Attack the Block - Aliens invade an inner city London tower block. Absolutley loved it, a perfect throwback but completely different to the old 80's creature films. Would probably have preferred it if the main characters weren't such scallywags. 4/5

If I hear the word 'Bruv' one more time I'd top myself.

Could not stand that film, it puzzles me no end on how much I dislike it vs how much everyone raves over it.

Granted it was well made etc, but I found it boring, pretentious, overly long and ticks none of the boxes that would make it an enjoyable read!
 
I thought that The Dark Knight, was "ok". Not great. Definitely not bad.
Had they finished the movie after The Joker had been dealt with and done away with the 2-face storyline, it would've been the right time to finish the movie.

It was far too long and about 1 hour from the end, I started clock watching - not a good sign.
 
Drive Angry
A tongue-in-cheek and hugely enjoyable action blast, full of smoking-hot cars and drop-dead gorgeous women, with Nicolas Cage on top form. Milton (Cage) is a hardened - albeit dead - criminal who has so far spent his afterlife in Hell. Enraged by the murder of his daughter and the imminent sacrifice of his baby granddaughter by a brutal religious cult, Milton breaks out to stop the REAL evil-doers before they fully unleash Hell on Earth. Aided by a seriously hot and sassy waitress Piper (AMBER HEARD – All The Boys Love Mandy Lane) and driving a cherry red muscle car which Piper liberates from her meat-head ex, Milton is blazing a trail in pursuit of the brutal cult leader. But Milton's being hounded too – not only by the police but by an enigmatic character known only as The Accountant (a scene stealing WILLIAM FICHTNER from Entourage and Prison Break), who has been sent by the Devil to bring Milton back to Hell. Milton is mad, bad and Hell-bent on achieving his goal. He's breaking all the rules, but what are they gonna do – not let him back

8/10 I still this is done really well and Amber *drools*

Remember The Titans

While on the surface, American high school football may seem like an innocent game played by the young, for the young, it is, in fact, much, much more. For millions, including many fans who are well removed from their high school years but who love to sit in those creaky bleachers every Friday night or Saturday morning, it is something akin to a religion. Director Boaz Yakin's REMEMBER THE TITANS captures the heart of the sport while tackling the sins of its fathers, chronicling the true story of the undefeated 1971 T.C. Williams team of Alexandria, Virginia, which was the first integrated high school team in the state.
Denzel Washington brings his ever-powerful presence to the role of coach Herman Boone, who is brought in to oversee the transition to integration. Though Boone is eventually successful as a coach, the townspeople dissaprove of him because he replaces the popular, entrenched former coach, Bill Yoast (Will Patton). At first, coach Yoast resents being supplanted, while coach Boone is told that his promotion was just for show--to help the integration--and that he's likely to be lifted if the team loses a game. Will the coaches and players be able to overcome their adversity and make T.C. Williams a beacon for integration in sports

8/10 I was expecting this to be rubbish, not usually a fan of this soft of film. But because of the whole race thing it is very good indeed.

For me, Remember the Titans scores 9/10.
If you like Sports movies with a happy ending, you will love this. And you don't need to know a thing about American Football.

I also saw the Isle of Man TT documentary that some of you spoke of earlier in this thread. I made it through 75% of it, before turning it off - it wasn't for me.

I also saw Monsters, which was recommended earlier - I wasn't impressed.

I saw Paranormal Activity 3. If you liked the previous 2 (and you are into the no gore horror movies), then you will probably like this. I thought the first 2 were scary and the same went for no.3. I think the key thing is to watch these types of movies alone, in the dark. There is no way that I would be scared of these movies if somebody else were in the room with me or if it were in daylight. These movies rely on your own imagination and being scared of what you can't see (as opposed to being scared of things you can see, which traditional horror movies rely on).
 
Jaws has just started on ITV1. I love this film.

Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago..

You know the rest.

Classic.

Just a stupidly good action feel with that 80s feel.

What has become apparent is that a lot of people on this forum have terrible taste in film :p

Perspective, all be boring if we liked the same. I have a large range of taste but its the "rubbish" ones I watch over and over. When the darn right awesome films are more of a one off watch and once you know the storyline, that's it.

A film can be rubbish and enjoyable. A film that is enjoyable is not always a good film. There is a difference. People need to learn the difference :)
