Twilight - is a teen romance flick aimed at the 14-16 year old girlie market. Wished they had said told me cos as a 30-something year old man I felt like a complete degenerate cunt/peado in a dark cinema. The story was a load of bollocks where vampiricism is used as a metaphor for the lead character's virginity.

Bring out a sequel to 30 Days of Night!!!
 
Slumdog Millionaire

About an orphan boy from the slums of Mumbai who has become a contestant of the 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' in India. The film uses the show to reveal chapters of his life.

There are moments of heart-breaking, heart-warming which bring tears to my eyes. And don't you just love a happy ending? Very well made.

Highly recommend.
 
Transformers - surprisingly enjoyable since I was too old for the toys, hate Michael Bay films and thought the plot sucked. :D

No Country for Old Men - better the 2nd time, because you cope better with the endless tension and can pay closer attention to some of the details

Cry Baby - awesome as ever
 
A Taste Of Honey - groundbreaking kitchen sink drama from 1961 tackling inter-racial pregnancy, homophobia etc. The shots of the Manchester dockland slums are incredible.

It didn't end did it? There's going to be second part which I ain't going to watch it. The first one is stupid enough.

No, the ending of the film I meant

Didn't know there was gonna be a second part. I'm a massive fan of the trilogy, and was deeply disappointed at the ending of this film when we went to see it at the pictures, but still watched it again on dvd cos the rest of the film was much better than I expected

I feel like I've done nowt but watch the Wire S4, but that may be due to a marathon 5 episode viewing yesterday :D

Mongol - What a disappointment.

Yeah - they rushed it. First 1/4 was great and true.
Then they went all Omar Sheriff - Genghis was never a slave!

Enjoyed The Purple Rose of Cairo. Fantasty vs. Reality. She chose reality in the end...

I studied that in college - you know, there was no truth.

T'is indeed.......but that's what is good about it !


See i quite like a bit of ABBA but have no desire to see in in the form of a musical.......this apparently makes me a bit weird according to most of the women i know !
 
Cass - was good, i liked it but then i always like films like this, true storys and football thugs..

Adulthood - Not as good as the first and the whole matrix type scene at the end made me laugh so much. but a good waste of one hour 30 mins, some good actors in this, that bird from enders and the dude from dead set.

Fred Clause - Funny heart warming etc.. nice crimbo movie :)

Richard Pryor Marathon - Bustin loose, Silver Streak, Brewster's Millions, and his roast from the Richard Pryor show 1977 - fucking A !!!

erm, watched some od the new remake of the women, but yeah like whatever... we wont talk about that.

I was made to watch that film (I cant even bring myself to type its name) a couple of days back as well. Your desires seem perfectly reasonable to me, a film totally devoid of merit. Why seeing Pierce Brosnan being utterly unable to sing is meant to be a good thing, I really dont know.

To make up for it, i finished watching Band of Brothers instead, surprisingly bloody good (even if they did that all too american thing of denying that the concentration camps were full of communists, socialists, trades unionists, and gays, as well as jews and other ethnic groups)

Magnificent TV series.
 
Doomsday - ...so in the near future, when the apocalypse comes...Scotland will be inhabited by anarchist clowns and Medieval twats. What a lame excuse for a film.
 
E17-20 of S7 of the West Wing. Election Day, Leo's fureral and the Transition episode...only got 3 to go and Wry and I have done all 7 Seasons since 14th November.

Last film at home was T2 Bluray, and it was awesomely awesome.
 
Yeah, on my own I could've probly dunnit over 2 weekends, but the missus get's 'over' shows if we blitz them too much.

Besides, means I've got more time to play games and watch Bluray movies now :D:D:D

Wall E

:eek:

Watched that last night. I found the first half quite charming. But when it came to where the story takes place in the ship with all the obese humans it gone slightly down hill from there.

Notice the reference to Apple products in the animation? The iPod, the startup chime of a Mac when Wall-E is solar-charged?
 
i watched 4 episodes of the Camomile Lawn the other night. i loved this first time around, and not JUST for the jennifer ehle bath scene

got the last one to go, maybe later
