Simple exercise, really. Put down the last film you have watched, and instead of rating it yourself, let someone else give their (brief) comment and rating.

The idea of this is to allow people to tell us what they think.

For example, if I were to mention A View to a Kill, JennyFlexFan can reply and sing its praises to us at his heart's content. :D Then, if he has seen Spider-Man 3 or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, he could put one of those down for others to rate.

So, to start this off:

Bridge to Terabithia

    Terabithia was a very good movie, it had a few sad parts though. :( Overall 8.5/10

    Crap. Talk about killing the bird that laid the golden egg, that series has disappeared down the drain.

    Airplane. The best Zucker brothers comedy ever made next to the original Naked Gun. Hilarity every other second. Favorite scene for me would be the "Disco live forever!" :))

    Overrated drama with Steve McQueen repeatedly trying to escape from an island prison before his teeth fall out. Sometimes considered a classic because it was made in the 70's and had McQueen in it, this is plodding, middlebrow stuff. Watch Bullit instead.

    One of the greatest Westerns (and films) ever made. An awesomely brutal Western that is most certainly not for children. :D It was made during an era in which the Western was revised and made alot darker; other Westerns in this era included the Leone films and Eastwood's earlier films. The Wild Bunch is a masterpiece. {[]

    Wonderful Billy Wilder comedy with Marilyn Monroe tempting her neighbour to stray from his wife. Proof that Monroe was one of the finest comic performers ever. And it provided one of cinema's greatest images. Think a white dress blowing around Monroe's waist as she gamely tries to keep it from going any higher. :)

    Assuming, of course, that you refer to the 1940 Hitchcock version... ;)

    A splendid film lead by two of the world's greatest film performers; Laurence Olivier, and Joan Fontaine. Undoubtedly one of Hitchcock's best, and one of the finest films made to date.

    Chilling thriller based on Thomas Harris' novel. The first - and best - of Anthony Hopkins' portrayals of the villainous Hannibal Lector, and Jodie Foster is not bad either. 8.5/10

    A really good martial arts film with superb, if not entirely realistic, martial arts from Jet Li, probably the best Chinese Martial Artist since the Legendary Bruce Lee. :D

    Not really a Scorsese fan. An OK but overlong mob picture, but its definitely well cast. 5/10

    Ocean's Thirteen

  • John DrakeJohn Drake On assignmentPosts: 2,564MI6 Agent
    Watchable, but entirely forgettable sequel, that to be honest, we really didn't need. An improvement on Ocean's Twelve, but then you could have filmed George Clooney attempting to open a coconut, and it would have been more interesting than the last film.

    Next: The Good German.
  • Brosnan_fanBrosnan_fan Sydney, AustraliaPosts: 521MI6 Agent
    Not too bad World War II drama from Soderbergh. George Clooney and Cate Blanchett give OK performances, though Tobey Maguire is almost a non-entity here. 8-)

    Again, not a bad film, but you'll forget it about a week later.

    A very impressive TV season, although it is at times less than subtle. Quite horrifying at times, I'm happy that I am not in an American (or Australian) prison. :D

    Not too keen on Fincher's work (though I was impressed with Seven). An OK thriller which is unfortunately too long to sustain viewing interest.

    An hour and a half of fun. I'm not into the Fantastic Four movies to much, but this film had awesome effects and a easy to follow plot. I also have a feeling there will be more Fantastic Four films.

    Next film:

    The Untouchables (1987)

    It features some brilliant moments, and a few terrific performances (from Connery and De Niro) but is mostly pretty boring. I think it completely under-achieved and failed to live up to its great concept, amazing cast and fantastic crew. However, if one enjoys Gangster films, then one shouldn't rule seeing it out.

    Next: Dirty Harry.

    Clint Eastwood is in his element as Harry Callaghan, a vigilante cop with little time for the liberal, namby-pamby, do-gooding, ponces who run the police department. he knows that the only true justice comes from the barrel of a gun, a Magnum 45, to be precise. :)) You can debate the morality of Dirty Harry all you like, but it's still tremendous fun.

    Interesting that you bring up its morality. I would argue that the film is alot more morally ambiguous than alot of people give it credit for. That is to say, I think that Harry is treated not so much as a hero but as an anti-hero.

    As for NSNA, it's a fun film with some good elements but is IMO among the worst of the Bond films and is by far Connery's weakest Bond film.

    Next: Carrie.

Although not as good as the first film, of course, it has some terrific action scenes (the ending is magnificent) and is wonderful fun. I would truly recommend it to anybody who likes action films. An amazing film and one of the all-time great sequels. :D

    Next: Being John Malkovich.

    Written by the great Charlie Kaufman, Being John Malkovich is wonderful oddity. Kaufman is the funniest writer to tackle the nature of being human since Kafka. Malkovich is an inspired choice as the lead. He sends up his own persona and delivers one of the performances of his career. Even better is the idea that a highbrow like Malkovich would be close friends with Charlie Sheen. :)) The scene where JM asks CS for advice is hysterical.
