High Fidelity, Once Upon A Time in the West and V for Vendetta on their way to me.

The Lemon Tree - is an Israeli film made for Israelis and sympathisers. I read in an Irish review it was based on a true story. The book its based on is real, not too sure about any story. There is very little of the reality of the occupied territories and the innumerable check-points and controls the locals have to endure.
One plus is it includes the prolific Palestinian actress Hiam (Hyam) Abbass. She breezes through the role. But its not a very subtle film and honestly if it was based on a true story the Israeli Army would ensure there was no lemon grove for there to be an issue.

A Palestinian film I would recommend is the stylised 'Divine Intervention' by Elia Suileman. Its about a courting couple meeting beside a checkpoint on the Jerusalem -Ramalah road as I think she doesn't have the correct ID to travel to Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Two scenes below, highly stylised and choreographed. Independent of the plot but would be considered spoilers because of the site gags. (some scenes of gun-play and dance.)

NSFW? (Contains scenes of dance among other things.)

She has done alot of documentaries and shorts before this.

Just saw They Live (1988) for the first time, John Carpenters weird sci fi political movie. It was good, and had a clear message - that we are all brain washed most of the times. I think David Icke must have had a look at this movie before he went off on one - it is virtually the same time too!!!!

Have downloaded a good few for X-mas..................

Requiem For a Dream (have seen it before but now have the directors cut)
Waking Ned Devine - want to show it to the wife - its fun
The Long Good Friday - havent seen it but it has good reviews

and if they ever get seeded .......United 93, How Harry Became A Tree, Brazil, This Is Spinal Tap and Hear My Song.:):)

Requim is a great show i loved it 2 very strong stories about similar topics but viewed completly differently by the "public"

How harry became a tree is quite good too felt more liek a play than a movie.

And spinal tap ill be watching that again over the hols :D

High Fidelity

One of my favourite books of all time so was scared of how it would work when transported to Chicago. John Cusack is my favourite actor though so knew it was in fairly safe hands. Was delighted that it didnt really lose any of the hip-nerdiness of the book.

Enjoy!

[Dodge]

Yeah I love High Fidelity. Nothing new or groundbreaking but a hugely enjoyable film.

[Neish]

Yeah I love High Fidelity. Nothing new or groundbreaking but a hugely enjoyable film.

Agree for a romantic commedy its supriseinly funny and it has a great soundtrack. I usually hate rom com as they are very predictable and usually the jokes and gags in them have been seen many times before, but High Fidelity differs here

[eamo1]

Seen Madagascar 2 over the weekend with the GF.Not as good as Ice Age or Shrek but still a good effort.Weird to hear Bernie Mac doing a voice and to think he's now dead.Chris Rock is a good voice over talent too.

In fairness, Hornby does have a great take on life in all his books. Its like he has crawled inside my head and is living my emotions. Fever Pitch, About a Boy and High Fidelity are classic books and translated well as movies. (About a boy being the weaker movie but still well done)

I thought about a boy was the best movie transition. I think High Fidelity is a better film but its a fair bit different from the book (location and music plays a huge part IMO)

Fever Pitch film is poor

[thischarmingman]

Don't really ever want to see Fever Pitch as the book is one of my favourite of all time- just the best description of what it's like being a football fan.

[tetsujin1979]

The American remake of Fever Pitch isn't as bad as I expected. Based around the Red Sox, instead of Arsenal

The Butcher Boy was on RTE just now. Quality film, with some really good acting.

[superfrank]

I caugt Days of Wine and Roses the other day. It was pretty good, if not a tad disturbing. Another good turn from Jack Lemmon.

[Neish]

Got "Made in Britain" as a christmas present. good show very good preformance from Tim Roth in one of his first films

Sergeant Cryer out of 'The Bill' is in that too.
Also, a subtle reference to football when he make it to the bedroom.

[anto1208]

Watched Hancock and it was better than i expected grand hang over movie where you cant think about plots and dont have to stay awake for the whole thing.

And watched There will be blood great first hour great performance from daniel day but after the first hour or so it turns to rubbish and i wasnt this dissapointed with an overhyped film since no country for old men.

[osarusan]

Watched "Garage" on TV last night. Decent film I thought, but not as good as I had expected. Beautifully filmed, and well acted, but crossed the line from slow-moving to boring a few times.

[tetsujin1979]

Watched College - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_(2008_film) - last night.
Not bad, but nothing special. If you asked me, I would recommend Animal House or Old School over it.

[Closed Account 2]

Just saw Into The Wild (2007), great film, well worth watching if you get the chance.

