i wasn't sure of what to expect, but it did surpass all the hype you have been heaping on it here.

Perhaps only the second film ive ever watched to be better than its hype after Donnie.

Watched Slither...absolutely rubbish, worst film ever, no one watch it, nowhere near shawn of the dead, no humour at all, just the same thing over and over again, what a load of ********.

Luckily i didnt pay :D ...ah the benefits on a wednesday being on orange ;-)

[z10]

yep, always watch a film i recommend :D

[HAFRIDI]

Dam really? i heard its good, my mate said we should have watched that instead of slither, u could hear people screaming next door where the film was being shown :13:

[octavian]

haf, the movie starts off rather well and had its scary ( well i wasn't really scared) moments.

but half way into the movie and the the director loses it completely. extremely dissappointing

[HAFRIDI]

Hmm, i'll still download it, for the curiousity

[z10]

[Geordie Ahmed]

:))

is all this love for kill bill cuz of uma thurman? :31: :31:

Nope BUT she is not :31: i think she is :19:

I thought Kill Bill was just quality - only Tarantino could do something like that, he is an absolute nutjob BUT makes good films

[z10]

GA, have you seen from dusk till dawn?

a tarantino film that was quality.

[Geordie Ahmed]

its been ages since i saw it BUT it was a quality film - the mistake ppl make when watching a Tarantino film is that they expect "normal" when Tarantino provides anything but

[sneekysneeky]

Nope BUT she is not :31: i think she is :19:

[sneekysneeky]

[z10]

watched Kill Bill 2

good film

[nafajafam]

watched mi3 and wasn't impressed.

[entralinks]

Kill Bill Vol. 1 was an awesome awesome film. Vol. 2 just didn't have that thing, not much fun.

[z10]

Vol 2 was good i think. Was as unexpected as the first one.

The character of Bill is amazing

[Bitman]

Kill Bill 1 AND 2 are both excellent movies.

[UJ]

watched mi3 and wasn't impressed.

Nothing beats the first MI

[Schiller]

so any detailed reviews on mig3?

looking fwd to poc

[Big Mac]

Mi3 wasn't bad, better than the piece of crap that was the second film anyway.

[Schiller]

seen 'the promise' bm?

[Raz]

Mi3 wasn't bad, better than the piece of crap that was the second film anyway.

I thought the 2nd film was really good

[Big Mac]

seen 'the promise' bm?

The Chinese film? Afraid I haven't seen it. Don't go to the cinema or watch new films that much nowadays, I've got too many DVD's sitting unopened at home that I have yet to watch :(

[Schiller]

ive heard good reviews about that chinese film waisay.

one i watched recently and recommend is "Thank you for Smoking"

really liked it

[octavian]

anyoine watched the sentinal ? any details reviews of MI 3 ?

[zushy_786]

anyoine watched the sentinal ? any details reviews of MI 3 ?

I've not read many favourable reviews of the Sentinal....Regarding MI3, overall the reviews have been positive, but it didn't take in better box office numbers during opening weekend than MI2.....

[octavian]

i didnt like MI 2 that much, MI was better

[MIG]

MI3 was awesome - very well done - highly recommend it

[zushy_786]

MI3 was awesome - very well done - highly recommend it

I want my money back from you if I don't like it :P

[entralinks]

MI3 Xvid torrent, interesting. Downloading...

[HAFRIDI]

I downloaded mi3 last night, looks OK quality, aint seen it yet.

[z10]

looking forward to xmen 3

[Officer Barbrady]

Saw Mi3, is alright. Get what you expect I guess.

[sneekysneeky]

just came back from mi3... it was ok... getting a bit boring now...

btw that xmen 3 trailer looked great... cant wait...

[nafajafam]

xmen 3 has more characters and seems like even better action. didnt like 2 as much, apart from the opening scene. should read a little history on the main characters, makes it even more enjoyable.

[nafajafam]

pirates of carribean should be good.

[Officer Barbrady]

Superman returns is out next month.

