    1. The Matrix the first one cause it explains everything.

    2. Battle Royale totally sick but brilliant at the same time great effects and great ending can't wait for squelle on DVD.

    3. Jay and Silent Bob strike back totally funny and a great cast like Matt Damon, Chris Rock, Ben Affleck, Jamie Kenndy, The Tyme and Jay and Silent Bob themselves.

    im not making a poll because everyones would vary and i could only make ten choices but not every one wolud have at least one in thier own top three.

    also just don't read peoples choices and leave type in yours people do care like Spielberg, Lucas and all the other old fat directors who have passed thier time also E.T. sucked everyone knows if you make a great great movie your going to screw up the squelle sad but true apart for The Matrix and The Godfather.

    What has this got to do with film reviews?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 ghost of bail


    it reviews how well movies have done also i forgot to exit this area before posting sorry also i told people to leave thier opinions but they dont why oh why oh God why battle royale is cool


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭ObeyGiant


    This isn't a film review, so it should be out on the regular "Films" board, just like the countless other "Favourite film/slasher/badguy/comedy/horror/<whatever>" threads. There's already a "Favourite movies" thread going on right now, just seven threads from the top.

    fine how about this for a review t3 see's arnie fighting the terminatrix a new advance one that came on the day of the apocalypse to kill john or whatever you call him which is stupid cos you could just kill the mom or an ancestor of the leader john when they where a kid when people had real crappy weapons to fight against him. so its a trilogy and trilogys historiesare obvious it always happens its the last so it can only turn out two ways everyone is ok and starts singing caberaaaaaaaaaaaa... or the apocalypse.

    the matrix revalations will end with the super brawl and final showdown with Neo and former agent Smith hours away from the end of Xyion when the machines are digging to the core.

    sinbad see brad pitt and zeta jones on a leaky boat after some supernatural thing or treasure are they may find a pile of old dust (michal douglas) well nortan is right...

    jason vs. freddy see Jason voorhees of cystal lakes the massmurderer of hundreds (the teen in a hockey mask friday the 13th you cant really call it a trilogy cos thier is about nine of them . facing off against freddy hmm... i wonder which freddy...

    this must be in the past cos in Jason X it is based in the future when jason is frozen and reanimated on a spaceship and just guess what happens. well freddy and jason can end or begin in three ways

    1. they join up and start a kick ass kicking spree
    2. they disagree fighting each other
    3.they meet up and in the end die with each other

    one thing that makes me curious is jason is somewhat human for he is alive in the movies plain while freddy kills in the persons sleep so how do they manage to meet up if thier in different plains of exsistance the conious and the sub conious.

    also why did kelly rowland release the apparant song for this movie months before its release kelly rowland is in this movie. i am looking forward to it.

    also please can someone tell me grand theft auto the movie rated pg spawned the game tril rated 18 it just does not make sense.

    1. Hana-Bi
    Classic Kitano film. Has everything: story, emotion, comedy and disturbing violence (chop-stick jammed in the eye is a lot more violent on screen than Neo tooled-up). Very little dialog but says more than any hollywood crap!

    2. 2001
    Nothing to say on this one.

    3. Seven Samurai
    Thought this was the greatest film when I saw it on video and still excellent when saw it on big screen in IFC. The reviews say it all!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭ChumpStain


    1) The Shawshank Redemption
    2) The Usual Suspects
    3) American History X

    There not exactly the most upbeat of films but hey they stuck with me weeks after I saw them.
