Movie Review/Discussion

Hill Have Eyes 2: Crap - don't even waste your life finding showing times for it. Nothing like the first one and really low budget.

Smokin Aces: Sort of never starts off well, and then ends. Probably worth watching but I wouldn't go the cinema for it. Just a £3 copy dvd off Mr DVD Man down the road would suffice.

There's a couple i've seen lately.

Mr Beans Holiday - very poor although the kids laughed (which was nice).
TMNT - Fantastic update of this classic, much better being CGi as no actors in rubber suits to spoil it. Kids really loved this one.
Meet The Robinsons - great story, very funny and superbly done. Your kids will love you forever.

Although all these seem kid related I though all you proud parents may like a heads up on what will earn you the adoration of your children.

On a more grown up front Pan's Labyrinth is quite possibly one of the best films I've seen in a while. It's sad, beautiful, happy, superbly shot and is very character driven so you really feel for what's going on on screen. Well worth a rental/purchase.

I like it, it's like bribing the kids into happiness

GHOST RIDER

Definitely not the greatest film made, in fact doesn't even rank high with other comic book conversions to the big screen. There is no in-depth storyline to it (as you'd expect) and the acting is average. However the special effects are pretty impressive and if your just looking for something to sit and watch without having to think about it then this might be for you. Not my cup of tea though.

DEJA VU


All round good film. Good performance from Denzel Washington (how much weight has Val Kilmer put on mg_smile as to be expected. Bit of a cross between Enemy Of The State and Minority Report, so if you liked these films odds on you'll like this one.

Yeah typical Adam Sandler film m8, but still quite enjoyable, if you like his comedy that is.

what time u finish work then varley?

 

[Varley]

4:30 pm Don't tile during the week though, haven't taken the plunge into full time self-employment yet. Trying to build up a reputation and a good portfolio, Killing me working 7 days a week but i absolutely love tiling and it's definitely what i want to do. It's also great to be part of such a great forum with people prepared to share their knowledge and experience with people like myself who are just starting out and there are a lot of knowlegeable tilers on this forum giving excellent advice, and i'm soaking it all up like a big fat sponge

 

[wivers]

What about the un tile related perversion are you soaking that up too

 

[Varley]

Oh yes and there's plenty of it on here
