I thought the new version of 'The Texas chainsaw masacre' was better than the original.
Cabin Fever is a bit of a black comedy, not bad.
My three main problems with Troy were;
-No light/funny scenes at all-even really tragic movies normally have 'em
-Historical accuracy was poor-every Trojan was made out as an honourable, patriotic, kind, family oriantated saint whilst every Greek (with the exception of Sean BEan) was a raping, priest-killing, baby murdering scumbag.
Somehow I don't think it would have been like that in real life-also in the legen Archilies (sp?) didn't have 'issues' like in the movie-he knew what he's akll abnout where as in the movie he would have been best at a phycyatrist!
-Brad Pitt :D
Got Spiderman 2 on DVD-have yet to watch it............................O no that was a joke I don't really own it on DVD, never seen a pirate DVD in ma life ;)
Flatmate rented 'The Time Machine' & me nothing to do last monday post Nijmegen. Think i started to fall asleep half way through & down there with 'Dude Wheres My Car?' as worst movies of last 10 years.
:eek:

Got Veronica Guerin the other day, I know it's been out a while but I'd never got round to getting it. Thought it was excellent.
Also got The Missing... not bad although I wouldn't go outta my way for it.
Van Helsing.........brutal :mad:
Thought Veronica Guerin was only okay, glad I didn't pay into the flicks for it. Watched In America over the weekend, pretty similar to above - okay, but glad I just got a loan of it...
got a loan of Big Lebowski and Millers Crossing the other day - great watching - pity i missed these gems when they came out
Big Lebowski=one of the all time greats, KingPin also a super movie

Decent flick for a remake.
Shrek 2 was class. Troy and Day after tomorrow were a total waste of time.
Went to the cinema one friday i was off and wandered into that one, had no idea what it was about, but as you say it was a decent flick. If your into southern inbreds and their madness, go for it.Quote:

Just seen;
Matchstick Men (DVD)-Funny, light, class twist, worth a watch, good film
Spiderman 2 (Cinema)-Good action/humour, accurate to the Marvel comic if you ever read any of them, enjoyable, worth seeing
Well i watch a few foreign language films to try and keep the languages up, the following are all good films ive seen recently... :-
- La Haine (French) ~ about city life in Paris
- Run Lola Run (German) ~ one start, 3 different endings (like "Go")
- Malena (Italian) ~ Sicily in WWII
- No Man's Land (Serbo-Croat) ~ A funny take on the Bosnia crisis.
- La Vita e Bella (Italian)
- City of God ~ Crime problems in Rio
The Sopranos is good too, I think thats on DVD (but its a series).
speaking of foreign films.
"devdas" is brilliant.its about 3 hours long set in india and the soundtrack/score is mesmorising.
I saw xXx on telly the other night, what a crock of sh!t
