District 9 (2009)
not bad
firstly this movie does not deserve it 9+ marks out of 10. It started off bad. it was boring, I was cringing through the whole first 35 mins. he parallels to racial apartheid aren't exactly subtle, the acting was bad too, esp the lead actor. it uses this faux documentary style that is so cliché. It was just disappointing, shame really. wait to see it on cable or DVD.
It's mainly a compost of other sci-fi movies, as old as "RoboCop," "Aliens" and "The Fly" and as recent as "Cloverfield" and "Transformers." It's a bad joke that "District 9" will be hailed for its "originality." The movie's main fun comes from wondering what coin of the pop realm Blomkamp will pluck out from his memory bank next.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
this is the worst!
well.. where do i begin.. i wasn't going to even bother commenting on it, but i hated it so much i felt i had to aid in any way in stopping people wasting their time and money on the stupid film.
Badly written.. i mean typical Hollywood sentimental script, pointless , i mean this is meant to be a action movie, but its trying to be everything! and nothing worked.. i was sitting there cringing in my seat, laughing to myself.. at least a dozen people walked out , i wish i had too.
please please please don't see this. it really should have gone straight to DVD or cable.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
Great until the last half hour
Well, I am a Coen fan for sure , and had to make sure I got to see this movie on day 1 of release. And for the the most part i was pleased, well shot, well thought out, character development was amazing, acting superb. But here were the problems.The last half hour was a disappointment and it went downhill Needed editing i.e. tommy lees scene at his friends house were not needed. By that stage in the movie why? And the end , It was a major disappointment.. Usually the coen movies stay with me for a while after. But this one just annoyed me. I know this movie should be up for Oscars. for acting/cinematography but it wont win best movie for sure.
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
wow a complete waste of time
well i saw the trailer... i thought it looked like a fun and interesting movie. But was i wrong! wow ... for a start.. the 3 main leads .. who i have liked on screen in the past..were given dreary dialogue .. The characters were all so unlikable, the story.. what story?!.. it just wasn't worth being made.. it told nothing. they had to stick a stupid funeral scene in for some visual effects OK i might be a little harsh .. it was well shot.. but thats all its got going for it.
please avoid this pretentious rubbish.. i cant believe it got so many favorable votes.
Colma: The Musical (2006)
what a great movie
well i went not knowing what this movie was about, or even 'what' Colma was! wow was i surprised, this movie was very well done for low budget. the writing witty and funny, also moving at times. The acting great, the music was real good too had me tapping my feet ;o) the musical numbers were well choreographed with some great touches. I think that Mendoza did a great job and i am looking forward to more from him. i loved L.A Renigan! she rocks. Please go and support this movie it really deserves it! I gave this movie 10 out of 10.. not because it was one of the best .. but because so much effort must have gone into the making of it, on such a low budget.
Transformers (2007)
Much too long!
this started out well.. good effects.. funny...
and it kept me and my friend interested..
but .. i must add.. this was much too long.. we all got bored.. and also the silly sentimental stuff was too much.. it started to make us laugh for the wrong reasons.. t he good points.. acting was flawless.. effects.. visually very good.
i would say stay for the first half..
and you've pretty much seen the best of it.
I would wait for the DVD < i guess there will be transformers 2 and 3 and ....
United 93 (2006)
what a load of rubbish!!!
hey you guys who have commented on this movie, and given it amazing reviews on how touching and moving it was... sure... if it really happened that way!
its total rubbish.. flight 93 landed at Cleveland airport - safely- I agree what happened to the passengers is truly sad.. but also unanswered..
please watch the documentary called-- loose change-- it explains everything.. you can download it on limewire its truly amazing..
for instance.. the calls that were made by the loved ones... at 30.000 feet.. even at 5.000 feet.. cell phones wouldn't work!
