6/10

I absolutely loved that film as the music and dancing was fantastic and the lead female was beautiful. It was much better than the first film too. I'd give it a 9/10 as, for me, I've never seen a better dancing movie.

Starship Troopers 2

What a completely utterly bizarre and random film! It was very VERY flakey! The things that didn't make sense was relentless. I was like "Eh!? How come he was crawling on the floor due to high winds and nearly being blown away and then the other trooper people jump over him and shoot some bugs? 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!!

This is a rare case where the third movie is actually better than the second, I was sooooooo disapointed with the second movie. In addition to your points the film is also filmed almost entirely in the dark which doesn't help what would have helped is if the entire screen had benn black for 90 minutes and the sound hadn't worked either because 90 minutes of nothing would be better than ST2 was.

LOL!!

Nice summary!

There's a third?! And it's good?! Or is it just "better than the second" because the second couldn't get much worse?!

Pray do tell whether I should avoid or try it!?

I don't pay much for the movies I watch so for me it was worth a look, its a lot better than the second but not a patch on the first, if you were a big fan of the first I'd give it a look, its not big budget but the effects are a lot better than the second.

Eagle Eye

Enemy of the state for the 21st Century. Very gadgety and quite a fun film, some huge holes in the plot, some chains of events that simply have too many random elements to be planned, as you as a viewer are expected to believe they are... Some very simply options/activities in the film deliberately overlooked and ignored. Basically a remove brain before pressing play action movie for gadget fans... That said, for an action movie, IMO the action is particularly poorly shot, as some of it moves so quickly youre left wondering who just died in that car crash and who got shot, etc...

Still i enjoyed it, but that could be because im off work today in a Snow related unplanned holiday, 6/10

Whilst folding cards and packing them today I watched a classic every woman always gasps at me for not seeing.

Dirty Dancing

*dons hockey goal keeper gear* In all honesty... it's a good film but nothing I would completely and utterly rave about. I can see the attraction of it - it has a cute story line and it's very idealistic and romantic, and there are some awesome dance moves going on. But (yes there's a but) the ending was a bit flat and I was kind of expecting more bulk to the build up to the main peoples romance! I was like "oh... okay!" It was evident she was gagging but I just didn't see him fall in love if you know what I mean

I can see why any girls could fall in love with it though as it is your perfeck love story

Acting wise I thought was pretty awesome! I find most films of that kind of age a little bit wooden but I thought Patrick Swayzeeeeeee did an awesome job! It's quite amazing how he can break out some of those moves in such tight pants without grimacing!!

Maybe it's because I'm not a girly girl girl that I didn't appreciate it 100% and the added fact I wasn't paying enough attention whilst folding/counting/packing cards

Still, it was good and enjoyable and I'd watch it again! Very much a Sunday afternoon film with hot chocolate, cake and a duvet!

7/10

Also watched (I've been dealing with a big order today so muchos folding)...

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Forgot how much this film makes me chuckle - especially Rowan Atkinson! The characters are awesome and the story is fantastic!! It's a good pace, it's entertaining, it's romantic and yet not sickly so and just top notch.

Have to admit, I think it's a once a year/every two year film but I liked it!

If you haven't seen this and you don't appreciate Hugh Grants typical styled character (floppy hair, an air of arrogance, dry humour, posh-stuttery accent and the fact he's made out to be some God for Women...) don't watch it, you'll hate it

It's your olden day Love Actually


7.75/10

[A Place of Light]

Dirty Dancing (see above)

A good ending to a mediocre movie, IMHO.

I love Four Weddings and a Funeral Great film. Love the scene with John Hannah reading the poem at the funeral despite being incredibly sad.

Dirty Dancing's never appealed to me one bit so doubt I'll ever get round to seeing it.

Clockers

Starring

• Harvey Keitel
• John Turturro
• Delroy Lindo
• Mehki Phifer

Film about 24 hour drug dealers in the Projects

7/10 Not a particularly easy watch and certainly not a feel good film in the conventional sense. Good performances though and there's a slight message of hope in there.

and again. How did you manage that? I thought it was obligatory for all females to watch this film and Grease before the age of 12 at the risk of being excommunicated from the flock that is womanhood. From what I've seen of Dirty Dancing you aren't missing much but I'm stunned you've managed to miss it entirely.
