*** 'THE OFFICIAL MOVIE THREAD' ***

[Linux]

Whilr in here, watched a few films lately:

Burn after Reading - Possibly the funniest Coen Bro's film (or joint 1st with Lebowski), Brad Pitt is funny in this film, John Malkovich is pure class as usual!

In Bruge - Turn a serious subject into dark comedy, very very up my street, the Irish accent makes this film! The bit with Midget, Hookers and Cocaine is class

Gran Torino - Might be Eastwoods finest work, didn't realise just how funny this film was going to be! His Racism is hilarious through-out (PS im not a racist, just found all the different terms hilarious for the one type of Nation), Best bit in Movie when Eastwood takes the wee boy into the Barber shop! watched that bit about 30 times!!!

Rambo 4 or John Rambo as its known - If you grew up on Rambo and Rocky Films like it did, you'll love this film like i did, yes he is old, yes his voice is slurred, yes the story line is pretty basic(and yes he runs through the jungle at 30MPH at the tender age of 61years old at one point in the film) but at the end of the day, Rambo kicks fekkin ass baby! He is pure Class on that Vehicle Machine Gun.

Loved all of those except for burn after reading. In Bruge may well have been my fav film of 09.

Any1 got any ideas what i could watch today??

How badly did u wanna hit gay brad pitt in the face?

I had to turn it off half way thru

I agree completely benji, fell asleep after about 30mins

Watched The International was decent 7/10

Anyone got any recommendations of out worth watching,doesn't neccesarily have to be new.Just good a not already mentioned

[Josedinho]

Watched Angels and Demons - not as good as the book and when you know the ending it took alot away from it.
Well over 2 hours and it didn't seem long enough for me. Still rushed in places. Decent film still but i thought it would be amazing.

Gone back in time tonight.
Sky+d  The Mexican

Thought it looked familiar when I started watching it, then I realised its not new its 8 years old and id seen it before.

Watched it again anyway, very enjoyable.

   Angels and Demons

Yes the ending is v different to the book, and i agree if you read the book before the film its disapointing

The name Angels and demons reads the same upside down, clever that

Caught up on a few good films the other day

The Mist - pretty decent horror/thriller with a few good twists

Slumdog Millionaire - still not sure about this was good but too be honest i was expecting a different type of film so maybe thats why i wasnt 100% sold on it

[Hairydude]

Went to the cinema to watch "in the loop" today

Thought it was brilliant

Question regarding Angels and Demons.

If I thought the book was complete tat, is it worth me going to see the film?

Not in my opinion. I think the film is alot worse than the book. Characters missed out, ending changed, rushed in places etc

[TheChipPrince]

''Drag me to hell'' tonight i think, all being well...

[The-Crow]

Watched the PINK Panther 2 last week

Steve Martin does his usual reutine. ( cant spell that )

Makes fun of the Pope , which is bad taste, not needed , spoils the film
