Topic: Review a film that you think is worth watching (not one that you don't)

[ohcheap1]

could you tell me the ending?

Is that your way of saying that I said to much? I put it in "spoilers" so as to not give anything away. But if you really want to know the ending you have to watch the movie.

Moon (2009)

I enjoyed watching Moon.  Any review I write won’t be able to put across how much I liked the film.  I suggest you go watch it.  I've attempted to write about it, but it's really best you go into the cinema not knowing how much I like it.

Odeon says “If you liked ‘Transformers’ and ‘Star Trek’, you’ll love ‘Moon’”.  That may be true, but I’m pretty sure I felt my brain cells dying when watching Transformers and Star Trek was really only a little above average (*cries a little*).  A better comparison would be Silent Running and maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with it being a Duncan Jones film (Zowie Bowie!), I suppose I was expecting something really bizarre and  esoteric, but it’s really nothing like that.  A simple and easy to follow story line, with lots of atmosphere and, for the first time in lord know how long, I was completely immersed.  Except the bits with the CGI arm, and the sex scene.  Sex scenes always make me wonder what the actors are thinking while they're at it. 

The friend I went to watch it with isn’t a major fan of science-fiction, she liked Star Trek TNG and DS9, but rarely anything else.  She is into period dramas and has dragged me to some god-awful romantic comedies.  She liked this film a lot and on the bus journey home and kept on talking about how much she liked the film and wanted to understand it more (elaborating here would involve spoilers).

The following may ruin the film for you:

It is a bit predictable, but that doesn't take anything away from the film.

Watched Inglorious Bastards tonight. And the highlight of the film, by far, was Christoph Waltz's performance as Col. Hans Landa. I was not familiar with this actor at all prior to this movie as he is Austrian. But he was UNBELIEVABLE in this role.  The movie as a whole moved very slowly for me and I ended up pause/play several times before the ending. It has all the Tarentino nuances but I wouldnt watch it again. Great ending. And as you all know, that is key for me to give any sort of thumbs up to a movie. So Ill leave this one at 5.5/10

 I liked Gamer with Gerald Butler and Micheal C Hall. Who knew dexter had a body like that underneath all those clothes. I Think all the women and some men gasped in surprised, when he took off his shirt.   I like kevin bacon/beacon ? wife, but i felt like her character sounded a bit like her tv character on closer. any who some parts of the movie dragged but all in all. it was good movie, well worth seeing for 6 bucks.

A nail-biting psychological thriller, that never lets you go. Set in New York State, the story center's on juvenile murderer, Eric Poole, who at 18, is released from jail having served his sentence for the murder of a young girl. Russell Crowe plays the hard-bitten detective who put him away and who is sure that Poole is a potential serial killer who will reoffend. He makes it his mission to keep Poole under surveillance as he sets off on a seemingly innocent road trip up-state. But all is not as it seems as Poole soon finds himself on the run with a young girl who has become obsessed with him and may or may not have been witness to the first murder. [D-Man2010]

John Polsen directs this indie thriller based on the novel by Robert Cormier. Russell Crowe stars as Detective Cristofuoro, a semi-retired police officer who is trying to unravel the past to discover whether a violent teenager, Eric Poole (Jon Foster), was responsible for the murder of his family. Sophie Traub co-stars as Lori, the teenage runaway who falls under Eric's spell. [D-Man2010]

I actually liked the ending, and thought it was a decent set-up for a sequel. Out of curiosity, what didn't you like?

LOL.. that is it.. isn't it? Someone in rl has been bugging me about that ending.. they went back to it and asked me about it again the other day.. like they were missing some bigger meaning. But that really is sort of it. doh I love having someone else push a moment of profound simple clarity on you.. and the light bulb suddenly goes on

I enjoyed District 9 quite a bit all the way through.  You think they'll make a sequel?

I figured in 3 years the aliens would simply come back, pick up the refugees, then lay waste to humanity

Well, that definitely looks like what'll happen, but I'm hoping the writers/director can come up with a non-cliche continuation of the story that defies my expectation, kind of like District 9 did. And the humans had already made a new camp for the Prawns called District 10, so there's the sequel's title...

I'm rooting for that!!!

BOT:

Death Race 2000 and Death Race (2008).

Liked them both, in their own way...

 ZOMBIELAND : I went in expecting the movie to be stupid and funny and it didnt disappoint. Woody Harrelson was played his part well and the movie moved at a good pace expect for the mansion part which should have been edited shorter. There wasn't enough zombie killing and not a lot of blood either, I don't think it should have got a R rating.

Law Abiding Citizen: Good movie, I like gerald butler's acting more when hes all in shape and half naked, He was only naked and half naked for one scene of the movie .  the movie has some pretty violent/gory scenes, and it moved at a pretty good pace, I wish that
