By my english skills, Im not sure what you mean by that, so could you explain? :?
Dictionary said just 'beat up', and before I checked from dictionary I was thinking something quite different meaning? humm..

and I have to admit that I saw a very sucky version of it, it had very poor picture and I was so tired always when I watched it so I watched in it 3 parts (3 different days). But maybe Ill watch it again when it comes out to video here.

I saw Rabbit proof fence a few weeks ago - 8/10
A nice movie to watch.

Then last week I saw Scary movie 3 which was a bore, it was just the same as the first two, only "jokes" about other movies - 4/10

Well i watched "Resident Evil - Apocalypse" last night, now if u want a cheap laugh this is the movie to see, and if u liked the game, well dont expect anything cuz it wont be in the movie, however its still "One to watch".. i would give it 5/10

Another movie that actually suprised me in a positive way is "What women want" before the movie started i were calling my girl and askin to just tell me instead i would have to sit and be bored for 2 hours :P
However, this movie is actually kinda fun, offcourse theres is the occational cheasy love shit, apart from that its a great movie :)
8/10

And last review today is "4 rooms", now this is actually more 4 small sketches put together to be a movie, and if u have a somewhat twisted sense of homour youll like this one, the story is about a hotelclerk, taking a nightshift on newyears eve, where things take a turn just alittle to the south, great movie btw co-produced by Quentin Tarantino, so if u like his stuff, and havent seen this, youre in for a treat..
8/10

What kind of dictionary are you using? Did you look up 'do over' as a verb by itself or something? It's between 'apostrophes' since I lacked a better term. What I mean is, were you ever in a relationship that, looking back now, you wish you could have done differently?

Also, you shouldn't imply you've seen illegal copies of said film, but what's done is done. I do recommend you to watch it on dvd when it comes out.

Oh alekchi, if you have anything to add or change to the competition thread please do so asap.

Some movie I posted a screeny from on the big badboy thread movie-o-rama: 'One point 0'. Although lacking good grades on IMDB (not many votes though), it is a must see imo.

Very recent and very claustrophobic. Excellent mise-en-scene, superb casting, decent acting, and thematically consistent throughout. Plus it's a so-called 'mindfuck' (like 12 monkeys, fightclub, the game and the usual suspects, too name a few), my favorite sub-genre of them all.

I rate this movie 83/100.

I watched from www.sanakirja.net which is chargeable (though came with my ISP), and it was as 'do over' and had "synynyms 'beat up'.

Well in that way that you meant it Ill have to answer that yes, truly yes, and I still, very strongly regret that I let this person go by my own purpose. and I still am really sad and would give almost anything to go back in time. And its the thing I would change in my life, even though I have done some really, really stupid things. :(
damn its even hard to write

now to happier thoughts (have to recanalize my thoughts from that) cool, Ill have to see that One point 0 (and the game I havent seen that either either) since I really, really, loved 12 monkeys and usual suspects.

I saw Last Samurai http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325710/
today and I Tom Cruise was good, and everything was nicely done, I liked fight-scenes also (though I usually hate action scenes, prolly because there is too much of them, maybe a little, little bit too much here too.:)
but after all it was good movie and I loved the cherry blossom. :)
8+/10

Watch the game first, that kind of paranoia is alot easier to digest than the kind everyone in one point o has.

Jz one questions, did you read the book? The film feels like it is missing something if you have, although the casting is pretty good. I rate it 65/100%

But n99, that doesn't matter. There are 2 different things: the book (that can be bad or good) and the movie (that can be bad or good).
Mixing both, is desastrous.
For example, LotR. I liked the book and I didn't liked the movie (well... a little bit). But they are two completely different things. If I prefer the book over the movie it's my decision and it doesn't mean that the movie is "a bad adaptation".

But, sometimes, we mix this things when the book-based movie (or vice versa) doesn't show something that you wanted to see on the celuloid/paper.

Rabbits (Chapter 1 to 8 ), 9/10 because of my personal satisfaction... but I can't be objective.

Darkened Room, 6/10.

Eraserhead, 7/10.

Lost Highway, 8,5/10.

Mulholland Drive, 7/10.

Dune, 8,5/10.
