I recently hired five DVD's over the weekend and thought hey what a great idea for a forum. So here it is the official anthems movie review forum.

Post any opinions or anything of any relevence to the movies.

THE FORGOTTEN

I thought this was really good, it so was not what I was I expecting keep ya guessing for awhile, then wondeering where or what will happen next? Jullianne Moore does a great job as acting this distarut mother. The movie portrays the sci-fi side of things very well with out becoming to star trek like (excuse the pun)
tongue.gif

ELEKTRA

This was a dissapointment to me I was expecting so much more from this movie, and it did not deliver. The special effects are second to none tho, great use of visual effects that really made you go like wow. But other than that not really much there.
(just my opiinion that's all)

SHAUN OF THE DEAD

If you liked dawn of the dead, and you love british humour. Then this is for you lots of one liners and great british humour.

TAXI

This was a big surprse to me, I actually enjoyed this and thought it had enough storyline to keep it going. The car chases and driving skills are amazing and the actual car they use pretty impressive. (all you rev heads ). The story line was pretty predictable but none the less enough good laughs and action to keep you entertained. tongue.gif

TEAM AMERICA

For all of you who have not sen this yet...what you doin. This is one of those cult classics like Beavis and Butthead that you just have to see once. (if not twice wink.gif ). I enjoyed this, but then again I love cartoons too tongue.gif > I wont say to mucha bout this one as I willo let you ppls see it.

So there you have it some movies I have seen recently and waht I thought of them. Olease feel free to post your opinions and your reviews here

Video shops are a thing fo the past for me these days. I prefer the internet smile.gif

I've got Taxi and Team America sitting there waiting for me to watch...and I might go watch Team America based on what you guy had to say about it. oh, and I kept hearing so many quotes out of it all last weekend I figured I should watch it!

You will love Team America, Dav! I watched it last weekend as well and laughed my arse off!! tongue.gif

I know this isn't a new movie, but last night I watched "What Dreams May Come"

I can't decide whether I like it or not...

it had a lot of creativity in it, and was interesting... but yeah, I dunno.

Has any one else seen it?? what did you think?
kandiir
We also watched Peter Pan - the one that came out about this time last year on DVD, not animated... I love it!!!! Jordan loves it too. And even tho its the same story, he now prefers to watch the movie, not the original disney cartoon - thank god. We were starting to get very sick of it!!!
buphr
Heya ppls I just watched another move ohmy.gif ..surprise surprise....

I saw Madagascar over this weekend, actually i own it now, biut thats besides the point wink.gif

I thought this was heaps good, it has humour, great one liners and its a cartoon!!! smile.gif What more could I want. If your humming and harring about going to see this one, I would go and see it.

Has anyone herad anything on WAR of the WORLDS yet, am in two minds on this one.

Also what does everyone think about the new BATMAN movie, it has received outstanding reviews so far.

my favourite line is "Jesuuus titty fucking!!!!!!", closely followed by:
"now i've seen everything"
"have you seen a man eat his own head?"
"no"
"well you haven't seen everything then have you?"

and:
"BAKKALAKKADAKKA!!" laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Freddy got fingered. Now thats a fucked up funny movie!! My mate is twisted in head like me and he hasnt seen it till a couple weeks ago and all he does is quote him. He loved it. Also i have being watching the Tom Green DVD's which has episodes on it. Being buying them of ebay at next to nothing. I loose it when thay are on. Nothing but stupid, idiototic toilet humour!!!

well it can be... just on dvd or video first heheheh tongue.gif

I see...

I hate Big Brother so much, it's the biggest crock of shit. It's like watching RaveAdelaide on TV laugh.gif
Davinr
I don't think I would want to see RA shower naked on TV ohmy.gif
SUPERSHOOTERr
laugh.gif

The only Big Brother entrant I can remember that is any good was Paul from last year, the Surfy guy who stirred shit pretty well, made it half worth watching. Now it's all morons crying about eachother and trying to get with other housemates.
Harleyr
Kick out all the women or all the guys and lets see punch ups! now ill buy that for a dollar!

Harley
SUPERSHOOTERr
If Big Brother wanted to be really fun, he should have put random couples in the house, but they aren't allowed to tell other housemates they are couples. Then you'd have the other guys trying to pick up the chicks from the couples and that'd cause heaps of unconfortable situations and make it worth watching haha!

I saw Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxey. Would like to say i have read the books and they are better but, there is something rather hilarous about watching people get smacked in the face by shovels blink.gif . Um if you seen it you will know what i am talking about. tongue.gif

We watched Elektra last night and I really liked it! Keep in mind I haven't seen daredevil and am not familiar with the comic where both characters originated from. And I really like Jennifer Garner - its not one of her better movies, but I liked in none the less!!!

A Brief Synopsis of the Film... When Jen and Kira welcome a fiery and unexpected visitor to their castle they learn that the very existence of the U-mun people, who live in the searing heat of the centre of the earth, is threatened by the death of their sun. There is apparently only one thing powerful enough to heal the ailing star - a shard of the Crystal.

The Gelflings flatly refuse the request for a fragment and the desperate visitor takes matters into her own hands and steals one, making a hasty escape through tunnels deep in the bowels of the castle. So begins an adventure that will see love and goodness triumph over evil and re-introduce cinema-goers to a host of indelible characters including the mystic Ur-sol, Aughra the one-eyed seer, the evil Skeksis and their crab-like and violent Garthim foot soldiers.

Thanks to 'Kiera'.

It's gonna be called The Power of the Dark Crystal

This is all I can find about the sequel to the dark crystal at the moment but it is definately going ahead tongue.gif

Also just finished watching 'Son of the Mask'. It was pretty good if you like animation and side splittin humour in parts, definately one you will either hate or love. Not much story line just animated humour .....bottom line if you like cartoons and animation then you will like this

well tonight i checked out War of the Worlds and to be honest i was a bit worried that it was gonna be shit. Having aliens coming in and taking over the world.... many producers have tried and few have impressed me! and Having tom cruise in it is bound to make it a flop!

But i was actually pleasently suprised how much i enjoyed this movie. The storyline was VERY believable which helped me warm to the movie right from the start and gee's the shit tom goes through! its amazing, edge of ya seat action whole 2 hours!

Camera work and effects also sensational. spielberg has once again raised the bar!

Decepticons vote of approval.........

8/10. a must see for any sci fi fan.

ANY ONE SEEN" WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW"

I think thats what its called , I think its at the nova and I think I want to see it biggrin.gif
tangent23r
yeah i've seen it..

it was interesting [though i was already familiar and open to the views presented], done in a doco style with a fictional story tying it all together, funny in parts, fairly clear while presenting sometimes complex ideas..

a little bit too long i thought, and strays slightly into new agey stuff, but interesting and worth seeing nevertheless..

topics cover:

thought and reality [quantum physics, parallel universes etc]
emotions and chemicals [hypothalamus, addictions, enzymes and behaviour etc]
ah that's all i can remember for now

you feel really positive as you leave the theatre biggrin.gif
jase31r
sounds good - and thought provoking
those concepts make you look at everything fron a different angle

hope its still running !
