You gave NCFOM the same score as Saw IV? 
Wow  |
So? Genre might be different, but I liked both movies. Not comparable, but "fun-factor" (or whatever it´s called) was same. |

Last zombie movie I really enjoyed was Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake). It was just made so well.

@ chiv : who knows maybe dog soldiers 2 will surprise us and we will find ourselves both rating it 10 
Decoys : 7/10 ... it's a very light horror movie without an astounding story, but i found it quite enjoyable
Decoys 2 : 5/10 ... boring sequel

No Country For Old Men - Loved it.
9/10
A lot of haters of this movie because it doesn't follow the standard movie cutout. Depressing but good

no country for old men. fucking brilliant movie. the action sequences are so good and brutally realistic. might be a bit slow paced for some, but i loved the story and there are so many good characters in this one.

Sunshine. 7/10
I really didn't like the entire twist with the bad guy. they strove to be serious up to the moment the bad guy appeared.His character did not belong to this movie.
Also all this open space thingies: come one they invite NASA consultants trying to stay correct but still don't show. that greatest threat to a human is low pressure and cold is not as important.
Also I don't buy Cillian Murphy as experienced physicist , probably the best on dying planet.

Well IMO he really belongs in the movie as the opposite of science, as a more religious fanatic who oppose everything the crew on Icarus are about. Also take note how the sun appears as the most divine thing in the universe and how fragile we all become when we near it Pinbacker came way to close and lost his mind.

Contact - 9.5/10
this movie is 10 years old but everytime I watch it, it just seems updated to the present world, truly a masterpiece

 Spoiler: | How in the world a man burnt that much can survive alone for years, why in the world he became that strong, why all this blurriness when showing him. If their intention was to counter science with his character, there should not be anything mysterious about him. They should have shown him as a regular crazy religious fanatic screwing up things and not like embodiment of demon or angel or whatever. |
You do agree, that Cillian Murphy doesn't look like physicist.

| Spoiler: | What is physical possible should not be discussed in Sunshine, the mission gets alot more spiritual as the Icarus approach the sun more and more, thus he is the last stand of religious fanatism and act as a protector of the sun, the blurryness and strength is to alienate him from the rest of the mankind. Its an awesome way to reinforce the religious and philosophic values in the movie. Though unfortunately alot view it as a classic trick to turn it into a regular slasher. |
Cilian is great in everything he makes, I saw credibility in the character though the biggest surprise in the film is how Chris Evan elevated himself from a plain "american boy-toy actor" to something with a little more depth.
And yea I Am Legend sucked balls.

I was also biased about him...and still am. The moment he cut his hair in the movie I saw that flair boy in him from the fantastic 4. And the sun theme of the movie only added to it.
I got the same feeling when I saw that idiotic ad poster for "Everything is illuminated" of Elijah Wood in those blue specs, and that's exactly after Elijah Wood with specs in Sin City. The association is inevitable. But movies are absolutely different.Here's the same.Do they do it on purpose? Are they running out of other actors in Holywood?
WTF the actors should be older to add to the credibility of this movie. There's no love sequencies in this one, so what's the point in youth of actors? |

Well as long as film is bound by studios you will always have to deal with well known actors getting cast. But its how Directors use them, Heath Ledger as the new joker in "The Dark Knight" seems bizarre and just plain stupid but rather it seems like the greatest idea ever when you actually see the trailer and read about Ledgers struggle to become the joker.
Danny Boyle had to have Chris Evans but tied him in a more unusual role and I really think he did a good job (as did Rodriquez with Wood in Sin City)

My thoughts too.
Alien & Aliens are the King & Queen of all creature movies.
No country for old men 8 of 10 (The last 15-20 min dropped the rating)

| Spoiler: | my own personal explanation is that by sitting there soaking up the sun he became some sort of uber plant, and was able to survive on the suns rays alone. hes like super vitamin D man. Freaky shit if you ask me. |

NeXT - 7/10 Good all around movie. I'm kind of upset I put this movie off for so long due to the reviews on this board. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!
Evolution - 6/10 Entertaining. Funny movie. Just what I needed. Story progression was kind of weak, Seann William Scott was... well, will he ever be anyone but Stifler?
2 movies that made me realize that I shouldn't listen to other people's opinions.

Well conidering i watched aliens like a gazzilion times, i was somewhat let down by the quality of the hd film.
I do like the film very much, to me its just the action sequences when i look in todays perspective arent anymore as enjoyable as the later movies.
Ofcourse when i watched the movie the first time on VHS, i was blown away by it, but 15 years later....its starting to show its age.
Thats why a 7/10

The story of aliens and alien and alien3 is way better than te crap they came up with in avp. But the action sequences are just as good. And when i go and watch an alien movie, thats preety much all i care about, since the story in 1 shape or another will e the same..isolated place, with a handful of humans vs whatever.
So yes, i really do think if you skip avp's beggining and close your eyes on the rediculous pyramid mumbo jumbo, avp is just as good as aliens, alien etc.
TBH my favourite movie of the alien franchise is aliens and aliens: ressurection.
For the Motherland!

u rated aliens a 7... wow... ive seen a lot of bad ratings here but thats just the worst rating ever... and you also put a dent in the rating based on quality? come on... the visuals are on par and many times BETTER than some of the cheap and synthetic looking crap that comes out today... the acting, the story, the sequences were intense...hell, i still say the rifles in that movie were the best designed and coolest looking weapons that ive ever seen in a film...
i dunno.. i just guess if it isnt spider-man 3 and isnt loaded with 200 million dollars worth of cgi and shitty acting, people just instinctively dont like it much...

Apparently a sequel is already in the works so hopefully it is good. 6.9/10 and 500 votes on IMDb by people who have only seen it at the film festival during midnight madness so that is promising.
