Movie recommendations

is The Invention of Lying starring David Brent worth the watch?

Watched Edge of Darkness @ the weekend, decent enough show

[Capt Pat]

Anyone any reccomendations for a wee trip to the cinema tonight?

I'm told From Paris Will Love is meant to be good.

Whoever told you that needs their head examined, Worst flim I've seen in a long time! It was so cringeworthy at times it wasn't funny.

This is what I've heard. A boy on the radio last week was saying some of the stuff in it is so ridiculously cringeworthy that it'll probably become some type of cult classic in a few years.

From Paris with Love is not to be taken too seriously, then you won't find yourself cringing.

That's what the ones told me. Cheesy, but the film knew it was, so it was good.

There is a limit though! Not to spoil anything for anyone who might want to watch it, but the climax of the filmrevolves around a love story, I mean for the type of film it is you just think, come on this doesn't fit!

invention of lying should have been decent, decent premise, but it is really, really, really shite.

Was at Alice in Wonderland tonight. The visuals were amazing, the 3D worked really well with it. Johnny Depp was fantastic as the Mad Hatter, although Scottish for some reason. Looking at the credits at the end of the film, there was some cast on it. Christopher Lee, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Barbara Winsdor.

With all that, there seemed to be something missing with the film. At the ingredients were right, but it just didn't come together. Enjoyable story and very dark, just missing something.

Enjoyable very Dark story sounds like a Tim Burton film alright, Johnny Depp must be the best character actor around?

but strange how he looked like Madonna in this film

I'm not a Tim Burton, only like 3 of his films.

Never noticed the likeness between the Mad Hatter and Madonna before.

Watched 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' on DVD.

The most thought provoking film I've ever seen. Took me and the missus days to get over it.

I always thought that the Shawshank Redemption should have had a dark ending but after watching Striped Pajamas I have changed my mind.

[ross4life]

Surely johnny Depp couldn't be considered a character actor, hes a leading man in virtually all his films, now someone like Steve Buscemi thats a character actor.

One of the most underrated films I have seen. Very provocative and moving.

I didnt really like Alice in Wonderland, in fact I was bored silly and it annoyed the heck out of me.
Its a film that focused on the effects and the story and characters lost out. Its too dark for young kids and too childish at times for anyone above the age of 12.
The lead girl that played Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is very limited. Zero emotion and as single toned as Keanu Reeves.
Depp is boring playing the same eccentric character, over and over again. He is practically mash-up of Jack Sparrow and Willy Wonka with a red wig. Its getting pathetic at this stage and he needs to do some real acting instead of this over-acting rubbish. Also Burton needs to grow up and stop making films for his kids. He also needs to separate from Depp and stop having his wife in his films. As for Burtons wife, Helena Bonham Carter, I felt like strangling her if she repeated that tantrum line one more time.