Not too sure about man but Lex Luther really looks the part. (it's Kevin Spacey, what do you expect?)

[Schiller]

the movie 10.

[z10]

marooned: seeing as you liked green street, you will also like the film football factory.

Similar film.

[nafajafam]

any foreign films anyone would recommend?

[z10]

house of flying daggers, nafa

also, all bruce lee films

[Schiller]

i liked hidden crouch myself.
also amelie is a good french one they say

[nafajafam]

house of flying daggers, nafa

also, all bruce lee films

seen all bruce less movies.
house of flying daggers was really good as well. eastern movies are really good. have wonderful action and a certain 'drama' to it as well

[nafajafam]

i liked hidden crouch myself.
also amelie is a good french one they say

amelie is really good. would recommend it.

btw, anyone seen romance? french movie if i can remember. really hyped up, but wasn't all that. or maybe i wasnt the right age.

[Schiller]

i saw totay of it, if that counts?

later saw the movie - boring.

[nafajafam]

i saw totay of it, if that counts?

later saw the movie - boring.

good, so it was crappy. even totay are better.

[nafajafam]

'no man's land' is a pretty good movie. about bosnian and serbs i believe.

[z10]

also 'hero' is a good film

i watched both the english subbed version and the chinese version with subtitles

chinese version is better

[HAFRIDI]

Ong bak is pretty good

[nafajafam]

Ong Bak and Hero are both good. i liked Hero better because of the story.

Fight scenes in Ong Bak were great though. If you take out the action, its a hindi movie.

[z10]

hero has quite the story waisay

[nafajafam]

majority of these chinese movies have an aura about the characters and the story.

[Schiller]

some italian movies are good, specially those with Monica Bellucci (Hitman will know this one)

[nafajafam]

would you recommend any, or should i just pick the one with monica in them? nevertheless she is a good reason to watch a movie.

for those who havent seen 'no man's land', it's great.

[Schiller]

monica is a reason unto herself and what a self that her has

[nafajafam]

btw, did u get to watch mi3? the only good movie i have seen this year was V

[Schiller]

will be on saturday, now V i liked and Thank you for Smoking, good stuff, also Producers.

[nafajafam]

if that mask wasnt ridiculous, i would wear it everywhere.

havent seen thankyou for not smoking yet. this weekend perhaps.

[Schiller]

if it wasn't unacceptable, id hold a girl like natalie hostage
you and your damn mask fetishes

[nafajafam]

marooned posted that whole opening speech by V, brilliant it is. I don't know anyone better than hugo for that role. dr lector perhaps, but he is old.

[Schiller]

dr.lector and colonel slade

[Schiller]

nadeem's movies were good

[nafajafam]

dr.lector and colonel slade

col. slade maybe. he was more raspy than smooth.
always enjoy scent of a woman. hoohaa.

[nafajafam]

yu're a sick individual, nafajafi, thokathaki

embrace every temptation commay. ;)

[Schiller]

col. slade maybe. he was more raspy than smooth.
always enjoy scent of a woman. hoohaa.

he could be smooth, godfather part 2 ;)
Whoa!!!

[Schiller]

so embrace every temptation?

[nafajafam]

al pacino is making horrible movies nowadays.

[nafajafam]

he could be smooth, godfather part 2 ;)
Whoa!!!

perhaps.

[z10]

wise move nafa

[nafajafam]

no one has recommended any old pakistani movies yet.

[Big Mac]

Was watching My Cousin Vinny on DVD earlier, such a brilliant film :11:

[nafajafam]

One of the better movies by Joe Pesci.

watched 'the new world', horrible.

[nafajafam]

'Maula Jatt' for those who haven't gotten a taste for punjabi movies yet.

[Toony™®]

I'm going on Friday when it opens here.....

[zushy_786]

I thought Sir Ian McKellan was miscast in the role for Teabing, as the character in book is the total opposite fo Mckellan's physique but I guess the critics are saying that he was the saving grace of the film......Interesting hairstyle that Hanks has......

