I would say Charlize has maybe 7 or 8 minutes of screen time. Gandalf, definitely check this one out, it's great. Btw, if you guys haven't signed up with Sony's Rewards program, definitely do that because you can get this for free. I have a few titles I'm saving up for, but I'm definitely getting this one after that.

Good, I dont have to eat any footwear or headgear.

At least he didn't confused it with the 2007 Chinese film like I did.

Aw, I was looking forward to seeing if you'll eat your clothes Charlie Chaplin style.

If it’s okay to review shows on this here thread, I finished watching “Claymore” last night.

It plays out a bit like “Berserk” with ladies; a good ol’ fashioned medieval fantasy with gnarly monsters, bloody violence, and brutal attitudes (between the two shows though, “Berserk” will always be the favorite).

“Claymore” has a decent premise with plenty of interesting episodes, plenty of action, decent characterizations, and a fairly interesting story arc. I think my interest teetered a little toward the end, but the show wound up reaching a satisfying conclusion.

4/5 (entertainment: 3.5/5, story: 4/5, film: 4/5)

This Blu-Ray is alright. I believe it is an upconvert at 1080i, but I don’t recall seeing any visual disturbances in the image. As such though, it has a limited amount of detail and sharpness. Color and contrast are good. Some camera movements felt a little too fast for some reason; I’m not sure if that’s the way it was made or if it’s the result of the video. Sound quality is good (at least for the English dubbing).

PQ: 3.5/5, AQ: 4/5

Very cool movie! Action packed with a great story, good casting and nice soundtrack. Recommended to anyone.

Highlander

It's cheesy, it's got Queen doing most the music for it, it has a villian who terrorizes old women and licks priests. It's extreamly 80's and a lot of fun. Not a lot to say, it's very simple plot wise, but well executed in direction, diologue is cheesy. It's a film hard not to love, but easy to hate depending on your slant on movies.

Another quick review people are going to snub there noses at

7.5/10

I streamed via Netflix and the PQ was NOT clean at all. Very bad, but then again, this movie isn't about PQ/AQ, it's about DDL BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF HIS FREAKING MIND!!!

movie: 3/4 stars

I ask you: How can he be so good?

HOW?

I'm guessing this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Triangle-Sean-...2318043&sr=1-3

I saw it a long time ago, and thought it was alright. Sam Niell is the man. SFX were cool. But otherwise, don't expect perfection (not perfect like the 2009 film

).

Excellent film. I didn't give it a 5/5 because I didn't love it, but it's a great film. My rating might improve upon a second viewing.

Viggo and Kodi were great. Highly recommend this one.

Thats how I felt about it. It just missed being a 5. It needed to be a little darker and more depressing for me to give it a 5.

I have to call you out on that one.

How on earth can you justify "recommending a rental"?

What gives you the authority to make such an outlandish and inappropriate recommendation?

What qualifications do you have to support the urging of a fellow member to participate in such a filthy practice?

Tell him to stream it, as anything else would just be unsanitary.

JLant19 · 08-20-2010, 05:08 PM

I have four so nothing to detailed.

Rocky Balboa-4/5
I really enjoyed this. I love the Rocky franchise but this was just missing something. Don't get me wrong I really liked this and will watch it multiple times but I would say this is the third best of the series.

Sly did amazing in this. I loved every minute of his performance. The story was pretty good. The ending was great I loved it.

The blu is great looks/sounds beautiful. Extras are nice!

Rambo-4/5
I didn't think this would be as good as it was. This is def the second best Rambo film in the franchise. The story was really good. Good rap up for the series.

The Losers-3/5
I liked this. Those three words sum up the film. Nothing really stuck out to me except for Zoe and her beautifulness

The action was pretty good.

Cop Out-3/5
Again, I liked this. I think this was pretty funny film. Def nothing I will want to watch again anytime soon. But I am glad I watched it.

SquidPuppet · 08-20-2010, 05:16 PM

She's Out of My League

This was a pretty fun comedy. Its filled with "I've seen/heard that before" moments, but it still worked for me. Just a smidge raunchy, not over the top. Crazy family members who say and do wacky things. A little romance, and of course, the goofball "loser" friends. A pleasant watch.

Comedy scale 4/5

PQ 3.5/5 a bit soft, but I think its the film, not the transfer.
AQ 3.75/5 Clear dialogue and some punchy music, but nothing special.

And the proof is his range. And always believable.

That's funny. One of my buddies saw it a while back and said "I guess it's a good movie, but I won't ever watch it again. It's way too depressing!"

After I finished the film I was thinking "That's it?!"
