Saw the Bourne Ultimatem a few weeks ago. brilliant show. better than the other 2 also which tells you how good it is.
Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Dogma , Clerks 2
Not obscure but not exactly mainstream either
Saw Hairspray last week. Really Enjoyed it. Any film that has John Travolta in a female fat suit dancing with Christopher Walken has to be worth seeing anyway.
Would be a good "date" film.
Going to Die Hard 4 tonight. Heard it's good. any comments?
You heard right. A hacker-oriented plot, but if that doesn't bother you, it's good fun.Quote:

I'd second those sentiments, and add that Jason Bourne > James BondQuote:

Catch A Fire
The Last King Of Scotland
I enjoyed that alright, first proper British gangster movies in ages, and it felt good to be rid of Guy Ritchie's stereotypesQuote:

Charlie Kaufman + Spike Jonze = Movie Heaven.
I enjoyed Ultimatum and it's the first movie I've seen this summer that was above average. I don't think it surpassed number 2 but it was still enjoyable. ****ed all over the so called summer blockbusters.
We agree on something! :eek:Quote:

If that kind of thing is your bag then I recommend "Once Upon A Time In America" with De Niro and James Woods, if you haven't seen it. Superb film. Pees all over the Godfather trilogy in my view.Quote:

I've seen "The Seventh Seal" and "Persona".
Seventh Seal was quite good I thought. A fairly simple story about life and death.
Persona is bit tougher going. Only 2 characters and long sections of dialogue but very good and one to make you think.
taxi driver, raging bull, deer hunter, once upon a time in america (pettern developing there ;)) rounders,swingers,fear and loathing in las vegas,napolean dynamite,
shawshank redemption, scarface, all the godfathers, cinderella man, man on fire, hurricane, seven, braveheart, michael collins, some mothers son, in the name of the father, anchor man, wedding crashers, reseroir dogs, pulp fiction, the exorcist, 300 spartans, even transformers!!
A lot of good films in there alright but seriously? Man on Fire? Thought it stank.Quote:

Far too disturbing to be honest, I wouldn't watch it if given the choice againQuote:

Was talking to an Aussie about that, and whilst the incident is based on a true story (i.e. the backpackers getting lost, and one of them being arrested for what happened) he said that the bushman story is kinda like a boogeyman tale over there and he's not sure the movie should have represented it as based solely on one storyQuote:
