Fear Bun Na Sceilpe

Lone Survivor. Seen it last night, I enjoyed it, 7.5/10, very much a man's show though, so square off a couple of free hours if you can.

I watched "Lone Survivor" last night. It stars Mark Walhberg & Taylor Kitsch as Navy Seals in Afghanistan (Apparently based on a true story). I thought it was very good with excellent performances from the leading actors. Even if you are not into this type of movie you should watch it to the end to enjoy Peter Gabriel's version of David Bowie's "Heroes" over the credits.

Wolf of Wall Street is very good.  Butbe warned if you are easily offended, its pretty hardcore.  Di Caprio was brilliant.

Prisoners was good, dragged out a bit in the middle and had an annoying ending but still good.

About Time was good too.

Was thinking the other day that in 2013 I had watched a lot of films and to be honest I struggled to think of ones that were really good.  The Jake Gylenhall Cop one was probably the best I watched last year and Dark Skies would have been up there too.

Was this the bum scene I have heard about? Friend took her 17 year old son to it and was uncomfortable during some scenes.

End of Watch. Absolutely fantastic film.

Watched American Hustle at the weekend, not massively impressed with it, was a decent enough show but to me was maybe 20mins too long.

The bum scene was the worst, when he sniffed cocaine from a hookers ass crack!  It was rough!

Wolf on Wall Street........not a bad show, but 3 hours running time is overlong.

Has anyone seen that movie about yer man buried alive? It's a recent one, a couple of years old maybe. Onlyhas a lighter and mobile or something. I was panicking like feck one day while they were talking about it on the radio. I'd probably need therapy after it, but I still have the urge to watch it. Anyone seen it?

I saw it and enjoyed it. Incredible how they managed to make a movie so entertaining with just Ryan Reynolds confined to a coffin.

Saw Wolf of Wall Street last night. Very enjoyable if on the whimsical side. Rarely have I seen a film so  totally dominated by the one actor. 8/10.
