That is a brilliant film. I saw the full version in the cinema in Barcelona, it had an interval after the first two hours!

What,3 line reviews?

St.Trinian's girls ruled... :cool:

Though it varies a great deal from the book I found it very enjoyable and beautiful to watch. 4/5

Legend (1985), after the bleak utopian sci-fi of Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). Director Ridley Scott wanted to go in the opposite direction, into the direction of fantasy, inspired by the films of Disney, and this is what he came up with, and it's a shame he hasn't tried it again. Set in a fantastical land of long ago, it has the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry), wanting to kill the last two unicorns living in the wild, so that the sun will never shine again. Meanwhile, two young lovers, Jack (Tom Cruise) and Princess Lily (Mia Sara) become involved with the last two unicorns and inadvertently set off a chain of evens where the male unicorn's horn is stolen, and Princess Lily is kidnapped. So, Jack teams up with a fairy, an elf, and two dwarves to rescue the unicorn and Princess Lily before the Lord of Darkness casts the world into eternal darkness. It's such a beautiful film, albiet one with a troubled production history, (a soundstage burnt down, and Jerry Goldsmith's score was replaced by one from Tangerine Dream, Yes frontman Jon Anderson and Bryan Ferry!! :shock:), but it's still well made, and it came at a time when fantasy films really were in vogue, in the pre-CGI world where effects had to be done for real, it looks brilliant. It is a brillantly imagined piece with good performances, an endearing quaintness and Scott's flawless visual eye over proceedings. Oh, and have you noticed how this has unicorns in common with Blade Runner, coincidence?? ;) 4/5

Zack and Miri Make a Porno Good sweet comedy but while I like the title characters, it's the support characters that steal the show. Justin Long and Brandon Routh as the gay couple stand out but are only in it for a short time and Jason Mewes has most of the great lines. Overall it's good comedy but and one I will be getting on DVD just down to the fact that Kevin Smith does a great extras. 7/10

In my opinion, Pixar's best movie. The story is a genuinely touching one: an overprotective father (Marlin, a clownfish) strives to find his son Nemo after he is kidnapped by divers, but must also overcome his overbearing nature in order to let his son live his life to the full. On the way, he meets a variety of characters and dangers that also help him overcome his own fears. The vocal cast includes Albert Brooks as the over-protective Marlin; Ellen DeGeneres as the daffy but loveable Dory; Willem Defoe (Gill); Geoffrey Rush (Nigel the pelican); Barry Humphries, Eric Bana and Bruce Spence as three sharks trying to overcome their addiction to eating fish, and Alexander Gould as the voice of Nemo. The film is more perfectly realised than any animated film I've ever seen - the task of recreating the appearance of genuine ocean life must have been a daunting one for the Pixar team, but they manage to do it so well that a -*test*-('") reel showing a whale surfacing was totally indistinguishable from the real film that they were tasked to replicate. Without a doubt, though, the character that steals the show is Dory, the regal tang suffering from short-term memory loss who is also trying to help Marlin. There are times when you get so totally wrapped up in her persona that you forget you're watching an animated fish! A worthy winner of the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Film. Daz rating: :D:D:D:D:D A remake of a 1930 original (see, Hollywood were doing it all the way back then!!!), this sees Errol Flynn and David Niven playing RFC scout pilots tasked with trying to keep the newcomers alive while trying to keep themselves sane, only for Flynn's character to get the bum job of sending the kids up to their certain deaths when their CO (Basil Rathbone) gets promoted, straining his relationship with his best friend and squadron-mate. Recycling most, if not all, its predecessor's aerial footage doesn't seem to take any edge off the story at all - it's still a fine, enjoyable film, with great performances all round, and a genuine sense of camaraderie and loss between Niven and Flynn. One scene always sticks in my head - the morning after a heavy bout of drinking, David Niven's character comes downstairs to the mess, exhibiting sure sign of a hangover! As one of the NCOs goes off to bring in the new recruits (the camera following him as he goes), Niven and Flynn can be heard offscreen: "Court, have you ever seen mice on rollerskates?" "On bicycles, never on skates, old man." A brilliant little throwaway line, I think! Daz rating: :):):):) and a half. My tour of WW1 aviation comes to an end with Jack Gold's Aces High, starring Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Plummer and Peter Firth. Loosely based on R.C. Sherriff's play, Journey's End, with additional material from Sagittarius Rising, the film sees McDowell playing a disillusioned squadron leader whose la-*test*-('") recruit is a former school chum who idolises him, not realising that his friend isn't the hero he was made out to be at a school visit/recruitment drive. It's my personal favourite of all my WW1 films, since I've managed to get up close and personal to several of the aircraft used in the film (Stampes playing S.E.5s, plus replicas of the Fokker E.III and Avro 504). That aside, the aerial action is beautifully shot and very realistic. Human performances are excellent and very believeable (the additional squadron characters are the sort of blokes you'd have at your stag do!). Daz rating: :):):):):)

Aces High is awesome...Nice one Daz... :D

Choke Amusing dark comedy starring Sam Rockwell as a sexually obsessed colonial era theme park employee and part-time con man. It could of been a lot better but nevertheless its an enjoyable romp. 6/10
