Yeh love that film, but prefere "the holy grail"

Watched "Broken Flowers" Last night good film.

Im going to do a dvd/film review in the aproipritae thread now, so check it out if you havent seen the movie.
 
I have that, but I haven't seen it yet. I look forwards to your review 👍.
 
I rented "Inside Man" starring Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, last night. One of the best from '06 IMO. Highly recommended. 👍 Other notable cast members includes: Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor.

I keep forgetting to rent that one. I've gotten so many recommendations to watch it.
 
I watched "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" last night and it was brill. Very funny and well written, it also had very strong character parallels to the "Leathal Weapon" films (no suprise there tho).

About to do my review so if you are wondering if its worth watching then head over to the "DVD Review & Discussion Thread"
 
i've seen that, very good film imo. I've just finished watching "No way out", I love the ending in that. In a good way.
 
Inside Man - 9/10 Great Movie. Denzel was great as always. Good plot that kept you guessing the whole time.

The Great Raid - 9/10 Great movie, great story, just awesome. AND it's all true!

Benchwarmers - 4/10 Wasn't worth the rental fee. There were some funny jokes, but too much random, off-the-wall BS. 👎

My kids LOVE that movie so why wife bought them the DVD. I watched it for 15 minutes, and then went to my room. LOL

I'll watch the whole thing one day, just to torture myself. 👍
 
Walking Tall: I quite liked that movie even though the Rock was in it!

Anchorman: Pretty funny movie!

I heard that Michael Schumacher was mentioned in the movie Cars, but didn't realise that he was actually taking part in the movie, cool!

Full Metal Jacket: Just as thought, I had seen this movie! It was ok!

Longest Yard: Was pretty funny! Cool seeing Stone Cold, Goldberg, Kevin Nash and Kali in the film!

Pride and Prejudice (original version): I really liked this old school film! Even though it was how many hours long!

I think the only part of that movie I liked was the boot camp sequence. Lee Ermey as that crazy drill instructor. Priceless!

Don't bother, you've watched the first 15 minutes - you've seen the whole film, its a one trick pony. I watched it last week 👎
 
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I never saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory so I don't know if the story is the same. How close is it to the original?

It's a good flick. I liked it. The boys thought it was good. We've seen it before.
 
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - One of the funniest movies I've seen in years. I was laughing all through that movie!

I liked both. If memory serves, I thought both plot were pretty close. Major difference to me was Depp and Wilder. While I found Wilder very charming, I thought Depp was laugh out loud funny.

Oh yeah, he played a big part at the end of the movie... It surprised me really. When he first showed up the first thing I said was "Hey, thats Schuey!" and my friends had no idea what I was talking about...

...Then again, I was laughing at a lot of the NASCAR jokes nobody got, and I noticed many more of the cameo appearances. Made me feel awkward in the theatre...

Anyway, I've now watched V for Vendetta twice in the past two days, and I've noticed a lot more each time I've watched it. It is definately one of the best movies from the past year, maybe not in the acting department, but speaking on a level of writing and attention to detail, it is quite good.

...Of course a mention of the movie must accompany a political discussion, but I shal keep it short: All I have to say is bollocks when it comes to people saying it was in attack of the Bush and Blair administrations, as the GN was written in the 1980s, the screenplay in the middle-'90s. Sure, there are coincidences, but as the film points out, there are no such things as coincidences.

Either way, awesome movie, no matter how you feel about the political climate of our world today...
 
Collateral. I've seen it before, and liked it. Now, for the second time, I think it's too boring. I hate the inside cab shots. They make me sick. I hate the blurred camera shots, poor angles, extreme closeups and lo-fi picture quality they were shooting for with these scenes.
 
I've seen collateral a few times and the only thing I didn't like about it was how quickly that detective Fanning put the pieces together.
