    While I didn't hate it, it didn't get any emotion out of me whatsoever and I'm usually one to to get a bit soppy (Source Code, Warrior had me in tears lol). For this reason it failed on me, as clearly the aim is to get you emotional. I was not a big fan of War Horse but even that got my eyes watering.

    5/10
    It's a coming of age film about a young Jewish boy with a disability who loses his father, played by Tom Hanks, in 9/11.

    I would have eaten both my balls raw if it hadn't gotten a nomination.

    The confrontation (and moments proceeding) with Thorwald in Rear Window is Hitchcock, and suspenseful cinema, at its very finest. Just a phenomenal film that doesn't get stale no matter how many times I watch it.

    Did quite a few Hitchcock films during HS, as I did those Media classes for a few years. Psycho, The Birds, North By Northwest, and I think Dial M for Murder. Rear Window never came up

    And of course, this generation of casual film watchers will never watch a film from the 50s/60s. I have a few friends that watch quite a bit of film, and I reckon there is a combined maybe 3 complete Hitchcock films viewings. They might have maybe seen Psycho and possibly The Birds. So there you can't say on a movie night, hey lets watch a Hitchcock film. Would be greeted with a room of deathstares

    Warrior: 9/10.

    Excellent film. Really the only let down was the ending, which was way too hollywood compared to the actual film itself. Hated people complaining about the 'realism' of the film, when it is pretty clear it is more about the human condition than it is about MMA, the MMA was a backdrop for two seperate stories about brothers who were facing their own problems.

    Nolte was great, but IMO both leads were amazing, so convincing in their portrayal. Also, I know this is a minor thing, but they nailed the accents considering Hardy is English and Edgerton is Australian.

    YOU ONLY JUST SAW IT!!??

    Great fucking film, bought it on bluray the other day, will watch again soon

    Gone - 7.5/10

    Pleasantly surprised, Athomas was right , really enjoyed this flick from start to finish, kept me interested the whole time, never any slow spots, no dumbass ending which I was expecting, also Amanda Seyfried dem eyes

    Good solid movie, nothing groundbreaking, but the fact that it's on 12% on rottentomatoes perplexes me...

    I watched it today with a mate Hardy and Edgerton were brilliant, the movie covered the whole family separation issue perfectly.

    I'd give it about a 7.4/10

    The Three Musketeers

    5/10

    It's only a five because of Gabriella Wilde
    "Homie, maybe we should go inside."

    "But, Marge, that little guy hasn't done anything yet. Look at him. He's going to do something and you know it's going to be good."

    Glad to see someone agreed, was worried I was going to be on my own with this one. There's no slow spots at all which was great!

    Saw Carnage tonight, was a pretty average movie but it was kind of a date so I made the most of it.

    If you are 35+ go see it. If you are not, don't. Is how I would sum it up!

    Hard to like a movie when they don't leave the room for the WHOLE MOVIE. I don't care if that's a spoiler, you guys deserve to know that!

    5/10
