You think? The gay guy he played in Zack and Miri didn't really seem very goofy to me.

An odd character but not at all Adam Sandler-esque imo!
Can sorta see your point with Dodgeball but I've still never really thought of them as similar

More that the parts/characters were goofy, not that they were particularly akin.

Ahh fair enough

Just read your synopsis Belmit, couldn't agree more!

And Accepted.

All three good films - I still think that Zack and Miri is possibly the best Kevin Smith film.

Terminator Salvation

9/10

Epic - loved every second of it. Not your typical "Terminator" film like the previous ones but refreshing for it. Good plot with many superb action films and really conveyed the gritty nature of the war against the machines.

Basically echo everything Garp said about it - not much point repeating it all here. Ignore the so-so reviews and go see it - you won't be disappointed, unless you were just expecting a rerun of T1/2.

Juno

Nicely crafted story, really well acted and nice to see a subject not talked about a lot in film. Ellen Page pretty much acts everyone off the screen, though JK Simmons and Michael Cera turn in decent performances as her dad and 'boyfriend' respectively.

Enjoyed it, but it was spoilt a little by the godawful soundtrack which is pretty much made up of songs that sound like they were written and performed by people who had only been told what music was and had never actually heard it. At best, they're like syruppy adult nursery-rhymes. The one over the animated opening credits was OK but before long I started to realise they were in every other scene and it became quite a distraction, as did the team of runners who bookend half the external shots.

Without Ellen Page this film probably would have fallen at the wayside as it needed her performance to shine like it did. Jennifer Garner does deserve a nod though for playing the baby-obsessed thirty-something. Her neurotic performance made me feel quite uncomfortable at times. Shame the writers/director didn't give her anything decent to work with towards the end when it felt like she needed to be far more emotional than she was. Considering her performance up until that point I was expecting something explosive, but she just kind of fizzled out.

7/10 for the film, 9/10 for Ellen Page's performance.

Drag Me To Hell.

Funniest night for a while. Sat in a packed cinema with a load of welsh people and Paul! Mass hysteria put me on the edge of my seat the whole film but also laughing the whole time. It didn't help that I was sat next to a very large welsh man who was terrified and coming out with funny lines.

Lady in film: The spirit! He's coming!
Man next to me in terrified welsh voice: Tell him to go away!

Well worth a watch!
