Watch a DVD film called 'Sexy Beast.' It was mighty with Ben Kingsley and Ray Winston. Was made in 2000 tho I'd never heard of it. London gangsters.  Kingsley was incredible like you've never seen him.

... 'In `Sexy Beast,' Ben Kingsley delivers a bone-chilling performance as the man everyone loves to hate, a role for which he earned not only universal critical acclaim but a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination as well. Don Logan is so evil that even his fellow mobster buddies fear and hate him. From our very first glimpse of him high-strutting his way through an airport terminal, Kingsley hits just the right note for his character.'

Excellent film...


Watched Raging Bull AGAIN last night....awesome stuff...

Anyone else see The Ringer on Film 4 the other night with Johnny Knoxville....

"Moon" was great. I know that you may have been disappointed that it was actually about the moon and not "mooning".

Moon was a strange movie, watched it on the plane, tbh was quite boring and just about watchable IMO but each to there own. What was the point of it?

Seen UP IN THE AIR yday, and was mightly impressed. Excellent screenplay and jees Clooney was brilliant in it. Its really alot more about relationships and the meaning of life than a Airmiles movie. Definitly makes you think about your life when you come out of it. I love those type of movies.

Anyone seen the Lonely bones yet? Looking forward to Legion aswell.

Oh and told yee AVATAR was going to be huge ;)

Yep, I've seen The Lovely bones. Decent movie, won't change your life or anything. First and last thirds of the film are good, middle is fairly poor. Worth a watch though.

Watched "World's Greatest Dad" last night. Not too sure when it's out in Ireland or even if it will be but really enjoyed it. Mad movie, if you like black comedies you'll like this movie. It's most definitely not mainstream and won't appeal to alot of people, don't even bother infact if you don't like edgy movies. Seriously dark at some points. Robin Williams plays a not so typical Robin Williams role. I'd be interested to see what other board members make of it.

Here's the link...first zshare one works well.
