Purgatori 1 Posted September 1, 2010 I just found it all to be more style than substance, and not very good style at that, with that line-up it should have been an awesome film. But you don't really find out why they are the Expendables, nor feel any particular connection with any of the characters. I had real trouble actually understanding Sly and his chats with Statham felt tacked on. The only good character was Rourke's and he was just a bit player. The fights were quite poor, too much camera movement and cutting meant they weren't involving enough. And as for humour, I think I only laughed once in the whole film. I expected a lot from this film and was disappointed, imo The A-Team was much more enjoyable. So there Fair enough, each to their own as they say. I'm obviously more easily pleased. I'm quite a simple creature see :lol: Didn't get to see the A-Team in the cinema :( Have to wait for DVD now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneohtwo 8 Posted September 3, 2010 Watched 2001: Space Odyssey last night for the first time I'll have to score it ?/10 as I have no idea wtf that was about! The whole thing with HAL and the spaceship was awesome, but the ending, i'm not so sure.......... :lol: it's a strange film isn't it... Had the same experience with the film. It's awesome right up until the whole white room / monolith / baby floating in space thing goes on... not sure WTF Kubrick was smoking when he made that! For those that enjoyed the HAL / spaceship parts of 2001 though, I highly recommend the film Moon. Didn't get a large release or a lot of fanfare but it's clearly inspired by 2001 and it's really enjoyable! I loved the ending of 2001! Thought it fitted the film very nicely; past, present and future with each bit distinct from the other. Certainly made you think. Agree about Moon, well worth getting hold of, especially as it's about £3 in HMV at the moment... Last film I watched was Abyss ( :| /10). Went on too long, ending decent, middle bit far too rambling and disinteresting. Last film I wanted to watch was A Clockwork Orange ( :grin: /10). Nearly flawless, thought provoking and iconic.

herisites 0 Posted September 6, 2010 Dinner For Schmucks - 6/10 Was funny, very funny in some parts as expected with Steve Carrell, but I found it too stupid and I was actually getting quite aggrevated at parts because it was so stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 6, 2010 Taken - 8/10 Simple idea, 17 year old girl, divorced parents, mother now married to rich guy, father (Liam Neeson) is ex CIA or Special Forces. Daughter goes to Paris with a friend and is "Taken" in a sex trafficking kidnap. It's well done without being daft and as a parent it certainly struck the right notes. Thought it was good overall, apart from the bit where he was captured. Very weak! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purgatori 1 Posted September 7, 2010 Gamer 6/10 Interesting concept, if not entirely original and a bit weird. Action sequences are ok, shots are sometimes a bit 'arty farty', but not bad pace-wise and lots of explosions and fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 18, 2010 Watched Grown Ups and The Expendables last weekend. Grown ups was enjoyable and funny would give it a 7.5-8 out of ten. As for The Expendables ive got to say i was disappointed. Some ok fighting scenes in it, but other then that i thought it was a bit lame and over rated 5/10 and thats been generous. :gag: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
