Go-Ape

The visuals are rarely less than amazing and the whole concept of the film is brilliant to be honest.  One brother must kill his older, more volatile brother in order to save his younger, more innocent brother from death.  There are some truely brutal sequences in this film so if you are of a delicate nature then it might not exactly be the best film for you, but it is amazing so I'd advise you watch it.  It is also something to behold as Ray Winstone  plays a somewhat decent and loving character which I am yet to see him play in any other film - he's generally a bad guy or and arsehole.  The film has some great acting in it and they all suit thier roles perfectly with some people cast wonderfully against thier usual characters.  No longer typecast, the performances are strong and the film gives you an experience that most other films won't in this day.  

It is such a shame that so few of the actors involved in this went on to do anything else.  But that is the industries loss I suppose.  The film has an outstanding soundtrack with some truely staggering vocals.  I love the character of Deco because he is just such a total bastard but he is a great point of comedy within the film as the person everybody loves to hate.  This is a laugh out loud film, and also maintains Doyle's original points about the unemployment in Dublin what with the arguement that "we're a fuckin' third world county".  

This is masterpiece of cinema, and well worth a view.  I would say that this film is one of the top 50 films and possibly the best film (that I've seen) that's come out of Ireland.  

It is witty and funny in places but it also deals with some more interesting themes and issues such as the internet culture and chat rooms etc. wherein his very young son makes a date with a woman who is into some rather strange things through something he saw as a joke.  I like how the relationships between the characters build throughout thr film, especially the bond between the two kids cause the older brother takes time to help his younger brother and messes around with him - supplying some support that seems missing from his father.  

All in all, I think it's a good film that's well worth a watch but be aware that it is not an overly cheerful film, but it is interesting and heart-warming.   

I also love all the techniques that Mendes uses to express the feeling of entrapment.  In many of the shots of Spacey you will notice that there are often shadows cast over him or windows or blinds - anything that simulates bars, helping to express his feelings of powerlessness and entrapment in both his home and his life.  

This film examines the concept of beauty and popularity in society as well as the mundane aspects of life and our seeming inabilty to escape from them.  This is simply an amzing film which I think that pretty much everybody should see.  It may not be to your personal taste but I'd still say go see it cause it might be and you will never know until you try.   

If you were in the same position regardig a copy of the DVD or something, then I'd advise you go out of your way to see this film.  Aside from the fact that it is a brilliant film with an interesting and intricate plot, whilst at times can be a little bit disturbing, it is amazing.  The cinematography involved in this film and the editing.  The two combined make the drawer scenes feel so overly clostrophobic that you'll walk away convinced that you've never liked confined spaces.  

Supposedly, Keira Knightly went for the role stating that if she didn't get it, she knew she'd be in period dresses forever.  Apparently that has happened despite the film.  But oh well, she certainly puts on an impressive performance here and her American accent doesn't slip too much.  

Overall, this is a really impressive film.  Even if you can't get into the story or you don't like the acting, or even if you don't like the content, I don't think anyone can argue with how good the editing and cinematography involved in this film are.  

I just looked at some of the reviews below this and it doesn't look like people are taking too kindly too it.  However, I will say that I liked it.  It's not a great fim that deals with tough issues or anything like that.  It is just a film that I think is perfect to just stick on in the background really.  It is a film that I can watch and completely turn off.  Every once in a while I like to watch a film that I don't have to really think about and follow, so I watch films like this.  They are 'switch off' films to me. 

Also, this film really has no right to be as tolerable as it is, especially given that it contains John Travolta AND Tim Allen.  Considering this, I think the film was pretty good.  Though I have to say that I flinched each time one of those bikes got damaged.  Makes me shudder just thinking about it 

But they may have been the lack of sleep and the tiny screen as I then saw it a second time and really appreciated it.  It is a very moving film with some beautiful visuals and a brilliant set of interlocking stories.  I like the concept of the film in itself about the tower of Babel crumbling because there were so many different languages all trying to communicate and each not understanding what the other was saying.  So I am especially fond of the stories surrounding Japan and Mexico and the barriers facing them.  

This is a fantastic film although a little dragging in places, it is one that I would thoroughly advise seeing, even if it is just so you can say that you've at least given it a try.  

Please see this film, it is absolutely amazing.   

I hate this movie and I cannot lie, it makes me hate Eli Roth.  he's number 2 on my list of Celebrites I'd Like To Punch (no. 1 is Nic Cage if you're wondering) and I don't care how much Quentin Tarantino likes him and how cool everybody seems to think he is.  I think this film is appaling, and to be honest, deserves to have it's reels buried.  

If you like pointless gore and gratuitous nudity, or gornography to be precise, then by all means go see this film.  But I for one think that it's films like this that are killing cinema.  

So I checked it out and I have to say that I loved it.  It is one of my favourite films, one that always manages to make me smile no matter what.  I also feel that I have to say that Rupert Grint has more than proved himself to be a good actor in this film, he is now in my opinion, one of the best young English actors that we have produced.  

He gets brutally underused in the HP films and lets be honest, is a far better actor than Radcliffe, which is reportedly why he was given the role so I suppose that I can't complain because if he was employed to his full potential in those films, he might never have made this.  However, having said that, the film is heavily dominated by Julie Walters as would be expected given what a great acting force she is.  

I think that this is one of the best films that England has produced in recent years and I would thoroughly reccommend it.  It will always make you laugh and the performances are brilliant.  It has an awesome soundtrack too now that I come to think of it.  

