If this was directed by the Farrelly's in say 1994 this film would have been so much better but since they've had a couple of flops behind them they've gone almost polite on us, for shame Farrelly brothers for shame! I understand why they did it, but it's just not them!

Sort it out!

But they're going back to old form with the upcoming release of that Greg Kinnear/Matt Damon film!

I love Jack Black and as Mugatu would say in "Zoolander".......

"That Jack Black, he's so hot right now"

He plays the man with high standards really well and I enjoyed the whole scenario!

Yeah I really enjoyed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" It's a great fairytale type film, directed by the great Ang Lee.

What makes it good to me is the fact that I am not at all a fan of the martial art genre but, I think, the story within this film helped me enjoy it to a much appreciated respect.

The performances are brilliant and the fight sequences are stunning.

This film is a big disappointment, it could and should have been so much better. The cast was poorly selected apart from Jared Leto who was okay, but hey everyones got to start everywhere! So it's come to this a film that relies on a Josh Jackson cameo role (oh and Oceans 11 could have lived without him!)

Lets take a look....

A Series of Deaths involving students.

Sounds like it's been done before....

Because it has!

Special FX are stunning in this film, I mean amazing! Him going through New York City CGI style. The cast was pretty much correct with Maguire, Dunst, Dafoe and co doing there jobs well enough. But OH MY GOD the dialogue in some places are awful, I mean really awful, especially YOU, YES YOU grandma. I'm going to open some real controversy now by saying I thought the extra NEW YORK CITY scene (with the citizens watching Spider-Dude save little kiddies and love interest), it was a pathetic attempt for the world to stand up and salute America again after one Tuesday 11th September 2001, I'm sorry to be rude but this is the movie business, we shouldn't need such things highlighted in such a way!

For what it is all the same

This film had great moments of kick-ass entertainment! Namely Yoda without his walking stick!!! Do I get a hell yeah!?!?!

The moments I didn't like, were the bits that I knew Lucas had to include like the romance side etc... I wasn't convinced by Hayden Christiensen at all. I thought he was more convincing as a spoiled brat than a young man with issues against the world. I am really looking forward to the last installment!

Yes. It's kids movie. Yes. Lucas just couldn't emulate his original successes. Yes. Saying all that, it still sucked.

Sorry, but it did. I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan in the world by a long way, but this was still disappointing.

I don't rate Lucas as a director. But it's too late for all that talk now!

I hope Jar Jar Binks gets wasted in Episode III!

Will there be a Alien 5? This film doesn't help anyone's efforts to push for a fifth movie.

They got there main star in Weaver to re-appear as Ripley, they got a great visionary director in Jeunet. They got an actress who at that point was still a huge star that couldn't do that much wrong (well you know what I mean!).

But known of that counted for me because in my opinion this film sucked!

(TAKEN FROM COMMENTS I MADE UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME)

Not quite as good as the first but a damn good effort all the same! I will say that the "YMCA" sequence is inspired, stupid, but inspired! Like the first is good from beginning to end, this one relies on too many cameos (Tim Meadows, Charlton Heston) and homages (Jurassic Park) though. But always worth watching!!!

My favorite scenes have to be, as said the YMCA dance, the voyage to England and the Thelma and Louise Ending!

Wayne's World, surely, has to be the greatest film to come out of cult television show "Saturday Night Live" probably followed by Wayne's World 2! The creations of Wayne and Garth were inspired!

Myers and Carvey show off the skills to the world with good effect. I'm a believer in not giving out spoilers so I don't talk about the film, just my opinion!

PLUS I'M LAZY!

WATCH IT, I PROMISE YOU'LL LAUGH AT LEAST ONCE IF YOU'RE NORMAL!

Alien 3 is the third best movie from the Alien saga but under the helm of David Fincher (Fight Club & Panic Room)

The audience gets a brilliantly dark movie. But I personally found it to be disappointing but what did we suspect!

Weaver is reliable as ever but the support cast are not that good really!

You certainly got the feeling that Fincher is going to be a great feature film director

I Must Have Slept Through August 29th 1997......

Because Judgement Day passed me right by! Anyway, he's back but this time thanks to franchise merchandising he's kind of a good guy, because that nasty Robert "Have You Seen This Boy" Patrick is in town.

It begins far too slowly and that is costly as far as it being considered as BEST EVER material.

Sadly Arnie Schwarzenegger went on to "Jingle All The Way" Ed Furlong to drugs and child star a**hole status (Thats why your not in he 3rd anymore mate!) Linda Hamilton went on to be mayor of a town near Dante's Peak!!! Biehn (Who does appear in this film thank you very much!) can be seen at Retro 80's Night at most night clubs!!!

7.9/10

(Taken from comments I made under a different name) ...it wasn't all that really was it? I mean that sort of film was very popular back then in the early 1990's but it was no way near as good as "Manhunter" which is to be re-done by Brett "Rush Hour" Ratner. Don't get me wrong though I do like "silence of the Lambs" I just don't think it's as big as people say. That's all!

When one of the tag lines suggests that....

"THE ALIEN HAS BRED..." ...How do you respond to that!

Aliens is a brilliant follow up to the brilliant Alien.

Plus I think Aliens just beats Alien in being better entertainment.

I'd be worried if I got onto any kind of transportation to see Sigourney Weaver get onto! Can anyone be so unlucky!?!

THIS TIME IT'S MORE!

A superb film

This is my favorite James Cameron film, actually we'd have to fight it out between Terminator and Aliens! But we can forget about Titanic!

