I saw Legend of Zorro a few days back. I't was good and had several funny sections in it. But it did not impress me all that much. The whole movie felt as though it was a bit forced, like they were told to make another movie and they were making it up as they went along.

Still a good movie, but not as good as the origional (this being a sequel).

[quote:0114224a56="Bradthewonderllama"]It's interesting... That eye dealie reminds me of ThunderCats though. Good news for you though Rinso. The DVD is apparently Region free.[/quote:0114224a56]

It's a bit slow at first, but gets truely amazing later. JACK AND POT on the DVD.

I seen Thumbsucker yesterday it was a bit slow at parts but good, great soundtrack.


ps: the eye is thundercatty.

I went to see Harry Potter and the goblet of Fire this week.

I have to say it's very good- a much slicker production than the others (well the last one anyway) I think I liked this one mainly because the cynic in me didn't like HP in the last film he was just too 'good' - there were too many 'hurrah for Harry' type moments- this one had a much darker essence and the CGI underwater effects were amazing!

Highly recommended

I loved the dragon, and I thought Rita Skeeter was funny. A good show.

I watched Donnie Darko last night. Second time I've watched it, it's just as great as the first time I saw it and screwed with my mind only slightly less than then too.

Watched 'War of the Worlds' again on DVD the other night. Is till think it starts and ends far too quickly. I've also got 'Batman Forever' on DVD to watch tonight which is a film I really enjoyed.

I didn't like the very end ...spoiler[color=white:edfd44a8de]when his son sirvived dispite running into a wall of furey death[/color:edfd44a8de]...end spoiler. I thought the start bit when we first seen the tripods was amazing.

Yeah I agree with the spoiler bit definatly Rinso but I also felt it started too quick without us getting to know the characters well enough. I also thought the...spoiler[color=white:750c7c117b] bit where the plane crashed near the ex-missus house and that fella was deaf one minute until he heard the tripods scream and then suddenly he had the hearing of a field mouse was a lack of attention to detail.[/color:750c7c117b]. Apart from that it was a good film.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I saw it recently with a friend. Other than that and what Rinso pointed out, I thought it was a pretty good movie.

Unlike Star Wars III, which I saw a few weeks ago, which was crap. The special effects were good, but the storyline was just stupid.

The key plot scenes didn't make sense at all to me.

Spoilers:
[quote:766403a621][color=white:766403a621]Anakin: "No! Don't! The Jedi Code!"
*desperate action*
Sidious: "Wanna slaughter some kiddies?"
Anakin: "Meh, sure."[/color:766403a621][/quote:766403a621]

There were also really too many inconsistencies.

It didn't really rock my world at all. I though [color=white:8351274688]The jedi wiping out montage was crap. The movie was meant to be about Anikin wiping out the jedi- all we seen was him killing some kids and the clones destroyed the rest[/color:8351274688] Also the love between him and Padmy was crap and [color=white:8351274688]The reason for her dying was a load of wank- 'she's medically fine shes just lost the will to live'- what apart from just having two babies and will believing there is still 'good in him'[anikin] you mean.[/color:8351274688]

I saw Harry Potter last night. It was brilliant. Really well done. Very well adapted to the screen. Moody was brilliant. Dumbledore was surprising, much more aggressive than he is in the books, more like a real man than some kind of infallible god. Harry was great as well, his acting has really improved. The scenes in the lake and in the maze were really atmospheric.

The graveyard scene was amazing, although I did notice Wormtail didn't seem particularly bothered about losing a hand. In the book he's in severe pain, but in the film he doesn't look fussed. Voldemort's a scary looking bloke. If i was a child, this film would have scared the shit out of me.

David Tennant was great as Crouch Jr. Total psycho!

i watched Harry Potter the other day, I thought because they left so much stuff out that it didn't make much sense to the people that havn't read the books. eg. My Sister she kept asking me wats this? who's that? were'd that come from? It was major annoying..

but it was seriosly great special effects

Watched 'Saw' last night on DVD. I went to watch it in the cinema when it first came out. I didn't like it as much the second time around although it's not a bad film. I only really watched it because i'm going to see Saw 2 soon at the cinema.

Also supposed to be going to watch that Comedy with Rowan Atkinson in at some point this week.

'Keeping Mum'? I saw it last week in the cinema- it's OK I suppose I wouldn't really recommend it - I know myself and my mates didn't really laugh out loud much at any point in it. I know it's been hearalded as being like 'an ealing comedy' (In the Saturday Times review) but to me it didn't really hit the mark!

Going to try and see kiss kiss bang bang this weekend if I get a chance- however it's nearly finished, if not already ended it's cinema run- I'll have to check...

The one thing I disliked in Harry Potter was Dumbledore- he was more aggressive than in the books, but also he seemed to have no control of the situation; He seemed lost, which shouldn't be- he is the most powerful wizard in the world* aside from Voldemort, after all.
