Hugo - 8/10

I <3 Martin Scorsese

 

[Zyzzyva]

50/50 7.5/10

A comedy with some real emotional weight. Better than most films in its genre. 93% on rottenntomatoes - nuff said.

The Help 8/10

Quality take on a subject which we white south africans have grown tired of for obvious reasons, but still quality nonetheless. Great performances breath real life into an old topic.

Zookeeper

Avoid this stupid crap. 3/10

 

[satanboy]

Cowboys & Aliens

Action packed. 6/10

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Awesome movie, good acting a great CGI. The prequel to the others made in the 60's & 70's. 8/10

30 Minutes or Less - 3/10.
Pathetic, humourless clone of Harold of Kumar.Avoid at all costs.

 

[KingBel]

Watched Ong Bak 1, 2 and 3. All of them have amazing martial arts sequences. Also check out Ip Man 1, 2 and 3 if you are looking for very convincing and altogether amazing martial arts.

Ong Bak = Thai Kickboxing I think
Ip Man = Wing Chun (Bruce Lee's style of fighting.. Ip Man is the story of the man that trained Bruce Lee)

Zookeeper

Avoid this stupid crap. 3/10

+1000. I felt like I wasted an hour and a half of my life :/ I mean seriously, how do those actors look at themselves in the mirror after crap like that.

 

[Tpex]

Pathfinder 5/10
Yawn... thought the action would at least save it.

Looks like Hollywood has run out of ideas, when I read these reviews.

ZooKeeper was a kids movie and was made to be a kids movie. Seen in that light it was pretty decent.

It was never intended for adults. 8-10 year olds would love it.

The Immortals:

1/10. Plodding, predictable, poorly-edited formulaic crap. couple of decent fight scenes but thats it. Don't go see this thinking it's 300 2.0. Its not.

I am number 4:

.5/10: People in the Warsaw ghetto didn't suffer as much as I did watching this nonsense. It's a couple of years old I think but avoid like the plague. Stars the same guy from Beastly which reminds me...

The immortals is no classic, but to rate it lower than "I am number 4"? That #4 was utter crap, big whomper weapons anyone? Inflatable puppies? Giant flying bat hybrids? The aliens guys sucked, they should not have let them have any lines, they were better until they opened their mouths. Nah.

Super 8 - 6/10

Enjoyed this movie up until the last 20 minutes or so. The ending felt a bit too rushed. Disappointed because it's a really well made movie.

The rating was .5, not 5.

Oh, my bad! I figured the . for a misplaced point

 

[The Magician:)]

Looks like Hollywood has run out of ideas, when I read these reviews.

Hence I have went back to the ole western stuff, watched this weekend Open Range (8/10) Best shootout scene ever.

 

[Devill]

Sinbad - 7.5/10

Reminded me of Alladin.

 

[waynegohl]

The Thing 10-10

Reminds me of the movies Alien(s) and Mindhunters.

 

[satanboy]

Cargo

German sci-fi movie (dubbed). Interesting story, some of the translation was a bit off. Entertaining. 7/10

 

[satanboy]

The Thing 10-10

Reminds me of the movies Alien(s) and Mindhunters.

1982 or 2011?

 

[FrankCastle]

I see there's already a blu ray rip of Catch 44 with Bruce Willis but it hasn't even been released theatrically yet.

How does that work?
