Saw The Other Guys a few weeks ago...  not outstanding but good solid funny movie - and Eva Mendes is unreal...

Watched Due Date last night thought it was awful, two or three genuine funny moments in it and that was it.  Yer man Zach whatisname from the Hangover just played his character from that movie and was annoying towards the end. Predictable and boring towards the end and just wanted it to be over so I could watch a rerun of Family Guy

Watched The Town last night and was pleasantly surprised it's very good. Joint written, Directed and acted by Affleck? Fair play to the man he was annoying fr
a long time but he's pulled this out of the bag!

I thought The Other Guys was moronic, didn't like. I did however enjoy Due Date, though it wasn't as good The Hangover.

Aye think it's his second movie behind the lens.  His first Gone Baby Gone was excellent

I'll have to watch this tonight on E4.  Never seen this.  Have I missed much?

On kids movies, saw How To Train Your Dragon yesterday on DVD.

Very good show. Doesn't try hard to be smart like some kids movies.

She counts for some of my 8.5. She looked unreal in the scene where she is introduced to Terry (Wahlberg).

Came across a film on IMDB called The Human Centipede: First Sequence a while back, it was on that SyFy channel last night and I decided to watch it. Anyone else ever seen it? I really don't know how these sort of films make it past the suggestion box! Maybe it's easier to make it in Hollywood than I thought.

The freakiest film I have ever seen, pure dung and the writer of this one needs his head looked at.

One of the boys from the  football team was going on about watching this the other day... thought he was making it up when he was explaining the plot.... How in the name of jaysus do you come up with a plot like that?

I just saw what the human centipede was about. Jebus, why did you sit then to watch that and then come on here and tell us how rubbish it was. Did you not know from the start what it was about.

Another messed up one I saw one time was Ichi the Killer. Not for the faint hearted either.

Exactly. Once I heard what it was about, I knew not to watch it.

Christ I thought The Other Guys was awful dung and I turned it off after a while.
Actually whats with all these posts about saying I couldn't wait for the film to finish as I thought it was bad etc..
Why don't you just turn it off or get up and leave the cinema or wherever? Why stay watching it..

Well sometimes you have no choice but to sit and watch it through... If the movie wasn't your choice, to criticise the movie could be, and usually is, seen as criticising the person that picked it.... And its just not worth the hassle!!
