You should watch Gomorrah it is an Italian gangster movie.Quote from: HiMucker on May 31, 2011, 10:59:36 AM
Saw NEDS there at the weekend and as someone pointed out average enough.
Seen three days later with Russel Crowe, good show but a bit for fetched.
Seen another film A Prohet, french subtitled, brilliant. Said on the back of box "God Father meets Scarface" that drew me in.
Plenty of great foreign language films out there if you can out up with reading subtitles. I mentioned a few pages back a couple. Mesrine - about a famous french bank robber, good show and the other one was Tell No One. Brilliant. Im just wondering has anybody took me on and watched them, and what they thought of them.
Ah aye got Secret in their Eyes to watch tonight. Argentinian film, won an oscar, anyone seen it?

One time in the rugby club bar in Drogheda, I was getting a round which included a Paddy. I saw the barman fill a Powers. I said nothing until everything was in. Just as I was about to pay, I said "hold on" and I picked up the whiskey and had a good look at it. Then I took a sniff and said to the barman "that's not Paddy, that's Powers". Dirty look, whiskey replaced, not a word.
I'm small-minded enough to have taken great pleasure from that and a small victory for the punter against the massed ranks of the contemptuous floggers of alcohol is no harm.
Quote from: Don Johnson on May 31, 2011, 01:15:18 PMKnow what you mean Don. But I read on the internet that nearly the whole film was him in prison, so it sort of braced me for the fact that it wouldn be a as glamorous andwasnt going to be the same meteoric rise of a ganster like in scarface or godfather. More realistic in a way and lends itself to a sequel. Vincent Cassel is a super actor. Must have a watch at those other films you mentioned.
I was slightly disappointed with Un Prophete, don't get me wrong it was a solid 7/10 but the reviews (like the one you mentioned on the back of the dvd case) maybe put up my expectations too much.
I really loved Mesrine though, excellent films. I think Vincent Cassel is a great actor though, watch La Haine, a film he did about the slums of Paris years ago, very good.
Have lent a few of those dvds out, would need to get them all gathered up.
Must look up that "Tell No One" film.
The Lives Of Others is a good German one about the Stasi secretly monitoring actors, musicians etc back in the 80s. Great show.

I've had experiences of the paranormal type. As a result of one, I've a terrible fear of mirrors.
Do tell Ziggy
No reflection on you of course.
My view would mirror Orior's statement
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 25, 2011, 09:34:06 PMThe cops telll you that there is no stats available to back up if an alarm actually reduces the chance of burglary but they still recommend one. Also seen a program with reformed burglars presenting it! and they said n alarm is definetly a deterrent to the average robber as he will just go to the next house that doesnt have one. Seem applies to gates in your drive and that. Did anyone else ver get the wee invisible markers off the cops that you mark all your stuff up with. Then if it gets stolen its shows up under UV light.
Dirty Cnuts!!
Yeah i hope the Bank machine has got them on camera.
I have a house alarm but how many times have you heard a house alarm go off and no one actually call round and check? Ive checked the neighbours out a few times but seem to be on my own, with my hurling stick!!

Quote from: J OGorman on May 19, 2011, 10:56:28 AMFair point, were do ye draw the line. However, though I dont have a problem with the visit as I hope and think it will do more good than bad people shouldnt be lambasted for voicing there objection to it. I thinks unfair that the people who object are grouped with the scum bags who were protesting/burning bins in dublin.Quote from: rrhf on May 19, 2011, 12:16:39 AM
Yawn leo yourself. Mature debate only
Why dismiss Leo's point? Its getting fierce tiresome..how many anti-Lizzy folk on here claim the British dole, British housing benefit, support British soccer teams, take weekend breaks in Britain, buy British products, shop in British supermarkets, go / went to a British university, ie support the British and their economy?
