We watched Love Actually last night.

the great film bit meh. EVERYONE knows this is a great film, do you still want a review?
don't fling the toys out the pram, I think it's only fair that those reading reviews on this and picking films due to these reviews give a little back.
that's how the last thread got to 500 pages.

Thread originator here!
To put this to bed, can we all just agree that anything posted has at least:
- a title
- brief plot
- +/-
- score
The plot / review can be as short or long as you like but I agree a title and score is not really contributing in the spirit of the thread.
Yeah ok I see what you mean, Sounds good to me.To put this to bed, can we all just agree that anything posted has at least:

Ruined by the kid - why he wasnt gunned down for running through the airport I dont know.EVERYONE knows this is a great film, do you still want a review?
Anyway, back to the new stuff.
Bourne Legacy - Enjoyable enough romp and I thought Jeremy Renner did well(as usual) but it lacked a certain something compared to the original Trilogy. 6.5/10
Taken 2 - You should know what to expect really. Dafter story, worse acting and worse script than the first. I still enjoyed it though. A total guilty pleasure. 6/10
...you'd be looking at her eyes?!?!

Thats cos they know all men would do Kiera Nightly and Tess Daily.
Tess "dead behind the eyes" Daly? Not a chance.
The Stepford Wives
Not new films but the first time I'd seen them.
1) The Proposition - Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone
"19th century Rural Australia: Capt. Stanley capture two of the four Burns brothers, Charlie and Mike. Their gang is held responsible for attacking the Hopkins farm, raping pregnant Mrs. Hopkins and murdering the whole family. Arthur Burns, the eldest brother and the gang's mastermind, remains on the loose and has retreated to a mountain hideout. Capt. Stanley's proposition to Charlie is to gain pardon and - more importantly - save his beloved younger brother Mike from the gallows by finding and killing Arthur within nine days"
Written by Nick Cave, really enjoyed this, quite a dark film, great characters and score, really keeps you on edge throughout.
7/10
2) A Single Man - Colin Firth, Julianne Moore
"It's November 30, 1962. George Falconer, an English professor at a Los Angeles area college, is finding it difficult to cope with life. Jim, his partner of sixteen years, died in a car accident eight months earlier when he was visiting with family. Jim's family were not going to tell George of the death or accident, let alone allow him to attend the funeral.
This day, George has decided to get his affairs in order before he will commit suicide that evening. As he routinely and fastidiously prepares for the suicide and post suicide, George reminisces about his life with Jim. But George spends this day with various people, who see a man sadder than usual and who affect his own thoughts about what he is going to do."
This is wonderful, it looks amazing, it's a proper film, gives space for the dialogue and the character development, it's very human, one of the best I've seen in a long time.
9/10

Without doubt the worst film I have ever seen and the only film I have EVER walked out of the theatre in the middle of! I thought the first 5/10 minutes were ok purely because I thought it was a parody of all those other sEVERYONE knows this is a great film, do you still want a review?