Go see this film, it's better than I can ever make it sound.  

It was like watching Lassie from days long gone.  Very entertaining and a very early example of how editing can be used to create a story.  

This is the story of a baby who is kidnapped by and old gypsy woman whilst the nanny doesn't pay attention, then the dog goes and finds the baby and upon being driven from the place, returns to it's master, the childs father, and brings him to the house where the baby has been taken.  

This film was so hugely popular upon it's initial release that it had to be reshot several times because all of the original negatives wore through.  Seeing that the film is told entirely through editing and monstration, it is an early example of what film was capable of, even when it was still new.  

This has on occasion, been called "the last great British film" although I cannot for the life of me remember who said it.  But they may well be right in terms of it's employment of editing and of camera techniques in the terms of thier being new and unprecidented.  We haven't produced much since that has been more impresive.  Yes we have CGI etc. but this was a classic example of how something new was portrayed properly.  

So i bought it and I was not sorry.  It is a very good film despite what I considered to be a fairly poor British Accent from Whitaker.  I, seemingly unlike most of society saw this without any clue as to what the film was even about so when the 'secret' of the film hit I was shocked.  For once, there was something that was totally unexpected for me in a film.  Generally, most major twists and turns can be figured roughly if you think a little but this one caught me totally off guard.  

The performances in this film were particularly strong with an outstanding performance from Stephen Rea as a man trying to escape his past and do right, whilst getting entangled in things beyond his control, such as his emotions.  This is definately one of the best British films and I would advise that if you do intend to see this film, that it's probably best if you don't read much more into it as most sites seem to reveal the twist.  

Fortunately it is an absolutely outstanding film that cracks me up each and every time I watch it.  Everyone in the film is amazing but Bill Murray steals every scene regardless of who's sharing the screen with him.  His attempt at plastic explosives and the subsequent performances his creations make prior to thier detonation leaves me laughing a good ten minutes after it has passed.  

This is a classic film and I think that if you don't like this film or find at least 5 moments in it to be hilarious, then you were born without a sense of humor.  Sorry, but thats that.  

This film is pure gold.  Plus, it has the King of cheesey films, Chevy Chase in it.  How can you argue with that?

I know that this was not strictly speaking, a remake of the original film, rather a second adaptation of the book.  I am also well aware that this film sticks far more closely to the book than the 1971 version ever did.  But I still love that film and I still dislike this one.  The film looked great, but I was expecting so much more from Burton especially seeing as he was working with Johnny Depp again, Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands...these were such excellent films and then they go and make this!

I don't know what I was expecting when I went to see this film, but I don't know that I had any right to expect it given the Planet Of The Apes fiasco.  But I'll still be eagerly waiting for Sweeny Todd, another Burton-Depp colaboration, and I'll be seeing it on the day of release and keeping my fingers crossed that it takes Burton back to his roots and that he'll have something fantastic hidden up his sleeve for us. 

I really like this film, although it can lag at times, however these moments rarely last long.  It is quite a slow paced film anyway so if you're not into slower paced films, it's most likely not for you.  

It deals with different groups of people, all of whom are trying to get Montreal for one reason or another and as they go they discuss the concepts of ideal love romance and they bicker and Highway 20 becomes a great backdrop for these interlocking stories that deal with many aspects of relationships and life.  

In places it can be a very funny film although it is far from being just a comedy.  I would class it more as a drama, with comedic elements.  It is entertaining and often quite heartfelt in its explorations but it appears that it is not a widely known film which is a shame as it does deserve to be seen.   

Remakes are awful, don't get me wrong.  I hate remakes, which is why I don't like having to admit that this is actually better.  I love this film, I watch it as often as I can and I have even shoved it on at work to show people what a good film looks like (they keep renting Epic Movie and Number 23).  This film has me in stitches every time and I love the soudtrack.  The songs are amazing.  

The cast is so well picked as well, Steve Martin is at one of his funniest roles as Orin Scrivello.  He seems to thrive almost too well as a masochistic dentist with a song that will have you gasping for breath through your laughter, although not of course, if you are a dentist.  In which case, you may well find it a little offensive.  

I have been to japan, I went to 5 locations that were used in this film just so that I knew that I'd been somewhere where such a fantastic film was made.  The performances in this film are brilliant despite the fact that Murray and Johnasson apparently hated each other, and there seems to be such a chemistry that it is hard not to get completely drawn into the film and into thier lives.  

The film is also complimented by some beautiful visuals.  Tokyo is a beautiful place and Coppola captures it at it's best.  I haven't yet met a person who hasn't liked the film which is rare, although I am sure there are people out there who don't like it, but I loved it and I think that most people will.  So I'd say that it is a film that everyone should see at some stage because there are very few films produced today that come up to these standards.  

This is an amazing film and whilst not being an outright horror, is in some ways horrifying.  It has what must be one of the best endings in film history.  I spent 3 months actaully studying this film for my A level Film class and to be honest, now it has become a fantastic joke between the people who were in that class.  Despite how good it was, 3 months left it at a point of overkill and I can no longer manage to watch it in one sitting.  

But that is not because it is a bad film, merely that I have seen it too many times in too short a period of time and have had it tainted.  This is a classic film and if you are thinking of seeing (or have seen the remake and know how bad it is), then please give this one a view as it is so much better.
