April 29, 201016 yr Just saw 'City Of God', a Portugese film, with subtitles. And I must admit, it was the best film I have seen in a LONG time. It is #17 on IMDB in their list of Top 250 movies of all time, and rightly so! I'm not that good at writing reviews, but, it's a must watch is the least I can say.
May 5, 201016 yr Just watched Harry Brown Implausible plot and te screenplay is too reliant on Michael Caine but the scene when he goes to buy a gun was riveting - worth seeing just for that, together with the line: Ive never told that (long pause) to anyone
May 5, 201016 yr watched that a couple of weeks ago and I didnt get what I expected. I have gone off Cainein recent years simply because he sems to accept any role he is offered. This was a little different, more realistic for an actor of his age. Agree about the gun scene.
May 5, 201016 yr die hard 2 - oscars nilAnother good home result for Wooden Willis Edited May 5, 201016 yr by yorkleyblue
May 7, 201016 yr My friend and I watched American Beauty last night. I'm always surprised at how good Kevin Spacey is in that film.
May 8, 201016 yr Hot Tub Time Machine...quite a realistic jaunt and more like a documentary on something Scientists have likely discovered but are kepping from the general public.
May 8, 201016 yr The Outlaw Josey Wales Now you know that Rheumatoid medicine can double as stain remover...

It is a great film, set in the slums of Rio....some very powerful scenes in there. If you like this, another film to look out for is called La Haine, a French movie I highly recommend too
May 9, 201016 yr Just seen Centurion. Some nice sword, spear type fighting gore. Plot good enough but no great surprises and very predictable. Not up to the same standard as ROME the series or Gladiator. Hoping to see Robin Hood next, hope it's not the same old same old!
May 9, 201016 yr Hoping to see Robin Hood next, hope it's not the same old same old! It can't be as bad as Prince of Thieves, can it? :lol:
May 9, 201016 yr Daybreakers - Avoid it! (and this is from someone that rated The Blair Witch Project)
May 9, 201016 yr Daybreakers - Avoid it! (and this is from someone that rated The Blair Witch Project) I thought the idea of the movie sounded interesting, but it turned out quite bad.
May 9, 201016 yr I thought the idea of the movie sounded interesting, but it turned out quite bad. So it's another "30 Days of Night", then? I haven't seen that either, mind you. I liked the basic setting in "30 Days of Night" and I was looking forward to seeing it(haven't seen a good horror movie in years), but all my mates say it's terrible, so I haven't bothered to watch it yet.

May 9, 201016 yr No, "30 Days of Night" totally blew it away. The thing with films like Daybreakers is they show the best bits on trailers and adverts so the whole film looks brilliant. On seeing it (after mostly paying money for it of course) you soon figure it isn't what you thought it was. The same thing happened with that Alien film that came out recently (what was it called again?)

Yeah, that one isn't good either. It has a few good moments, but, again, the idea was better than the actual movie.