Anyway Arnold Schwarzenegger is THE TERMINATOR - A cyborg from the future sent to carry out and destroy a certain deed! Linda Hamilton plays Sarah Connor...THE DEED! Michael Biehn (1980's God and 1990's/2000's reject) is a guerilla fighter sent from the future to protect Connor from that bloody big bloke!

That police station scene is simply great!

9/10

(Taken from previous comments I made under a different screen name) ...MUPPET'S IN SPACE!

Okay, Okay. Cheap Shot! But in many ways c'mon it's true! Not my favorite by far but I certainly prefer it to Star Wars Episode I: The (So Called) Phantom Menace! And the (m)puppets are more tolerable than one Jar-Jar Binks!

And awwwwwwwwwwwww Don't you just love happy endings!

6.8/10

(Taken from comments I made under a different name!)

The Empire Strikes Back is the best out of the original trilogy, but I think it is only just better than A New Hope but but miles ahead of Return of the Jedi. I also think it's better than The Phantom Menace (which wasn't a hard decision to make!) I haven't decided yet if Attack of the Clones is better or worse!!!

Best entertainment by far in this one for the original trilogy.

Star Wars for grown ups? Oh no it's completely different! This is a chilling suspense thriller all the way!

A bunch of astronauts on there way home to earth...they get a distress call...they do not ignore the call, and they embark on some visitors of the "Oh my God NOOOOOOOOO! Argggghhhh!" kind!

I will say though that I found the build up rather slower than it should have been

But anyway this maybe Ridley Scott's finest 116 minutes!

Spielberg doesn't make horrendously bad movies, he just can't, it's not in his genetics! 1941 came close, critics hated it, Spielberg hated it, I liked it. It's no where near close to a great film, but for what it is, its a amusing look on paranoia in the USA after the PEARL HARBOR attack, alas it would be many years before Hollywood would even consider talking about a comedy to do with the aftermath of 9/11.

(Taken form some of my previous comments under a former name)

This film set a standard of Sci-Fi from 1977 onwards. Sadly it brought us really bad rip-offs that only the die-hard nerds like!

I don't think it's the best darn thing in the history of cinema, but it is enjoyable, like most of the saga

And doesn't that bit when the Stormtrooper hits his head in the background the funniest thing ever!

...saw THE WAR GAME last year and I really enjoyed it... Just caught it on DVD and I can't help but wonder if scenes were cut out of the DVD as I remembered it to be much much longer!?!?

Anyway I digress

I brilliant film made by the BBC which was banned for many years because of the fact it was too real... In most cases it's re-released because films from the 60's tend to date somewhat compared to modern cinema standards. But the War Game is still as hard hitting as it was the day the BBC decided they couldn't put it on television.

Some truely horrible scenes involving the collapse of the nation when bombed by the enemy

For what it set out to do.

This movie is easy to sum up!

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

One highlight from this film is the sound track and that ain't even all that!

What makes this such a shame though was the rising talent that was Aaliyah died just after shooting ended.

Oh and picture the scene, you've just landed a role in what is being built up to be one of the finest films in recent history, best thing is you've landed one of the main parts, you go out there to start filming but days into the production you're told you're not what they are looking for... You go back and do this film instead!

It's a hard life isn't it Stuart Townsend!

Forget the Moulin Rouge being one of the best (all be it one of the only) musicals in modern history, this film must surely go down as one of the best musicals in the history of the talkies!?!?!?! AND this is coming from someone who really hates the musical genre of movies.

There's just something about this film that certainly removes the "Chick Flick" status making this a movie for all sexes. The visuals are stunning: If this type of effort would have been tried in the 60's people would be talking about all the drug influences in the film! The 'over-the-top' acting is essential, with Nicole Kidman (Eyes Wide Shut & To Die For), Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting & Shallow Grave), John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet & The Fan), Jim Broadbent (Iris & Gangs of New York) & Richard Roxburgh (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen & upcoming Van Helsing) as the evil but camp 'Duke' perform brilliantly in this run-of-the-mill story of romance (I thought it was kind of like the plot from "Shakespeare in Love" in many ways!)

The songs are done well and a bunch of middle aged men singing a segment of Nirvana's cult hit 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was hilarious!

7.8/10

All be it funny short this is a good look into the coal mining industry by the now famous G.P.O Film Unit.

what makes this documentary more worth viewing is the fact that the mining industry in the United Kingdom is pretty much dead now so it's intriguing to get a glimpse of a once dominant industry with in Great Britain.

Directed by Brazilian Albert Cavalcanti this is a good look on a dead occupation

6.9/10

...I really really enjoyed Ghost World but I didn't laugh once during the movie!

Was I supposed to?

Is the fact I didn't because I am not American so don't get the funny bits?

I know what was humorous in Ghost World but it was never laugh out loud funny was it!?! I thought the whole situation, the plot as a whole the funny bit.

Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson were a great acting team and would I would certainly watch another movie with them two starring in it if that were the case!

Steve Buscemi does another fine job supporting and don't stop and rewind till after the credits because that quick alternate "Reservoir Dogs" style clip was really good... Hang on I DID laugh during that segment... Well shut my mouth!

A brilliant look of teenage life... all bit it strange teenage life

7.8/10

Ah now this look on work by the British overseas was one the GPO Film Units finest pieces of work (along with Night Mail)

I sensed that there was more love, care and ambition was put into this project!

If you're not a student of film or the media in general the odds of watching this are very low... however I much suspect anyone reading this is doing research about the GPO!!!!

A better documentary!
