Uuggghhh .... I thought this was very poor.

I thought 'Signs' was a decent flic, but Im sure someone else will think it was crap, just like I thought 'The Bourne Identity' was.

Loomer

Bad Boy Bubby - A great one for the family :P

Mountjoy Mugger

Heh, you're right. I thought Signs was a pile of poo and I really enjoyed The Bourne Identity.

an no, the 2002 movie was dire, I've got my hands on the original which seems to follow the book alot more. Hopefully it will be better

Hey Bedlam where did you find that? Wasn't that just a TV movie?

I liked the new one, only disappointment was it strayed from Ludlams excellent book too musc.

As for the thread. I saw Bad Company with Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. I enjoyed it. Kinda a spy/thriller/action movie and it's produced by Jerry Bruckheimer - very entertaining

I loved Signs.
Absolutely loved it.
I bought the DVD in America recently, and I have not yet gotten tired of watching it. That's pretty rare for me.

Chad ghostal

id have to agree with mugger, signs was terríble.. and bourne was very good, liman did a good job.

Insomnia, bully(which should be out eventually), donnie darko and one hour photo are all good-very good

pretty much everything in the xtra-vision top 20 is crapola.

oh and lantana.. very was very good. .
thats all i can think of off the top of my head. .


ps bad company was awful. .avoid.

I've seen and liked the following films recently;
Summer of Sam,
The Dish,

Pugsley

This is a 'recommend a film' thread, not a 'discuss bourne identidy and signs' thread, get on topic folks.

I liked:
Catch me if you can
Great story, and acting.

About Scmiht (sp?)
Was a good story, but dont expect any action or a huge ending,I enjoyed watching this guys life go pear shaped and how he coped.

Tusky

This is 'recommend a new good action film out to rent', not a 'give out about people going off-topic, whilst staying firmly off-topic yourself' thread. Get on topic, Pugsley.

Uh... hauling myself back on-topic - the Count of Monte Cristo is pretty nice, and uh.. action-ish.

Clintons Cat

It depends what you like

I reccomend the following action movies
Purple Storm
2000 AD
Swordfish
The One
Desporado


Also recomended veiwing though not strictly action flicks
Carlitos Way
Donie Brasco
and for the retroheads....Dog Day Afternoon

i ended up getting blade 2 out again tanx anyways!!!

Space Coyote

Bourne Identity was good viewing.
I'd recommend 'The Man Who Was't There', Coen Brothers. Say no more.

Does anyone know what the story with Training Day is? You can't rent it in my local Xtavision or Movie Master.
From what I heard they had it to rent before they were allowed and the plop hit the fan...can you get it elsewhere?

Makaveli

There was a distribution problem or something which meant nobody was allowed put it up for rental. Chartbusters started renting retail copies of it but I'm sure it got stopped pretty quickly. So afaik if you wanna see Training Day you gotta buy it.

3000 miles to Graceland - Elvis's, Explosions, Murder, Mayhem & a very sexy looking Courtney Cox - what else could you want

Gandalf.

(Yes I know its a sh!t film but I enjoyed it!)

Lemming

Dog Soldiers.

A soldier film with werewolves ...... and a lot of dark humour.

Or, if you want to go back in time, get the 1954 black and white Akire Kurosawa classic "Seven Samurai". It's in japenese with english subtitles and is over 190 mins long, but it's bloody good.

Clintons Cat

Dog Soldiers

Good call, one of the better independant horror movies around at the moment,as is "Long time Dead."

Reccomend you avoid "Ginger Snaps" though its dire teen angst.
As is "Murder By Numbers" the only thing to reccomend about it is the Glaring continuity errors as the teen leads visably yoyo in wieght between scenes,unintentionally funny stuff.

gandalf

Forgot about Dog Soldiers, excellent werewolf film with lots of cool quirky bits

There is no Spoon!

Gandalf.

yes!
very funny movie!
with cool songs, lot of blood and a kevin costner as i never seen before:)
i liked particulary the scene in the casino and the emotional scene in the helicoptere.

lili

i recommend the film of almodovar 'talk with her'
sort of film you think about it a long time after:)

kaimera

Iron Monkey if you can find it.

Along the lines of Croching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but much much better.

Legend of Drunken Master [Jackie Chan]

Absolutely classic action flick. Defo Chan's best to date.

D nominater

not exactly action but good enough,much better than the original,The Count of Monte Cristo.
*Amazing fact no.1: In the Christmas sales of computer games in England(or Britain not sure)recentlyish, Vice City got 60% and the top 10 games,being whatever they were,scooped 40%. It's unbelievable, almost.

D nominater

I'm of the opinion that the one starring Jet Li and Jet Li and a few others was brilliant, though it didn't come out that recently.

b.t.w. Kiss of the Red Dragon is heading towards lamety,i think it was meant to be funny.

Did you notice the trend in the last few years to keep things longer and longer in the new releases section in many video shops ,well in x-tra visions anyway and there are a good few extra visions.
