Movie recommendations

I have just watched "out of the furnace"

The cast of Christian Bale, Woody Harlleson, Forrest Whittaker, Willam Dafoe, Casey Afflek & Tom Bower should entice anyone into watching this movie.

There are strong performances all round and in particular from Woody Harlleson.

(Spoiler) The ending lifts this film above the normal Hollywood production. If I have to give it a score 8.5 out of 10.

22 Jump Street is well worth watching. It is very funny in parts.

Edge of tomorrow a sci fi with Tom Cruise is  good entertainment.

I would give them both 8 out of 10.

Hannah - good start but kinda petered out a wee bit 6/10
Monuments Men - really enjoyable show with a quare cast 7.5/10
Searching for Sugarman - wow. Excellent show 9/10

Good show.  Watched Old Boy and Jack Ryan at the weekend.  Old Boy was ok, Jack Ryan was very good.

Watched the summit there on rte, great show/documentary

Jack Ryan was shite. Franchise should have been left buried.

Edge of Tomorrow was very enjoyable, if a bit contrived at the end. Tom Cruise needs to stop making apocalyptic alien movies though.

Saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes too and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one.

Watched "Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas".

Great acting, but no plot nor story. A truely bizarre film.

Well the book was written by a truly bizarre man.

I was just about to say you should read the book!

Just watching Happy Gilmore on television, and one of the background tunes was Rock n' Roll by Gary Glitter. Now what was he famous for?

Happy Gilmore was released in 1996... Glitter was caught in 1997!

What are you supposed to do in that case? In fairness it's a good song but are we not supposed to like the song because he's a paedo?

On another note this thread has been very quiet this last while. Can we put that down to the amount of dross out in the cinema these days? The last 2 films I've watched were "A Million Ways to Die in the West" and "Bad Neighbours"... horrible films!

[nrico2006]

The last two I watched were Sleepless in Seattle and Colombiana.  Need for Speed is next.

Been toying with the idea of watching this and I've heard Fiennes is brilliant in it but I'm just not a Wes Anderson fan I think.

Royal Tenenbaums
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Rushmore

All films I didn't really care for/get!

I loved Fantastic Mr. Fox though.

Wasn't mad on any of those films either but really enjoyed this one. Fiennes is hilarious, delivery of some of the lines is gas. You're an inanimate facking object type moments a few times...
