more movie ratings.

Quick reviews of some movies i watched on Dvds and cable recently. Frm here u can c hw free i am recently.

3:10 To Yuma - 4.25/5
The most recommended show i watched of the lot. I cannot believe its so good, the story is really smart and all the acting are really brilliant. After Unforgiven and The Good the bad and the Ugly, the next best cowboy movie i ever watch.

Failure To Launch - 2/5
Only for SJP lover, pretty boring chick flick.

Die Hard 4 - 4/5
Some really stunning action scenes, Len Wiseman should do more movie like this then concentrating on Underworld.

This Is England - 3.25/5
American History X British version. Not bad but I thought overrated.

Billy Eilliot - 3.5/5
Passed down from my dear friend Ade, not bad too but why for a ballet movie there is more tap dancing then ballet.

The Upside Of Anger - 4/5
I like this type of family drama alot, like Squid and the Whale and Royal Tenanbauems. This 1 is pretty good too.

Jaws 4.25/5
I cant believe for a film lover i only watched this till now. True to all the records, this movie really good and scary in its own way. Kickass.

Post Ord phobia.

Less then 1 month b4 ORD and I have begin to feel what most men going to ORD feel, Post Ord Phobia. Damn I am starting to panic about getting a job, never saw much job posting onlines. And I am starting to get pissed with most of the people around me recently, stop flying me assholes. And finaly and sadly, I missed Funny Games, it is screened down today. ARGH damn it.

Iron Man review


Director Jon Favreau (prev work Elf, Zathura)
Cast: Robert Downey Junior, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Daniels, Terence Howard
Rating 3.5/5

This is consider alright. I would consider it a mixture of Spiderman and Fantastic 4 which means a mixture of good and bad things. The good thing about the movie is the actors are really good and they do best in what they had to do in this type of movie, acting really cool and for the damsel in distress beautiful and pitiful (so rhyme).

For the first of the coming sequel, the movie introduce well to the background and origins of the superhero and how it came about. Thus this is the same good part of the movie that is similar to the first Spiderman, which I consider Spiderman 1 and especially 2 the best superhero movie ever. But for the bad part which is similar to Fantastic 4, it is more corny and more popcorn friendly for kids then grown up guys (the director had been making kids movies in the past) and the fight scene which fans wants to see most was not exciting and long enough. But no doubt it is a good start for the up and coming sequel.

And I want to share one irritating thing. I was watching this movie beside some fanatic idiots who keep shouting and getting excited all the time when something new appear, " fuck that is awesome upon seeing Iron Man first look, " Almost standing up and pointing to the screen shouting "Stan Lee, Stan Lee," when he appear in a cameo". Fuck You, he should be grateful I am a peaceful person if not I will give him a taste of my Iron FIst.
And I really like the ending btw. what a way to end.
