Makes u want to check your facebook though. Was a good idea to drop 'The'. Interesting film.

Watched Paranormal Activity 2.. If you liked the first one you'll probably like this but I wud say it's fairly sh1t. It took a looooooong time to get going and give me just two proper jump moments. 2/10. 3/10 at a push.

Sounds like the second Blair Witch.

I never even watched the second blair witch, but I can imagine you're right. Strange thing is, a big part of me knows that if they were to make a third Paranormal Activity, I'd probably end up wasting another two hours of my life and end up watching it too.

Just flicking through the TV there. Some clinkers on tonight! Saving Private Ryan and Casino were on earlier, just sitting down to watch Kickboxer here now :)

The Iceman

Seen the Karate Kid there - thought it was a good effort. The original always annoyed me because Machio was horrible in all sense of the meaning. At least Smith actually looked decent at the martial arts.

Watched Robin Hood last night - good show, definitely not an epic. Spent too much time setting things up for the sequel I felt.
Gladiator in England more or less for me like The Patriot was a rip off of Braveheart

Watched The one that flew over the cuckoo's nest last night ages since i seen it! well they don't make movies as good as this now, brilliant acting by Jack Nicholson,Louise Fletcher has to be one of the best film's ever

No Country for Old Men tonight on Channel 4 at 22.15 if anyone is interested.  Creepiest guy in cinema for a long time.

Sin City is on BBC2 tonight, is it any use?

Agnes Dipesto

Sin City is very good well worth the watch. Watched Robin Hood last week and thought it was ok, not one of Crowe's best and he got some severe criticism over the accent.  Also watched Shutter Island at long last and have to agree, you can see the twist a mile off.

Excellent film, Mickey Rourke bit is the best followed closely by Benicio del Toro (Jackie Boy)

Seen RED last night. The worst film I've seen in years. Honestly. T'was like something Sylvester Stallone grandchild wrote on the bus to school and filmed one weekend when the actors hadn't that much to do. I began daydreaming in the middle of it about work and then came round to watching the film again. I then got pissed off because this load of bollix had interrupted my train of thought and started trying to think what I was day-dreaming of. Its really that bad if not a degree worse.

The Fisher King tonight on TG4 tonight at 9.00. 

Have to watch it again to see if it was as good as I remember.
