excellent:mystic river

I thought the new version of 'The Texas chainsaw masacre' was better than the original.

Cabin Fever is a bit of a black comedy, not bad.

My three main problems with Troy were;
-No light/funny scenes at all-even really tragic movies normally have 'em
-Historical accuracy was poor-every Trojan was made out as an honourable, patriotic, kind, family oriantated saint whilst every Greek (with the exception of Sean BEan) was a raping, priest-killing, baby murdering scumbag.
Somehow I don't think it would have been like that in real life-also in the legen Archilies (sp?) didn't have 'issues' like in the movie-he knew what he's akll abnout where as in the movie he would have been best at a phycyatrist!
-Brad Pitt

Got Spiderman 2 on DVD-have yet to watch it............................O no that was a joke I don't really own it on DVD, never seen a pirate DVD in ma life

Flatmate rented 'The Time Machine' & me nothing to do last monday post Nijmegen. Think i started to fall asleep half way through & down there with 'Dude Wheres My Car?' as worst movies of last 10 years.

Sherk 2 is absolutey brilliant !

Got Veronica Guerin the other day, I know it's been out a while but I'd never got round to getting it. Thought it was excellent.

Also got The Missing... not bad although I wouldn't go outta my way for it.

Van Helsing.........brutal

**Macy** · 13/07/2004, 2:18 PM

Thought Veronica Guerin was only okay, glad I didn't pay into the flicks for it. Watched In America over the weekend, pretty similar to above - okay, but glad I just got a loan of it...

**wws** · 13/07/2004, 2:30 PM

got a loan of Big Lebowski and Millers Crossing the other day - great watching - pity i missed these gems when they came out

**joeSoap** · 13/07/2004, 2:43 PM

Big Lebowski=one of the all time greats, KingPin also a super movie

Shes a bit of a princess alright, especially in the tight top. If i was old leather face id have captured her and made her breakfast every morning.
Decent flick for a remake.

**De Town** · 13/07/2004, 4:38 PM

Shrek 2 was class. Troy and Day after tomorrow were a total waste of time.

Went to the cinema one friday i was off and wandered into that one, had no idea what it was about, but as you say it was a decent flick. If your into southern inbreds and their madness, go for it.

intermission .... delish man, delish !!

Just seen;
Matchstick Men (DVD)-Funny, light, class twist, worth a watch, good film
Spiderman 2 (Cinema)-Good action/humour, accurate to the Marvel comic if you ever read any of them, enjoyable, worth seeing
