Main Street

They say it is the Coen brothers who are doing their version of True Grit.
I´d keep an open mind.

Which brings me to my recommended film of the month, one from the Coen Brothers
"A Serious Man"

a relatively very good film  :)

Remember hearing on here about "Sin Nombre", it's subtitled in Spanish but I would def recommend it.

Totally agree, very dark but superb film and a complete break from normal Jim Carrey stuff. Him and Winslet are very good in this!

I watched From Dusk Till Dawn Last Night.

I have mixed emotions about it. On one hand its engaging and a good thriller, on the other its totally crazy but kinda hilarious too.  :D

Its worth seeing if only for the twist. I wouldnt read any reviews for fear it could spoil the plot.  ;)

Vinnie Jones wants to remake the 1981 football war film Escape To Victory, say tabloid reports. According to The Sun, the Celebrity Big Brother star wants David Beckham cast in the role of Terry Brady, played in the original by Bobby Moore. The original plot followed the story of Allied prisoners of war who take on a German football team while in a prison camp during World War II. It starred Sir Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone, while footballers Pele, Ossie (more) »

I suppose he won't e busy this summer
holy fcuk, that's hilarious, I can't believe that's how Vinnie Jones is now known (now, I wasn't aware that he has been in celebrity big brother).

The news is from Digital Spy, so yes, that's how he is known for them.

Ahh it's a fecking great movie... would always watch it whenever its on regardless on tv...

By the by, I saw it one time on cable tv in america, not HBO mind, maybe CBS or one of those - where swearing and nudity is a big no-no... so all the swearing was dubbed out with another actor saying something a lot milder and some of the ladies hair seemed to grow a bit longer and covered up their chests...   it was so annoying it actually was funny!!

If you haven't seen it before Three Kings is on tonight at 9pm on TV3. Imo a brilliant flick set in the 1st Gulf War. A must see.

Watched inglorious basterds again there last night - still a great movie.

Three Kings one of the best war movies. It is pretty much tongue in cheek but a lot more realistic than a lot of war movies. Very entertaining as well.

One I must watch again.  Midnight Run with De Niro.  He is an under rated comedy actor.
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and
