Went to the cinema last night to watch Hot Tub Time Machine. Good craic and plenty of laughs in it. It's in the same vein as The Hangover, so if you enjoyed it, you'll like this also. Was also great seeing Chevy Chase back on the big screen again, even if it was only a small role he had.

So if you liked The Hangover and like cheap laughs, it's not a bad way to evening.

I don't like westerns.

I blame the oul boy for repeatedly watching the good the bad and the ugly.  Couldnt stand it.

You wouldnt have lasted a day back then. You'd have been shot in the back comin out of an old saloon.

(For bein cantankerous). ;)

Seen Robin Hood tonight, fuckin brilliant! Some great battle scenes. Most enjoyable film I seen in a long time. Can't wait for the sequel.

I agree with you Pints, sick of them. Dad watched a lot of them when I was growing up, so that probably what sickened me to them. He's watching one on TG4 now.

i tried to watched "i'm not there" last night... watched about 40mins but just couldn't get into it...

is it worth watching the end?
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Finally got to see Clash of the Titans & Hot tub Time Machine, titans wasn't a patch on the original they seemed to put more effort into the 3d effects but it had some good scenes  & hot Tub was enjoyable (squirrel bit really funny) hangover is still better than this IMO

I would recommend both films but don't expect classics, time to watch Robin hood, Iron man 2 & looking forward to Predators in July  :)

Showing my age here...but...we won the Rice Cup in 1975...beat St Marys Belfast in the Final in Davitt Park...our reward was watching The Good,The Bad and The Ugly on a big screen in the assembly hall and all the minerals and crisps you could handle....the boots were filled :)

It was rubbish... a poor man's Brave Heart. Rubbish story, predictable battles and a very pointless movie.

Nonsense.
Pointless movie? all movies are pointless.

A poor man's Braveheart might not necessarily be a bad thing? Also got to watch Man on Fire after recording it on Thursday, good show, wasn't quite as emotional as I had been led to believe, good film all the same.