Have you read the book ?

[Officer Barbrady]

should be watching The Da Vinci Code on Saturday - better be good

The reviews are, in a word, horrible. Beware.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Have you read the book ?

yeah tho i knew he was Teabing before i read the book so when i was reading the book i saw Ian McKellan so maybe thats why i thought he was cast well

[Daoud]

I wasnt sure McKellen was the right choice for Teabing for the reasons that zushy made

[Geordie Ahmed]

I wasnt sure McKellen was the right choice for Teabing for the reasons that zushy made

physique being a reason? :20: :20:

Could have sworn Teabing wasnt described as a 20 stoner or something - he was an old enlishman which Ian McKellan is and can protray well

[Daoud]

He was described as short and tubby. McKellen isnt really that. I dont have any objections, just not someone who came to mind. The other characters were well cast though

[MecnunK]

watched kingdom of heaven last night. Wasnt impressed. Shouldnt have been Orlando, maybe Crowe and more focus should have been on religion v religion rather than ecenomics.

[z10]

i thought salahuddin was displayed accurately

[MecnunK]

For all of the 7 seconds screen time he had you are probably right ;)

[z10]

its a hollywood film, 7 seconds should be celebrated ;)

[MecnunK]

Celebrate away by all means but dont be disappointed if I dont jump to join the revelries ;)

[z10]

your expectations of hollywood are too lofty mian ;)

[zushy_786]

He was described as short and tubby. McKellen isnt really that. I dont have any objections, just not someone who came to mind. The other characters were well cast though

I agree, I thought McKellan maybe a miscast but his acting abilities may make up for it.....

[Big Mac]

Don't push it with the links son...

[MIG]

I think he just did...

[Big Mac]

Great, now I look like a maniac

[Big Mac]

Well...even more of a maniac than usual

[Daoud]

Well I just came back from da Vinci Code.

I havent read the critics reports but it appears that they were right in whatever criticisms they had.

The start was very rushed - absolutely wizzed through it without any of the character development or their emotions. Then the middle came along and was very dull - I struggled to keep myself awake at parts. The bit after they went to Roselyn in Scotland had a few changes but I dont think it made it any better.
All in all, the book was far better (which was expected)

On the other hand, the X3 trailor really looked good and thats something I am looking forward too

[UJ]

Daoud, I was actually going to go last night and watch it myself but decided not to at the last moment.

From what I have heard though, it doesn't live up to expectations at all

[Daoud]

You did the right thing.

[zushy_786]

Just got back from watching Davinci Code with my sister......I concur with Daoud's comments completely......The beginning was absolutely rushed, with few changes from the novel which made it even more frustrating to watch, the middle was a bore, and don't know why director felt he had to change aspect of some of the symbolism and the pace of the novel, and frankly the changes were more confusing then moving the story along......The ending with a few changes, didn't add anything to it......Overall, I thought the characters were underdeveloped due to the inital frustrating rapid pace, performances of character playing Sophie were wooden as well as Police Inspector......The only saving grace was Hanks pedantic acting and Sir Ian McKellan's humour....The book delivered a intricate mystery, complete with breataking escapes, breakneck pace, and stunning surprises.....The movie however was a colossal disappointment.......

My sister and I came to same conclusion - Give it 2.5 Digestable Parathas out of 5...

[octavian]

watched mi 3 last night. an OK movie. Not too bad neither very good.

I hate this trend of romanticising of action films that has started in hollywood movies lately. Action movies turn into chick flicks for some time. i hate that

Yeah, McKellan's humour was really the only thing that made the movie somewhat redeemable. In the book a lot of the decisions they made had some degree of reasoning. Here it was like they were all pulling things out of their ****s

[z10]

grandma's boy - hilarious comedy

only to be watched if you're high

[Geordie Ahmed]

i saw The DaVinci Code earlier and i agree with Daoud and Zushy that it was dissapointing (if you read the book that is) BUT it is understandable to an extent cos its so hard to put all that information into 2 and half hours, a couple of the people who went with us hadnt read the book and they thought it was good

[zushy_786]

Well Ron Howard (Director) could have done a much better job in presenting the book in better narrative fashion....I beleive if the movie was executed better, and ran up to 3 - 3.5 hrs long, people wouldn't have minded as long as the story was exciting.....

