QuoteInto the Wild.
I watched it again last night and was very impressed.
I really feel for the guy's parents having to watch rather unsympathetic on-screen portrayals!

But if thats how they were then why feel sorry?

The X Files was crap, nothing supernatural about it and boring as hell.  Hancock was good, ending ruined it and it had the potential to be a really good film.  I watched Insomnia with Al Pacion and Robin Williams, good show.

anyone seen changeling, the film with angelina jolie in its main role. Looks good.

Been watching Xmas movies flat out at the weekend. Watched Casino Royale again on Saturday in the vain hope of seeing it in the cinema over Xmas! Anyone know if it is still on?

I enjoyed it. Obviously not the most realistic film, but Maria Bello is very easy on the eye and William hurt hammed it up very well.

Eastwood generally doesn't disappoint with his films. Haven't seen it yet though.

The Business is very good, and the music in the film is top class.  If you liked it you would probably like Sexy Beast and Rise of The Footsoldier.

The Iceman

cassandras dream was horrible - ewan mcgregor and colin farrell - started bad - stuck with it just n case but it was useless IMO

Grid Iron gang with the Rock was on TV the other night - not a bad show  if you are into sports inspired movies.  Another favourite of mine in that genre is Coach Carter

Is this the same movie? With Viggo Mortensen and the most gratuitous sex scene Ive ever whitnessed? Im not complaining about the woman, but the plot was terrible.

Watch Zack and Miri make a porno if you get a chance... now if ever there were gratuitous sex scenes this film has them! Very funny I will give it that though.

I thought it was Hollywood pap. The plot was ridiculous as Puck said, but also predicatble. William Hurt did a grand bit of OTT acting all right. And yes - I was amazed at the first sex scene, especially.
