nzlegend 1 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Oceans 12 was rubbish, The Incredibles was well worth seeing. I heard Finding Neverland is a good drama well worth a look. AVP? dont waste your time. Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Looking forward to: Batman Begins - Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne with Christopher Nolan directing. Should be quite dark & gritty, the way Batman should be. The War of the Worlds - Another Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg collabaration. Sin City - an adaptation of the famous Frank Miller graphic novels, with a huge cast and really interesting looking visuals. Constantine - based on the popular comic book HellBlazer, with Keanu Reeves as supernatural detective John Constantine.

nzlegend 1 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Dont forget the final Star Wars - I need to see that one for closure if anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I can't wait for the final Star Wars to be over. Then we can hear the last of the big steaming pile of poo that it is. (Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic there, but it's a hope) Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Yeah, i agree. The Star Wars prequels have been a bitter dissappointment to me as well. They are so crap in comparison to the Original Trilogy. It's like their creator just ... forgot how to make good movies. From what I've seen of Episode III it looks like it will follow in the footsteps of I and II. Wait till DVD ... if that. Link to post Share on other sites

Wizz 11 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I have high hopes for the "Fat Slags" movie. Link to post Share on other sites

maoriboy 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 maybe George Lucas shouldve left the directing to other directors for the prequels(like he did with the originals) instead of directing himself. Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The Fat Slags movie? ie the Viz Fat Slags? You must be kidding, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Heres a review 'Fat Slags' is the best film I've ever seen in my entire life. Sitting through it, I thought I was never going to stop laughing. I'm lying, of course. In actual fact, it's bollocks. Based on the 'Viz' comic strip of the same name, it casts the normally-alright Fiona Allen and Sophie Thompson as Sandra and Tracey, a couple of tracksuit-clad takeaway-loving chubsters. One day the obnoxious pair decide to take a bus trip from hometown Fulchester (apparently that's in "The North") to London where, unbeknownst to them, fame and fortune awaits. You see (dear God, I'm embarrassed even writing about this now) a passing media mogul (Jerry "I should be a-bloody-shamed of myself" O'Connell) gets a knock on the head and decides to make them stars. Before you can say "slit my wrists now, I'm ready", the pair are gracing the catwalk at London Fashion Week, the stage on 'Top of the Pops', and the best table at the nearest kebab house. If I had to choose between watching this again and sticking my head into the gaping jaws of a starving man-eating short-tempered tiger, I'd choose the tiger every time. Better still, I'd send the tiger into the cinema to maim the guffawing cretins sitting behind me. Seriously, we're all entitled to our opinions, but the sort of people who laugh at "man gets hit on head by plant pot", "woman farts in bath" or, strangest of all, "pensioner gets hit on head with dead dog, falls into a wheelbarrow and inexplicably catches fire" are exactly what's wrong with this country. Don't worry though - I got a good look at each of their faces whilst leaving, just in case I ever need to do a photo-fit for 'Crimewatch'. Quite simply, everyone involved in making this truckload of tripe should be lined up against a wall and shot. It's hard to believe that William Osborne, the man responsible for penning this worst-film-of-all-time, once wrote the reasonably entertaining 'Twins'. Then there's director Ed Bye. Ed, you directed 'Red Dwarf' man! How can YOU not know that this stuff is as funny as eating heaped spoonfuls of broken glass? And just look at that cast - Geri Halliwell, Angus Deayton, Michael Greco, PUNT AND DENNIS?? We know times are hard folks, but seriously, whatever happened to being able to look your loved ones in the face? So go see 'Fat Slags' today!! Or, alternatively, stay at home and repeatedly bang your shins off the corner of a coffee table. It's Got: Roughly the same laughs-to-misery ratio as spending a weekend in a prison cell for something you didn't do - and having to share that cell with a large tattooed man named Laura. It Needs: To be recommended to people you really, REALLY dislike. Alternatives: Sex Lives of the Potato Men which, incredibly, now seems pretty darn funny by comparison (and I know all you guys who wrote those comments underneath my review of that one love me really!). Summary: This could very well be the worst film ever made. Link to post Share on other sites

unit 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Maybe they chose the wrong Viz strip. I reckon "Buster Gonad and his unfeasibly large testicles" would have been the way to go! Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Coach Carter was Sam Jackson in his prime and based on a true story... also started watching the documentary Super Size Me(guys eats nothing but McD' 4 30 straight days to see what would happen 2 him) Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Star Wars III leaked footage - these are a collection of images which have obviously been leaked from Lucasfilm somehow. It's pretty much the entire story for Episode III told in actual shots from the film. SPOILER ALERT!!! (if you actually want to go along and be surprised, don't follow this link) http://www.tpu.fi/~t4jlaaks/ep3/ P.S. The link may not remain active for long. 20C Fox studio lawyers are threatening all websites who host this collection of images (as opposed to pointing to it like I'm doing here), according to this article: http://imdb.com/news/wenn/2005-02-22#celeb1 P.P.S. I stand by my original claim - while these pictures look pretty sweet, I'm guessing the actual movie as a whole will be crap. P.P.P.S. There's actually not much to spoil ... if you've seen the Original Star Wars (Episode IV - A New Hope), then you know how this one ends. Link to post Share on other sites
