A heartbreaking 7.5/10

Watched this last night and up until half way it was like i had missed the beginning of the movie even though i hadnt but as you said it all becomes clear,very nice movie.

7/10

Body Of lies.

Another good movie about the cia and terrorist cells in the middle east.

8/10

X-Files: I Want To Believe.

After finally finishing off season 9 last night I started watching this hoping for loose ends to be tied up. No chance. It's basically a 1 1/2 hour standalone episode Does nothing for the continuation of the mytharc and in actual fact, not a great plot.

Really disappointed

2/10

I liked it! Admittedly, it was just a "long" episode but it was a good storyline. However, I'd say 6.5/10 as a full-price cinema movie and I wouldn't have paid cinema prices with hindsight. The prices are now so high that it's entering the equation when objectively reviewing a movie. £7.05 per adult plus over a fiver for a nachos combo meal. That's the best part of £30 for a couple to see a film

How much? I only ever go Orange Wednesday but even at peak rate, one ticket is only about £6. Never buy food there as it's a total rip off and not usually overly nice anyhow, I either don't eat anything in the cinema or take some chocolate with me.
So it can be quite inexpensive if you're careful


I liked The X-Files film too, I was pleased to see it had none of the mythology stuff in it as I found it grew a bit tiresome after 9 seasons worth.

I loved the X-files file, the fact it had been produced as a "monster of the week" style film only gave it plus points for me

Me and Mrs Dym went to see this the weekend before Chrimble and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It was slightly let down by the blue filter all the way through (was meant to make it look stylistic, but instead made it seem washed out all the time) and the fact that the vampires were about as scary as Pee Wee Herman

Seriously, he had a blimp for a head with a little bit of hair stuck to the top and completely CGI eyes!

His spam, I believe, gave Dawson 'SPAMHEAD' Leery's a run for its money!

And the fantastic piece of acting when he first saw Bella, the look was:

You make me so angry, so furious, so insensed with rage that I'M GOING TO LOOK LIKE I WANT TO THROW UP!

Class

Still thoroughly enjoyed the film though

You guys have seriously cheap cinema visits!

Lowest in London is normally around £8-9, and it cost £22.50 for me and Mrs Dym to see Twilight (although that was for a sofa )!

Definitely agree with not buying food there, spent a pound in the sweet shop next to the cinema for a few choccie bars

P.S. SPAMHEAD!

Don't you think though, that unless it's based on a TV show that was done on a small budget then it's impossible to think otherwise of any big screen to small screen crossover?

It depends really but I guess it's subjective - sometimes a film just seems "episodic" as though there will be another one along with the same basic premise, as though it's "templated" from some sort of cookie-cutter. A film will tend to have a more complex plot, more of an emphasis on the emotional content and the "mechanics" such as the actual acting, the score and production values, etc.

Incidentally, apologies Wossi - I didn't intend to pick your review apart

Lucky that we have a different perspective of 'sexy' Mr Dym

Ha ha! OK another... adding to JSB's review of:

Transporter 3

Please please!! Somebody stop him making these films!!! The first one was good, the second ok, but this one... diabolical and not helped by the following...

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

JS fishing, impossible stunt, pecs, annoying girl, pecs, impossible stunt, explosion, annoying girl, totally unecessary and cringeworthy 'love scene', pecs, explosion (repeat several times) JS fishing.

Frank would sooooooo not go for a broad like that?! OMG she was sooo ****ing annoying... I was |---| this close to walking out because of her!

Was glad it finished. Could have been about 30mins shorter with her scenes edited out.

T Bag from Prison Break was in it though and a good baddie.

I've told Rob to ditch the Fiat Coupe and get an Audi. The Fiat takes 2hrs to recover from damp, but the Audi took about 20mins to recover from full submersion in a lake. Superb!

End Spoiler Alert!

In a nutshell (lol) easy no brainer (certainly) explosion and man muscles (though he's getting a bit old now - baldy?!) film.

Just don't pay money to watch it

5/10 for the shiny car and the Inspector being funny.
