Ladder 49 is very good, but thought Greenzone was average at best.

Never really watched the full Rambo 3, but got to watch it at the weekend.  How did it not win any Oscar's?

5 Sams

Finally got round to watching Barton Fink which was on TG4 last night.....average enough compared to other Coen Brothers stuff.

Was at The A-Team tonight. I enjoyed it very much and I felt like I was transported back to the 80s again, when I was a small child. The banter being the characters was great and of course hearing the theme blast out in the cinema was brilliant. It's by no means a 'thinker', leave your brains at the door. Way over the top, but sure that's what you want from The A-Team.

I watched it last night too and was enjoying it up until the last scene at the harbour with that container ship. Previous to that some of the stuff was a bit exaggerated but that was par for the course but that last scene just ruined the film for me. This guy fires a rocket launcher into a container ship the size of two football fields and sinks it in 10 sec, then all the containers blow up and blow of the ship where B.A. dodges them like they're pillows. Why did you ruin a good film with that last scene you tool bags >:(
Be nice to the people you meet on the way up, because you may meet them on the way back down.

Big explosions and nobody dies, surely that's the stuff The A-Team's made of ;)

Did you stay on until after the credits?

Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz have a small cameo.

EDIT: Removed the YouTube clip. Too many spoilers in it, for people who haven't seen the film.

I watched 101 Dalmatians last night, it was very good but it annoyed me that there are several raccoons in it but they don't live in London.

It was up against Rain Man. Any other year it would have had a hat full of oscars.

Few films I watched last week:

Deliverance - not as great as it was made out to be I thought, had me captivated though the whole way through. 6.5/10

Oldboy - was as good as I had heard it to be, brilliant show, the action didn't take itself too seriously and the story was gripping. 8.5/10
