saturdaygig Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I watched 'An Education' last night out of sheer morbid curiosity(/Carey Mulligan) and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. Morbid curiosity??!!?? Whaaa This film was always set up to be a classic with it being a Hornby screenplay so long in the making. Recommended to everyone. oh and i enjoyed law abiding citizen as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 idk if its been mentioned but Inside Man was a really good film....if you haven't already seen it. Robin Hood Men in Tights always makes me laugh...or Spaceballs. or you could watch something a little more verbally funny like 200 Cigarettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted February 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2010 Adding another +1 for Slacker which I finally watched last night. Was kind of taken aback to see one of the shots go right past an ex-girlfriends house though! My current to-do list includes: Memories of Underdevelopment Under the Bombs The Man in the Glass Booth The Iceman Cometh The Believer Synecdoche, New York The Newton Boys Any suggestions on where to start?

AshVilla Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 felt like watching a few cheesy kurt russell action movies so watched these recently Classics also watched the battle royale movies again recently the 2nd one is hilarious especially when the teacher dives with the rugby ball and his head explodes funniest movie scene ever made imo and you cant beat a good seagal movie, under siege is great and its always on either Dave or The sci fi channel Hard to kill and nico is the shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 In the last week watched - In The Loop - very very good indeed and very amusing! also - Jennifer's Body - not a bad horror/comedy - some very good bits indeed (not to mention Megan Fox!)

Grant(aka_eddy) Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Watched a couple last night The Ugly Truth - 6/10, really average film. For some reason i thought it might be better than it was but this is one for young girls who can giggle at Gerard Butlers slightly smutty character. You wont dislike it and Katherine Heigl is worth an ogle as ever but dont go out your way to watch it. Unless of course you are a 16 year old girl. Also, once you realise the Gerard Butler has a mouth like popeye you are fixated on it! Mulholland Drive - 7/10, Very hard to rate a film that's brilliant in places with David Lynch doing bizzarre, creepy suspense to a T but is just so hard to get through. Like Inland Empire the unfolding of the story is an agonising experience and i'm not sure the ending quite fulfills the viewers need for clarity. That said, Naomi Watts and Laura Harring get it on, twice and Naomi once on her own. And speaking of Naomi Watts, she is brilliant in this. It's odd as i would have given it 6/10 last night after i finished watching it but am creeping towards an 8 or 9 now, it really is brilliant in places and stands out from the norm.
