Read the reviews for Garage here and it sounded good, so I went and read a few more on the net and it was getting rave reviews everywhere. So I went to play.com and purchased.

....And then I see Capt Pats post which kindly ruined the ending for me. Cheers lad. You owe me a £5.89. Plus compensation.

Im with Pat on this one, thank him for stopping you wasting a few hours of your life on The Garage. That's maybe harsh, but I'd heard great reviews and it was a disappointment to me.

But he shouldn't have posted , no way anybody would sit through it now that they know the ending.

And the vvanker of the year award goes to...

I still think its worth a look. Although slow moving, the script and dialog is excellent and really captures country speak and mannerisms. Id say that city folk wouldn't really appreciate that as much. It also portrays small town mentality and touches on issues of bullying and awkward teenage issues.

Again worth a look, but if your after a thrill and eye candy from every film then give it a miss

Anyone seen the film Basic with John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson? Thought it is was a good watch with an intriguing storyline

How does it end?

Fireflies in the Garden, I have watched this twice and think it is a super movie, stars Willem Dapoe.

Is there one for The Sixth Sense in which Bruce Willis is not actually alive and is indeed "dead people"? Erm, oooppss!

Saw the new Transformers movie last night. Wouldn't really recommend it, thought it dragged out a bit. Not bad all the same though.

Watched the Guard the other day in the cinema, its the new Brendan Gleeson movie, pure Irish humour in it. Has to be seen.

Got great review in the Irish News today - 5 stars.

In my opinion people deserve a warning about movies that end like that. A sixth sense twist it was not. It was on rte a few nights before I had posted it. People commit hari kari in movies quite a bit. In movies I would reccomend like Letters from Iwo Jima or 13 warriors it features quite a bit. Garage was an ok movie up to a point at which it went below the belt. Now for me that was an evening ruined I am sure others felt the same. It is not the only movie I felt was tripe for the way in which it handled suicide. There is one with Colin Meaney as a tr**p in London where he wants to commit suicide and the theme of the movie is what loss would he be. Another movie worth avoiding.
