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)

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

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?
kandii
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!!!
buph
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.

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

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.
