You Don't Mess With The Zohan.

First off, it's an Adam Sandler movie, so if you can't stand him chances are you won't like this. His movies are hit and miss to me, luckily this was one of the good ones, very funny and had me literally laughing out loud at times.
Basic premise is, Sandler plays a top Israeli counter terrorist called Zohan who is fed up of the fighting and just wants to go to America to be a hairdresser. If you like Adam Sandler movies then watch this, it also has a few cameos from famous people and of course the usual lot are always in his movies.

8/10

Agreed. If you like Sandler then you should love this.
Also Rob Schneider is superb. The scene where he's on the phone to the Phantom made me laugh out loud. Gooaaaat!!!!

Hummus anyone?

I saw this at the weekend. I pretty much agree with what you've said, and although parts were funny I found some of the characters too abrasive. I had no sympathy for the Seth character whatsoever and although he gets most of the pratfalls it never really feels like he gets his just desserts. More like the cat that got the cream.

**** me, I should write for Empire with gold like that!

Edit: Oh yeah, 6/10. Could have been an amazing classic coming of age film but they made it too vulgar with too much of a disjointed story. Some very funny bits though, and great performances.

A couple of quick ones from me:


Quarantine
The worst parts of 28 days later & The blair witch project put together - two films that in their own right are superb.
Terrible film, boring plotline, doesn't go anywhere, very predictable.

1/10


Max Payne
Was expecting to love this film, was expecting it to be action packed like the game.
Was a little let down, however still a good storyline IMHO and the filming was acceptable.
Surprised about some of the cast, but was all good.
Could have been a little more gripping

6/10


Lakeview Terrace
Trust me, take a pillow if you plan on seeing this one, you'll be asleep within half an hour.
Does get into the "action" quite quickly, but the action just happens to be actionless.
Sammy L doesn't play a great part, the plot is thin and the reasoning behind the characters motives are just stupid.
This film could be shortened into a half hour episode of brookside.

I'd like to say the only saving grace of it was Sammy L being in it, but even that's a let down.

3/10

Zack and Miri make a Porno:

Much better than I was expecting, primarily as you start to care about both Zack and Miri as characters and that's something I wasn't expecting from this kind of film. There's also clearly a great camaraderie amongst the group making it much more believable than most other comedies similar to this.

Short review, being kicked off the PC .

Tropic Thunder

6/10

Was ok, nothing great though. I only stuck with the film to see more of Tom Cruise and I really like Robert Dowey Jr's character.

We Own The Night

Police drama

8/10 Bought on a whim and it's well worth it, a couple of the characters are a bit one dimensional but generally very well done.

How come they weren't blown away?" kind of thing.

I think... it could have been a goodish film had they properly established the plot line and built more on the characters. The foundation was kind of there... it just was done pooply! You didn't get to know the characters and if you hadn't seen the first (which I haven't fully and what I have seen of it was years ago), it was a bit like "wtf? Where are they? Who are they fighting? Why? What's on?".

Poor. Poor acting, poor scripting, poor every-ma-fink.

2/10



I just want to see a good film now! It's been too long!!

Watch the original. Starship Troopers is a classic.

[NokkonWud]

Surely she must have seen the first? It's, as you say, a classic.

Rollerball

Starring

• Chris Klein
• Jean Reno
• LL Cool J
• Rebecca Romijn-Stamos

Futuristic sport film

5/10 It's rubbish and yet strangely entertaining, perhaps because it is so bad it's kind of watchable. Any film that stars Chris "I wish I could emote as well as Keanu Reeves" Klein, you just know is going to be more wooden than your average forest but if you can leave your brain at the door you might enjoy it.
