Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

Finished Detroit. Very good watch. Shows how fucked up the racist police in the USA are. But you also see how an injustice leads to rioting and looting. The latter making no sense. 

Watched Soul Boy night. Was ok. Some great tunes.

Capone on Netflix with Tom Hardon has got potential to be the shittest film ever made.

So bad, nothing happens apart from him stumbling around for a couple of hours, dribbling, smoking carrots and the highlight of the film him shitting the bed. 

Just watched Elf for the first time, not a bad film, one of Will Ferrell's best

Coming 2 American they just about get away with it, wish was more of the Barbers in it

Will probably watch it as I liked the first one. Still think Trading Places was probably the best comedy Eddie Murphy did

Is a little nod to the Dukes in it.

Interesting, Murphy's one of those actors who can do the odd funny film, but mix it with an awful lot of crap too

My Daughter is making me watch Norbit ffs! 

I did say I would watch a film of her choice today, but fuckin Norbit, it's got a couple of funny bits in it, she obviously thinks it's funny.

You poor bastard, my sympathies go to you.

When that's done try and get The Nutty Professor on, at least that's got some really funny bits in it.

Watched it last night. Sort of knew what I was getting so enjoyed it. Some laugh out loud moments in it. 

@Casino based on the “30” films you’ve seen what would make your top 5?

The reason I ask is because I’m watching Shawshank and I thought that must be in the 30

Currently watching 'Nightcrawler' Jake Gylenhal is pretty creepy and superb, decent film 👌🎥🎬

He’s brilliant in that. Prisoners he’s brilliant in as well

Top actor is Jake, was even good in Brokeback Deck Chair

Seen him in a few films and he doesn't disappoint, Zodiac, Bubble Boy and Donnie Darko to name but three.

 

His sister was pretty good in Secretary too

OK the special effects may look a bit hokey compared to today, but back in the day it was and still is a very scary movie. The transformation scene to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising is still a classic cinema moment.

Aye it’s dated but like you say it’s classic cinema. Some belting stuff like the porn cinema showing ‘See You Next Wednesday’ to get past the censors. Brilliant!!

Still think a lot of the horror films from the 70s and 80s still surpass what's around now, much prefer watching them.

Speaking of porn, also thought 70s porn films were a blast, not particularly sexy but points for entertainment value due to the bad acting.
