Cracking war film on tonight at c 1am in morning (grrrrrrr!!!!) called Days of Glory about a platoon of Algerians fighting for the French in WW2. Think on ITV and well worth a watch or skyplussing .

Saw Pan's Labyrinth at weekend. Fairy Tale theme type film, well worth a watch imo.

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.

There is a'so a masturbation scene gone wromg that makes the movie interesting.

watched the fighter last night. Best show i have seen in a while. Would reccommend it for Bale alone.

The second viewing was worse for me, couldn't sit through it all.

First time I saw it, Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant, but the story dragged on a lot and didnt really go anywhere.

Hardy · February 18, 2011, 11:20:47 AM

I gave up on it after an hour or so.

Celt_Man · February 18, 2011, 11:30:39 AM

On There Will Be Blood, I remember watching it in the last year or so, was very impressed with Day Lewis as usual - although thats nothing out of the ordinary there - but I was very let down by the movie as a whole... nothing bloody happens in it and then it just ends...

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.

Puckoon · February 18, 2011, 05:09:23 PM

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.
