Could never beat the original. Lazy Hollywood doing remakes

They like to call them "reimaginings" in Hollywood. But have to agree with you.

This True Grit is based on the book as opposed to a remake of the original film. You are welcome.

 Meryl Streep transformed into Margaret Thatcher in the Iron lady film

Watched True Grit......average to say the least, expected more from the Coen brothers!

Really Ballinaman?
Feck! Was hopin' in would live up to the hype. Have'nt watched it yet.

I'll give it another watch to make sure but wasn't all that great to be honest. Also, subtitles were needed for Jeff Bridges....

And it's very debatable that any film with Matt Damon in it could be called good

Serious, you don't like any of

Good Will Hunting
Rounders
Saving Private Ryan
Green Zone
Invictus
The Bourne Trilogy
Oceans XI

Stick in The Legend of Bagger Vance and All The Pretty Horses too.

Watched 'The Fighter' last night . . . thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a bit like the Wrestler only good.

Bale is superb in it. Having seen the roles he has played previously where he is usually the strong, arrogant buff guy he played the vulnerability role very well. Also the transformation of his physique was interesting as well as he managed to turn himself into an awkward gangly character.

Wahlberg was ok but the sisters stole the show with some great lines in it. All in all very enjoyable if slightly too long.

I'd agree with that. Bale is one of the best about at the minute. Did you ever see him in the Machinist? - Scary!

Most reviews I've read have favoured Wahlberg's performance.

I'm looking forward to seeing this film tbh i thought it would have finished with the first Gatti fight but i hear it doesnt so.

I'd have thought so too, but apparently ends against the Shamrock Express Shea Neary. For me that makes it more intriguing actually, as gives me impression it will have less of a Holywood coating.

Lots of touting for Bale picking up the oscar for supporting actor - he seems to have stolen the movie from what Ive read.

Saw a Korean movie called Oldboy at the weekend on DVD. Seriouslly shocking ending to the film and I don't shock too easily. A headwrecker of a flick. Can't reallly see "Hollywood" queuing up to remake it due to its ending.

Word is that Will Smith (possibly others) have bought the rights to remake Oldboy. Please God don't. They will ruin it.

Another film they will make a balls up with.

one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen.