I dont enjoy films that much when i have read the book

Perhaps he could have done a better job BUT he knew ppl were gonna flock to the cinema regardless of what the film is like

[zushy_786]

Yes i know - i dont know what i was thinking :9: :9:

[HAFRIDI]

Looking forward to Gridiron gang starring Xzibit and The Rock Dwayne Johnson, also that see no evil looks pretty good starring Kane!

[Daoud]

I had read LOTR and loved those movies - even if the last one was well over 3 hours long. Da Vinci Code certainly could have done with a bit more character development at the start which would have meant they could have sped up the middle a bit

[Geordie Ahmed]

I saw the trailer for Superman and that looked quality

James Bond looked rubbish aside from the odd moment :D

[MIG]

I hate it when they show most of the movie or good parts in the trailer !

[Geordie Ahmed]

I hate it when they show most of the movie or good parts in the trailer !

well thats the only way to make the trailer look good

[cavin420]

watched the DEvinCI code.........................

hmmm first hour and 45 minutes were brilliant then the last 45 minutes were crap...........6 out of 10 i give...............guess it more hyped up.........

[Easa]

Best Movie I've seen at the cinema this year. Well considering the last 4 movies I've seen are Da Vinci Code, Scary Movie 4, Ice Age 2 and American Dreamz, its not too hard to exceed them

[Easa]

Thanks guys, and Cindy.

I'm going tomorrow.

[Kashif]

How was V for Vendetta guys?

I might go watch it.

Excellant film....seen a good film after a long time. Good timing of the film especially in light of the currently hyped global state of fear.

[Jimmy two-times]

I saw de niro classic 'one upon a time in america' again, brilliant film recommend it to anyone who is yet to see it.

going to m:I3 tommorrow.

[Rob H]

Watched the Da Vinci code (twice) and i must say it lives up to the critics views. It was very boring in places and it had some unecessory changes made from the book. I like McKellan was good in Teabings role and Bettany did a good job of Silas but apart from that the acting was a bit lackluster. The ending was a bit of a bore. No real drama in it. All it was, was just Langdon telling Sophie the secret (not to ruin it for those who haven't read the book or seen it yet) and that was it. Overall it was ok but not an epic.

p.s did anybody notice that Silas' eyes were a light blue colour?

[Daoud]

Got my tickets to X3, should be seeing it later tonight. Will tell you guys if its worth it or not

[Oxy]

I want to watch a new film, 'Once in a Lifetime' - its a film documenting the New York Cosmos (the football team set up in the 1970s in the US Major Soccer League).

Heard good reviews - Its similar to 'When we were Kings' - based on the Ali v Foreman 'Rumble in the Jungle' Zaire 1974 which won an Oscar.

http://www.futuremovies.co.uk/review.asp?ID=499

Once In A Lifetime Movie Review

I don’t know about you, but the United States of America is not normally a country I associate with the beautiful game. Growing up in the 70s, us kids were briefly crazy about the Harlem Globetrotters, who were a five minute wonder with their own animated tv show. But while we were falling for the charms of basketball, America was indulging in a love affair of its own, with the game they call soccer.

It all began with a man called Steve Ross, who ran Warner Communications. Ross was the Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch of his day, a player who owned record companies and film studios and decided one day in 1971, as you do if you’re a millionaire, that he wanted to buy a soccer team. His eye fell on a team of amateurs called the New York Cosmos who were, frankly, pretty poor by any standards, but he bought them anyway. When they rather dismally failed to set the world on fire, Ross decided that he could buy in talent, and set his eyes on the best. In rapid succession he recruited Pele (a massive coup), the Italian striker Giorgio Canaglia, and German captain Franz Beckenbauer with the lure of lucrative contracts.

