film criticism society might be more apt, but even then, most of the time, views extend about as far as "i really liked this" or "lol scientology" (), so perhaps film society is the most suitable... whatever, i don't plan on "officially" joining.

: D. i didn't mean that i don't want to participate, i dont intend to join any socs.
oh right!
Well i'll probs get slagged off for this, but i just watched the da vinci code, and i thought it was great! The beginning was a little slow, but when they met Teabing, it kicked off, and became interesting- mckellen was particularly good, don't reckon much to Audrey Tautou, she's acts like a piece of wood! Good film on the whole, and i like how they didn't keep you guessing like the book does! I didn't like the flashbacks though, and Ron Howard did put every little piece into the film from the book, which made it kinda boring if you had read the actual book. I would definitely give it 8 out of 10! it was a lot better than i thought it would be, i liked Tom Hanks as well, plus it was a bit of practise for my french exam, what with Jene Reno etc
hope everyone else enjoys it as much as i did!

Good or bad?
- my opinion I thought it was great.

It was my film of the year. Great storyline, cleverly acted and the technique is odd but good. I hate Jim carey with a burning passion, but I have to concede he did well in this film. Kate of course fantastic as ever. Not sure the point of Kirsten and Elijah though. To be honest, for the screen time they had the casting director could have launched the career of some unknowns instead.
Lol. :\
i saw Fast And Furious: Tokyo Drift,and i have to say it's a let down compared to the first two. i would give it a maximum rating of 5.5 out of 10 just because *film spoiler*.some of the car scenes were nice,but the lead role was rubbish in my opinion (and the person i saw it with as well) so yes,overall, not a great movie. if you want to see it,wait till it's out on dvd.

I didn't empathis with jum carey's character much: he is known too well for his other comedy films and his animated face does get to me, but i like the way the story was told, and parts were endearing. alright film overall.
ELO song was cool
Name of the Film: Fast And Furious: Tokyo Drift
What you liked about the film: Drifting. i think it's an art form on it's own, because it's takes soo much precision and practice and wow! SPOILER coming up! Some of the car scenes were good also and some of the cast were good also,but not all.
What you disliked about the film: Some of the car scenes were long and boring and seemed to drag on for ages, even my bf who's into martial arts and cars etc felt they were really boring...I also think word had spread round as there were only about 20 people max who'd come to see the movie at that particular time..so rather disappointing. Also the lead character Sean was a let down, he had the air of a farm boy who was way out of his league,and he wasn't even hot
Rating out of 10: 5/10. wait till it comes out on dvd.

Charlie Kaufman is the most overrated writer around, all his films replace substance with muddled narrative and characters. That isn't as revelatory as everyone seems to think.
Bah.
