The Da Vinci Code (2006)
you can't make a good movie out of a woeful book
I saw this film, on the basis of free tickets - I didn't think it was worth spending a good $15/ticket on this film.
boy was I wrong!
Not only was it woeful, but the best parts in the book weren't in the film. For those who haven't seen it, DON'T! For those who have seen it, WHY? For those who don't want to see it, GOOD!
the best parts? Sir Ian McKellan as Leigh Teabing, Hans Zimmer's score, Most of the cinematography, Audrey Tautou's Sophie Neveu, Paul Bettany's Silas!
Tom Hanks sports his worse haircut yet, after Forrest Gump!
For a better film on the Holy Grail story, see Indian Jones or Monty Python And The Holy Grail!
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
Yes! Finally...
thankfully... finally...
a historical epic that acknowledges that contrary to common thought, 'Muslims' and 'Christians' in the Crusading times were - more or less - equal!
George Dubya - take a look at this!
My personal view? A brilliant film, pulled off well, with a sensitive subject - more so today than ever -
out of 100 - 95
Ridley Scott - well done!
Casting=brilliant Liam Neeson - brilliant Eva Green - brilliant Edward Norton - brilliant - the Leper King -
V for Vendetta (2005)
Nice!
Remember Remember the Fifth of November...
And so begins one of the BEST films of 2006...
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes Twas his intent... A cool setting, eerie plot, awesome Special Effects... Acting = AWESOME! ...Plot = disturbing, challenging and makes you think...
One question... ... Is the DVD set for release on the Fifth of November? IDEAL!
anyway, an awesome film, pulled off well, and with great skill and attention to detail. ...V For Vendetta is the BEST FILM OF 2006 - ...Hugo Weaving = Awesome! - disturbing, but awesome! No sequels please!
The Magic Pudding (2000)
Hmm... and the purpose of the film was...? WHAT?
And so you see the time is ripe/ To send this twaddle up the pipe/ It had to go/ It had to be/ And very soon you're going to see...
Hopefully a better version of the beloved masterpiece. One comment, what faithfulness did the film show to the book? I'm waiting! Seriously, I found this nonsense disgraceful, loud, noisy and unacceptable as a rendition of a classic piece of Australian literature.
Honestly, how could anyone like it? The best part? THE CAST, NOT THE FILM, JUST THE ACTORS PROVIDING THE VOICES!
In fact, my rating doesn't even appear on the register - I give it 0.01 - WOEFUL!
