  1. He was great, he often pushed forward whilst Dunne would sit back and mop up. Both complemented each other very well and although Clark was good on the ball I thought Dunne was just as good. Although Blackburn didn't really pressure them.

    He made a bad mistake but I'd rather he make it while we're 4-1 up and he'll certainly learn from that.

  2. Bronson 7/10

    Film about Britains most violent prisoner known as Michael Peterson and his alias 'Charles Bronson'. Generally the plot follows the events of how he got into prison and has pretty much stayed there for 30 years. In between there are a few fictitious events which make the story a bit more interesting. The plot isn't the most interesting thing you'll watch but Tom Hardy dominates the screen with an amazing performance and makes you feel as if you are watching the real Charlie Bronson. The director also did an excellent job with the cinematography and soundtrack which was important as very little dialogue occurs in the film, it's mainly visual. Not for the squeamish though, lots of violence and some full frontal nudity.

  3. A Streetcar Named Desire 8/10

    Very good film, about a girl with obvious psychological issues who is continually provoked by her brother in law which makes things worse. The role of Blanche seemed pretty overacted for me, it was put across that she wasn't well but she was far too eccentric. Marlon Brando on the other hand was brilliant, one of the best performances I've ever seen, he dominated the screen and made his character a little more believable. At times you wanted to feel sorry for him despite him pretty much being a bully.

    The Pianist 10/10

    About a Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman who is doing everything he can to survive during WW2. Absolutely loved this, such a powerful and engrossing film. There are so many unforgettable moments and they are done with such brutality. The Jewish people really had no-where to escape and Wladyslaw was extremely lucky to survive, although it goes to show it doesn't always happen by turning action hero likes in most war movies. A real must see.

  4. I don't understand the Spurs hate. Yeah I dislike them and everything but they're shown almost as much vitriol as SHA on here and I don't know why.

    Its quite simple:

    1] Harry Redknapp gets called a fraud on Panorama.

    2] Portsmouth's first game after Panorama was Villa away.

    3] Villa fans give Redknapp loads of shit over the Panorama program.

    4] Redknapp says something about the nasty Villa fans in the media.

    5] The hate fest commences, and its never ended.

    I don't even think it's just that, I barely know anybody that likes him. Even most Spurs fans can't stand him as a person :lol:

  5. Most creative player, best footballer, and probably our quickest midfielder. He also has an excellent reading of the game when required to do the defensive side, look at the game v Chelsea he neutralised Ashley Cole that day. Unfortunatley because he's not the bravest there's a bit of hate out there for him, when his primary role is to attack for us. Meanwhile the wingers who do put a foot in, have a habit of losing the tackle or giving away fouls in bad areas.

  6. The Magdalene Sisters 8/10

    A fictional film based on the magdalene asylums being run in Ireland during the 1960's and onwards. Women who had given into seduction were sent there usually for the rest of their lives for rehabilitation. Although this was really not the case. A powerful film, that was banned in Vatican City and you can see why. It is a really good watch though, and I had no idea that all this had happened before I watched the film. Nora-Jane Noone is gorgeous and plays her role brilliantly, surprisingly she hasn't gone on to do much in the acting world.
