Movie recommendations

Heard of a film today called Funny Games. Was toul it was shite but weird as fcuk. A remake of a film in German about 10 years ago.

Has anyone seen it?

Think the original was Austrian, not that it really makes much difference. Haven't seen the remake but the original one was interesting, not really sure that you're supposed to enjoy it but its well worth a watch.

The rule of thumb is that the original subtitled film is superior and remakes just don't come close.
Some exceptions, like the Departed, was decent enough but mainly because it paid homage to the original.

Was off today so i went and got two DVDs:

1. Sex Drive - Biggest waste of money I have spent, it was a sub standard Superbad wannabe film, was cringe worthy, the only funny thing was the older brother...

2. Body Of Lies - Meh, it was ok but not what I had expected for a Di Caprio/Crowe/Ridley Scott film, the acting from the two leads was great, as was Mark Strong who played the Jordanian Head of Intelligence though the tory wasn't as gripping as I thought it was gonna be.

So all in all not my two best purchases.

Sex Drive is a terrible show. They said it was Superbad on wheels, but doesnt even come close to Superbad or similar films like the American Pie's, Road Trip etc.

Role Models is a good show though!

I thought Superbad was really really shit.

Did you like other teen comedies though? I know some people who don't like it but they don't like the whole genre.

Archie-yeah Role Models is a god show, think its out monday gonna get it, the wee black fella in it was a laugh.

I thought Superbad was really really shit.

wasn't impressed either.

watched Taken the other night - okay, but formulaic action type stuff - not as good as a Bourne and didn't have the laughs that Bond used to have.

[Bogball XV]

Aye, I don't mind the genre. Just thought Superbad was pure tripe. Not very funny and added nothing new.

exactly, it had all been done to death, american pie and road trip were funny, Superbad was same again, but without the laughs.

Reservoir dogs on C5 far better show...

Class show with a great soundtrack

Watched Eagle Eye today. Decent enough show. Bit far fetched regarding the whole government being able to spy on you carry on, but decent enough show. Kinda along the same lines as Ememy of The State, but not as good.

Aye it was okay purely as an actioner but the storyline was a bit daft.
