only in one scene when she has a low cut dress on.And in a repeat of the first movie she gets naked in public.you see nothing though.strangely she doesn't look great in this tbh, she looks bored.

She probably was. I heard Alba say in an interview she wasn't naked, did she have to tell us that?

Seeing Jessie naked would be the only possible thing that could get me to watch that movie. No tits, no bush, no view.

I'm a fan of Shane Black's writing, but I did find Kiss Kiss to be overall a bit of a disappointment. About 2.5/5

Kiss Kiss was better than I expected thats for sure, I expected a slime fest with twats. I got a good 3.5 star film, quite good I thought.

Fantastic 4 part 2 is not better than part 1 in my eyes, still both fine films, just nothing special really.

It was a major mistake to make both with kids so much in mind. They should've been 12 rated not PG rated.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 26 Oct 2007, 02:20

Why stop there...?

They should've been 18-rated and had Jessie playing with her clit.

No doubt a "home video" will appear at some point featuring Alba.

Having seen her acting, I'm guessing that will be the only way she'll ever be in a blockbuster.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 26 Oct 2007, 04:14

Alba was decent in Dark Angel but otherwise her looks are her only redeeming factor. It looks like she's playing the lead in the USA "The Eye" remake, because that's wanted isn't it

Ah well... I rather have mediocre actresses star in easy remakes that I'm not interested in seeing anyway, instead of them being cast in GOOD/GREAT movie, and ruining the whole thing with their mediocre performances...

Too true.

Spriggan - 2.5/5
Basically the animated equivalent of a Bruckheimer-esque big summer blockbuster. No plot, no characterisation. The only the thing to commend this film on are its production values, which are top notch; also it's never boring.

The Peter Serafinowicz Show ***/*****

Starting to wear a bit thin now, but I love the "Michael-6: Robot Talk Show" and "Brian Butterfield" sketches

:thumbleft:

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 26 Oct 2007, 15:31

Isn't it still in it's first series? A bit thin isn't a good sign so early on.

District 13 5/5
French people are cool.

Daredevil Director's Cut 4.5/5
Completely different movie to the TC.

You Kill Me 2.5/5
Watchable but not as clever as it thinks it is.

Yeah this is the first series, don't know if there will be a second series. Problem is, it becomes predictable and you know what is going to happen, it is good fun though

The Peter Serafinowicz Show -426,000/5

Holy Christ, I saw this last night and it was the biggest pile of cat shit I have ever seen. I didn't laugh once... who on earth commissed a sketch show from this no-talent??? I've seen better on BBC3(!)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 26 Oct 2007, 17:09

It's fun, silly but too predictable now to be fair - once you've seen one skit parodying entertainment news channels you've seen them all...
You ever seen Look Around You? I believe he was a writer on that show.
Hadn't you seen any episodes of The Peter Serafinowicz Show before?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 26 Oct 2007, 19:21

Scarecrows 3/5

Decent little 80's horror finally given a barebones release in unrated form from mgm. the anamorphic transfer is excellent a huge step up from the old Medusa VHS from years back.

Dragon Squad 2/5

Another in a long line of identikit hk actioners,instantly forgettable.I see Bey bagged himself a cameo. Sammo is looking old,sadly

Transformers hd-dvd 3/5

The movie isn't all that good but wow watching this on HD is an awesome audio-visual experience.a stellar transfer,the movie is 25 minutes too long but the last 40 minutes is exciting stuff.

Nope. And I never will again. I desperately want that 29 mins of my life back.

Absolutely diabolical.

BTW. Is his Ralph Fiennes impersonation (and I use that term loosely) supposed to come off like Leonard Rossiter? Because it sure as hell ain't nothin' like Rafe.

LOLA RENNT 2/5

Idiosyncratic German thriller plays more like an expanded student project than a real movie. Franka Potente runs better than anyone I've ever seen, but by the time the film was over I found myself wondering what all the fuss was about? The hyper-stylishness is a calling card for talent, but next time they might try including a well-thought-out story and characters. And that endless techno music wore out my poor ear drums....

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Oct 2007, 02:23

Crikey Mark you're hard on Run Lola Run (what's with the German name?). I thought it was ace and for once didn't outstay it's welcome.

I think you've missed the point. It's the same story told from three different angles and as such three different endings. To add extra story and characters would've missed the point, as would adding extra padding to merely increase the films running time.

The techno music added to the frantic pace, which is the point. Lola has no time to help out Manne.

I'd give it a good 7 out of 10.

That's what I thought as well, the Acting Masterclass skits are weak (though he did a brilliant Michael Caine). They got old quickly.

The Armstrong and Miller Show: 3.5/5

Patchy, but some skits were very funny, there was a brilliant parody of BBC show "Who Do You Think You Are?", and I enjoyed the skit with the WWII pilots who spoke in 21st century slang ("Jumbo Wilkins got shot down, yeah, and it was like, really bad because he died and everything"), and the sketch where a horrid Gordon Ramsay type finally got his comeuppance.
