I remember seeing "We Were Soldiers" in a cinema in Chicago....was sitting beside this big 6 foot 6er, 350lb (you know the type) gentleman. At one point in the film he started to cry uncontrollably when wives of soldiers were getting the letters and then later on he stood up and started shouting "hell yeah, git them yeller sons o bitches" when the helicopter gunships came on the attack.
I never laughed so much at a film in my life..

Yeah experienced this before at a cinema in Time Square, they all got up and shouted and clapped this was in 1991!! The film....... Last Action Hero :o I nearly died laughing

It's nearly as bad a clapping when the plane lands, next we will be clapping the taxi driver who takes ya home
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Very disappointed in Prometheus. It doesn't appear to know what it's supposed to be about, asks more questions than it answers. Visually stunning though - first time I've actually enjoyed 3D.

Yeah pretty much spot on, beautiful cinematography but no story-line, doesn't know where it's going.

Prometheus is very well put together but just doesn't hit a home run. Guy Pearce is unrecognisable in it and doesn't do much. There will be a sequel I assume.

Watch Man on a Ledge last night. Highlight was Genesis Rodriguez in her skimpies

The picture doesn't do it justice. A great moment in movie history.

I would agree. It's a fairly ok science fiction film and visually looks great. But it is very disjointed and I get the feeling that Ridley Scott wasn't able to cut it down to just over 2hrs without leaving big gaps in the narrative. I'll look forward to the inevitable Director's Cut to see whether it hangs together better. But still not bad value for four quid on a bank holiday afternoon..

Armaghgeddon

Went to see MIB 3 last night, was entertaining but wouldn't watch it again for a while (apart from the start with Nicole Sherzinger dressed to impress). Some critics said the ending is emotional and they were right, some guy started crying at the end.

Got Carnage out last night - what a load of shite from start to finish.

Capt Pat

I thought Carnage was pretty good. It is a play set in one apartment featuring just the four actors. No action or variety but it is not that long.

Before the devil knows you're dead is coming on Channer four I think ab.out now. It is worth a look.

The Chorus. Watched in a mates house this evening. Superb family movie.

Radda bout yeee

anyone seen any good movies that are in cinema at min?

Armaghgeddon

Went to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Nothing is great about the movie, quite dissapointing to be honest. The writers make the story more complexed unnecessarily. IMO I would have liked to have seen more of a build up, it is a good idea for a movie but poorly written.
