Nah, I reviewed it a few thousand pages back. I had pretty much the same opinion - I actually turned it off because I had something better to do.
What have I watched?

"Paul, get your knob out!" had all the childish minds in the room giggling (three of us).
Anyway, classic Disney mix of live action, fantasy and cartoon. I saw it a few times at the cinema when I was younger and always loved it. The film is actually really long, and quite dull at the start - but it's all made up for towards the end.
I enjoyed it, Maxi-Minor_Furie (at four) enjoyed it and Minor_Furie (13) and cousin-of-minor_furie (12) enjoyed it. Definite hit then! 4/5

Bit of an odd one this. It's not really something I have a lot of interest in, but obviously a lot of people on here have been talking about how great it is, and it's worth broadening your horizons for a good film.
So, from a straight point of view? It was "pretty good". Obviously the subject matter doesn't mean quite as much to me, so a degree of the pain and heartache of the film is lost. However, the thing that really stuck out was how uncomfortable a lot of the cast seemed to feel. There wasn't really any "heat" between them. There was just a lack of passion, which made the actors seem a little false in their roles.
Other than that though, the film was well put together with some genuinely great performances. It wasn't outstanding, but certainly was good. Taking into account the fact that it's not really my cup of tea - 8/10.
Last night I watched Once upon a time in Mexico. I loved the cheese filled Desperado. This was pretty tosh though. Tough to follow plot to give them an excuse to shoot things - which they didn't really do. Depp was annoying, and the whole film was just badly edited and lacked directorial finesse. Must try harder! 6/10 if you like films, 10/10 if you like to see people shooting other people in various and glorious ways!

It just all seemed very "friendly" rather than hot and filled with passion. Kind of like how you see self conscious people "petting" in public - rather than how people are more in a new relationship in private. It was just the kissing really, there didn't seem to be enough connection between the participants. Maybe I just wasn't seeing it? :lol:

The Final Destination 3D has gone straight to number one in the box office and is bringing in almost three times the amount that Inglorious Basterds (at number 2) is.
Quite surprising actually.

^Final Destination is great because it doesn't take itself seriously. It makes it more fun and people going in to watch the film know what to expect. Saw is good as well and the people that say it's lame or rubbish are most likely those that say that the Saw films are just an excuse for loads of blood and guts. But if you actually watch the films and follow the story it's actually a very well thought out and filmed set of movies. Plus that fact that there's hardly any blood shown at all in each film.

All Final Destinations go like this:
Crap intro, bit of crap cheesy story, death here, crap story, death there, random crap, another death, another death here & finale drowned in crap acting.
All SAW film's go like this:
Crap beginning, Crap story, Crap traps all over the place, utterly predictable & crap twist followed by crap finale.
Expect this from the next SAW films too.
