GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Mar 8, 2008

I know I'm a bit late with this but the other weeks episode of Lost was maybe the best episode ever. Desmond has been long my favourite character and that episode just strengthened it even more. Juliet's episode was good enough but it contained filler which hopefully won't happen next week in which (spoiler) someone dies.

Dan and Des

Oh and the previews made it so obvious that Michael is the Ben's guy on the boat!


Anyway I've watched a whole bunch of films recently and I thought'd I'd rate them all from worst to best:

Shoot 'Em Up - 4/10 - Completely stupid, stupidest film I've seen for years. Carrots WTF?

I am Legend - 6/10 - Good at the start but got worse towards the end and the Zombies were fake looking.

Cloverfield - 7/10 - Start wasn't great as the characters were annoying. Once the monster appeared it was good.

Pirates of the Carribbean 3 - 7/10 - Waaay too long and complicated, doesn't ruin the trilogy but lets it down a bit.

Juno - 7/10 - A bit of a dissapointment considering the hype, it was a nice film which made me laugh a few times but not as good as I had expected.

Blood Diamond - 8/10 - Gripping throughout, although I expected the ending from early on. Leonardo DiCaprio is always good, in fact I think he's the best young actor and has been for a while.

3:10 to Yuma - 8.5/10 - Very good film, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were excellent as always.

There Will Be Blood - 9/10 - Intense throughout and Daniel Day Lewis definatly deserved the oscar, this movie is long but always keeps you interested. Maybe not for everyone though.

American Gangster - 9/10 - Loved it, I love most gangster films and this was no exception. Denzel Washington stole the show really but Russell Crowe was good as well.

No Country for Old Men - 9.5/10 - I was close to giving this a 10, best film for about 5 years. It felt fresh and original which is something rare these days. Javier Bardem (below) plays one of the scariest characters I've ever seen.

Javier Bardem

Anyways....see ya.

Wow mate you watched loads of movies lately. From those I watched Juno, POTC 3 and I am Legend. Juno was overrated, POTC 3 was really good and it had Keira in it , whilst I enjoyed I am Legend. I want to watch Cloverfield, No Country for old Men and American Gangsters for sure

Indeed American Gangster, No Country of Old Men were great films; haven't seen There will be blood yet. P.O.T.C 3 was O.K not as good as the 1st and 2nd ones.

"The Other Woman" was always going to be a bit of a let down after last week's awesome episode. I really liked Shoot 'Em Up, it was daft but great!
Posted Mar 9, 2008 8:32 am PT
Thanks for the replys.

kawadge: Keira is always a plus point for POTC!
David: I don't want to talk about United, aaaahhhhhhh.
Sarah: LOL at all those "Haven't seen it"s
vman85: There will be Blood is worth seeing but you need to be in the mood. I think.
petef20: I know a few people who liked Shoot 'Em Up and I didn't mind it at first but it just got more and more ridiculous towards the end.

I am Legend: To be honest I did not like this movie that much..guess it was OK.
Cloverfield: Enjoyed it a lot.
Pirates of the Carribbean 3: Depp saves the movie. IT was the weakest of the 3 by far and indeed too long.
Blood Diamond: Great movie..nuff said.
No Country for Old Men: Deserves the award.

I really wanna see No Country for Old Men, heard good things from many people And American Gangster is really awesome
Posted Mar 12, 2008 4:21 pm PT
avi01: Yeah you are pretty much spot on with those reviews. Depp is definatly the best thin about POTC.

iliastse: Yeah you should see No Country, it definatly was worthy of the Oscar.

American Gangster was great
