Movie recommendations

[Tony Baloney]

Platoon is class. Lost count of the number of times I've seen it. Would agree with the comments about Shawshank. Desperately overrated "feel good" film beloved of women and morons.

[illdecide]

"Heat" it's on now on BBC2. Good film..."Never get yourself into anything that you can't walk away from in 30 sec when the heat is around the corner"

[Canalman]

Saw Shutter Island and Perriers Bounty over weekend. Both imo very so so.......... ok , not great but not poor also.

SI was 30mins too long imo and Jim Broadbent's "Dublin" accent was ropey.

Perriers Bounty if made 10 years ago would be a classic but nowadays is just a run of the mill Ritchieesque urban crime caper.

Saw Clash of the Titans the last day. Grand but nothing special. Once scene with giant scorpions is brutal!!

I'm having a great weekend going through my dvd collection watching films I haven't seen in ages...

The untouchables, what a great film - "hand me the keys, you f**king cocksucker"  and that put me in a Kevin Spacey mood so American Beauty and The Life of David Gale followed - that's not a film you hear much about but it's a great show.
Next up was Sum of all Fears, it's a good show but if I was Bruce Willis I would have shot that bitch of a doctor in the first 5 minutes....

anyway, my point, they don't make them like they use to.

oh yeah, and I watched Platoon again, I must be the only person in the world who doesnt like it!

I think Apocalypse Now and Platoon are both overrated.

Yeah I didn't like apocalypse now either - full metal jacket is much better than them both imo.

I like Shawshank redemption but it wouldn't be among my favorites.

Did anyone ever see Mr Brooks, class film. Kevin Costner plays a serial killer.

Got round to watching The Hurt Locker over the weekend. Can't see what all the fuss was about. Watchable, but nothing that hadn't been done previously in numerous war movies. Highlight was yer man Jeremy Renner's performance, he's very good.

got too see quite a lot of new film's on my flight over to San Francisco

up in air ..........stars George Clooney was a good watchable film & good twist at the end
The invention of lying.... was a funny flick! if you like liar liar u'll like this
Precious...... very depressing film but OK
The Blind Side.... was average film at best, Sandra bullock won a Oscar for her role in this not sure why?

I just came on here to post that anyone in their right mind should not waste 2 hours of their life watching the invention of lying. Its beyond atrociously bad.

Where can you go once Jennifer Garner says "I was just masturbating" - except down.

Also - Fantastic Mr Fox - jesus what a waste of my easter sunday those two movies were.

[ross4life]

well i was on a plane for 11 hrs plenty of time to waste 

Fantastic Mr Fox was also on but i didn't bother watching it, instead a good classic the blues brothers was on & the Car chase still looks great

Mr Brooks is very good, saw it 2 years ago and was impressed by it at the time.  Might actually get another watch at it this weekend.
