Wow, that's a rather high score for The Campaign. I would have given it about a 5.5. It was funny but definitely a movie I will only watch once.

On a side note I saw the Aussie version of Red Dawn (Tomorrow when the war began) the other day, for the most part it was crap. no where near as good as Red Dawn.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
The Lives Of others is in the Top 250 and it's turn came up at the weekend. I have to say, of all the movies i watched this weekend, it was one of the best! 9/10

The Pianist - Not overly impressed. 5/10

Seven Samurai - Boooring. 2/10

Amelie - Fantastic French flick! 9/10

City Lights (Charlie Chaplin) - Great fun. 8/10

Once Upon A Time In The West - Sergio Leone classic, with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. Recipe for a good western.. and it was. 8/10

12 Angry men. Henry Fonda again. 8/10

Double Indemnity - 7/10

Only 100 or so great movies to go now!

Yeah i know. The Campaign is isn't a good movie, but it's entertaining. If i'm goinng to base my rating on how good it is as a movie, it'll get a 4/10. But it's a simple and classic Will Ferrell type of movie and i just can't hate that guy. It's not as complex as Donnie Darko, but that might also be a good thing some times.

If memory serves it's a made for TV film with delusions of grandeur that saw it make it to the cinemas.

The thing is, Red Dawn was sooo good, and the situation didn't take that much suspension of disbelief.

However, Australia's neighbours clubbing together and defeating it in order to get at the country's resources while the rest of the world turns a blind eye? Nah.

Might give the books a go though.

I'm sure Tomorrow when the war began is still better than the remake of Red Dawn though :D

I love films, and i dont just mean 1 or 2 genres i mean all films, ive got a massive collection of digital films. Most of which are bluray.

Ive always got films on bluray before they are even out in the cinema.

But the last new movie i watched was The Amazing Spiderman ( Bluray of course ) and yes it was a great film, but didnt like the fact that they changed the story line so much from the original 3 with Toby Maguire

But as a rating i would give it a 7/10

Thoughts anyone?
[Off-topic] Felimenta97:
I never read any of the comics, so I don't know, but I was told that the Amazing Spiderman is the real story. I liked both. I was more attached to the character when played by Toby, and also for Mary Jane.

But I also liked the new Peter, a little more reserved, but cool-ish boy that, as said one of two pages back, that he isn't invincible. Acting quickly like a homo now (no offence), but the new gut is better good looking. Back to straight, I didn't liked the other girl much, she is kinda boring.

Requiem For A dream - Not at all what i was expecting. US version of Trainspotting? Worth watching. 7/10

So Disney have bought Star Wars in what I can only imagine is Lucas' final attempt to pee off the fans.

However, I think this could be awesome, with another episode reportedly due for 2015.

Think about it, the three episodes not made by Lucas were awesome, while the three he made were pants, so a new episode not made by the neck-less wonder should be fantastic, we just need Joss Whedon to write the script and direct :)

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) : A great western movie, and Clint Eastwood's performance alone makes it worth it. The way he does tricks with the .42 revolver is one of his stylish and unique feature. Rating: 9/10

For a Few Dollars more (1965) : It is good as prequel, and Lee Van Cleef's addition just makes it more interesting to see the show steeling moments compared to Clint Eastwood, though Eastwood scores. Both of the protagonist's intro scene was one of the best in western classics I would say. Rating: 9/10
