What is Shutter Island like?  I am tempted by it but then again it looks like one of those stupid supernatural movies from certain clips I have saw, is it any good?

Just watched 'Green Zone', great show. Had the blood boiling

Weird, I saw it the night before last too.
It was mediocre, nothing new in the story so I dont know how it had the blood boiling?

Good action film with some nice effects but I found it a bit pretentious.
It was as if it was the film was whistle-blowing on the whole story when everyone already knew what happened.

Its crazy that countries like America get away with it. If it was anyone else they could face a war crimes tribunal.

Agree with most of that. Wonder how the film went down in Amerique? The film ended a bit sharpish too. Was hoping to see Bush in the Hague, and then hanging from a noose.

Nothing supernatural in it. More of a 'psychological thriller'. I didn't think it was up to much.

Watched Get Him to the Greek last night. I can't lie I found it really funny, hilarious in parts. It does what it says on the tin, Russell Brand and P Diddy are basically playing themselves in a movie but they have some cracking lines and the scene with the furry wall nearly had me off my chair. Quite crude in parts but very worth it. Best comedy I've seen in a long time.

Also can't wait to see Inception!!!

I have to admit I fell asleep during it. Ordinary stuff really. Like the man said there were no revelations in this movie for anyone above the age of 18.

I've seen both... Munich recently but haven't seen Road to Perdition in a good while. Munich is a serious flick, you can't look passed it

Munich is well worth a watch. Like Celt man it's been too
many years since seeing Road to Perdition to comment on it - which might point to the fact that it wasn't memorable!

Too late now but you should've watched C). All The Presidents Men on TG4.

Pure classic.

Agreed, it was brilliant!

Road to Perdition is excellent in my opinion, one of my favourites. It is not an either or choice, both Movies Munich and Road to Perdition are highly rated.

Which one did you watch?

paco

Couldn't decide so made some room on Sky+ and recorded both! I have some amount of films recorded this past month or so that I will get the chance to watch this week. Watched Leaving Las Vegas, a good film but I found it quite depressing.

Canalman

Munich imo very average.

Road to Perdition is a classic.Brilliant cast.
