Just watched 'Green Zone', great show. Had the blood boiling

nothing new in the story so I dont know how it had the blood boiling?

..........

Its crazy that countries like America get away with it. If it was anyone else they could face a war crimes tribunal.

you answered it for me lad

I've seen both... Munich recently but haven't seen Road to Perdition in a good while. Munich is a serious flick, you can't look passed it

Munich is well worth a watch. Like Celt man it's been too
many years since seeing Road to Perdition to comment on it - which might point to the fact that it wasn't memorable!

Too late now but you should've watched C). All The Presidents Men on TG4.

Pure classic.

Watched Get Him to the Greek last night. I can't lie I found it really funny, hilarious in parts. It does what it says on the tin, Russell Brand and P Diddy are basically playing themselves in a movie but they have some cracking lines and the scene with the furry wall nearly had me off my chair. Quite crude in parts but very worth it. Best comedy I've seen in a long time.

Also can't wait to see Inception!!!

Agreed, it was brilliant!

Capt Pat · July 11, 2010, 10:46:03 AM

Road to Perdition is excellent in my opinion, one of my favourites. It is not an either or choice, both Movies Munich and Road to Perdition are highly rated.

Which one did you watch?

paco · July 11, 2010, 11:11:53 AM

Couldn't decide so made some room on Sky+ and recorded both! I have some amount of films recorded this past month or so that I will get the chance to watch this week. Watched Leaving Las Vegas, a good film but I found it quite depressing.

Canalman · July 11, 2010, 06:05:52 PM

Munich imo very average.

Road to Perdition is a classic.Brilliant cast.

Denn Forever · July 11, 2010, 09:38:33 PM

Looking forward to "The damned united" which is going to be on TV in the next few weeks.

July 18th, 9:00pm on BBC 2 London and BBC HD

Watched Be Kind Rewind earlier today. Jaysus that was an awful film to sit through. I thought with Danny Glover and Jack Black in it, it would have been good. Was glad when it was over.

I kinda liked it. I guess if you are a fan of 80's films there is a lot of funny parts.

What did you think of the likkle kids rapping in the shop? Fuzzy Wozzy... etc.
That that bit was very funny

Empire has it's Inception review up online. I'm not gonna lie, I'm excited for this one.

So am I. But then I am a big Chris Nolan fan, think his a brilliant director. I love The Prestige.

Canalman · July 12, 2010, 12:50:31 PM

Prestige and Insomnia imo both very good.

Memento pure tosh imo. Herdlike fawning over it because noone knows wtf it is all about. Any movie that needs repeat viewing to undersrtand is just a bad film.

Memento is a brilliant film and come on in fairness going by your logic that would make The Prestige a bad film as many people needed repeat viewing to understand it. I didn't think Memento was that hard to follow.
