    Just watched Brothers. I thought it was very good and well worth the rental. Some great acting from all and the two young kids in it where brilliant.

    Fk bashir he was nothing but a sectarianist person. Genocidale maniac. Militia lord. A propaganda . His slogan "lebanon first" was a propaganda. Anyways this movie is banned in lebanon but i'm trying to get it. Any free download links? I'm not paying for this sht.

    Last film I saw in cinema was Prince of Persia which actually was quiet enjoyable a real popcorn flick.

    Then rented the film Brothers last night which was excellent. Brilliant performances from most of the cast but Jake Gyllenhaal was outstanding and deserved more aclaim that he got for the role. In general though I find he is either dismissed or overlooked for most of his work which is a pity as he is an outstanding actor from his early days in Donnie Darko to recent work such as Zodiac, Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead.

    Watched the following over weekend:
    A Prophet - excellent. French movie but highly recommended if interested in a crime type movie. Based on an Arab in a French prison who rises up thru the internal mafia ranks..
    Brothers - Jim Sheridan directs. Thought it would be better to be honest. Good cast with Jake Gyllenhall/Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman.
    Nowhere Boy - movie about John Lennon growing up. Absolute rubbish

    bad lieutenant - enjoyable, surreal without being inaccessible. First herzog film Ive seen that i enjoyed.

    on wiki i saw that this isnt a remake of the first one with harvey keitel, found that a little surprising.

    Have you not seen Rescue Dawn??

    The Book Of Eli

    Liked this film alot.Denzel is top notch as usual.One of the better post-apocalyptic films that i have seen.Way better than Waterworld , the postman,Mad Max.

    Paddy Samurai, try The Road for proper gritty post-apocalyptic.

    Watched For A Few Dollars More last night. First western I've seen in a while and really enjoyed it. Its part 2 of a trilogy though so I'll have to get my hands on the others.

    Michael Clayton (2007), pretty straightforward legal conspiracy made all "sophisicated" by the look and feel. Nice accents fom Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton, and a typcially crisp turn from the late Sydney Pollack. He should have done more acting. Pity they went for a slightly "mystical" reason to get Clayton out of the car.

    I watched Office Space earlier tonight, for the first time in years. What a great satire. Everything you love to hate about a typical office, from mundane management speak, to wanting to smash up the photcopier!

    what a great film - "when the chimes stop, pick up your gun" - so melodramatic, nobody films a gunfight like Leone.

    the other 2 (Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) are also superb and Once upon a time in the West from a few years later is a masterpiece.

    A clockwork orange . Its the type of movies that makes you think about it the moment you wake up the next day after watching it. But i ruined it by reading the summary prior to watching it but still a brilliant movie.


    Tonight i'm gonna watch the shining.

    The part I really enjoyed was that it was unabashedly fiction. So many other films having to do with the troubles set out to be both historically accurate and politically neutral, then promptly fail to achieve either.

    Watched Killer Instinct. The first part of Mesrine.

    Really good, story felt a bit disjointed because of how the timeline jumps years at a time, but it didn't put me off.

    As I'm sure people have said, Cassell puts in a great performance. Looking forward to watch the second one now.

    It's strange that you leave out the two leading roles, Woody Harrelson & Emily Mortimer.
