The Book of Eli
I was very curious about this movie when I had heard what it was about. I watched it at the weekend and I was not disappointed at all.
Sure, it you could spot many other movies (post-apocalyptic movies) in the story, the main storyline of the book made it unique. The visuals were stunning and Denzel had his charisma with him as always.
The twist at the end was really surprising, even though it made some scenes before a bit unbelievable.
I also loved that even it was a mainstream movie it handled faith with reverence, for a change.
Just saw it too. Did you notice that the bald bad guy was whistling "Cockeye's song" from "Once upon a time in America"? I thought that was very cool.
That said, I thought the movie was ok, but nothing special. Denzel is always a joy to watch and he carried the movie. I also like that the bad guy didn't end up dying a horrific death, which happens in 99,99% of Hollywood movies. Being alive, with a Bible he can't read, was a better punishment.

Agreed in part. The experience is a bit fragmented and not what the director wants from the audience. But it's just one step better than stopping the movie entirely and not watching the remainder.
Or, watch a better movie instead
why comment on a movie, if you haven't seen it?

I am talking generally, not for MARTYRS which i have zero interest in. My point, based on the previous discussions i was quoting, was that if a movie makes me want to stop it 1,2 or 3 times and continue viewing on another time and day, then it's probably not worth it all in all.Love Maintitles.

Righteous Kill
Mediocre. As every review noted, the only notable feature is the fact that it stars De Niro and Pacino, both of whom are fine but it's just quite dull. There were far more interesting episodes of NYPD Blue. Ed Shearmur's score is also very mediocre. -

These two should have starred together years ago and I mean way before Heat.

Shame the De Niro - Pacino coupling doesn't pay off like in Heat, which a true masterpiece IMO. I saw it again last week and I'm in awe by the impact it leaves due to the intelligent script and brilliant acting and totally mesmerised by the atmosphere Michael Mann created due to the editing, cinematography and the music. I love the soundtrack in the film, but I've never gotten around to actually getting the soundtrack album... I guess it won't do as much to me outside of the film as it does inside."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

man, why always pick on Bates? he deserves much more respect 
that's why I'm going to support him even more, he may only have one fan, but I'm sticking with him
speaking of crap, I've got a nice little score coming next week that truly defies the word CRAP

Saw on Youtube...
The Hot Chick
A combination of groan + facepalm + fun. Thanks to an ancient Egyptian curse, Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams exchange bodies.

Always entertaining no matter how many times you watch this one. The best Pixar film! -

LOL! I know. I know. But when you're bored on a lazy weekend and want to watch something before dozing off then youtube isn't a bad bet. Although I must admit that this was only my 2nd time watching it. The first time was on a lousy, paid online rental from Movielink many years ago, so it's a much improved watch.

A couple of good friends of mine are starting a comparable show in The Netherlands (or at least something very much based on it). I almost got screen-tested for it, but it fell through.
I have been invited to help write on it, but to be honest I haven't seen any of Brooker's work yet (and I have been a little too busy to get really into it).
Maybe I should give it a go one of these days?'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

This week I've been catching up on some fairly recent films:
The Hurt Locker
For a film constructed out of little more than a series of set-pieces, this truly is one stunning example of gripping and edgy cinema. Tense, thought-provoking and utterly exhausting; it may seem trite to say so, but not since the opening of Saving Private Ryan has a war movie made you feel so much a part of the battle.
4/5
Public Enemies
This superstar crime thriller emerges as something surprising, fascinating and technically dazzling. In classic Michael Mann style, its gun battles erupt with sudden, visceral force and Cotillard and Depp's impossible love story gives the film its touching, tragic heartbeat. Recommended.
4/5
Moon
For a science-fiction feature, its scale is small but its ideas - about being human - are huge. Suspenseful, intelligent, impeccably acted by Sam Rockwell and elegantly directed. Superb stuff.
4/5
