So after the first two rounds the purple tin leads the pack with Irish Aris only 1 point behind him in second. Necro and spook are both currently in third place. At the other end of the table Kolido hasn't had the greatest of starts but with two movies left to go anything is still possible.

I was curious about how to do tables so, here tis.



SawDuck, I'll pm you and you add the scores between my pipe marks. BTW it doesn't add the scores for you.

Thank you purgative that looks much better, I should be able to add the scores for the next two rounds into it,cheers. I am hopeless when it comes to stuff like this haha. Next round should be someday next week I have 3 more movies to watch first.

Round 3 will arrive tomorrow, aiming for 8pm
It was a dark round of movies full of horrific leg injuries,eye gauging,strangling, dogs being killed,kids being killed and a very painful magic trick. You people are twisted
It was probably the best round yet

In 7th place with 5 points is
The Desperate Hours


Heard of it: No
Seen it: No
Overall score 8.0
Based on a novel Joseph Hayes, this film stars Humphrey Bogart as the leader of a trio of escaped convicts who take a family hostage in their own home. The reason they choose this particular family is because they saw a kids bike out front and figured the family would give them no hassle. Fredric March plays the father who tries his best to keep his family from harm. At one point the family manage to trick the convicts and get them out of the house but the little kid leaves the house and ends up in the criminal's grasp (stupid little brat). A very enjoyable movie and one i had not even heard of before
My favourite thing about this movie: Bogart as a baddie, least favourite thing is the little brat

In 6th place with 6 points is
Misery


Heard of it: Yes
Seen it: Yes
Overall rating 8.1
The fact that this movie is placed this low just shows how strong this round is. Based on Stephen Kings novel, this movie stars Kathy Bates in her most iconic role, the bat**** crazy Annie Wilkes. A novelist crashes his car, injuring his legs badly and is rescue by his biggest fan in the world Annie Wilkes. She nurses him and keeps him cut off from the rest of the world, as time passes, and when she learns that he plans to kill off his main character she freaks out and demands that he rewrite his latest novel. The most famous scene is the hobbling scene which is pretty gruesome to watch but apparently it's a bit different in the book she actually chops off his foot. George Roy Hill was hired to direct it but pulled out due to that particular scene, and many actors turned down the role of the main character paul, including Dustin Hoffman, Harrison Ford and Al Pacino. A thrilling and very enjoyable movie indeed.
My favourite thing about this movie: The brilliant lunatic Annie Wilkes, played by the wonderful Kathy Bates.

In 4th place with 8 points is
The Thing


Hear of it:Yes
Seen it: Yes
Overall score 8.4
John Carpenter's fantastic remake of the 1951 movie The Thing from Another World is one hell of an enjoyable movie and one you could re-watch over and over again. Burt Lancaster's son wrote the screenplay and the legendary Ennio Morricone is in charge of the music score. The film stars Kurt Russell as a member of a research group stationed in Antarctica who take in a stranded dog who unbeknownst to them is an extra-terrestrial life-form. There is some iconic and pretty gruesome scenes in this movie, perhaps the most memorable one involves a defibrillator. This isn't just a great sci-fi movie it's also a fantastic thriller, as each member of the group becomes paranoid and lose trust in each other. When this was made back in 1982 it was a complete flop, but over time it has become a cult classic loved by almost everyone.
My favourite thing about this movie: It's a fun movie full with memorable moments and one you can rewatch and never tire of.

In 3rd place with 9 points is
Strangers on a Train


Heard of it: Yes
Seen it: Yes
Overall score 8.4(and a half)
This is probably my third favourite Alfred Hitchcock film, after Psycho and my personnel favourite Rear Window. Two men meet on a train and start a conversation, one of the guys is going through a messy divorce and because he is a famous tennis pro, his personnel problems are all over the newspapers. The other guy(a genuine creepy psychopath who has a bad relationship with his father) suggests that they help each other out by swapping murders, the tennis pro would kill psychopath's dad and psychopath kills tennis pro's wife. The tennis thinking it's just a joke leaves without really giving an answer. Like every great Hitchcock film thing take a dark turn when the tennis players wife is killed, the killing scene itself is incredibly done(we see it in the reflection of her glasses, which have fallen to the ground). A fantastic thriller with some memorable scenes that will stick with you for a while after.
My favourite thing about this movie: It's a great tense movie with beautiful camera work by one of the greatest directors of all time.

In joint second with 10 points each are and
The Dark Knight

Overall score: 8.9
Is this the best comic book movie, yeah probably. This is(i think) the only movie in this competition that i actually watched in the cinema. It was packed and i can remember that i didn't want the movie to end, it was so damn entertaining. It begins with a heist and introduces the best character and mastermind being the heist the joker. Every scene that comes after just seems to get better and better, and it is full of so many quotable lines. It also boosts one hell of a cast from Michael Caine to Morgan Freeman, but it's the two leads that really impress. Christian Bale as the hero Batman, brings a dark moody presence and of course Heath Ledger, who sadly died before the film was complete but end up winning an oscar for his role. Director Chris Nolan actually offered the role of batman to Heath Ledger before he offered it to Bale. At one point the Joker says to Batman " i think you and me are destined to do this forever " and he is right they always will and i'm sure there will be more movie of these two battling in the future but no one will ever leave the same impact that Bale and Ledger did.
My favourite thing about this movie: Heath Ledgers iconic performance

In first place with 11 points is
City of God

This film was a clear winner this round. I absolutely love this film i have it on dvd and have seen it many times even though it can be pretty brutal. The film is set in the slums Rio de Janeiro and follows a boy named Rocket as he grows from young kid to teen to young adult. He has dreams of escaping life in the slums and becoming a professional photographer. He narrates the story and introduces characters he knew growing up, including the tender trio and a kid named Li'l Dice who is sadistic, these four plan a robbery which goes horribly and the aftermath puts all their lives in danger. As he grows up Li'l Dice becomes the most powerful drug dealer in the slums and eventually clashes with pretty much everyone due to his erratic behaviour. Rocket gets caught up in the middle of the gang wars and fears for his life. This was the first ever foreign film i watched and it opened my eyes that foreign language films are brilliant, if you have never seen this i highly recommend it.
My favourite thing about this movie: Everything! Seriously it's so damn good.

