Anybody seen Che (Parts 1 & 2)? Seen a few reviews for them and sounded good. Would be interesting as I thought The Motorcycle Diaries was one of my favourite films. Top fifteen/twenty anyway.
seen part 1, was okay, it's supposed to be the better of the two.  I thought motorcycle diaries was better, interesting show, but I wouldn't have it in my top 20.

Took in The Crazies over the week-end a bit better than your typical pandemic/horror movies up there with 28 days/weeks later.

7.1/10

Anyone any reccomendations for a wee trip to the cinema tonight?

I'm told From Paris Will Love is meant to be good.
Whoever told you that needs their head examined, Worst flim I've seen in a long time! It was so cringeworthy at times it wasn't funny.

This is what I've heard. A boy on the radio last week was saying some of the stuff in it is so ridiculously cringeworthy that it'll probably become some type of cult classic in a few years.

You want a 10 out of 10, order Bloodsport with JCVD.  Its got it all, intercontinental action, romance, great dialogue (O.K USA), emotion (JCVD handing Jackson back his Bandanna and Jackson telling him he will be there for him 'Anytime, anywhere') and the splits.  Oh, and what other actors do you see breaking a brick at the bottom of a pile by using the palm of their hand and hitting the one at the top.

As for Good Will Hunting, I must be a sucker for Matt Damon films as I would rate that up there with the best but then again I would say the same about Rounders and the Legend of Bagger Vance.

is The Invention of Lying starring David Brent worth the watch?

Watched Edge of Darkness @ the weekend, decent enough show

From Paris with Love is not to be taken too seriously, then you won't find yourself cringing.

That's what the ones told me. Cheesy, but the film knew it was, so it was good.

There is a limit though! Not to spoil anything for anyone who might want to watch it, but the climax of the filmrevolves around a love story, I mean for the type of film it is you just think, come on this doesn't fit!

invention of lying should have been decent, decent premise, but it is really, really, really shite.

Was at Alice in Wonderland tonight. The visuals were amazing, the 3D worked really well with it. Johnny Depp was fantastic as the Mad Hatter, although Scottish for some reason. Looking at the credits at the end of the film, there was some cast on it. Christopher Lee, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Barbara Winsdor.

With all that, there seemed to be something missing with the film. At the ingredients were right, but it just didn't come together. Enjoyable story and very dark, just missing something.

Enjoyable very Dark story sounds like a Tim Burton film alright, Johnny Depp must be the best character actor around?

but strange how he looked like Madonna in this film

The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

I'm not a Tim Burton, only like 3 of his films.

Never noticed the likeness between the Mad Hatter and Madonna before.

Watched 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' on DVD.

The most thought provoking film I've ever seen. Took me and the missus days to get over it.

I always thought that the Shawshank Redemption should have had a dark ending but after watching Striped Pajamas I have changed my mind.
