A brutal film to watch, as you didn't know what anyone's agenda was and it was so dark. Lewis was fantastic in it, but sure when isn't he. I enjoyed the film, watched it twice now within the year. I think that's all I can muster now for a wee while.

I think its a good movie, but ita also one of those times that the flick is talked up maybe a wee bit more than it should be because of who the director is.

By the Ziggy, I love the Av. That was one of the best bits of TV the Beeb ever put out.

Watched Inception and Toy Story 3 recently. 2 great films, best i've seen in a good while.

Tony Baloney

Watched Toy Story 3 (2D) yesterday with #2 son. Excellent show. The missus went to see it in 3D afterwards with #1 son and said the 3D version was unnecessary.

You should't rate your children like that. Love them all equally man

Watch There will be blood last night and thought it was excellent. Best film I have seen in a long time. Great music score by Johnny Greenwood, provided a very dark mood and enhanced the drama a lot.

Canalman

There Will be Blood is massively overrated imo. Lewis really hams it up.

Saw Quodrophenia on Saturday  night..... interesting movie and very watchable. Obviously a tad dated.

Goats Do Shave

I watched "Donkey Punch" at the week end...

Terrible, yet very watchable!  ;)

Thought there will be blood was middling at best, Lewis was good but verging on hamming it up IMO, thought the same with his character English Bob? in Gangs of NY.  Took the kids to see Toy Story 3 and have to say I was very disappointed considering the rave reviews it got.

Best movie i have seen this past decade is No Country for Old men, that is a movie.  There isn't a bad performance it in but Javier Bardem is just fantastic.

Agree 100% on "No Country For Old Men".

"No country for Old Men" is the over rated movie. After all the great movies the cone ???brothers made and they give them a hat full of oscars for this one. They knew their time had come and it was made for oscars but was not a great movie.

Only thing I remember about No Country for Old Men was being disgusted at the ending! Never watching it ever again!

Seen Inception tonight and it seriously messed with my head!

REALLY CANNOT WAIT TO THIS ONE:

I agree, to call it the best movie of the past decade is taking the le tiss, you would be here all day listing more suitable candidates for that title.

Once again agree that NCfOM is massively overrated. Really let down after watching it.

I loved it... Loved the ending too! - Why do you need to be told what happens? - You've got an imagination!

Possibly the Best "baddy" ever!
