So far, we've only managed to just review. We do not suggest movies and thus, we cant vote.

In our subsequent posts, please let these 3 things be present.
1. Review of the current movie.
2. Rating of the current movie.

Because of very few movie suggestions, lets further review a movie most people have seen. So in our posts, lets make sure we add the things listed above so that the reason for the thread would be met.

Thanks.

Next movie on Review: The Dark Knight.

TDK was hyped. But not enough. I personally think a better opportunity will probably never again present itself for those knowledgeable and utterly hideous shitfest indulging cuntley cunts at the academy to award an action film with best picture. WTF? WTFF? Extra F means frigging. Pointing out the great things about the film only makes it look like it has some parts that are not quite good enough. I rate it 90%. The 10% is for airspace. Cons next

And for the pool, Revolutionary Road or The Spirit.

Not to take away from TDK, but somehow I prefer Batman Begins. Liam Neeson is my kind of villain; enigmatic,powerful,self-contained, with underlings in a perfect unity of evil.
You've been waiting a while to rip Revolutionary Road to shreds.
Let 'er rip.

come na 9ja be dis, who dey talk about nollywood

Is this club only for hollywood movies How about nollywood. Thanks

I was gonna ignore this but I couldn't stomach it. DKNY, politically correct crap makes me sick. The can only be just that, the truth. Don't people make films where people are called niggers. red indians etc. If you ask me, I think the film's a tribute to India if anything at all. Like India isn't riddled with slums. Go to Rio, you can throw a stone from a skyscraper and hit an old woman selling beans cakes in front of her house. Embrace accuracy

Slum Dog Millionaire--------- 4 stars, well executed and thoroughly engaging

Curious case of Benjamin buttons ---------- 31/2 stars ----------- The whole ageing backwards concept should have been a little realistic, buttons becoming a baby freaked me out!


For review, X-men Begins, Wolverine --------- 2 1/2 stars -------- They should have put in a bit  more effort with the script, it was bland and didn't jive with the stunts.

The Dark Knight was ok but there was so much symbolism and stuff running through the movie.

And a lot of questions were left unanswered- they were probably aiming for a sequel to tie up the loose ends.



eg who is the joker? What's the real story behind his scars? He kept giving different excuses.

Who was Harvey Dent before he came to Gotham? Had he and the Joker met before? When will Batman redeem his name? etc etc.

Revolutionary Road


Directed by Sam Mendes
Produced by Bobby Cohen
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, Michael Shannon

Well, lookee here. Ms. Vowels just loves to flirt with the wrong end of homicide. What're you doing rating TDK 60%?

Well, Ms. Vowels, I think I wonder what you rate films like Norbit and Epic Movie. Anyways, to each his/her own. Thank God Jk has provided closure. 93%. It's over and done with. Moving on.

Revolutionary Road.

The only other film by Sam Mendes I can recall was American Beauty and it was really a joy to watch. Especially back then when Hollywood wasn't riddled with mediocrity like now. But let's get to this particular film. This film, before I saw Doubt, in my opinon was the best drama for last year. Was it last year it came out? Anyhoo, the Leonardo and Kate combo is a really convenient but no less effective one. The story itself is something I myself can relate to on an extremely intimate level. The life the couple lead is anathema to my hopes. But the portrayal of this story especially in the 70's I think gives it spice. This was a period when 'The American Dream' was still very thick in the air. People actually belived in it not like now where it's more like a myth. But that's not where the story pulls a fast one. This couple were supposedly living 'The American Dream' But it was not enough. The struggles of a young couple slapped with mediocrity and drudgery in a not so svelte blow led to a crisis which was ultimately defined by who wanted it the most and who was the most reasonable, grounded, etc. Having in mind the nature of the story, it's hard to draw on the negatives for they didn't venture into such stuff. I tremendously enjoyed the movie but I can see why many people would not. It's just a story of a not-so-average couple living an average life. What's the fuss, right?

I rate the film 80% and duck all metal objects being thrown at me and shake my fists regardless.

Stop saying stuff like 'in my humble opinion' man. You gotta have more panache.
