Movie recommendations

Loads of people on FB mouthing about Step Brothers . . . does anyone else see the attraction?? Very average imo and definitely not Ferrell's best work!

I'd go further and say it's dirt.

Super 8 is just an average movie. It starts well enough butreally just fizzles out.

Those other movies are just so good in comparison.

Seen the latest Pirates installment and although I haven't enjoyed any of them since the 1st one this one was a decent show.

Have Super 8 in the house to watch some time this week. Is it any good?

If, like me, you grew up with ET, Stand By Me, The Goonies, Close Encounters and all that era of movies you'll love it.

Not quite as good as those flicks but on the same wavelength.

Didnt rate it either, not a patch on most of his other shows.

Watched the Lincoln Lawyer last night.  Dont know why I held off for so long to watch it.  Great show. 8/10

I'm not really comparing them in terms of the quality of the movie, more in terms of the feel of it. You can see what JJ was going for- wearing his influences on his sleeve.

Anyone seen the new Sherlock Holmes yet?

I watched The Way a few weeks ago on a plane, a Sheen/Estevez family film (starring most of them and directed by Emilio Estevez).  I found it really good and extremely moving!  The story of a trek across the Camino de Santiago in the Pyrenees. 

On the other hand, went to see New Year's Eve on Sunday and it was pretty saccharin stuff but because I had just from NYC on Friday, I loved seeing all the places I'd visited just three days before.  Send the ladies to see it.

The missus went to see it last week. Said it was actually better than she thought and enjoyed it.

All the reviews have pointed towards this being a big old Christmas turkey.

It seems that De Niro has give up "proper" acting altogether and it satisified in just doing roles to pay the bills. Strange.

Finally got around to watching Hunger.
It isn't what I was expecting. I expected the focus on the story etc but the acting was superb and the cinematography and imagery was epic.

Watched the devils double last night. Good, if a little goofy at the end. Uday Hussein was one fucked up cat. 8/10

Followed it up with Kevin Smiths Red State a yarn loosely based around the Westboro baptist church types (except a lot more sinister). John goodman stars. Very enjoyable, another 8/10

The Man from Nowhere, Korean action film about former special agent who hunts down the drugs gang who have kidnapped his kid neighbour. My description makes it sound terrible but is actually really good.

Going to watch Grizzly Man tonight. have only heard good things about it, so looking forward to it.

Also agree with this. Pure muck. Not his finest work. Semi-Pro would fall into the same category.

Anyone seen the new Sherlock Holmes yet?

Yes, I went to see it on Sunday. Excellent. I thought it was better than the first which I also enjoyed

[Puckoon]

Just out of Sherlock holmes at the big screen. Quality stuff, typical Guy Ritchie