[/TABLE]

Necro takes over at the top, with Shane shooting up the leader board after winning round 3, Aris and spookie are joint third. At the other end kolido is still last but he is catching up to both Liz and Reberetta. With one round left to go anything can happen

Cheers to Purgative for helping with the table, it looks so much better than the mess i originally had

The final round of movies have all been watched and i plan on revealing the final scores next week, hopefully Monday. It's incredibly close at the top and so many people still have a chance at winning. Who will walk away with the gold? Find out next week.

Alright ready to go! I enjoyed everyone's movie picks for this final round. I will start in mid table before focusing on those battling for the Golden Raspberry Wooden spoon at the bottom of the table before finally turning our attention to the top of the overall leaderboard, where five competitors are still tussling for victory. There was also a duplicate this round.

In 6th place with 6 points is
The Peanut Butter Falcon

This is a delightful movie, it's about a young man named zak who has down syndrome and dreams of becoming a wrestler. After escaping from his care home he hides out on a boat owned by tyler(played by the somewhat strange Shia LaBeouf). Tyler has problems of his own, he clashes with some other fishermen and ends up destroying their equipment which leads to him having to go on the run. After a rocky start, tyler takes zak under his wing and even decides to bring him to his wresting hero the Saltwater Redneck. A caretaker from zaks care home tracks them down and the trio become friendly with one another, she ends up risking her career just so zak can live his dream. A great movie that will leave you laughing, crying and cheering for the characters.
My favourite thing about this movie: Zak, a fantastic character played brilliantly by new comer Zack Gottsagen

Chapter 2
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Wooden spoon

With kolido now on 18 points he needs either Reberetta or liz to finish lower than him, who will walk away with the spoon

In 9th place with 3 points is

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

Overall score: 7.0
This movie always delivers a good laugh. Featuring a great cast full of some of the funniest African American actors of the late eighties/early nineties. After his brother dies from overdosing on gold chains, solider Jack Spade returns home. Jack is played by Keenen Ivory Wayans, who not only acts in this movie but also directs it and wrote it. Jack teams up with local hero John Slade played by the legend Bernie Casey. Together they recruit a team of misfits to try take down the local criminal Mr. Big, who Jack blames for his brother's death. Some of the funniest moments in this were, jacks mother fighting off the criminals but you could clearly see it was a stunt double complete with moustache and all, the two goons hired by mr.big who always get thrown down the stairs and Chris Rock trying to buy one single rib. This is a great parody of the blaxploitation films of the 1970s
My favourite thing about this movie: The complete silliness of it and the great cast.

Reberetta finishes on an overall score of 17 points, he now has one hand on the wooden spoon. If liz finishes in 8th it will be a tie at the bottom otherwise the wooden spoon is all Reberetta's

Chapter 3
V for Victorious: or how i learned to stop worrying and love the walrus

The top five still in contention to win this are
Necro
Shane
Irish Aris
spookie
purple tin

We also had a duplicate this round, Purgative chose the same as one of the top five and will be looking to finish this game off with a high placement.

Unfortunately for one of the hopefuls, they could only manage to finish in 7th place and cannot win, let's find out who that is

In 4th place with 8 points is

The Straight Story

I heard of this film but i knew very little about it, and i have to say this was a pleasant surprise. It stars Richard Farnsworth as an elderly man who, after finding out his brother has suffered a stroke decides to visit him after years of refusing to talk to one another. His brother lives in a different state so he has to travel a fair distance, however because of his age and failing eyesight he cannot drive. He refuses to accept a lift from others and instead sets out on his ridable lawn mower and hitches a trailer to it. Along his journey he meets many characters who all seem to take a liking to this man, one person he meets is a war veteran and the two men speak about their experiences in world war 2 which turns into a very emotional confession. The amazing Sissy Spacek plays his daughter, who suffers from learning disabilities and after an incident had her children taking away from her. This movie was a roller-coaster of emotions but the main characters drive to reconcile with his brother was admirable and lead us on a beautiful journey.
My favourite thing about this movie: I loved the beautiful sweet way in which the characters acted towards each other and Richard Farnsworth in particular.



the purple tin finishes with an overall score of 29 points, not quiet enough to win

In 3rd place with 9 points each are and
As Good As It Gets

This has got to be one of Jack Nicholson's greatest movies. In this he plays a grumpy guy named Melvin who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and is rude to pretty much everyone he meets. One of his neighbours a gay artist called simon, whom melvin often insults, is beaten up badly and can't take care of his dog. Simons agent forces Melvin to look after the dog, much to melvins dismay. He eventually bonds with the dog, the two sharing a connection. Melvin frequently visits a restaurant, where the staff try to avoid him apart from one woman, carol (played by Helen Hunt). Carol has problems of her own, her son is often sick and she ends up deciding to quit her job, this upsets melvin and he attempts to pay for her sons medical bills in order for carol to return to the restaurant. This movie shows how three completely different people(and one dog) can come together, even if they drive each other insane.
My favourite thing about this movie: The fantastic script by James L. Brooks, full of incredible quotes such as,
"People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch."
Melvin's compliment to carol "You Make Me Want To Be A Better Man"
Melvin to random people in a waiting room “What if this is as good as it gets?”


Puragtive finishes on 25 points, while Irish Aris scores 32 points.