With their stars firmly in place, the Cosmos set out to conquer the world. They toured Europe and swiftly built a fanbase that included film stars, rock stars and politicians. Henry Kissinger was instrumental in helping Ross secure Pele’s services. Pele, as a living legend and ambassador for the game, was a key element of the Cosmos’ success, though he was past his prime. The film underlines Pele’s cultural importance when we see him mobbed at, of all things, a baseball game; he also seemed like a lot of fun. These star footballers really were the precursors of today’s stars, living the life of Riley (who was this lucky person, anyway?) hanging out with celebs, drinking and (probably) drugging and partying at Studio 54. Being with the Cosmos was enough to get you past the doorman at Manhattan’s finest clubs.

Other US teams sat up and took notice and other North American Soccer League franchises began to import talent including, briefly, George Best who played for the Los Angeles Aztecs, Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Rodney Marsh, who tells the story of how they sabotaged Pele and Canaglia’s game by having their flight met by a limo, some blondes, and a bottle or two of Chivas Regal (ah, the seventies. I expect they were all reading Wilbur Smith novels on the plane too). With the Cosmos playing to capacity stadium crowds, Ross knew it was time for the next phase – TV.

I wouldn’t have expected to enjoy a documentary about a 1970’s American soccer team but Once In A Lifetime proves once again that documentaries seem to have the best stories and this is a corker. The biggest ego of all probably belonged to Steve Ross, but as he’s no longer with us his shoes are ably filled by Canaglia. In the 1970’s Giorgio Canaglia was tall and gorgeous; the intervening years have not been kind, but the confidence that made him a sporting hero is still there; if anything he’s more cocky and belligerent than ever. Archive footage of his rivalry with Pele is priceless.

Not just a film for football fans, Once In A Lifetime deserves to do very well at the box office. Its worth the price of admission just to see the nude shots of goalie Shep Messing (the man has nothing to be ashamed of). And did you know the US beat England at football in the 1950 World Cup? Shocking!

[zushy_786]

Got my tickets to X3, should be seeing it later tonight. Will tell you guys if its worth it or not

Looking forward to it, lets hope it's better than the debacle X2.....

[Daoud]

Just came back from X-men 3. Definetely worth watching.

The movie had quite a few surprises, but I wont ruin it for anyone. Quite a few things happen that you wouldnt have expected. The movie could have been longer, but it worked well at its current length. The main characters that were introduced were Juggernaught and Beast. Both Vinnie Jones and Kelsey Grammer did a solid job with their character. I knew Jones was a great choice for Juggernaught but was a bit apprehensive about "Dr Crane" playing Beast, but that worked better than expected. There was a step up for Storm - Halle Berry said she wasnt going to reprise her role unless she becomes more powerful, like she is in the comics, and that certainly happened. She did get the stuffing knocked out of her by Callisto in one scene but was among the most dominant characters.

The two best performances were by Hugh Jackman, and as expected Ian McKellen. Wolverine had a far more proactive role in this movie, and seeing the "fastball special" move introduced with the help of Collosus was pretty enjoyable. For those that are unfamiliar, basically what happens is he gets picked up by Collosus and launched at the enemy - it worked very well against the Sentinal during the Danger Room training.

The final battle scene was quality. The Brotherhood vastly outnumbered the X-men who were forced to align with the military, and despite using plastic guns, their weapons were still rendered useless. The X-men looked to have been vastly overpowered in terms of mutant abilities as on one hand you had Magneto, Pyro and Juggernaught, all of who are capable of immense damage, and on the other you had Shadowcat, whos ability is to go intangible. But Kitty did have a pretty important role to play, and there was a pretty humourous exchange between her and Juggernaught. As expected though, it was down to Wolverine to save the day due to his regeneration ability.

