Adding it to my Netflix queue...

If you haven't seen them then I'd also recommend The Pawnbroker and the Anderson Tapes.

Those two movies prove that Lumet could direct with great aplomb any kind of film and of any kind of genre.

The one I've always wanted to see though is Child's Play (1972).

Captain America: Complete claptrap nonsense. Worst "super" hero ever. His shield was more important than his "powers" which are just being buff.

'Arry Twatter and the some shit of something or other. Not too terrible but meh. I really can't enjoy anything with a wizard in it, it is just too lame. I will admit though there were a couple of moments where I thought that I wouldn't have minded if I had bothered to watch the other films.

The Ring (US) - Not the Japanese one but still reasonably ok. This scared the shit out of me back in the day.

"That's it? They see her climb out of the well and they die somehow? I can't see where this could possibly be going"

"Oh, look. She is walking towards the camera, sooooo scary"

"Wait a minute, oh god! Oh god! NOOOOOOOOOOO."

I should mention that little girls in films scare the shit out of me, probably started with The Shining

Green Zone - a newer version of 'clear and present danger'.
i dozed off during an action sequence.
i preferred 'body of lies'.
6/10.
*sigh*

next PoS!

It's on C4 right this minute.

Captain Ameirca...went to see it because some friend here in Hanoi were going, sounded like fun....no. Admittedly there were some pretty cool scenes in it from time to time, but the whole thing was just a series of 'wtf' moments, woefully dismal attempt at a love story, cheesy to the point of nausea, plot was non-existant, tommy lee jones should have been given more screen time, just cus he's a legend. Never read a comic book in my life but that didn stop me enjoying things like Spiderman and Superman and the batman movies. This was just a guy on steroids throwing his dam shield at everything that was German.

Errmm...4/10

Hahaha! Made me to roll as a doll !

Get Carter (1971)

My favourite British film of all time. Michael Caine at his very best.

Mild spoiler below.

10/10

You sir are insane. Captain America was great! Much better than Spider-Man and Superman.

A 4/10? I wouldn't even give such a low score to the godawful, truly plotless Transformers 3.

[AUTOTHRILL]

Just saw 'Limitless' I'd give an 8.5 out of 10, I really liked it

[Jonny Gee]

The Ward - Seen so many horror flicks lately and this doesn't stand out but it wasn't crap either. On first reading about the storyline it seemed quite good but having watched it I just felt like it could have been better. Worth a watch though. 6.5/10

Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - Not a patch on the original and Robert Englund is Freddie Krueger! 4/10

Hollow Man 2 - Loved the 1st one but I couldn't get into this one and gave up about 25 minutes before the end. 2/10

[Stefan88]

Horrible Bosses

It had some funny one liners but I mainly went to see it so I could see Jennifer Aniston dressed in lingerie sucking a banana.

Why Brad Pitt dumped her and shacked up with Slug Lips is beyond me. She's a proper MILF.

8/10. My score would have been lower if it didn't have a lot of sexual innuendo in it.

The trailers and commericals for this movie are among the most annoying I have seen. I hope Kanye West gets hit by a bus for making that obnoxious shitty song 'Power'.

[Erebus555]

'Power' is a great song. Fook you.

[El Mariachi]

Cowboys and Aliens---6.5/10

Enjoyable movie but I was expecting a whole lot more from Jon Favreau after Iron Man I/II. Harrison Ford was good (he is good in most things), Daniel Craig was James Bond with a cowboy hat, and the aliens were menacing. Sam Rockwell was pretty good too and Olivia Wilde was hot. The story was a bit weak but the movie got better closer to the end. Great landscapes just like Brokeback Mountain. I prefer gunfights and lasers over anal sex though. Seeing Native Americans vs aliens was amusing. Lots of Western cliches in this one.

It's one of the most annoying songs I have ever heard. The Kayne West parts were ok but the parts with 'uh uh ayyyy ayyyy' make me want to go Cobain.

Quite.

The amount of times people on this thread drool over the impending release of some bit of histrionic multiplex fluff, only to be bitterly disappointed when it reveals itself as the congealed slice of dreck it really is is laughable.

Yes, through my tears, I am laughing.

Indeed, though I have to say as far as superhero movies go this one looked particularly weak in the trailers. Kind of get the feeling that they have totally ran out of comic books.

Anyone ever watch bored to death, they should definitely make Super Ray.

People want these films to be made even if they know they will be shit. We don't go to watch transformers for the character development but to see giant robots fight each other, I'd rather watch that on the big screen than an indy art film, brilliant as it may be.
