No the older one but I'm surprised they got to make a follow up

Have to be a tad more specific there LB when talking of "older" POTA films. Presume you are talking about the Wahlberg version.

Shame

Fassbender should get the oscar for best male actor in a female hole.

Tweet from Des Bishop!!

Don't feel bad for Fassbender, seen the size of his c**k? Every time I took a piss with that thing I would feel like a winner.

Watched Moneyball yesterday, one for any sports geek that loves stats - really enjoyed it 8/10.

I know what your saying cm, but yes the wahlberg one. Didn't enjoy it one bit. I presume there is an improvement in the second one then?

Original is great. Its sequels (and, at least one prequel I think) get progressively worse.

The Tim Burton/ Whalberg one was terrible.

Recent one was decent.

Thought the last one was pretty decent. Definitely not as bad as the previous one.

Anybody see Killer Elite yet? Whtached it last night and thought it was very good and entertaining. Its set in the 80s which gives it avery cool retro feel. Its also based on true events (which no doubt its severly jazzed up all the same) A solid 8/10. Some quality tashes and side burns in it.

Hugely overated i thought. How the fcuk can that lump Jonah Hill get nominated for an oscar and Fassbender doesn't. Joke.

screenexile · January 27, 2012, 02:15:31 PM

Fair enough about Hill I didn't think he deserved an Oscar for playing a geek but I liked the Movie and thought BP was very good in it!

Going to fire on War Horse tonight to see what the fuss is about - anyone here seen it? Still have to get around to watching Midnight Run from taping it last week, saw it years ago but remember very little about it.

Watched an old favourite last weekend in EdTV and also saw Sleepy Hollow. EdTV wasn't as good second time around (obviously) and I thought Sleepy Hollow was average enough.

Don Johnson · January 28, 2012, 10:32:58 PM

Went to the cinema twice in the last week.

J Edgar - I really liked this, think partly because I have read a lot about Hoover anyway so I got a lot of the stuff in it where my girlfriend didn't have a clue, I am not sure she liked it as much.

War Horse - heard from a poster on here (Mickey Linden) this was a great film so had high hopes, was really disappointed. Drawn out and boring imo.

On a side note, during J Edgar two middle aged women sat a few rows behind us and wouldn;t shut up the whole film, at some points actually talking out loud, not whispering. I don't understand why these idiots even go to the cinema if that is how they are going to get on? It is one thing that really annoys me.

Turned war horse off after an hour...one of the worst movies I've seen in a long tine
