If you mean the non Billy Crystal one, then good work fella.

If you liked that, you may like one around the same time called 'Boondock Saints'

Boondock Saints was late 90's wasn't it?
No matter, great film.
I did realise it was the non Greg Isaac film btw.

Couldn't recall the title so looked it up. Have seen it, like you say a cracking film. The young kid has been in a few films recently

Cloverfield is great by the way, if you want a trek out to the cinema.

I like him, but this was only 'ok'... Not a big history fan so perhaps not knowing the full true story it was based on doesnt help...

I agree, Forest Whittaker is brilliant in LKOS, not for the first time. Good film.

M3, defo watch the prestige, another excellent film.

Ditto The Illusionist. Don't usually lilke Edward Norton as much as everyone else seems to, but he acts his little cotton socks off in this.

Will do Rod.

Watched "Awake" last night - after reading its rave reviews.

It was watchable but not as "tense" and "gripping" as it was reviewed as.

Agree with The Illusionist - cracking film.

Watched No Country for Old men and Valley of Elah at the weekend.
Lots of actor overlaps in those films.

Go and see Valley of Elah!

To be honest i thought it was a strange film most of the way through. I haven't really made up my mind about it. It's definately one to think about rather then just sit there to be entertained. I'm going to have to see it again.
When Crash won big at the Oscars and i watched it i could see straight away how, where as after one viewing i prefer In the Valley Of Elah to this.
