Saw Funny People last night. Not much to say on this except, the name is misleading. Seth Rogen is funny though.

It seems like Rogen and Apatow are having a bit of a lean spell. I can't remember the last decent movie from either of them. Forgetting Sarah Marshall maybe. Didn't rate Pineapple Express.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno was good.

Weird... I saw that this week. Its a good laugh!

Got The Wrestler out last night. Very average imo and not worthy of the hype. E2 for all dvds in Chartbusters if anyone is interested.

Agreed. O'Rourke gives a good performance thou and I think this is where most of the 'hype' comes from not the actual story line.

I have 50 Dead Men Walking booked for this weekend, have heard mixed reports.

thought the wrestler was a great film

The Wrestler is downbeat, slow moving, depressing and tragic.
A great film, O Rourke is brilliant in it.

It is hilarious in parts but there is that one scene which just makes you gag....

started okay, few decent laughs, but went downhill badly for the last hour or so - i thought.  Forgetting Sarah Marshall was enjoyable, but that was really down to Brand.

Just back from seeing this film. Jesus, I thought it would never finish. Bored the whole way through it.

The type of movie where you look at your watch more than the actual film.

Went to see it last night, brutal. I was really dissapointed. The story just dragged on and on. We left early. I had high hopes for it, because of the cast. It had some good wee lines in it, slaggin the yo teach guy abut his dead grandad, slaggin the doctor about his accent etc. But there wasnt enough of them. Highlight of the film probably the scene with Ray Romano and Eminem, it was funny.

Thought Zack and Miri was a load of balls.

Spin off to Forgetting Sarah Marshall coming out next year called "Get Him To The Greek" staring Russell Brand and Jonah Hill. Load of cameo's from big music stars as well. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was good and was very surprised by Russell Brand in it. Hopefully more of the same from this one as its the same character.

You named the only three funny scenes in the entire film.

Hurt Locker is the best movie in the cineams at the moment in my opinion. It is about a US bomb disposal team in Iraq. It is highly recomended by Capt  Pat, a proper movie unlike Tarantinos latest effort.

It got great review on rotten tomatoes but check out the review of the one critic on this page to go agianst the flow, basically the movie is rubbish according to this rebel without a cause.

It happens sometimes that you think a movie is rubbish that everyone else says is great. It was like that for me with the last Batman movie which I thought was way too long and boring.

Went to Inglourious Basterds last night. Not a QT fan by any means (am seemingly in a minority of 1 in thinking Pulp Fiction was overrated) but enjoyed IB. Has its flaws but watchable all the same.
Must have one of the best screen villians of all time in it......"The Jewhunter". A tad gory in places but more of a "talky" than an action flick.

Cinema was packed by the way.

Watched The Damned United tonight there. Very good film. Best I have seen in a while. Michael Sheen is very good. Might have to watch Frost/Nixon after his performance in The Damned United.
