Catch up SouthDown  ;)  All time classic in my book in fairness

Milltown Row2

Watched Savages last night, Oliver Stone film, decent enough 7 out of 10
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I watched Prisoners there the other night and thought it was very very good.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Apparently so

Identity Thief is beyond awful. Your man in it never even put any effort into acting ffs

I liked Prisoners but it dragged out a bit in the middle.

Watched Peacock the other day and it had potential. 

The Call was a decent show too.

Nebraska is a fine film. Some of the scenes reminded of home - deadpan expressionless reaction to almost everything - obsession with cars. 8.112/10
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

He watched it on Betamax the lying hoor.

Epic accent (and wig) from Sean Connery.

Thats a film that has stayed with me for a while now. I didn't see the whole "waging a war on god" angle at all. At first I thought I would be that dad, willing to do whatever it took to find my kids but then it makes you think  - who do you become as a result and is there any going back? head wrecking stuff lol

Have Escape Plan (Arnie and Stallone) to watch tonight. I know its going to be rough but I can't help myself ha!
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Watched "City of God" there. Really disappointed, heavily recommended by this board who usually are close to the mark on most shows.

Ah Jesus i watched it the other night, same as you i knew what i was getting into but couldnt help it.

Watched Grudge Match with Satallone and De Niro have to say i enjoyed it, found it quite funny in parts - it aint winning any oscars but watchable all the same.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Hi the Escape Plan wasn't that bad. Mindless 80's action movie wrapped up in new shiny paper from 2014.... Poor old Arnie should have did more drugs with Stallone. He really can't keep up with Sly at this point.... He looked tired and his poor acting is no longer covered up by the action...

I want to see Grudge Match definitely.

Stallone has been very smart with his new films - people want to see them. Other action stars like JCVD and Seagal are still struggling.
Stalone is a smart business man there's no doubt about it.

Something about old 80s and 90s action films. No real story, great characters and lots of violence...

The boards recommendation still stands up to scrutiny, your disappointment is your own doing.
