indough

make sure to catch "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a few dollars more" if you haven't seen them - TGTBATU is probably the best of the 3 but the other 2 are class also.

I just bought A fistful of Dollars on dvd, but I live in Brazil, and never checked the box and alas the audio was only in fecking Portuguese :mad:

I speak a little Portuguese but I hate dubbed movies. And that goes for non-english movies too. Imagine watching 'Der Untergang' with some American dude as Adolf:pac:......ridiculous!

I think Downfall/Untergang will be the next showing in my home cinema!...great film

Catenaccio!

Found it to be one of the worst comedies I've seen in the recent past. It was uncomfortable viewing, and not in a good way. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are two shoddy actors as well.

Magnum Force and Last Orders, some fine ensemble acting from a bomb-proof cast of veterans. Dunno if it would have been worth seeing on the big screen as its really a chamber piece. TV suits it better I suspect.

kaimera

Wolverine today.
The Tournament last night.
Harry Potter the night before. (whatever the last released movie was)

ScumLord

Wrong turn 3. Awful, awful, awful, awful film. It's really, really, really awful. It's just terrible. Bad isn't the word it's god awful. It's just the stupidest film ever made by anyone.

Watched Batman Begins for the second time last night. Very good film, but I still think Tim Burton had the right idea.

Michael Keaton will always be The Batman to me.

MagicMarker

Smokin' Aces - I liked it

Drag me to Hell - This was less of a horror and more of a ''how many times can I make you think you're going to vomit'' movie.

Wreck

The Tournament - fell asleep about 20 mins in, which can't be good.

Anakin.S

Watched 'The Usual Suspects' with my wife on Saturday night, really enjoyed it, still think its Bryan Singers best movie

Ghost Train

Saw Triangle in the cinema, a film where Melissa George plays the lead. Thought it was very good, really gets in on you.

nacho libre

Antichrist

The Reader

Saw Dead Man's Shoes last week and it was excellent. Paddy Considine is amazing. It's the second Shane Meadows film I've seen and I've been very impressed with both.

BopNiblets

Cleaner - Samuel L jackson plays a single dad ex-cop crime scene cleaner upper, pretty good.
50 Dead Men Walking - Northern Ireland troubles thriller, also good.

nacho libre

The Escapist - decent movie.

i like the ending, although to some it's probably cheesy and the movie is weak ifrom their perspective because it doesn't flesh out the central character to their satisfaction.

The Taking Of Pelham 123.
Enjoyable enough. Travolta puts in a pretty good performance. As does Denzel. I would recommend it. It's no Oscar winner, but its enjoyable.

Surrogates.
Watchable. Not amazing. A lot of the stuff you would have seen before. I, Robot, Minority Report, The Matrix (logging ito the matrix/surrogates)

Gone Baby, Gone (Again)
Probably third time watching this. Powerful stuff. Great performance from Casey Affleck.

irish_bob

saw 3 , watched it last night , enjoyed it , much much better than saw 2

bear in mind that i say i liked it within the context of it being a schlock horror sequel , eveything is relative

Orphan:
Thought this was very good, decent original plot with good preformances, especially the kids. It's not so much a horror than a thriller. Would definately recommend it.

Yeah it was good. I thought the twist was fairly good too.


I watched Stag Night earlier on.

garyt24

I would recommend some of the movies that i watched recently:
Bronson
drag me to hell
The dammed united
big fish
state of play
taken
the hangover

Valmont

I watched Lolita last night- the one with Jeremy Irons. I had heard it was terrible but I really enjoyed it. It's quite different from Kubrick's and stresses different qualities of the book. Jeremy Irons played a great Humbert.

nipps

21
was average. 6/10

a beautiful mind
was ok aswel, 5/10

michael collins
brilliant, emotional, good cast, well acted, but slightly historically inaccurate.
overall 9/10

Hrududu

I watched The Boat that Rocks. It was one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. I got about half way through it and had to turn it off.

Caprica

Seen 500 Days of Summer Yesterday. Really enjoyed it, when I seen the trailer wasn't overly keen but everyone I know gave it the thumbs up. Very good performances by the two leads.

Rhyme

Just finished watching The Shawshank Redemption.

It's one of my favourites and I'm feeling like shit at the moment so a bit of cheering up was in order

EdwardSav

Antichrist: Really really great. Totally undeserving of the reaction it recieved. Only sensible thing I read about it was by a professor in Galway. Dont get your kickers in a twist and you should enjoy it.

LazyClouds

Swa Taken for the first time last night. I thought it was very good, love Neeson. The ending was a little annoying though.

Why werent they flying on a private jet home? And the mom wasnt as upset/delighted to see her daughter as i would have liked. And the whole Holly Valance singing thing at the end wasnt great. They should have ended it on an air strip getting off their private jet, and after huge massive tearful hugs and kisses it should of ended with a freeze frame of Kim in her fathers arms whilst the mom and step dad looked on happy and red eyed close by.

Well thats what i think anyway.:D

Ah, Taken Now we know what Liam Neeson would be like as the Irish Terminator

Flamed Diving

1984 - Great film, they managed to perfectly capture how I visualised the world of Airstrip One to be. Almost every detail was exactly as described in the book, even Julia looked like I had imagined. If only all book adaptations were this loyal to the book.
