Hellboy 2

I enjoyed this, not nearly as shiny or well acted as dark knight, but a fine movie nonetheless.

Just found an r5 of hellboy 2 so I'm sweeping it now.

Editz for linky not working and me not having a clue why.

/mod edit
using HTML codez fixes it

Clearly, not good linking though

Cheers for that though

T'would appear that the bit in brackets spacks the bb codez.

Hannibal Rising
Not bad, but a bit slow.

I thought it was a pleasant enough diversion for 2 hours (or however long it is), but not much to write home about.

I agree. The potential coolness of all the monsters didn't see to hit home for me and I was disappointed that they didn't have Niles Crane as the voice for Abe Sapien this time. Also very little John Hurt.

Overall I preferred the first one. The princess was nice to look at though.

Think how much he'd have hurt if he was Very Big John though.

Doomsday - Scottish mad max/28 days later/other films knock off. Rhona Mitra (that bird who was the stand around doing nowt model for Lara Croft a while back) has an eye that she can take out her head. It has tits, and guns, and gimps and cars and medieval fighting and bob hoskins and spikes and cannibalism and ugly suppurating pustules from an unstoppable virus.

It's thoroughly shit, but excellent too. Well worth a sweep.

6/10

If Christopher Walken had been involved and if he'd been sporting a frankly insane hair do it would have scored eleven, it's that close to being a classic.

Death Race (2008)

Jason Statham playing the same chap he does in every movie.

Oh, and this is <i>not</i> Death Race 2000, nor a remake of, not in any real sense anyway.

Worth watching as Friday night action crap, don't expect Death Race 2000 and you'll Kill 90 minutes without too much pain.

6/10 as boozy action crap, 1/10 compared to Death Race 2000.

Tropic Thunder

Does what you'd expect from a Ben Stiller film, some cheap laughs and spectacular blundering. Unfortunately the only real characters are Downey Jr and Stiller (very good make-up job on Downey Jr, too) does get an extra star for the genuine WTFLOL?! moment when Tom Cruise appears.

7,5

Another person with the Roman/Spoodie view on Hellboy II.

Worth getting on dvd when it comes down to budget prices as it's alright, nothing bad, nothing amazing.

The singing scene however is surreal and quite amusing in the context of the characters and the film.

Ricci can never be too cute imo. I'd bang her so hard my dick broke off.
