Sons of the Desert - 8/10
Doomsday - 8/10
Darkman - 7.5/10 (Bruce Campbell at the end = win, though)

[dk_xcalibur]

Hustle & Flow: 6/10

I was a little let down to be honest. I had high hopes. Good acting though.

Yeah, really good movie. I've seen it about 3 times now.

[dk_xcalibur]

I watched License to Wed last night with my wife.......not cool. This movie isn't even one of those romantic comedies that are good enough to watch.
Every actor or actress has done something better in their careers.

License to Wed: 2/10

[Shortay]

Just watched Crash.

Very good movie. It covers people's attitudes to racism in present day Los Angleles and how they act upon their prejudice.

8.5/10

[darthmix]

Watched Beowulf on DVD last week. 5/10. I think we've reached the point where that kind of photorealistic animation stops being impressive and starts just being sorta creepy. I liked what they did with Grendel but overall the characters were completely uninteresting and the action scenes felt like an exercise. Lame.

Also saw Michael Clayton. 8/10. Smart, understated, tightly-constructed legal drama. In any other year Clooney would've won the Oscar.

8.5/10

I saw that not too long ago. It was quite good in my opinion. 8/10. i saw two other films not so long ago. These are Cloverfield and Quick Change

Cloverfield is one of the most realistic Monster movies i've ever seen. It was a bit slow to get into and the ending felt a little lacking and quite sudden but otherwise a great movie. 8.5/10

Quick Change stars Bill Murray as the main character in one of his best ever performances and only film which he has been the director (although Franklin Howard was also director). It's cleverly done, it's got a good cast in there and it's really funny. 9/10

[SKTTR]

CRANK

8/10

fun hypertension action movie. go and watch it.

[dk_xcalibur]

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters: 9/10

......Billy Mitchell: 1/10


Awesome movie, but I can't stand Billy Mitchell!

[darthmix]

Indeed, King of Kong rules, whether you're a gamer or not.

[Pit 42]

Just finished For a few Dollars More - 7.5/10

I loved The Good, the Bad and the Ugly but was lukewarm on A Fistful of Dollars. FAFDM is a decent middle installment in the Dollars trilogy. It's runtime is a little long for my taste, but that's what Sergio Leone's style is all about.

[Sektor]

Disturbia:- 8/10

Good comedy

I am Legend 7/10

It's a comedy? I saw a bit of it, and it looked like a pretty tame thriller.

That's exactly was it is. There were a few amusing parts however.

Shia Lebouf can't act though, in my opinion.

I agree. He's one of the worst out there right now. Hopefully he won't totally screw Indy 4.

And unfortunately, there have been rumors that at the end of Indy 4, Harrison Ford will give his trademark hat to Shia, then Spielberg will start a new Indy trilogy with Shia as the lead.

I don't know about you, but if that happened, I'd kill myself.

I'm right there with you. An adventurer is suppose to be rugged and badass(Ford), not some babyface loser with a bad haircut(Shia).

He won't; that'll be George Lucas' job.

[Pit 42]

George Lucas has actually had little say in Indy 4, I think he was only on the set for a couple days and otherwise he has only created the story.

He wanted to shoot the movie in digital, but Spielberg overruled him and shot it in regular film. I wouldn't worry about Lucas too much.

[darthmix]

"Creating the story" seems like a pretty big role to me, and anyway producers have a lot more influence over a production than people commonly recognize. The special features for the Indy trilogy DVD suggest that Spielberg and Lucas consider eachother co-creators of the franchise, so I'm guessing Spielberg will allow a fair amount of Lucas' creative input, which of course worries me given his recent track record.

I dunno, I hope you're right, but I'm edgy. And I still think the title is really lame.

[GamingGodman]

Has anyone noticed an increased lack of originality lately? Think about it as we've more adaptations, Remakes and sequels than before in film history and half of them are rubbish. I can see why this happens but all i want is more original decent films. anyone else on the same page as me?

[darthmix]

Honestly? The last two years have been good years for movies, and I didn't notice any less originality than usual. I mean, there's a lot of derivative trash, but there's always been that. As time goes on, we remember the great films and forget the trash, so that any given year looks better as we get further away from it.

Also, we're coming up on the summer movie season, and summer has always relied heavily on sequels, adaptations of comic books, etc.

[DEMON212]

The Good, The Bad And the Ugly.

Amazing film. The only western I like. (other than Blazing Saddles, which I watched before it. 10/10 film)

Amazing story, awfully unsynced dubbing that you can have a good laugh at, great performance by Clint. Great music. Mint end.

10/10.

I've bought fewer new DVD's over the last 2 years than any other years. (When I say new, I mean new films. Because I've still been buying tons of great classics).

We have had some blinding films (Bond, 300 etc...), but they've been few and far between IMO.

This is freakin' uncanny. I just picked up this movie yesterday to watch with Mrs. Yogurt tonight. Will post my thoughts after viewing.

Not a movie per se, but I've just finished watching season 1 of Flight of the Conchords. Absolutely hilarious. It's one of my favourite short-form comedy series now. And they're actually good musicians, so that helps!

.......I like Shia. He's not going to win any awards for acting, but either has Harrison Ford.

[Pit 42]

Well, Harrison has always been in Indy movies and knows how to play the part. I'm just not sure Shia, with little acting experience of Indiana Jones caliber, can pull off his role.

I'm currently re-watching some of my favorite James Bond movies, including From Russia with Love (7.5/10) and Goldfinger (8/10).

The Goonies is Mrs. Yogurt's favourite film. If you do check out the house, be sure to take some pics!

I Am Legend: 8/10

....better then I thought it would be. I thought the story was simple but I liked it.

[coire]

Saw three movies this week:

The Warrior King:
9/10
Just like Ong-Bak, The Warrior King provides a brilliant movie experience. Tony Jaa takes out half of Austrailia with his Muai Thai fighting style, including a spectacular fight against Nathan Jones.

Reign Over Me:
7/10
Sad, extremely depressing movie. Starring Adam Sandler. It's worth watching, but only to see Sandler's good attempt at a serious role, playing an emotionally distant 9/11 widower with an infatuation for the game 'Shadow of the Collosus'.

V for Vendetta:
8/10
Good movie, quite long, fight scenes are excellent, though there aren't many of them. Popularized the 'Government should fear their people' approach, as well as those Guy Fawkes masks. Somewhat depressing, but still good. Also, you get to see Stephen Fry have the living tar beat-out of him.

I hated V for Vendetta. I gave it 5/10.

Harrison Ford was nominated for Best Actor in 1985 for Witness. He also helped the first Indy get nominated for best picture in 1981, so it's safe to say that Ford knows what he's doing, whereas Shia doesn't have a single good movie to his credit. Hopefully I won't be able to say that once May 22nd rolls around.

Bunny Lake is Missing - 8/10

[coire]

Spirited Away:
9/10
Delightful Japanese film, I won't give any plot details away, because I really think everyone should see it. Also, try to see a subtitled Japanese version instead of an English dubbed-over version, as the dub versions make subtle changes. Overall, a great movie.

[Spore]

Spirited Away is one of the only anime movies that I like. The rest annoy the hell out of me. Really, anything by Studio Ghibli is fantastic.
9/10

Edit:
1000th post.
