Leap Year: (3 words) Clichéd oirish muck!!:eek:
to be honest Mayo Red, i cant believe you went to see it.... a shag is never worth your dignity. :goat:
For that annoying person in your workplace (we've all got one!) tell them that you could not recommened 'Bounty Hunter' highly enough. It was her indoors turn to pick. It is THE worst flick I've ever had the misfortune to sit through. I actually fell asleep for the first time in my life in a cinema.
Shutter Island was good but just didn't do the book justice, in my opinion.
I love you Phillip Morris
Good enough story with a great performance from Jim Carrey
A fair point well made, but then again it all depends on the bird now doesn't it!!;):)Quote:

The makers of these movies should watch "Fear & Lothing in Las vegas" or "withnail & I"
City of God - first time ive seen it in a few years. Hasnt changed much, still excellent.
Up In The Air - very good. Great performances from Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.
The Blindside - Better than i thought it would be. Sandra Bullock is fit.
Went to see Kick A** tonight and it was just the tonic I needed. Laughed my way through it and while it is a bit predictable it is still a good fun romp. Am still a bit worried about the young girl in it and how she dealt with all the blood and gore! For a fun night out, go see it and just relax and go with it. 8/10.
Watched "The Time Travellers Wife" yesterday ...
SPOILER: peado alert!!! : Well I'm standing here naked in front of a little girl because ...erm ... I'm a time traveller ... and that your honour is the case for the defence
just watched CLASH OF THE TITANS in 3D, decent enought show, didnt realise the time passing, but i must say i was expecting a much more intense battle at the end,
and also save your money and just go see it in 2D, this film wasnt made in 3D, they added all the 3D effects in due to the success of avatar, and it shows,
as a film id give it 7/10, and 3D effects a generous 3/10
watched shutter island and step brothers last nite.
shutter island was good, didnt really get the ending, maybe ill have to watch it again.
step brothers, p1ssed meself laughing all the way thru
Just watched the Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. What a load of rubbish. Very disappointed. Would give it 5/10 and those marks are only for the fine performances of Lily Cole, Heath and Jude Law. Rest were just mediocre.
Saw Kick Ass last night totally enjoyed it. Not going to win Oscars (although if ****e like hurt locker can do it) but one of the most entertaining films I've seen in a while. Even the girlfriend liked it, giving it the glowing recommendation "it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be"
Saw "Hurt Locker" last night ... Oscar for Best Film???? Seriously????
Average at best!
I'd go along with the thumbs up for Kick Ass-Very entertaining and great fight scenes/gore.The little girl will have some job topping this movie when she chooses her next part.
Nicholas Cage good in it as well.
Kick ass - 7 out of 10. Entertaining.
Zombieland - had to switch off after an hour. Bored the life out of me. Missus thought it was funny....
Aren't you the mean one switching it off while your missus was enjoying it!Quote:

Just awful. Dreadful plot, annoying cast, annoying product placement, schmaltzy Hollywood ending, didn't laugh once. Plenty of bikinis though to make up for it.
Up In The Air ... decent enough film
saw The Ghost on wednesday, so now you don't have to
terrible, terrible film. First twenty minutes are a battle to see who can do the worst English accent. Whoever cast Kim Cattrall as a political advisor should be shot. In total in the film, there's about 15 minutes of doing nothing except watching Ewan McGregor travelling by plane, car and boat, seriously. Two massive plot holes are never addressed. Olivia Williams (Adelle DeWitt in Dollhouse) is the best thing in it. I didn't know who had directed it until the end, nearly went into shock when I saw it was Roman Polanski in the credits, should have asked to have his named removed.

Over the weekend I waw an old Czech flick that won foreign language Golden Globe and Oscar. Called 'Kolya'. On sale in HMV for a fiver. Brilliant, funny, sad and feel good.
You might want to spoiler that for those that haven't seen it yetQuote:

(Got it on Amazon)
I had a pretty good idea just from the trailer (spoiler-heavy trailers are a pet peeve of mine, and they're two a penny these days).Quote:

Got around to seeing Kick Ass. Great fun, but it was a wee bit disturbing to see an 11 year old girl being thumped about the place and indeed hacking people's legs off..
Exactly what I thought! Hope she got well paid coz she is gonna need years of therapy!Quote:

Finally got to see "Sexy Beast",weird name for a really good crime film with outstanding performances from Ray Winstone & Ben Kingsley,the Spanish dream still alive in this movie.
I loved it. 9.5/10
watching my bloody valentine (not much of a horror, more of a triller) along the same lines as i know what you did last summer gick
also watched how to train your dragon, that was a good watch, i was surprised
Iron Man 2, thought it was class, maybe not as witty in some part as the first one was, but its deffinately one of the better sequels ive seen,
ive seen part 1 about 20 times so i couldnt make an absoulute call on it but is was fairly on par,
5/5, but dont go in expecting the world, its a fun film thats not made for oscar nominations,
Re-watched "The Boys from Brazil" to show some folks how a good concept can make for an interesting movie. I'd forgotten how well Olivier played the Weisenthal-type character, and how Peck was hammy but very scary. The one thing that always stuck in my mind about the movie was the little Paraguayan boy who purposely looks up through the gate and at Peck, then later in the film the same look but very different - thank to Mengele.
Going to watch The Informant and Green Zone this weekend. Saw Green Zone online but wasn't overly impressed, just hoping the big screen does it justice.
It didn't have any wow moments for me, but it's pretty good throughout.Quote:

The first film Chris Morris (Brasseye, The Day Today) has ever made is just out. Four Lions is worth a watch if you're not the type to find a funny depiction of incompetent suicide bombers offensive. Limited release though.
Films I watched in the last month or so and
Hurt Locker: very good Iraq war film 9/10
Inglourious Basterds Alright but very sill ending 6.5/10
The Firm( Remake of 1980's holigan film, pretty poor 5/10
Public Enemies Johnny Depp as notorious bank robber John Dillinger 9/10
District 9 7.5/10
Just watched "No man's land" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283509/. Decent show sums up a lot of UN so called intervention over the past few decades
Robin Hood. 4/10. Very poor.
A Frankenstein Monster of a plot that reminds you of scenes from Gladiator, Braveheart and bizarely Saving Private Ryan!!
