Rape/revenge yeah. It's actually a genre in itself.
I Spit on Your Grave: 7/10, the original. A fairly good 70's horror film. Reminiscent of Deliverance and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, although not quite as good as them, it's well worth watching. It's a pretty straightforward disturbing revenge flick.
Deliverance is an interesting twist on the theme. -

Registered 7 years agoMission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Was brainless, fun fluff. Not sure how I feel about Jeremy Renner being written is as Brandt so he can take over the series when Cruise steps down... same as in Bourne, then. Oh, and Tom Cruise is finally starting to look old. And odd.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher version).
Better made, slighty less horrible, although I prefer both leads in the original version. If you haven't seen the original, this is well worth a look. Expect to need a bath afterwards. -

Registered 2 years agoElite Squad 2 9/10 on lovefilm
Great police/crime corruption film looking at life in Brazil.
Believable story as well after I had read about investigations into certain Brazil police depts that used to kidnap high ranking drug dealers then demand a ransom from their gang to release them. Confiscating guns from one gang, selling them to another gang
Knowing that the director of this film is directing the new Robocop film, then I have high hopes for that

Not convinced at all at the beginning as major deja vu kicked in but I was won over in the end.
Would like to see more now we've got the origin story out the way.
Some of the best Spidey fights committed to celluloid. Um if they even make movies with celluloid anymore which they probably don't. Nevertheless I enjoyed it shedloads and didn't find anything in it as cringeworthy as the 3rd Raimi ones scenes.

Oh yeah Spanky is right - that was a bit pants. Two things occurred to me simultaneously 1) Why doesn't spidey hang a lift with a helicopter at this point? and 2) The yanks still really really love the sep 11 New York working man hero - see Firefighters, Police and....um....crane drivers!
I really want that to be made up. Not the bit that obviously is, but the main bit. I assume Spideys web-shhoters run out/stop working, so they have to align the cranes? It can't just be injured, that'd make no sense as if he can still swing from webs, he could do it without the cranes.
I've not seen it, though. No idea what the circumstances are, but if it's even sort of close to that it must've come off horribly.
Still it didn't ruin my enjoyment as much - it was more of a 'oh if they must' moment before getting back into it."Assimilate this!" cried Worf, firing a space bazooka at the Borg.

Maybe just the mood I was in but I really enjoyed this.
Even the crane scene didn't bother me.
Fairly solid acting throughout, no Tobey Maguire, some great action scenes, no Tobey Maguire, a bit of a darker tale than the previous remake oh & no Tobey Maguire.

I too also enjoyed The Amazing Spiderman. A hell of a lot better than I was dreading.
I thought the chemistry between the two leads was excellent. from what I hear they are boning for real so that definitely helps.
The crane bit didn't really make sense to me, nor did the police using stun rounds on a guy that's swinging a perilous height from the ground. Also the supposedly medical deployment device announcing its effective capabilities as a detonation would raise a few eyebrows at the Red Cross.
None of that bothered me however. Good fun. The teaser at the end was shite though. Would have been improved significantly by Iron Man turning up and asking: 'You call that a suit.' That would have made my decade. -

Just fucking fannies. Hope they go to another screening and the wole place burns down with them in it DEATH CUNT FUCKS! DIE!Plubs

The Angels' Share
British indi film about a bunch of chavvy youths who meet whilst on community service for various crimes. The story focuses on a young lad, hard upbringing (drunken abusive parents etc) who's trapped by his past, unable to get interviews let alone jobs, unable to escape his enemies. About to become a father, he's given one last chance (by the system and his girlfriend) to change his ways....
In a lot of ways a quite uplifting film with some amusing comedy moments, though it punctures these with a startling about of wondrously abusive swearing and a few scenes of quite realistic violence.
There were some quite serious messages here as well: the main character wasn't presented as a victim - he was clearly criminal and a thug - but the question is whether people can change and whether those around them will give them the chance to do so.
Not perfect, but recommended. I've had to dock a point for their using the Proclaimers in the sound track...
7/10

Registered 9 years agoI watched The Amazing Spider-Man last night too. 8/10 from me also. Excellent action, some good spidey fights which the other films were slightly lacking in. I can't shake the feeling though that I actually preferred Spider-Man 2. Felt more... spidery. And I know it's true to the comics but I prefer the idea that his web shooters are part of his body rather than gadgets. -

Registered 7 years agoI saw spider-man at the weekend. I thought its pretty much pointless and found peter parker to be an unlikable helmet.
Its also full of almost as much idiocy as prometheus, which is saying something.
So, yeah, I found it to be a bit of a turd. The action sequences were ok, though.

Registered 10 years agoRed Tails 3/10 - The 3 points are for the special effects and dogfighting which can be very good but the movie itself is an absolute turd. Some of the worst acting you could hope to see, wafer thin script and cheesy as hell. Typical movie touched by the hand of George Lucas... -

Registered 4 years agoQuarantine 2 - Netflix - 8/10
Didn't have much hope for this; a horror sequel to Quarantine, a Hollywood re-make of REC, that branches off on its own disregarding the plot of REC 2, and loses the whole 'found footage' schtick? Sounds like a finger-lickin' recipe for a saucepan of boiling faeces.
Mid-flight, some passengers start showing flu-like symptoms. And it escalates. In a bloody sortaway. And just from the way the interior of the plane is shot, you know you're not in for your typical straight-to-DVD fare.
It's good. It's not particularly frightening, but it is actually pretty well-acted with a lead actress who at first grates as the one-note eye candy, but soon comes into her own. If anything, that's what surprised me - a lot of the characters are at least a bit rounded (before being brutally killed).
I recommend mainly because it tries, at the very least, to avoid tired clichés the best it can. And that's hard to find in a horror film. -
The Amazing Spiderman
5/10
Lizard looked naff and was woefully underdeveloped (why was he talking to himself!?!)
Dragged far too long at the start
Uncle Ben not saying that line
Just too long and ultimately pointless
Though I did like first person cam, the stan lee cameo and the way spidey moved.You dare to strike Scurrcules!?

Registered 8 years agoI really enjoyed that Quarantine 2, and agree with all of Demi's points. The only thing is it doesn't really feel all that much like a sequel to me - it's a good film in it's own right. There are links to the first one for those that want them, but I felt it was stronger for not having linked too closely.
I'd go as far as to say I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed REC 2. I like both though, it's nice to see 2 totally different sequels to the same concept.Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.

The Amazing Spideypoo - 5/10
Martin Sheen! Emma Stone! Hot sticky web action.
The beginning third was decentish. The buzz of anticipation was the best part. Then, it starts getting disappointing. The slapstick subway fight was a total misfire for me.
Also, the lizard was a bit crap.
Plus points: Martin Sheen. Emma Stone. No Toby Maguire. The short-lived promise of a decent reboot.
Minus points: the transformation phase (origin story?) is the most interesting part of any superhero story. Why then do so many superhero films hurry through it? Linger on it a bit please, like Chronicle did! (But with a less shitty final half, thanks.)
I'm not saying I want all superhero films to be gritty like Chronicle or the new Batman. I just thought this movie was a bit naff.
