Another good Di Caprio flick on Film4 later, Gangs of New York.

Love it. I'll be watchin that.

It was on last night! But Film4 usually repeat films after a few days so it should be on again soon.

"Watchable" is probably the best compliment you could pay to any show that Danny Dyer's in.

Agree well worth a watch. Great soundtrack. Have to say I like Dyer as an actor........... must be in a minority of one.

Gone Baby Gone just didn't do it for me. Badlly acted, seemed to me the actors mumbled alot.

Good show.  If you like it you should watch Rise of the Footsoldier or Sexy Beast, both very good.

IMO doesn't hold a candle to the original film

Zodiac Was on RTE last night thought it was a decent film, tell's a true story of the Zodiac killer from the 60s in San Francisco

Inception. Meh. Entertaining couple of hours but nothing all that special. Despite the efforts to be overcomplicated, it's pretty much just a run of the mill action sci-fi for the most part. Enjoyable enough on that level, but with the massive plot holes and general bullshitery of it all I don't think you're really supposed to think about it that much.

Di Caprio was good, Tom Hardy was good, Ken Watanabe was good, and the FX were good.

Ellen Page was shit and poorly cast, Cillian Murphy was as annoying as usual, and the final scene felt like a stupid pointless gimmick.

Ach don't tell me that! If it is pretentious and po-faced and takes itself seriously then I'll be seriously disappointed.

It's not a bad movie, but I just don't understand why I keep hearing people describe it as 'intelligent' or 'thought provoking'. It's just a decent action flick.
