The Artist. The novelty of seeing a silent film in this day and age aside, it's a great show. Slower paced than your standard talking picture, and you soon get to see why because it takes time for silent actors to act out the emotions in the style that you only see in silent films.  Nice little twist at the end too.

not anymore there's not!

Senna is some show. Watched Trespass with Nicholas Cage, pretty awful

Has Nicolas Cage ever been in a good film (outside of Raising Arizona)?
the Rock was OK, but what else has he been in that's been any good?

Leaving Las Vegas - seeing as he won an Oscar for it for Best Actor

[Puckoon]

Face off and Con Air are certainly not bad films.

I watched Blitz last night with Jason Statham - an enjoyable enough auld yarn. Particularly liked his wielding of the Hurley at the start.

Ok I forgot about Leaving Las Vegas, it was a good show, but I wouldnt be too sure about Oscars being an indication of a good film.
Con Air was tripe....dont know why Buscemi and Malkovic ever agreed to be in it.
Face off..better than Con Air but way to cheesy to enjoy, and Travolta is just too nice to be a bad guy.

Red Rock West was one of the better ones.

Au contraire:



The problem with Face Off was the story and the script were shite.

Not having this at all! Right he has made some gash in his time, lately moreso than ever, but I would certainly say the following range from decent to good:

Rumble Fish
Wild at Heart
Raising Arizona
Red Rock West
Honeymoon in Vegas
Leaving Las Vegas
Lord of War
Adaptation
Matchstick Men
Bad Lieutenant
Kick Ass

Saw 21 Jump Street last night... It was surprisingly good. Good solid 7 out of 10.

DO NOT pay money to see The Hunger Games. Worst pile of tripe I've seen in a long time. Do not believe the high ratings it is bizarrely being given.

I quite enjoyed it to be honest. Maybe because I missed all the hype and wasn't aware it's a book.
