Movie recommendations

Black swan looks like a film made for the Oscars, were all the acting and hidden meanings are brilliant but its just not enjoyable, were your an intellect if you say "that was a great film".  I remember watching the daniel day lewis film  "There wiil be blood".  Jaysus the actin was great but afterwards I was askin why the heck i watched it, it was ok at best enjoyment wise.  Did anyone here think that it was a great show?

I experienced the same with "there will be blood". Love Day Lewis and he was brilliant in it but chewed up everyone else in the movie. I didnt think it was much of  a story and wouldnt watch it again.

Funny, I did watch it again over christmas and thought it was much better second time around.  It's definitely worth watching imo, not as good as No Country for Old Men, its big oscar rival that year but a good show all the same.

To be honest Bogball I also found "No country for old men" a bit of a drag also. Good dark movie but nowhere near deserving the critical hype it received in my opinion. However I think Im in the minority in this one because most people I know that watched it loved it.

Some of my friends felt the same about No Country For Old Men but I loved it.  One of my top five favourite films.  As for There will be blood, yes its good but I also thought it was overated.

Watched Fighter the other night.  Brilliant film.  One of Bales best films in a long long time.  As a massive Terminator fan I'd nearly forgive him for signing his name to that muck Terminator Salvation after watching his performance in this.

Watched the first half of "The Machinist" with Christian Bale last night. It's quite hard to look at how much he changed his body for this movie. Almost grotesque to look at him.

Toy Story 3 - Brilliant.

The Fighter - Fairly good.

Devil - Woeful.

I much prefer there will be blood. No country for old men is alright but just tails off at the last half hour. I don't understand the hype around it at all. Same for any Tarantino film i've ever seen.

Finally got around to seeing The Social Network. Must say thought it was a great show as they say around here. Fantastic screenplay from Aaron Sorkin and some great performances. Even from Justin Trousersnake.

Went to see The Fighter tonight, really enjoyed it. Thought Bale gave a knockout performance.

Finally got to watch Inception. Don't get the fuss. After an hour it became predictable and I couldn't give a damn.
