Finally got around to watching Locke.
It reminded me of an audio book - you really didn't need to watch in fairness. Painted a good picture for one man driving in a car talking on his phone but not great either: 6/10

Captain America II : Definitely enjoyable/watchable - not Marvels best but I didn't expect it to be. 6/10

Come on you must know a bit more about concrete than before you watched it!

Thought captain America 2 was a lot better than the first one.

Seen Oldboy with josh brolin.  Not as good as the original, but didn't understand why it was completely panned by the critics.  Thought it was decent.  I'd imagine the twist would be good if you didn't see the original. 6/10

300 rise of an empire.  Pure muck.  Weird sex scene all the same where you see Eva greens bangers bouncing about. 3/10

Monuments Men.  Decent show, easy watching 6.5/10

The road.  Don't know how do describe this.  Not enjoyable, but absolutely compelling viewing.  The tension is unreal.  8/10

The counsellor.  Good show but wouldn't be for everyone 7/10

Epic.  Watched this with the kids.  Think I enjoyed it more than them 7/10

Saw The Counsellor a few months ago, thought it was pretty poor.

Thought Epic was good as well, and Captain America 2 was good compared to the first one.

Saw the Two Faces Of January too, was pretty good.  Turned Grudge Match off after twenty minutes.

Watched Green Street again at the weekend. Can't for the life of me understand how it got so much bad press. Excellent film imo. Reckon some just couldn't get around the fact Elijah Wood was in it.

for very good reason... plays a Harvard student who rather logically becomes a "come an hav a go if yer think yer hard enough" die hard hammers hooligan... message of the movie is that he comes away a better person for loyally backing up small minded c*ntish behaviour outside pubs/down alleyways. The whole premise of extolling the honour, loyalty and virtue of gutter Cockney-geezer soccer hooliganism is laughable. Would recommend The Firm, the Gary Oldman film as a solid alternative for the scummy reality and hopelessness of the hooliganism era.

+1

Was not believable on any level including Woods' role.

His bro in law (the lad out of Hustle) is impossible to like

Although Claire Forlani (his wife in that) is incredible

I liked Green Street.  It was a lot more believable than Captain America, The Hobbit or many of the other films ranted and raved about on here.  Jeesus.

Watched Green Street not to long ago also, Eijah Woods character was merely a point of entry for the viewer, nothing more! Plenty of quotes from it all the same!

Also watched Snatch too, in my opinion the ultimate brit cockney gangster film, good story, funny and gypsy fighting! The other half couldn't see the appeal though! Even Vinnie Jones impressed!

[mrdeeds]

Never mind Green Street. The ultimate hooligan movie is ID. Stars Billy Mitchell.

I don't care what some people say about Snatch it is an absolute classic film. The one liners are great, the storyline is great, the characters are great. It's never going to win too many awards but it's just an all round entertaining film!

This is true - great show. I'll have to watch it again though, was sure Robert Carlyle had starred but wiki told me otherwise

+1. Brilliant.  Probably my favourite film.  Brad Pitt is outstanding in it.
