QuoteAnd it's very debatable that any film with Matt Damon in it could be called good

Serious, you don't like any of

Good Will Hunting
Rounders
Saving Private Ryan
Green Zone
Invictus
The Bourne Trilogy
Oceans XI

Not that I don't particularly like them, but in every film he's in it's just Matt, no range or depth or anything. Very one-dimensional actor IMHO.

Canalman

Personally cannot see anything in Damon as an actor............. brings nothing to a film ever imho. Massive star so he must be doing something right but for the life of me I cannot see it.

As for Hoosiers/Best Shot, if there is a better sports film around I have yet to see it. Watchable over and over again.

Is he not playing that part as it is written in each case?

The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

To be honest i haven't been able to take to these pair. 

They were on the Chris Moyles show this morning and I just didn't find them funny.

I like to see the fairways more narrow, then everyone would have to play from the rough, not just me

Bad as each other.

Moyles is a bit shit alright.

Does anyone stream movies through their ps3? Any recommended sites? I used to use stagevu to download free films but that window has now shut

Shaun of the Dead is ok but ridiculously over rated. It is just an average movie, zombieland is light years ahead in that genre

Watched True Grit......average to say the least, expected more from the Coen brothers!

Indeed Milltown. John Wayne's Oscar winning performance. Must watch it again sometime. Bridges is nominated for an Oscar in the remake though...

They like to call them "reimaginings" in Hollywood. But have to agree with you.
