As Before

Just the facts mam

Dave Chapelle's Block Party

Thumbs Up

A Better Way To Die

Written, directed and starring Scott Wiper, only good for wiping his arse, pity as he got a pretty decent group of character actors together and them wasted them in shitty action, next up for Scott Vinnie Jones and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Condemned, I know it will be shit but I know that I will see it. Thumbs Down

The Thin Man

Thumbs Down

In Her Shoes

I want L.A confidential Curtis Hanson back now please. Thumbs In The Middle

Children Of Men

Absolutely stunning. Two Thumbs Up

Little Miss Sunshine

Worth watching for the little girls dance routine at the beauty pagent at the end alone, funny and creepy at the same time. Two Thumbs Up

Two For The Money

Pacino, stop doing shit please. Thumbs In The Middle

Roll Bounce

Roller Disco baby, and hour of crap saved by half an hour of dance routines at the end, me loves me some dance routines. Thumbs In The Middle

The Fury

Weak DePalma. Thumbs In The Middle

Performance

Mick Jagger does drugs for an hour and a half. Thumbs Down

Battle Royale 2: Requiem

Tried to watch this again cause I love the original, gave up before the end again. Thumbs Down

Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Good modern day western, done in the old western style i.e. too slow for the youngsters today. Thumbs Up

Payback

With the directors cut coming out I thought I would check out the theatrical version, which was drastically reworked by Mel Gibson, the new stuff he added is the weak point of the film which I other wised liked so really interested in seeing the D.C. Thumbs Up

The Business

Crappy british gangster flick that tries to hard to be like the good british gangster flicks. Thumbs In The Middle

Hotel Rawanda

Thumbs In The Middle

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song


Groundbreaking blaxploitation film, groundbreakingly boring that is. Thumbs Down

The Devil's Rejects

Put off watching this for ages as the first part House of a 1000 corpses was so bad but kept hearing good things about this and wish I hadn't waited now, awesome 70's style horror. Thumbs Up

Babel

Not as great as I was hoping but another solid film from Alejandro González Iñárritu. Thumbs Up

Casino Royale

Suffers from bad pacing with all the action packed into the first hour then slows down with the poker game on the end, but a great return for bond none the less Thumbs Up

Wal-mart: The High Cost Of Low Price

Walmart are greedy money grabbers OK, some of there tactics are disgusting though. Thumbs in the Middle

The U.S. Vs. John Lennon

Follows the story that Nixon was so scared of John Lennon's influence that he had the F.B.I. follow him for years. Thumbs in the Middle

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Is it right to say you loved seeing a fat, hairy naked man put his balls into another naked mans face. Thumbs Up

Jackass Number Two

Starts off a bit slow with the early skits not being too funny but I was hurting from laughing by the end. Thumbs Up

The Ipcress File

Michael Caine tries to do bond and almost succeeds. Thumbs in the Middle

Happy Feet

Almost oscar ranted on this, best animated feature my ass, but the message is so beautiful they say, fuck that, what message, be nice to penguins but only if those mother fuckers can tap dance, if the can't feel free to eat them and wear there skins as coats. Thumbs Down

Hellboy: Sword Of Storms

First in a series of animated features to tied over to the sequel, crazy as fuck. Thumbs Up

The Fog

Why? just watch the John Carpenter original, only fun to watch Tom Welling try to act. Thumbs Down

The Majestic

Weak Darabont, needs to stick to the Stephen King adaptations which thankfully he is doing again Thumbs In The Middle

The Prestige

Great battling magicians flick from Christopher Nolan who apparently can do no wrong, so that's me jinxed the Batman sequel Thumbs Up

Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny

Just good when it could have been great, may have enjoyed more had I not listened to the album which is more or less the film without the pictures. Thumbs Up

Zathura: A Space Adventure

Sequel to Jumanji and slightly better than that, no mugging robin Williams probably helps. Thumbs in the middle

Half Light

Crappy Demi Moore Thriller. Thumbs Down

Bullitt

Love the Car chase even if that Green Beetle some how manages to re-overtake the mustang multiple times. Thumbs Up

Office Space

Thumbs Up

Lost Highway

As I start to understand it a little more each time I see it the enjoyment goes up. Thumbs Up

Lady In The Water

M Night with more M Shite, please do something good again please, you should have learnt from Robert Rodriguez with Shark Boy and Lucas with Jar Jar that just because you are talented with good ideas does not mean that your kids are the same. Thumbs Down
