Watched Local Hero at the weekend, a great film that has aged very well. Some great performances including Fulton Mackay (Mr Mackay from Porridge). Got it for less than 3 quid on play.com, worth a punt folks.

Yes indeed, one of my favourites of all time.

I watched Red State last night, not what I expected but very good

I watched moneyball tonight it was excellent and proved why the GAA is the best sporting organisation in the world

Saw "A Dangerous Method" last night - much the same verdict.

Watched Rampart last night, new one with Woody Harrelson as a bent LAPD cop. Very good.

I liked it. It did get nominated for best movie at the Oscars.

Some recently watched

Cell 211. Reasonable enough thriller set in a Spanish prison.

Warrior. Good and well worth a watch. Very well acted although highly unbelievable .

Drive. Average enough imo.

Gee I thought Drive was superb, the Lift scene was cinematic genius and the sound track was cracking too..

Up The Middle · February 22, 2012, 04:09:22 PM

Watched Drive over the weekend, thought it was very good your man Gosling gives a great performance agree with Dinny the scene in the lift is unreal. Also watched t**ker Tailor Solider Spy actually thought this was a better, great performance from Gary Oldman, havent seen a bad performance from Tom Hardy in any film yet.

The Iceman · February 22, 2012, 04:40:14 PM

Watched Captain America again there wasn't overly impressed. There were much better Marvel movies.
Seen Real Steel and was happy enough with it on face value. Nothing spectacular but very watchable and even my woman enjoyed it.

Funny I just sent Cell 211 and Drive back to Lovefilm there on Monday and Warrior just arrived in the door today.

Thought Cell 211 started off very well but lost its way
Agree on Drive, good enough viewing and great music, but was expecting a lot more after the hype.

Also saw Elite Squad 2 recently, decent enough.
