 Posted: 20:03 - 28 Aug 2009 Post subject: Movie recommendations (again) |
 |
|
Latest film i've watched is Taken. Thought it was a brilliant action/thriller with Neeson doing a very good job. Unrealistic yes, but didn't stop me enjoying it. Definitely worth a watch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/
Apart from this i haven't watched a decent film in ages.
Feel free to post up some new(ish) movies that are worth the watch.

Taken was great I enjoyed it aswell, I think it has around 500 4 and 5 star reviews on play.com...says alot really.
Juno is an absolute stonker of a movie, didn't expect it to be so good. ____________________ 2012 KTM EXC 250

Watched a few recent films lately.. "sparks movies in a nutshell" reviews
Knowing
Nick Cage latest film, it's not bad, a bit unbelievable but quite entertaining and worth watching.
Adventureland
Quite liked this, typical "superbad" style film, not as good/funny as superbad etc but if you like superbad you'll probably like this. Worth watching, not amazing.
Crank 2 High Voltage
Quality deliberately unbelievable, it works... Jason Statham rocks! Don't expect a realistic action film, just expect fun, laughs and stupidness. Definetly one to watch especially if you're a Statham fan.
I Love You Man
Really liked this film, very funny at times. Bit like "knocked up" style of film, quite entertaining and lots of "laugh out loud" moments. Well worth watching!
At the cinema..
Inglorius Basterds
Quality film! Bit slow at the start but when you look back over it you realise it was actually really good. Some funny moments too, good storyline and acting. Bit gory at times too. Quite long but it keeps interesting throughout, if a tad slow at times. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

Gran Torino is suprisingly good, it's kinda weird and the storyline is mildly pointless but it strangely draws you in and is definetly a good film to watch. "Get off my lawn!" ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

I thought "I love you man" was shit. It was slow and boring and I had 3 other people watching it with me who thought the same, one fell asleep. I painfully watched that to the end.
I got transporter 3 out last night as they where out of crank 2. Jason Statham I wanted him to do dirty things to me in that car.
Sorry forgot myself there.
I am getting crank 2 tonight I hope. ____________________ All the breast.

Some good films mentioned there guys...Juno is a well put together piece of film, i likey.
500 days of summer is meant to be good, my missus went to see it.
If you like the guy from 3rd rock from the sun 'Joseph Gordon-Levitt' you'll like 'Brick', its a slick bit of cinema....film nior style and pretty flawless.

Another vote for the wrestler, one of the best films ive seen in 2009.
If you want to get some Swayze in your life watch 'Point break' cult classsic with Keano reaves.
I admit, i watch Dirty Dancing the other night on 5 and enjoyed it.
If you want something serious, compelling and raw get 'monster' with Charlize Theron. Just, wow.  ____________________ Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Just got a big torrent list off this thread
Films I have seen
21 - blackjack film
Adventureland - superbad style but not funny so it didn't work imo
District 9 - Kick ass
Knowing - Good films. Nicholas Cage is good. I always think his films will be awful but I rather enjoy them.
Observe and Report - Ok but not that good. I certainly wouldn't pay for it.
Mall Cop - Just like observe and report but a bit funnier.
Pineapple express - If you haven't seen this yet SEE IT! The best comedy for a long time.
Run fat boy run - Hardcore fan of Simon Pegg so this was a good film.
Slumdog Millionaire - good evening film, not a late night jobby
If you want films that are not particularly new check my new thread. |

I too liked Juno, very good. I also like the Transporter fims, but actually for the action...rather than Jason Statham, although I do think he's fit and good to look at, and would happily watch lots of films with him in.
I too like Point Break, Killa (one of my fave most watched DVD's, though I do not/did not fancy Swayze, bit old for my taste).
I will also be watching the next Final Destination, all the others were extremely good...which surprises me, as lots of sequels I find disappointing. ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |
