Job.

What I said

No car wanking in other words.

Dwayne Johnson needs to stay in the action genre.

See FASTER - he was a beast in that, really nice film, direct and to the point action.