[oscar]

just watched cassandras dream(colin farrell and ewan mcgregor)



dire

[Newryrep]

In Bruges - dont understand what all the hype was about - predictable and not particurily funny

[oscar]

how can you say it wasn't funny?did you not see Colin Farrell karate chop that racist midgit :D:D:D

[strangeirish]

88 minutes with Al Pacino. Disappointing to say the least.

[Ash]

Saw "Cass" on DVD the other day.
Its about Cass Pennent, once head of rthe West Ham Inter City Firm.

Not a bad film.

[endabob1]

Kung Fu Panda - High brow Humour.

Ok there's Kung Fu, Jack Black voicing a portly animated Panda who does Kung Fu alongside a cast including Ian McShane who is fab as the bad guy, with Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu & Seth Rogan doing the other voices, what's not to like?????

[Newryrep]

how can you say it wasn't funny?did you not see Colin Farrell karate chop that racist midgit :D:D:D

Yeah about a thousand times on trailers/ previews/adverts and it wasnt funny then.

Journey to the Centre of the Earth - with Brendan Frazer - I know its not meant to be to taxing on the brain but some the the dialogue - the James Mason original also had better special effects - avoid like the plague

[anto1208]

Step brothers again ( 3rd time ) still brilliant

that clown has no penis !

What the hell are ye dreaming about

I soo wanted to like this. but it was so poor. blades of glory is class tho.

[thischarmingman]

Hate Brendan Frazer...what's the point of him?

Saw V For Vendetta, didn't think it was that good to be honest, nice to see all the explosions and fireworks at the end but didn't think too much of it. 2/5.

Watching Once Upon A Time in the West when I get the chance tonight or tomorrow and am hopeful for it.

Saw that recently & was also disappointed.

Its a long one but in my top 10 list. The start gives a good flavour of the following hours...

Ok I admit it. I am a total sap. Had a rough first Monday of the New Year so decided to unwind with a piece of fluff movie that have had no real interest in watching but since it was on Sky Anytime, decided to give it a view.

I cried my way through it and got the gooey feelings they were aiming for despite the hamfisted acting, really bad Irish accents (from Irish people!) and a rather hollow script.

Not a great movie, infacta (pardon the soon to be apparent pun) rather s*** one but perfectly fitted my life last night.

Yours in shameful pleasure movie viewing

P.S. I love you.

The Rebel
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0782154/
Vietnamese action flick, best film I've seen in a while (I've seen a lot of crap lately). Plenty of action, fight scenes very well filmed. It keeps you interested, which seems to be an achievement these days! 9/10

[SaucyJack]

Watched "Burn after Reading", liked it, but I was expecting better. Brad Pitt isn't too bad at comedy. Malkovich is very good.

Also watched "Man on Wire", pretty good, I never knew the history of the Twin towers tight-wire crossing, and all thru the documentary, I'm thinking the guy doing this crossing(Phillipe Petit) is completely and utterly insane.

[superfrank]

Saw Michael Clayton and Road To Perdition over New Year's. Both very good.

Tom (?) Wilkinson was excellent in Michael Clayton. Some of his rants were hilarious.

err, yeah. Pretty much the same for me
Was on Sky Premier +1 last night, as soon as I started watching it I knew I'd have to watch the end of it. I'm weird like that, I have to watch something the whole way through.

[oscar]

Bourne Identity....good movie and some good action scenes
and don't anybody give me "the book or series was better" crap:p

What about the endangerment to citizens of European cities with the car chases from these Hollywood moviemakers, Ronin is another 'tour' through Europe.

I blame Grace Kelly (her acting not her driving.)

[shakermaker1982]

Finished off the Jumper and it was painful. How that got 3 stars in Empire I'll never know.

Lovefilm have sent me Hellboy 2 and man on wire. Fingers crossed.

I adore that film. I hope you enjoyed it.

[Magicme]

Watched 4 movies today/tonight as am holed up on sofa dying with the flu.

Vantage Point: Good storyline but annoying the way they would rewind it all the time. Glad I didnt watch it with my dad or he would have us demented coz he wouldnt get the rewinding thing at all!

Be Kind Rewind: Very disappointed in this. I hope I never have to watch a Jack Black movie again as he is just the same character over and over.

Raising Arizona: An oldie but goodie. Introduced it to my kids but they didnt get the humour of it really.

Bourne Identity: Still one of the best action/spy/thriller type movies of all time.

[anto1208]

Watched REC ( as in record on a video camera )

Spainish horror film about a tv crew doing a report on the fire service they get locked into a buillding with a zombie virus. Very good very tense and some really good jumpy bits.

Picked it up in zavvi's sale for 3.50 euro
