c4 :thinking:

 

[Tenebrae]

I watched the trailer for "the covenant" and it honestly looks like the stupidest thing imaginable. Cars disassembling into a mass of CGI and then reassembling... and all with the backdrop of handsome teens.

 

Saw 3 will be funny - oh yes, there will be twists!

[Cypha01]

Pans Labyrinth seems to be the only one that might actually be good, I really dislike most modern films though so hopefully that one will please me.

[psheldrake1]

 

Another waist of film

[Moonstalker]

Saw Crank - If you go into the movie expecting much plot, then what color is the sky on your world? If you went expecting a lot of mindless action, you got more than your money's worth. Mindless entertainment but entertaining.

 

Jet Li's Fearless is your typical Jet Li movie. If you like Li or martial arts, then worth a watch. Otherwise, read a book.

 

 

[bones2097]

fearless i saw that 2 years ago!!!!!

in english too!!! it abit like hero.... ok

 

i wana see crank though..:) & rocky.... damn ithought i had the complete collection..!!!!

 

keeping mum , even though it has the bean, it a cr@py film (saw that a year ago too)....

 

 

what saw 3????? i still ain't seen the first one... got it lying around the house some where.... :o

[Tenebrae]

Fearless was pretty weak, really - it just didn't have enough bang for your buck... It was ok but really it could have been half an hour long because the plot added hardly anything to the film. At least, in my opinion.

[Antilles]

Rocky Balboa, are they calling it that coz they ran out of numbers from the previous films! :)