Just a word of advice for those of you who go to watch it or download it or however you chose to see it. After the ending credits theres a very short exchange which involved one of the major characters. You may or may not find it worthwhile to see it, but thats just a heads up from me. As for the movie though, definetely one of the better ones I've seen this year

[Big Mac]

Just got back from X-Men 3, had some good bits but wasn't too impressed overall. There's been very little character development across the trilogy of films for people who are supposed t be quite important members of the team. So much time is spent pushing Wolverine into the limelight as the hero that they just ignored everybody else, they just make up some superfluous plotlines to pay lip service to some characters. That whole thing with Rogue, the kid with the ice powers and all that was pointless, Cyclops continues to be a waste of time etc.

Had some good ideas though, I didn't see a couple of the things coming.

[Big Mac]

Oh and yeah, like Daoud said you should stay till the very end of the credits.

I suppose that Iceman/Rogue/Shadowcat love triangle was pretty stupid, but its somewhat true to the comics (at least Ultimate X-men).
Collosus really should have a Russian accent but I suppose hes taken more seriously this way. Cyclops role wasnt too superfluous here though although he really was wasted. Other than that, the film wasnt bad.

[Officer Barbrady]

I saw X-2 recently and thought it was really good. The scene with the night crawler at the start was brilliantly done. And overall it was a solid, enjoyable ride.

I wouldn't expect as much from X-3 simply because there's no Bryan Singer involved. The one man that might just make Superman work.

One of the few occassions where the sequel is better than the original.

I too thought 2 was better than 1. So was 3 for that matter

Really, that's interesting.......I didn't like X2 too much, I thought it was a bad sequel to the exciting start of X-men.....Looking forward to X3, maybe I'll check it out now from the reviews you and Daoud had given......

[Daoud]

I read that Singer plans to make an Ultimate X-men movie. Interesting to see if they will restart the franchise again so soon after this trilogy or they will continue this one.
Certainly in the Ultimate comic books, there is a lot of emphasis on Jean Gray, whos probably the most important character that that series. While in the movies, her character development was pretty low in the whole trilogy. There she did come across as one of the more likeable characters although the same cant be said in the movies. Cyclops though was even more of a dud, while there some explanation is given to why he is the way he is

Saw MI3 today, you have got to watch it, a good film.

Cinema experience, it was great.

[nafajafam]

[entralinks]

I said film was good and cinema experience was great. Plenty of action, non-stop. Good stunts and sound effects.

[nafajafam]

[entralinks]

I want to yes, again in the cinema, hopefully. But Superman Returns is the thing.

[nafajafam]

yar am not crazed over superman. the bat has my preference there.

[entralinks]

Same here to be honest but that scene of airplane crashing has got me tongue out.

[Oxy]

Why is it students pay less to go to the cinema? Most work - get paid - dont pay taxes!!! I cant afford to go to the cinema! Why should you???

your opinion will change when you start paying it back...

[Geordie Ahmed]

your opinion will change when you start paying it back...

nah not really - the repayment plans for student loans are brilliant

You only start repaying when you earn i think its 15k and even then its something like £20 a month - its practically nowt :19:

easier payments... lucky ba*****

whats the interest rate?

[Geordie Ahmed]

easier payments... lucky ba*****

whats the interest rate?

its linked to the rate of inflation (3.2% at the moment) so you more or less pay back what you borrowed

The repayments are 9% of what you earn above 15K - so say i i earn 16K, it is 9% of 1K that i pay back for the year - piece of cake :)

you guys have it easy...

[TAHIR]

you guys have it easy...

And you dont?

[sneekysneeky]

And you dont?
well the rate is close to 5% i think... and there is no 15K earning prerequisite... nor a 9% limit...

on mirc its the TMD team who release the DVD RIPS what happens is that they get RIPS on the normal size which is 700mb (atleast) compress them using their own set of softwares put tags on em and make em ready for download. usually they are a tad late compared to torrents because of all the hard work they have to do.
