Did look like a bit of craic actually, "My liege..". The only film I've seen "McLovin" in outside of Superbad. Really against type!
The Hangover - Not as funny as it was made out to be tbh.
Pictures at the end are quality though.

Bourne would win by the way. :)

+1 for bourne, neeson would beat bond, all of them:D,
just saw one week, a canadian film with joshua jackson in it, basic plot guy finds out he has cancer, buys a bike, and drives across canada, id give it an 8/10, would probably be one to watch with the other half,

Sounds interesting. I like Joshua Jackson anyway.
Saw Zack & Miri Make A Porno last night. Absolute rubbish. Thought it might be ok cos I've liked most of Seth Rogen's films so far eg. Pineapple Express, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad.
The movie on RTE last night looked good, if a bit cheesy. Trust The Man it was called, funny enough.

Bourne would just about take Mills (Neeson) (youth over experience), but then find that no matter how many rounds he fired at Bond, he couldn't seem to hit him. As a significant character, Bond wouldn't be able to shoot him either before being disarmed. The inevitable fist fight would end with an appalling pun when a giant anvil fell on Bourne. However, the entirely match would be declared a draw as Bond finally succumbs to an STD.

i thought zack and miri had its moment (constapation:D), seth rogen is just making to many films,
if you didnt like that, i would deffinately not recomend observe and report, utter garbage id give it a 2 out of 10, one is for having actors, and the other for some how getting approval for making it,
Revolutionary Road. Her pick. Surprisingly good. DiCaprio and Winslett both excellent.

Went to see Bruno last night and it was a bit of a let down. Borat was definitely a lot funnier, Bruno just seems to be trying too hard, most of the situations are very contrived and don't have the same level of realism. It still had some funny moments but it felt like they struggled to get the 80 minutes worth of gags. It's a 3/5 for me.

Its brilliant i have it on blue ray on a 42" and have watched it so many times. I cant understand why this film isnt more popular its the most important jump in film making in the last ten years.

2 suggestions
Boy A - a guy is released from prison in his early 20's have been inside for killing a kirl with a mate when he was a kid himself (think Jamie Bulger) it's about his attempts to re-integrate to society under an assumed identity, very good.
Love in the time of Cholera - Film adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's classic novel, I'm not normally one for period films but this is a great story and I thought the movie held it up pretty well, pretty long at 2 hours 20 but worthwhile.

Just back from Bruno i havent laughed so much in a long time its brilliant if you like that kind of thing if you didnt like Borat you wont like this.
I dont know how he doesnt get a few slaps doing this stuff but the weirdest of the lot is the parents trying to get their babies into the photo shoot. The scary thing is i belive there are worse parents out there.
I dont know how he doesnt get a few slaps doing this stuff ...
Havent seen it, or Borat but from watching his old Ali G stuff I presume all
this is staged.

Went to see Bruno last night. Its offensive in ways, impossible not to laugh at it tough. Going to do my best not to spoil this bit for those who have not seen it,Never heard such a laugh when "It" shouted Bruno :D, those of you who seen will know what I mean.

Saw Angels & Demons Friday night. I enjoyed it but think it is important enough to have read the book to be able to keep up. A better attempt than Da Vinci Code but still fairly rushed, probably unavoidable. Some sunstantial changes from the book, none more disappointing than the absence of Vittoria Vetra parading around in her bare legs.

The Hangover - thoroughly enjoyed this, has to be said.
Not a plot to have a massive amount of scrutiny applied to it - its all played for laughs and certainly has a few hilarious moments and a few classic one liners.
The bloke who plays the future brother in law is brilliant.

Che Part One and Part Two:
I didn't know much about the real history of the man but i got this cause i was interested in finding out more. It was a very enjoyable movie i must say. My only problem with it is i feel it comes across slightly biased and makes him out to be an absolute hero that never did much wrong by anyone. From little bits ive read around about him it makes me feel he wasn't all great like the movie makes him out to be. As i say i don't know much about him other than what i saw in the movie so find it hard to make a true criticism of the accuracy of the film.
Watchmen:
Rentes it last night. Heard some mixed reviews about this film but i really enjoyed it personally. Couldn't put my finger on what it was about it but it was just so good. Great storyline with a very good finish to it. Think i'll be purchasing this.

Went to see Public Enemies over the weekend and I thought it was excellent, really good performances from all the cast, looked great, sounded great, couldn't find much fault with it. Only problem was the air con in the cinema seemed to be broken and it was like a bloody sauna.

Bruno: Had me in stitches in places but I couldn't escape the feeling it was more style than substance. And I have issues with just how contrived some of the scenes maybe. It was good, but it wasn't as good as Borat, and it wasn't the funniest thing I've seen all year (that honour goes to In the Loop). 3/5
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Top notch entertainment, and genuinely creep and eerie at times. Was worried it might be too boring given that the book is essentially a setup for the last in the series but thought it was a really enjoyable, really well made film. My girlfriend has never read any of the books and only seen one of the films previously which she hated but she realy enjoyed the film with the minimum of explanation so they must have done something right. 4.5/5
Going to try to make Moon and Soul Power (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ5_qFuANwM&feature=PlayList&p=94B7AAE09CD8CF70&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3) sometime over the next week. Moon in particular looks very promising.
Would like to see Antichrist too but I'll have to go by myself as noone else I know wants to see it, and I'm rather squeemish so I'm not sure I'll make it through the genital mutilation scenes! Has anyone seen it yet?
Also for anyone in Dublin, Brief Encounter is showing tomorrow and Wednesday in Screen Cinema, Nassau Street and might be a good chance to see a classic on the big screen. Why don't more cinema's show at least one 'classic' movie a week? So many of them in the age before DVD and video releases were solely meant to be seen on a cinema screen and it's a pity there isn't the opportunity to see them more often.

one disturbing movie! Worth buying or renting out.
I went to see Bruno yesterday and was disappointed. It didn't have the charm of Bruno and it felt forced. A couple of funny scenes but it didn't justify the hype.

Thought much the same myself. Good films and well shot but they are a tad biased.

Haunting in Connetticut ....awful stuff. Why is there nobody able to skillfully build suspense any more?
Anvil - Documentrary about Canadian rock band who had their 15 minutes of fame in the early eighties but because subsequent recordings were so bad nobody wanted to buy them.
The film follows them as they try to get the Band back in the public frame again. Mark Kermode called it a masterpiece which it isn't but warm, funny
and worthwhile it is.

Agree with you re: suspense, it's hard to get a really good film that is full of suspense and tension these days, they're all just by-numbers horror and the like. I saw Strangers on a Train on Monday night and was gripped by the final half of it, it was very well executed. Trying to think what the last film I saw in the cinema was that was really gripping in the same way- maybe Gone Baby Gone?

Watched Push - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465580/ - on monday night. Tries to treat the super hero genre in the same was as Heroes, and did it considerably better than the last series of the show.
Although watching Dakota Fanning run around in the world's shortiest skirt did make me feel all dirty. And not the good "Las Vegas" kind of dirty either

Saw Moon last night, would highly recommend it. Don't be put off by the sci-fi tag, it's more a thoughtful reflection on loneliness and what it means to be human. It's quite baffling initially but is it unfolds it becomes clearer. It's well worth your time.

Saw Knowing with Nicolas Cage over the wkd. I thought it was really good for the first three-qrtrs but deteriorated pretty badly near the end. Cage isn't everybody's cup of tea and neither will this movie. I like him though when he plays his lonesome half-depressed type character, which is a lot.
