Went to Zombieland. Enjoyed it a lot. Lots of laughs in it.
Two I saw recently:
Rashomon: I loved it. It's a fascinating story and I thought it was really well shot.
Muerte de un ciclista: A great film. I was really entranced by it. It was well paced for the most part and the filming was perfect. It had a very Hitchcock feel to it. I loved this one too.
saw The Men Who Stare At Goats tonight, was a bit meh, noting special, worth waiting for the dvd, 6/10
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
decent but John Travolta just doesnt pull it off as a bad ass.
The Soloist
good movie based generally around the issues of mental illness and friendship. A journalist from the LA Times befriends a homeless schizophrenic while writing a column about him. True story.
7/10
Loving my International Selection of movies at the minute.
Last watched Italian for Beginners. These kind of movies grip me. Anything that shows life as close to reality as it is. Its about a group of people who live different lives in a small Danish village and the link in the end of all these individuals is the learning of Italian.
Never quite gets going for me but witty at times and I like its simplicity. The hairdresser was pleasing on the eye too. Quite a fox actually.
Probably 6/10 for me.
- 13- Game Of Death,(Thai film)
A guy who's down on his luck and broke gets a phone call inviting him to play a game with cash prizes for tasks done,of course the tasks get harder as the money gets bigger-great idea for a movie with a proper budget.
7/10 (Much higher with more $$ available)
Watched Mongol at the weekend http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416044/
Good show but a bit overhyped IMO
Caught "The Long Good Friday" at about 2am in the morning on whatever channel. Had not seen this movie in years. Still brilliant. Hoskins as the cockney gangster and Brosnan in a bit part role as IRA man.
Watched Twilight the other nite and though "meh". The started to worry about my female creditials last night as I enjoyed beer and football and mulled over the thought that all other females who saw that movie loved it and cried during it.
My sons enjoyed it more than me. Worrying.
2012 - end of the world movie - 3 hours long awful stuff-
The last two films I saw were:
Today - The Hills Run Red. Shockingly shyte film. Lovely set of jabbers in it though.
Monday - 500 days of Summer. I dunno if its the wife wearing me down or if it is an actual good film, but I loved it. Could relate to a lot of the film too, which is probably life wearing me down (:)), but what became increasingly obvious to me is that if a film has good music then thats half the battle with me. I'd recommend it anyway,
Made poor Longfordian watch Farce of the Penguins last night. Jimmy and Karl are legends! Love that movie so much.
Two film I rented over the wekened
Watchmen:Good when compared to most superhero/comic film but wasn't too impressed. Rent it but don't buy
Star Trek:Enjoyed the new take on the series and the way they dealt with the changing histroy/destiny of the characters. Yer man Nero should of watched the back to the future films, messing with the space time continuum never worked out good for Marty McFly
2012: Stuff blows up. Except Mecca, because the makers were too scared. It's also way too long, at times I felt that the film was going to take until 2012. But, as I said, stuff blows up. 3/5

Watched "Shoot 'em up" the other day...Its a prime example of a leave your brain at the door type of film....Does exactly what it says on the tin...stuff gets shot to piece's...bit gory but because the film is so tongue in cheek its not really shocking...Good cast...Clive Owen Paul Giamanti and Monica Belucci(phwaor!!!) and other heads you'll recognise.
As for a rating...well if your looking for a laugh and a bit of fun...3.5/5 f your looking for a serious thriller with a well written watertight plot -1/5
Mad as a bag of cats. Clooney is on some serious gear this weather IMO.Quote:
