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.

Just nearing the end of, The Shawshank Redemption

 

Never gets boring

 

Great film

Oliver Twist in the 1949 version, Alex Guinness playing Fagan has got the biggest hooter going, no wonder the film was banned in Israel.

Watched the latest X Men in 3D last night

 

Quite fun

Stand By Me on Netflix for me now, not seen it for a while, classic

Watched Kick Ass, enjoyed it

Watched the latest X Men in 3D last night

 

Quite fun

Lot's of fun on both an action film level and a massive nerd fest for geeks like me.

 

Plus plenty of this

Wolf of Wall Street, a bit disappointed to be honest. Every character wanted a fuckin slap, way to long, and how many orgy scenes can there be before you get bored. DiCaprio was good but over did it a bit but Mathew McConaughey stole it for me with the chest pumping scene.

 

All on all 6.5/10 and meh.

Stand By Me on Netflix for me now, not seen it for a while, classic

All classics

The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Hmmmm, still can't make my mind up what I watched and what was the point in the film.

In summary, the changing attitudes to Pakistani's in the US after 9/11. And their obvious paranoia. Got that. But over 2 hours. Not sure.

5/10.

the new Robocop

 

Pile of wank. Was tempted to turn it off

How was it a 2 hour film, the book is only 200 bloody pages and if I remember is just a monologue between two guys. Thoroughly enjoyed the book so I imagine I should swerve the film?

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit -  Usual Jack Ryan vs terrorist baddies stuff. Okayish.  6/10

 

The Railway Man - Excellent.  True story about a Brit who was a WWII PoW in Japan. Got dust in my eye at the end.  8/10

Can't be arsed going through the full thread but watched Dallas Buyers Club on Saturday, immense.

 

I agree about Wolf on Wall Street, it was like watching a poor man's Goodfellas. Oh and yes, way too long.

Watched 'before the Devil Knows You're Dead' again last night. I'd forgotten just how bad Albert Finney's performance was. He ruins an otherwise brilliant film with his over the top hammy acting.

'Dumb and Dumber To' trailer:

agree on DBC; very good indeed...I wasn't sure from the first half hour but it was excellent

 

  

'Dumb and Dumber To' trailer:

 

Saw that trailer earlier; I reckon this will be one sequel that won't disappoint

 

I like it, I like it a lot

'The Hunger Games'. What a pile of shite.

It's taken you 20 years to get around to watching it?!

 

Deprived childhood you.

 

Brilliant film and that's all I gotta say about that.

I was 23 20 years ago so hardly a depraved childhood but thanks for the compliment

 

Just one of those films I never got round to watching.

 

I loved it, really enjoyed it and has stood the rest of time, didn't seem dated at all.

Got The Raid 2 on the list.

 

If its half as good as the first one it'll be a belter.
