I thought Sin City was way over rated but it's still quite canny and certainly an interestingly made film.

 

I finished off watching Brick last night and I really enjoyed it. It seemed like a sort of mix of The Maltese Falcon & Millers Crossing.

The fact that all of these high school kids were going on as if they were organised crime was a bit unrealistic and it did make it seem a bit like Bugsy Malone in places but if you can get over that it's a really good film.

A Very Long Engagement.

Thanks to whoever recommended this as it's absolutelty brilliant.

Totally gorgeous and superbly acted especially Audrey Tautou. After watching this and Amelie, Jeunet is fast becoming one of my favourite directors.

Can't belive he's the same bloke who did Alien Resurrection like.

Have got Sin City and The Matador coming from LoveFilm. No idea why I put either on my list. :blush:Any good?

 

I've got the Matador on the way as well.

 

Sin City is awesome!

 

Watched The Matador last night. I enjoyed it. Basically if you don't like Brosnan, I don't think you'll like it because it's cheesy Brosnan-tastic. It's nothing special at all, but it's entertaining enough. <_<

Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West

 

Forgot how much a classic spaghetti western this was,so i bought the special edition dvd

 

By far the most iconic of Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns, "Once Upon A Time in the West" is also a masterpiece of cinema by any standards. Leone here plays with themes and images of the West far deeper than those of his previous "Dollars" trilogy, subverting the conventions of the Hollywood Western to show, in a sense, the "death" of the old West.

It is a great film and one of my favourites but I still prefer The Good The Bad & The Ugly which would probably in my all time top ten.

Is "Rocky Balboa" worth downloading?

 

Not really, and thats coming from a big fan of the originals.

I've got the box set. Surely it's better than Rocky 5?

If you're going to copy and paste from other sites you should really provide a link or at least put it in quotes..

Its probably better than 5, but its not a patch on 1-4. At least in those, despite Rocky being the underdog you could maybe see how he was a successful boxer. This new one is just ridiculous, a 60 odd year old man fighting the heavyweight champion? <_<

It's not that much of a stretch considering George Foreman announced a fight at the age of 55...before his wife told him not to be silly and that it was time for his tea.
