SPOILERS

Secratariat - The heart warming story about how a rich middle aged upper middle class american lady wife of a rich lawyer, inherits a large stud farm along with her Harvard professor brother. Her father who was breeding horses with the richest man in America had 2 pregnant mares, they decided to decide ownership of the 2 foals with a coin toss. The richest man in America won the coin toss and chose the wrong horse. Courageously the rich middle aged lady with the peroxide hair took credit for losing the coin toss, saying that was the horse she wanted all along. Once her senile father was dead she was free to bask in the media glory and enjoy the cash rewards of her fathers hard work while neglecting her children and leaving her sulky husband to look after them.

The horse wins the final race of the triple corown, the belmont stakes by the small margin of 31 lengths for millions of dollars more than she already had but fully expected because there were only 5 horses in the race as Secratariat was too good to race against. Sulky husband decides that this is not such a bad thing after all. THE END.

SPOILERS OVER


Secratariat

Only in America. I am sure there was an interesting story to be told around this horse. How her father built up his stud farm from nothing, how ROn Turcotte the jockey learnt his trade and eventually broke his back doing it ending up in a wheel chair, how the flabpoyant trainer lived his life etc, but no we got the story of the lucky media freindly rich lady who stole the show. Still not a bad movie.

6 out of 10.

Monsters

A cross between Cloverfield and the Blair witch project, the story about how aliens have taken over a part of Mexico. A good movie, not a great movie, in a way nothing really happens, if you have seen the action in the trailers that is about the height of it. It is still Interesting enough

Enjoyable flick but Colin Farrell......does he live or die?

That is the question, doesnt he say "hope i dont die" - maybe even the last line of the film. Ironic, given he was going to commit suicide. Absolutely brillant film, think i have to put it in my top 3 alongside Withnail&I and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Has to be one of the funniest movies ever, with some brilliant lines in it!


eg
"Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think i'll head home" 

[Declan]

In Bruges classic lines alright:
Ken: We shall strike a balance between culture and fun.
Ray: Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favor of culture, like a big fat f**king retarded f**king black girl on a see-saw opposite... a dwarf.

Ray: A lot of midgets tend to kill themselves. A disproportionate amount, actually. Hervé Villechaize off of Fantasy Island. I think somebody from the Time Bandits did. I suppose they must get really sad about like... being really little and that... people looking at them, laughing at them, calling them names. You know, "short arse". There's another famous midget. I miss him but I can't remember. It's not the R2D2 man; no, he's still going. I hope your midget doesn't kill himself. Your dream sequence will be fucked.
Chloë: He doesn't like being called a midget. He prefers dwarf.
Ray: This is exactly my point! People going around calling you a midget when you want to be called a dwarf. Of course you're going to blow your head off.

Ken: You from the States?
Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.

[Main Street]

TG4 tonight 11.35 Le Couperet    directed by Costa Gavras,
not near his best but still an excellent all round film, well worth a watch.

[gerrykeegan]

Just watching blazing saddles. The belching farting scene. Classic comedy

[Milltown Row2]

Watched Shutters island last night. Very disturbing indeed. As a parent you kind of dislike films like that.
