Movie recommendations

[The Iceman]

Thought Due Date was bad in fairness.
Few laughs but overall very disappointing - expected more from it

watched Ip Man II - if you are a martials arts fan well worth watching the first one and this one - Donnie Yen - based on Bruce Lee's trainer's early life.

Best martial arts film I have watched in a good while.

Watched another Donnie Yen film over the weekend there. The Return of Zen Chen. Based on the Bruce Lee movie Fist of Fury. They have a re-performance of Bruce Lee's famous scene where he takes on an entire Japanese Dojo, Yen is considered as one of the best of this era but he isn't a patch on Lee and thats with all the special effects....
Still worth a watch though some great action scenes

Watched Source Code on Saturday night - give it about 7.5/10. Was expecting better based on reviews I had read.

Was pretty good - though plot holes all over the shop. Entertaining though.
Dont think id give it that extra half point

A lot of deliberation spent on that half point. I like to hit the off switch when watching movies but the missus picks holes in every film she watches. It's very annoying.

Saw the original version of Let The Right One In last week. Disappointing considering the reviews it had got.

I half watched it while working. Emmm, a bit of unusual nudity in it too.

I also watched Orphan at the weekend and enjoyed it. That could be something to do with Vera Farmiga. Interesting storyline too.

Watched The Fighter for the first time at the weekend great show!

[tyrone girl]

Watched Orphan again the other night. Was still enjoyable second time round. Also watched unknown wasnt sure about it. Thought it started off well then it turned a bit stupid

[Canalman]

Saw The Long Good Friday at the weekend on dvd a for the 1st time in years. Has aged very well, cracking flick and a must see for those who haven't seen it yet. Loads of "pre stardom" actors in it with bitparts.

Unknown was pretty poor, a cross between Total Recall and The Bourne Identity.

Watched "The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" tonight. Not as good as the previous 2 films but finished off the story well and all in all an excellent trilogy.

Are they doing an English/American remake of them . . . it would be the type of movie that could translate well I would think.

There is already a trailer out for the first of the trilogy with Daniel Craig.  Would be really good if they used the same bad guy int e second and third American remakes, he was scarily freaky due to his size and immunity to pain.

What's the order of these films SE? I keep meaning to have a go at them but never quite sure which one I need to watch first!

Dragon Tatoo
Played with Fire
Hornets Nest

Daniel Craig is Blomkvist and Rooney Mara is Lisbeth with Fincher directing in Hollywood version.

On another note, I recently read that they are adapting the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child into films. In the book Jack Reacher is 6ft5, and signed up to play Reacher is..... Tom Cruise - shocking casting!
