Uncle Spielberg's Film Class 2 - The Shawshank Redemption

[Uncle Spielberg]

Voted the 2nd greatest film ever made on imdb with 9.1, its The Shawshank Redemption, is it a cineamtic masterpiece, it took sod all at the box office, just $ 45 000 000 in the USA and less than
£ 3 000 000 here.

It was nominated for 7 oscars but won sod all.

Word of mouth has seen this film escalate into legendary status more so than any other film in history.

Its in my top 10 and gets a 9 from me.

Can this beat Pulp Fictions average 7.5

You decide.

A good film but not a great film - bit overlong and mawkish.

 

[Blackadder]

Well worth watching, DtG. You can get it extremely cheaply now. DVDs are generally £4 or so, in the bargain buckets.

One of my all time favourite films.

1 - don't like those things on Morgan Freeman's face.

My friend and i thought that Freeman woke around three fifths of the way through Seven on the cedar bench like a cat. He seemed to wipe milk from his blotchy whiskers and paw the recent dreams of mouse-torture and acme-rentals from his newly woken eyes.
Upon seeing Seven again, he didn't do that at all. Shame really.

I have given Shawshank a 3. Long, dull, conventional, disinteresting, 'heroic', witless. Oh, there's a hole in his wall. What an amazing turnaround.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Get an 8 from me, very good film.

 

[Simster]

A good film but vastly overrated.

 

[Meade's Ball]

A good film but vastly overrated.

It's for lonely uncles and bus-drivers with Sunday nights off and scientists with very milky skin and albino pods for eyes still reading children's 42-page novels about getting away and riding magic donkeys.

MEADO! Have you seen Office Space. I think I am to watch it this arvo.
