Watched Into The Wild last night. A story about a young American lad who lived a frugal life after graduating, living off the earth and eventually living in the wild in America. True story. A good story and yer man has an interesting outlook on life. Not one I would share but worth watching imo. Very slow moving however.


I thought into the wild was great,i would agree its slow moving at times,but great story and some good perfomances.
One of my favourite films I've seen lately
(love the soundtrack too)
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Goats Do Shave

Gran Torino... great show. Clint was super.

Taken... also very enjoyable (as much as that type of show can be enjoyable!?) Like the comment about Liam Neeson being Jason Bourne's da... he he true!

Totally agree. I loved the bit where they tried to take the horse into the lift. Funny, but moving as well.

Yeah the soundtrack is super, Eddie Vedder has some voice.

Anvil - The Story of Anvil. This is one you have to go and see it is a mocumentary and a cross between "Spinal Tap" and "The Wrestler". The best film I have seen in a while.

Watched 'Shes the Man' last night. Jesus wept it was bad.

Goats Do Shave

Burn After Reading - Great cast, some good performances (John Malkovich & Bradd Pitt were both funny) but not a great show. one to miss.

Started watching CSI MIami last night. Season 1 - looks good!

It isnt a mockumentary- its a documentary.

Watched In Bruges on Saturday night. Really enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I thought with all the hype it was bound to be a letdown but it was really good. McDonagh translates really well to the big screen and Colin Farrell's performance is above anything I thought him capable of.

I watched 'In Bruges' on Sunday night, and I enjoyed it very much too.  Three excellent performances, even though Ralph Fiennes could never pass for a Cockney git.

The film was originally a stage play, and Feinnes played that role as it was played on stage, ie it is a bit camp and over the top effort for an east end villain( at least that is my opinion of his effort)

Tell me more about Anvil then, had you heard of them before this. I am trying to work it out, but it is not a straight up documentary it is a mocumentary. It will remind you of those 2 movies I have mentioned and is still very good regardless of what genre it lands in.

i love it....

if you ever want to watch a "sweet" film then i suggest August Rush... quite relaxing film and johnaton rhys is in and is a great singer!

Question for those who live in the u.s
did you ever see that elvis series that johnaton rhys meyers was in and won the golden globe for? what is the name of it?
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..
