A Few Good Men is on at the same time.

Dodgeball, every time.
Fuckin Chuck Norris..
I seen that Benjamin Button not too long ago, odd oul film alright. It just seemed very slow and boring to me and her. I know its not an action film like but it seemed to go on forever.

Saw NEDS there at the weekend and as someone pointed out average enough.
Seen three days later with Russel Crowe, good show but a bit for fetched.
Seen another film A Prohet, french subtitled, brilliant. Said on the back of box "God Father meets Scarface" that drew me in.

Plenty of great foreign language films out there if you can out up with reading subtitles. I mentioned a few pages back a couple. Mesrine - about a famous french bank robber, good show and the other one was Tell No One. Brilliant. Im just wondering has anybody took me on

and watched them, and what they thought of them.

Ah aye got Secret in their Eyes to watch tonight. Argentinian film, won an oscar, anyone seen it?

I was slightly disappointed with Un Prophete, don't get me wrong it was a solid 7/10 but the reviews (like the one you mentioned on the back of the dvd case) maybe put up my expectations too much.

I really loved Mesrine though, excellent films. I think Vincent Cassel is a great actor though, watch La Haine, a film he did about the slums of Paris years ago, very good.

Have lent a few of those dvds out, would need to get them all gathered up.

Must look up that "Tell No One" film.

The Lives Of Others is a good German one about the Stasi secretly monitoring actors, musicians etc back in the 80s. Great show.

Know what you mean Don. But I read on the internet that nearly the whole film was him in prison, so it sort of braced me for the fact that it wouldn be a as glamorous andwasnt going to be the same meteoric rise of a ganster like in scarface or godfather. More realistic in a way and lends itself to a sequel. Vincent Cassel is a super actor. Must have a watch at those other films you mentioned.
Im thinking about signing up to Ilovefilm.com via the PS3. Think its £10 a month and unlimited streaming of movies to your PS3. Has anyone done it or know what its like?

The Running Man is finishing now on E4 or E3. Classic Arnie 80s movie, hard to beat.

Classic Arnie move indeed, hadn't seen it in years but always worth a watch.

Seen Wall Street: Money never sleeps last night. Good acting decent show wouldn want to go to the cinema to it though

screenexile · June 02, 2011, 11:23:17 AM

Best foreign language film I have ever seen is one called Jeux d'enfants or "Love me if you dare" in English.

It's kind of a messed up love story but very funny and very clever with a great storyline and great acting in it.

Marion Cotillard (Inception) is also another reason to watch it!!

Billys Boots · June 02, 2011, 01:32:35 PM

I saw it recently Screenexile and enjoyed it alright; interesting story.
