Neko no ongaeshi (2002)

2009-05-05T22:13:00.000+01:00

From Neko no ongaeshi (2002)]

Caught this the other day on film 4 and I really enjoyed it. Not as in depth as other Ghibli's but I thought it was worth the watch and the english script was really quite excellent. As ever the overall message that the stories give are excellent, way better than the crap disney spew out. The baddies are rarely obviously all bad, often explaining the reason they are like they are. You compare this with the one dimensional characters that get portrayed in Disney.

Corpse Bride (2005)

2009-04-15T23:51:00.000+01:00

[From Corpse Bride (2005)]

Although the story is very light, I quite enjoyed this short number from Mr Burton and pals. The animation is excellent and it was a joy, but did not get in the way of the story telling (as often happens). The weak point was the lyrics for the songs, these were really quite weak and a missed opportunity to make them amusing in some way. But all in all quite good if a little soulless (no pun intended).

Hmmm. Now I love documentary and I quite like a bit of Dylan, but I ended up switching this off. Really quite poor after 50 mins all I had learnt was that Dylan was brought up in cold place like Fargo. Frankly a waste of everyones time. Dylan came across as dull and shiftless and people as know him as 'larger than life' in a bad way.

This was what I had thought I would get good but not brilliant movie, I think I prefer his documentaries. I do like the way he treats large events, they happen with little wind up but you always feel the enormity of the event. I think this is quite like life, and better than the trad. Hollywood approach of build up to the emotional scene, which is just crap.

I really quite enjoyed this. I really thought it was going to be terrible. I hated 300 and I am not a fan of Zack Snyder. But I really thought it was quite good if straight retelling of Watchmen. The experience was slightly effect by the woman near us giggling every time, Doc Manhattan nude I mean every time, you had to be 18 to be in there but every time he was nude there she was giggling.

Disappointed. I knew this was not going to very good from the reviews but I love noirish detective films so I was hoping this still going to be good. It wasn't. Badly edited and weirdly for De Palma badly shot. Echart and Swank were good, Harnett was old school Hollywood and Johanson was a waste of space.

Got this on a recommendation from some website. It was fine nothing amazing but not awful either. I cannot think of a film though that has a more misrepresentative cover for a film. You could see a lot of teenage boys getting this and feeling extremely uncomfortable. Glossy and a bit empty, weirdly paced without being interesting.

Self indulgent, incomprehensible, cliched all these things but I still thought it was all right.The essence of the picture is lost later on but it does try and deal with the theme of loss.

Capote: a good film about an interesting subject and time in their life. The film is short of very good, because... Well that is hard to define. Was it because you got little insight into Capote?

Doom, Crank, Shooting Aces and Transporter 2

2007-11-06T18:33:00.001Z

Yes I have been watching a whole raft of sub action movies. So what have I learnt from these movies. Well nothing, but have I enjoyed them you ask, well no not really, then why the hell watch them then. Well like many people I have a genre which I can watch even though they are crap, mine are action movies. Yes I have made it through Blue Jean Cop, Fist of the North Star and even Stone Cold. Anyway..

Doom: I quite liked it obviously it was shit but at least it had some balls about being a bit shit. The acting was dodgy and script terrible but it had some reasonable acting talent, although the Rock needs to get some more lessons. I so wish he had become the next Arnie, ah well. I found myself quite involved by the end, wish was destroyed by the first person action and the final ending.

Crank: Now forget about Jason Strats comedy walk, I think he thinks it makes him look efficent and mean, it doesn't. He can deliver the action with a good fight director although it is more MTV style that old school eastern filming, close short cuts from freaky angles. I enjoyed Crank it was crap but good crap andhad no intensions of anything else.

Shooting Aces: really quite crap, it thought it was somethingn so much more and it wasn't. Bad.

Transporter 2: I quite liked the first one, unfortunely this has upped the girls and the action. You know they have taken things a little too far when he drives a car up a ramp, pulls a bomb off with a suspended crane hook and then lands back on the wheels. Ah well watch Crank as a sequel instead.

So that concludes crap action films round up for now. Currently we are struggling though Bus 174, not an easy watch.

Sahara

2005-09-14T15:08:00.000+01:00

How does this film suck?
Let me count the ways.

Matthew MacconWAHAY .. in the right film he's good (Contact). This is not the right film.

