Ninty's Movie Watch Thread

[muppet42]

Just finished watching Drive Angry there, have to say it pretty much defined what I look for in an enjoyable film that doesn't tax the grey matter all that much :laugh:

Currently watching Dumb and Dumber

Bought Hugo on Bluray the other day and watched it on the weekend.

Lovely visuals but felt a bit too slow and it took too long for the story to unravel. I could imagine it being a bit of a spectacle in 3d, but in 2d, I was a tad underwhelmed.

A bit of a let down as well since it scores well on rottentomatoes.

6/10

On the other hand, I watched Lethal Weapon 2 and Demolition Man back to back on the telly last night. A couple of pieces of pure 90s gold! 8/10 for each of them!

I think we all understand the level here....

Clash of the Titans , though I prefer the original to this but it's watchable popcorn fun

I watched that recently n all (probably cos it were ont telly)

Our lass told me to shaddap cos I kept bangin' on about the differences betwen the two - but especially how Medusa was far scarier in the first one.

anyways - I'll shaddap about it now.....

I felt the same way about hugo, a bit slow and would have been nice to see some more original film footage. Also the Lethal Weapons was my favorite films as a youngster, some of the first VHS tapes i bought myself when i was 11 or 12 .

watched Prometheus yesterday. Lot's of parts left me still puzzled. Not sure It was worth the £12 to see it (posh seats).

Just finished watching Scott Pilgrim. Been meaning to watch this for a while but only just got round to putting it on. Absolutely hilarious and unsurprisingly, I loved the many videogame parallels and references.

8/10.

Witness (1985) [dir. Peter Weir]

At first I thought this would be a fairly standard corrupt cop story, but was surprised when the story switched focus to Harrison Ford's character getting integrated with the amish. Funny and pretty exciting with a good cast, although sometimes a bit cheesy. 7/10

Now I have to see Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock sometime, reading about it always reminds me of Nicolas Roeg's Walkabout, which is a movie I really like.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. Found it a bit far fetched, especially the sequences in the sand storm, but I guess that's what Mission Impossibles are all about. Follows the well tried and tested formula of 'blocks' of action scenario sequences.
Still enoyable though as a mindless bit of entertainment.

7/10

New Kids Turbo and New Kids Nitro, strange but funny films, they are Dutch, and uses a lot of the happy hardcore type music i like from the 90's, i liked them both, but thet are definitly not for everyone
