what did people think of the blind side?

only got around to watching it last nite but i must say it was better than expected.

Wasn't expecting much from it either, especially with SB in it but thought it was very good.

blind side is a pretty good watch, didnt know what to expect either, but was pleasently surprised.

Watched Rambo no 1 and Boogie Nights again last night on ITV4. Both cracking shows.

Finally got around to watching The Ghost (Writer) with Ewan McGregor.

Thought it was alright, but very overrated, was hardly the suspense filled thriller I'd been led to expect.

Can't believe they made a film of it, thought the book was dung.

Stone with De Niro and Ed Norton in it ... Load of shite.

One of the worst films I have seen. Boulder dash

Fell asleep half an hour into Donnie Darko last night, did I miss much? I see This Is England is on tonight, too. Have heard good reports so must watch it.

Donnie Darko's ok, not the masterpiece some make it out to be in my opinion.

This Is England is excellent.

Polanski wanted make another Harris book, Pompeii (thought it was crap) but didn't get the green light for some reason.

Watched Limitless last night,there is a great torrent of it on piratebay.
I thought it was a decent film.

If somebody told me the story of Donnie Darko and said do you want to watch that movie, I would say no. However watching it, it is just a very good profound, deep and memorable movie. It is not unique but very well done.

Anyone here looking forward to Thor?

No. Why? It looks like fairly crude, standard Hollywood rubbish that I watch all the time. Why might this be any better?

Watched the Next Three Days recently with Russell Crowe. Surprisingly good show, fast paced towards the end, very engaging and I really enjoyed it.

Fast Five - If you're into this type of shite you'll love it, if you're not you'll hate it.