Penelope Cruzcontrol .. I have no idea if she's a good actress or not, none whatsoever. It's hard watching acting in a foreign language: all her words come out in the same mono-tonal drawl. When she opens her mouth all I hear is "Ack-ack. Ack ack ack-ack? ACK ACK!" I'm tempted not to give her the benefit of the doubt and state categorically that she's RRRRRRRRUBBISH! Also, does anyone actually think she's attractive? She looks like a Pepperami that's been stung in the mouth by a horse-fly! (Not that I am implying that all actresses should be nubile hotties of course. Far from it in fact: I am of the opinion that EVERY Hollywood film would be better served casting Kathy Bates in the lead female role. FACT! All studio films adhere to the insidious policy of body-nazism where boys can be old and flaccid but girls must be young, thin and willing. What kind of example is that setting to our young impressionables eh? It's wrong I tell you, WRONG!!)

Matthew Baconaway and Penelope Career-stop ... I've seen more chemistry in my naval that exists between these two-by-fours. When they finally kiss at the end it's like watching your uncle french-kiss a Red Setter. And not my uncle either .. your uncle.

It's the longest film ever made. * And you thought Heimat was a challenging watch; try viewing this all the way through without passing out/crushing your dvd player into bite-sized morsals with your hob-nailed boots.

(* Note: I have been informed that this film is in fact not the longest films ever made. Well, I must have seen some other tediously long piece of shit then.)

House Of Flying Daggers

2005-08-21T15:55:00.000+01:00

This film SUCKS!

There are two reasons to watch it:
Reason Number 1: fighty scenes look purty;
Reason Number 2: Ziyi Zhang looks purty.

That is it.

The story begins with one big carrot: guy working for THE EMPIRE needs to infiltrate THE REBEL ALLIANCE to find their FOURTH MOON OF YAVIN and destroy it. SOUNDS GOOD!

Nice things then happen: Ziyi Zhang goes all dancey-dancey; there's some fights involving nice colours, boomer-daggers and Ziyi Zhang going all bendy-bendy. Then there are a few twists (which are dull) and then whole interesting plot thing fizzles into a stupid "romantic" three-way which sounds a lot better than it actually is.

The dialog is particularly dull. Lots of teenage girl flowery aphorisms which do nothing to keep my foot kicking the dvd player in.

A lot of people will try to convince you that the film is beautiful and poetic. Do yourself - and them - a favour and beat these nodding dodos unconscious with a copy Raise the Red Lantern.

The Descent

2005-07-24T23:26:00.000+01:00

It's rare for a film to live up to it's premise, and rarer still when the premise is as genius as this: nasty things happen to six naked lesbian* pot-holers underground. Brilliant!

As fireworkz2k on imdb user comments says it best:

"Leaves you sitting on your lunch"

*(Please note that the six naked lesbian pot-holers in question may not actually be lesbians per se, however under all that sexy pot-holing gear they were all definately completely naked. I can prove that on an etch-a-sketch.)

Saw

2005-07-23T12:45:00.000+01:00

Here's the truth: films with bad endings are bad films; films with good endings can never be truly bad. How many times have you seen a film that you start off enjoying, but then turns into run-of-the-middle rubbish? ALL. THE. TIME! I hate half-enjoying a film only for it to turn to goo in the last 15 minutes. If I wanted to feel like I've wasted the last 90 minutes of my life I'd watch Dragonfly.

Saw is grisly fun that keeps a you asking questions, but when it gets to the point where that bloke off The Princess Bride who has been shit ever since starts mugging and flexing his over-act gland, that nagging sensation hit my stomach that the whole thing was going to turn from Cheese to Shit ...

.. and it didn't! The ending of Saw turned the Cheese into Ham, but nice ham with mustard in nutty lightly-toasted bread. It's completely ridiculous, massively contrived, and doesn't even work as a puzzle movie because - unlike films like The Sixth Sense - the clues aren't there, HOWEVER it works because it's intriguing, silly and just plain entertaining. I enjoyed the twists and revelations, rather than being pissed off that they couldn't be deduced.

The Ring

2005-07-14T23:26:00.000+01:00

Much maligned by AHA's as not being a patch on the original.

Please note: All AHA's can stuff their opinions down the nearest cabin-capped well! This film rocks! It's more creepy than Ringu and importantly has a special effects budget (Rick Baker: Legend!) and so depicts those who have been scared to death as an unnerving vision of explicit viceral horror, and not as pasty-faced extras holding their breath and gurning.

