The Hunger Games - 9.5/10

I went into this thinking "huh, this is really popular so it's probably a little overrated" but came out thinking "crap this is totally awesome now I'm just like everyone else" because it was totally awesome. Not so much the "hunger games" part of it, but the politics and whatnot around it, and the idea of the dystopian world it takes place in is just engulfing. Engulfing is totally the wrong world, but yes, awesomeness interesting smartnessism of a movie. And book! I want to read the book now, rarely does a movie make me want to read the book. (usually the opposite)

I read the books first, so I prefer them. But THG is one of the better book adaptations I've seen recently. They only changed a few things. The books are definitely worth checking out!

Argo 8.5/10
I loved it! I knew next to nothing about this whole situation going into it. And I'm still not sure how much is fact and how much is fiction, but it was interesting, funny, sad, and intense.

This is the 4th of the 9 movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar that I've seen this year. I've given them all an 8.5. They have all been very good movies. I can see why Argo won, but personally I think Lincoln was the best so far.

Cloud Atlas - 7.9

I don't think it's for everyone, but I ended up enjoying it. The jumps through different timelines and stories can be a bit disorientating, but it's definitely a interesting and engaging way to tell a much larger story. And it does really have a good story. And for those that like connected- but entirely different stories are in for a treat. I also really liked that many of the same actors played in each story. For example; One actor (I won't spoil which) plays the villain/bad guy in every story and timeline. It makes it a little easier to follow also.

But I didn't quite like how they chose to visually/conceptually portray the second-last future timeline. The rest was fine, but that one looked/felt a bit too cartoony and sci-fy-ey for the story that it tried to tell in my opinion. A second misser would be that the movie appears to want to make a point, but either doesn't or fails to do so. The stories are similar, sometimes overlap and affect others, but it all seem to come down to love finding itself in the end.

Eh, maybe I'm too desensitized to movie-love to really get the point in it's entirety, but I don't feel like I'm particularly enriched/tickled intellectually by this movie. Which WAS the case with Life of Pi.

I still really liked it, though. One of my top ten favourites, at least. But until I've watched it a couple of times, I wouldn't have a clue where exactly to put it on that list.

In The Valley of Elah - 6.5/10

About an army veteran who finds out his soldier son went AWOL. He looks into it and it turns out his son was murdered and he wants to find out what happened. It wasn't anything mindblowing, but it had solid acting and kept you interested enough to want to find out what's going on.

Looper (2012)

A man in the present is hired to kill people of the future. They are sent back to him, he kills them and gets rid of a body that yet does not exist, the only rule is that If there future self is sent back they need to kill them. His future self is sent back and he fails to kill him..and then it gets complicated and my head started to hurt.

I give it a 8/10 due to the fact Bruce Willis was in it and he is an amazing actor apart from that it is confusing, but a good story if you like action and gore but I don't.

I went to see the new Oz film that was released, I enjoyed it thought it had some funny bits in it however would of liked to of seen it in 3D cause think it would of been better in 3D. 9/10

:D

The Boy in the striped pyjamas. 6/10

This film seemed to be one where the characters jumped through plot hoops leading to the inevitable horrible conclusion that the director had planned for them. It's like the scriptwriter and director manipulated their characters and actions so that they would end up at the conclusion he had planned for them. Most of characters seemed to be one dimensional parodies.

1/10. Wtf was that?

That made an awesome impact

because we were shown it by our teacher in the Education section of prison, when I was 19-20 when DiCaprio & Wahlberg made their movie?

And I was in there for a linked reason, and a year ago all my student mates in my hall and other friends watched Trainspotting at cinema.

During jail, someone brought a VHS tape of BraveHeart. It installs a deep message of getting together. Watching Movies is important to to with a lot of people! Since 2001 I've been doing that all alone. Only now, I realise what I'm missing! Get together!

... now there was a phase of pubs, restaurants, office, cinema bans of smoking. No impact on me, but I hate making visitors go outside to smoke. I still hold onto my belief that life would have been so much easier and better for everyone if I smoked at school and had to pack up after.

Ummm... in jail everyone wanted to smoke and they called it 'burn' not the verb - the noun - its name, that goes in a paper, and every person I know does it that way, apart the people who have died.

watched the film "Set Up" last night...il give it a 7/10, its not half bad i like the story and the action is good but it was too rushed, it all came to an end rather quickly, which was very disappointing i thought they could of dragged it more.

il add another :p

Ninja Assassin..8/10 just for the fighting scene's and gore. story was ok but the action and gore is what makes this shine for me, if you just want an action film with a simple story and lots of fighting and gore i highly recommend this

You should give it another chance, it's a really good movie

I watched De Rouille et D'os (rust and bones) the other day and though I was expecting something cheezy, I thought it was really good and inspiring o_O 8/10

Machete 2/10. OK I watched only 15 minutes of this film. I was trying to eat dinner at the time. The level gore and gratuity in this film makes from Dusk till dawn look like the Sound of Music.

I watched the miniseries adaptation of The Tommyknockers, and I thought it was pretty decent. The book depressed me a bit because everyone (and I mean everyone) dies by the time it's over, whereas in the miniseries, only a select few do. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10.

Just came back from a tiny cinema, where you could watch for free "Branded to Kill", which is supposed to be masterpiece, and one of the favorite movies of people like Quentin Tarantino or Jim Jarmusch. I'm right now not quite sure what to think of it. It confused me somewhat.
