Just after watching Gran Torino there. Excellent film and a refreshing differences from the usual 'Hollywood' nonsense I usually watch. As usual, Clint can do no wrong.

Denn Forever's right, the proposal is watchable, quite funny in bits, expected it to be much worse. 

Cinema packed though, and I was one of about 5 men in the place  :-\
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?

Watched the first 20 minutes of Benjamin Button. I'd rather have watched Jenson Button.

Could tell from the trailer it was one to avoid.
A good film starring Brad Pitt is a rare beast imo.

Really?

Oceans ..11 yes. Rest of the series shit and anything good in 11 wasn't down to him.
Babel
. Shit.
Snatch
. Shit.
Fight Club
. Good. Again, I said rare not non-existant.
Sleepers
. Good-ish.
12 Monkeys. He was good in this.
Seven
. Over-rated. See Oceans 11 for further details.

How in your right mind could you think snatch was shit?

What do you look for in a movie that snatch didn't have other than romance (and btw the big rabbit gets fucked)?

Carmen Stateside

Snatch one of my all time favourites !
Still laugh everytime i see the following part;

i watched that film "Doubt" on DVD at the weekend there. Meryl Streep and Philip Seymore Hoffman (excuse my spelling)...

i really enjoyed it and would recomend it.  Two powerful performances which sort of leaves you to make up your own mind if the priest is guilty or not. anyone seen it?

Snatch is good, as is Legends of the Fall, River Runs Through It, 7 Years in Tibet and even Meet Joe Black.

Snatch was pure drivel, as was Lock Stock. 8 out of 10 people I discuss this with completely disagree with me and I can't understand it. They would rate these films as all time favourites. Guy Ritcie makes chessy Brit gangster cringe material. I really hate them. Painful viewing in fact.

Well that's just not true.

Lock Stock was brilliant, far better than Snatch, though Snatch was quite good.

My biggest problem with it was it didn't leave you to draw your own conclusions. It's very clear who the directors/authors sympathies lie with, which I believe is not the case with the book.

American History X- for the 15th time
