Couple of good ones on tonight. 21 just started on RTE, 50 Dead Men Walking is on later on BBC for those who are interested. Anyone seen Deliverance? One I've been meaning to see and it's also on later.

Big Trouble in Little China on channel 4 now.

Goon the ice hockey comedy fighting movie with William Scott Thomas is pretty good. 7.5 out of 10. Alison Pill is a real cutie.

You have got to be joking.

Agree with DJ. I googled her to see what your were on about - her face is too small for her head

Watched Warrior tonight and was pleasantly surprised. It's no Raging Bull but better than any of the Rocky sequels or The Fighter.

Yes.

Have to disagree with you there. Imo The King's Speech is dung and way overrated.

Recently saw

The Sauna.............. A Finnish horror film which I didn't really get

Troll Hunter................... Very daft,very unbelievable and by the way very enjoyable. Well worth a watch imo.

Lantana. Australian drama. Very very good, acting is great, would give 9/10
Joint Security Agency, Korean story of relationship between border guards in the demilitarised zone. Ok, not great, 7/10
I Saw The Devil. Korean, revenge story. Good enough show, quite brutal in parts, not as good as Old Boy. 7.5/10

Just watched Hunger there... An awful awful excuse for a movie!!!

It has no real plot, it's grotesque and I don't quite understand how a movie like this happens. There are so many important stories and interesting facets to the Hunger Strike and they have been completely ignored here.

It's the worst film I have seen in a long long time!!

Would agree with you there in that they ignored alot of stuff, but they went with one aspect of it and stuck to it, which was the hunger strike of Bobby Sands! His conversation with the priest is f**king class, think someone said that they filmed that conversation non stop or else is one take, cant mind which one it is.

It's a 90 minute film roughly 40 mins of violence and grotesqueness, a 20 minute  conversation (admittedly the only half decent part of the film)  followed by another half an hour of a guys deterioration with no dialogue and more disgusting scenes.

People seem to have got caught up in the fact that just because it's about the Hunger Strike that it's inspiring or good. It's not and I'm very pissed off that's 90 mins of my life I'll never get back!

In fairness it is a bit artsy fartsy at times. The 20 minute conversation probably being the highlight of the film but there are many dead spots like having to watch someone mop a corridor for 5 minutes.

Seen 50/50 there the other night, great show i would recommend anyone to go watch it-will be out of the cinemas soon enough I'd say.
