Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift

7/10

Its rubbish really. The story is pathetic and the set pieces are unbelievable (the Japanese Yakuza settling a problem with some punk kid by having a car race? I dont think so), but the only reason you would go to see this film is for the cars anyway and the races all look great. It was as fun to watch as the other two, possibly even better than #2 and there is a nice surprise at the end for fans of the series.

If you are wanting some great acting, a heart wrentching story and some brilliantly detailed drama, then this isnt for you. If you want Japanese girls in short skirts driving customised sports cars then I think you'll love it.

Fight Club was on, enjoyed it, theres things that i really liked about it, Brad Pitt made the film while Norton delivers a believable performance if you haven't seen this film i suggest getting it.Some of the other characters aren't really appealing, Bob for a starter. 9/10

Wallace & Gromt: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
There's no wonder why it got such good reviews when it came out. It's a great movie and it's a real joy to watch. I remember watching the 3 W&G short films years ago. They just seemed to get better and better. I was a little worried when I heard about the movie. I didn't think it would do well, but in the end it turn out great.

I hope to see more W&G in the future :)

Terminator 2

Arnie is back! Terminator turned out to be a big hit and everyone was glad to see a sequel. I think this is one of those rare occasions where the sequel was better than the original. Not that the original wasn't great, because it was. The liquid Terminator was just great and back then the graphics were really stunning.

It's a great movie, not sure about the 3rd movie though. She was hot and all but I dunno. In the end, it turns out you can't go back and change the past. Making their efforts pointless.

Uncle Buck

I've always been a fan of John Candy, I loved him in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He was great in Spaceballs too. It really is a shame he passed away. I've yet to see the film he was making at the time he died.

This is a nice movie, stars your Home Alone favourite, Macaulay Culkin. There's one teary bit when he's sitting in the car with the kids just about ready to go to the race tracks when the eldest kid has disappeared and he realises what he's doing.

We should have more nice comedies like Uncle Buck. It's a great film.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

You've got to love Monty Python. I haven't seen this one in awhile and it's one of my favourites. My brother is still quoting from it even today. Ni!

I loved the Black Knight scene and John Cleese running towards the castle, heh. It's a wonderful film, something you can still enjoy today. I think when I first saw it though, I was a little disappointed by the ending. I guess I wanted them to beat up the French ^^ heh.

9/10 a classic

Watched "The Ghost; aka Ryeong" last week.

Korean horror film about a girl suffering from amnesia. A bunch of her class mates start getting killed off and she knows she's somehow connected, but can't figure out why.

Can't be bothered to go into too much detail at the moment as it's late and I'm tired.

Just if you like horror films, go watch this one, it's great!!

:D

Nothing wrong with a bit of inbreeding...

:S

Saw Charile and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka a few nights ago and quite enjoyed it especially the bits where he's rude back to the kids apart from Charlie. 8/10.

Wonder if The Great Glass Elevator will be done sometime soon?

Finally watched Oldboy last night.

Stunning film. Really messed up, but it drew you in like the overblown hollywood stuff just can't. By objective standards it wasn't that violent... at least not massively so. And not really that graphic. But like blokey said, 'Imagination can make you shrivel. Stop imagining and you can be free from fear' (or something to that effect).
The fight scene in the corridor was probably the best I've seen in any film, the guys just knew exactly how to carry it off, and it was so refreshing compared to the usual hollywood or martial arts stuff.


But man was it messed up too.

Saw Cars a couple of weeks ago.