However, the ball is definately dropped in a couple of key ways:

Horses. Horses are never good in films, even stupid mad suicidal horses.
Horses in films are good for only two things:
1. Being a form of transportation in Westerns.
2. Being punched in the face, like in Blazing Saddles
Really: who's interested in watching horses? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's never been a good movie ever about horses.
(See Seabiscuit for details; that inspirational oscar-nominated true story poetically portraying the collective consciousness of post-Depression America SUCKED! Think I'm wrong? You're wrong, you horse-loving hoof-sucker!)

They show Sadako's face! Part of the genius of Ringu is that you never properly see her face. Fear is mostly of the unknown: in the remake a massive part of the suspense gets sucked into the nearest 80's VCR as soon as you see Samara's face she stops being undead ghostly swallow-your-soul beastie-girl and turns into a cute-looking 12 year old girl with greasy hair. Girls can be scary, but not small girls with scalp issues.

.... I've talked myself out of it. This film sucks.

Hostage

2005-07-13T00:23:00.000+01:00

This film is good if you can stop your brain working for 113 minutes.

If you're thinking of watching this film I recommend:

Drinking heavily before hand;

Hitting yourself over the head with a polo mallet every time you spot plot-stupidity

I advise brain stem activity, but little more.

Imagine you're coming out of a coma: you're woozy, disoriented ... before calling the nurse, watch Hostage.

Now I don't like submarine movies as a genre. Even Das Boot leaves me cold. But like this one, everbody is pretty unknown so you have no idea who is going to get it or give it.

Dragnet (1987)

2004-07-03T15:08:00.000+01:00

Why do I like this film? Not Tom f***ing Hanks. All for one gag, and the dancing or maybe the goat skin chaps.

Blue Velvet (1986)

2004-07-03T15:05:00.000+01:00

Blimey, great film. Swearing ahoy and much joy to be had by all.

K-PAX (2001)

2004-07-03T15:04:00.000+01:00

Never really engaged me. All the elements of being a good film, without being one

Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975)

Happiness (1998)

2004-06-26T21:48:00.000+01:00

Wow. I find this a real peach of a movie. It does everything art should do entertain, winch and think. I really have no ability to do justice to this film. I grant you I do not want to watch this every night. But this is what people are like complicated, very complicated, as is your reaction to the film.

Captain America (1991)

2004-06-26T21:44:00.000+01:00

Spidey, Superman even Swampthing, should worry not.

Cliffhanger (1993)

2004-06-26T21:41:00.000+01:00

I have a massive soft spot for this film as I saw it as a surprise film. Just a pretty good action movie with John Lithgow hamming it up.

Monkeybone (2001)

2004-06-26T21:38:00.000+01:00

It could have been so good. Weird and wonderful characters, good actors, but but just bad. Well shot thought.

Fist of the North Star (1995/I)

2004-06-26T21:36:00.000+01:00

A fisting may be more enjoyable

Blazing Saddles (1974)

2004-06-26T21:34:00.000+01:00

Great film very funny plus makes loads of points about racism. Incredibly brave film and would never be made today.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

2004-06-26T21:31:00.000+01:00

Not as bad as you may think

They Made Me a Fugitive (1947)

2004-06-26T12:08:00.000+01:00

Brilliant especially the handling of the violence. Visceral with out showing a thing. One of those great british movies ignored in this country.

Rabid (1977)

2004-06-26T12:04:00.000+01:00

I know horror is a very personal thing. One man/woman's Friday the Thirtheen is another man/woman's ET. This movie gets to me. I find it really horrific, the point really.

Sling Blade (1996)

2004-06-26T11:58:00.000+01:00

Truly great movie. Shame Billy Bob is not turning these out anymore. Does the man ever look the same in a movie? Check the difference between Tombstone, Pushing Tin and A Simple Plan.

Order, The (2003)

2004-06-26T11:53:00.000+01:00

Well a plot would be great....but no. An idea and no story. Ah well Shannyn looks nice though.Order, The (2003)

Mean Girls

2004-06-23T21:18:00.000+01:00

Teen movie that worth watching for one moment... Great for girls it is aimed at, and not bad for over weight 30 year olds with nothing better to do.

Phase IV

2004-06-23T21:14:00.000+01:00

Fantastic ant movie, the best ant movie ever made even better than THEM! Beautifully shot in seemingly primary colours. If you have ever watched some ants carefully and wondered what if they wanted to do something else....this is the movie for you.

Shit films = shit.
Bad films = shit.
OK films = shit.
Good films = genius.
Genius films = genius.

Seriously: why watch an ok film? WHAT IS THE POINT?
