WorksopRam Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Rise of the Footsoldier: 7/10 Not a bad film really. Quite interesting, the fact that it's based on a true story. A decent mix between a hooligan and gangster flick. Not bad if you can pick it up for a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkRam Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Inception,omg omg omg,What a superb film. It has a Matrix feel to it and even though i gasped at that films awesomeness 'Inception' is better. 10/10 (the wife didn't understand what was going on, i think she'd give it 5/10) although having said that,my fave film '12 monkeys' is better than both so that should get 11/10 :confused: Agree with ya, inception is amazing, I see it as the matrix meet oceans eleven. Would say my favorite film of all time, just incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Just thought I'd add a few more to the list... A Team 5/10 - Really expected more American cheese from this, wasn't cheesy enough for my liking so I had to eat a couple of babybel's after to cheer myself up. Law Abiding Citizen 9/10 - Loved this film, I said to the missus at the start "this this and this will happen", she got a tad mardy and asked why couldn't I just watch the film instead of guessing. Didn't matter in the end because I was way off, the ending could off been slightly better but I still thought it was a quality film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd say 6 for A-Team and 8 for Law Abiding Citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None the less an enjoyable film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkRam Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Bang on. Although I'd say 6 for A-Team and 8 for Law Abiding Citizen. I actually quite enjoyed a team so would go 7.5/10 Daveo is spot on for law abiding citizen. A few predictable moments but a class film all the way 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 The Hitcher: 5/10 Not bad. Not good, but not bad. This was the remake, I've never seen the original. Sean Bean's alright in it, and there's a nice bit of trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen- 6.5/10 Don't really see the appeal with these films. They're decent on the big screen, but other than that it's just mindless action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen- 6.5/10 Don't really see the appeal with these films. They're decent on the big screen, but other than that it's just mindless action. It's just alot of special effects and anyone who liked Transformers as a kid will enjoy them. The first one I really liked, the second one I heard had a terrible plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkRam Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Unstoppable 8/10 Well worth watching, based on a true story so quite touching as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorchedturf Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Rise Of The Footsoldier charts the rise of a young guy from football hooligan to nightclub doorman (as one critic put it). This movie was total crap, but they put some banging tunes on the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Unstoppable 8/10 Well worth watching, based on a true story so quite touching as well. Probably because you couldn't press the stop button on your DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley Hare Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 State of Play - Star-studded Hollywood remake of BBC TV political conspiracy thriller. Not bad, but the movie format doesn't leave enough time to slow-build the tension as the depth of intrigue and corruption is uncovered. 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley Hare Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 is that the one with russel crowe and heen mirran? i liked that, thought it was at least an 8 Yep, that's the one. Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, and a load of other faces you'd recognise, although I'm not sure that casting Mirren as an Englishwoman Washington daily newspaper editor was exactly a masterstroke - it lacked authenticity for me. But hey, it's Hollywood, suspend reality all ye who enter.... Trouble is, I remember the BBC series and I really enjoyed that. The film is ok if that's all you know but, as I mentioned, there's no time in that medium to slowly crank up the sense of conspiracy, collusion and paranoia like it was done on the TV, everything was done too quickly for me. 2 different mediums telling the same story in ways that suit. I preferred the BBC series, so I had to rate the film accordingly, but if it's an 8 for you then that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
