last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

Watched 'Bobby' last night (the film 'about' Bobby Kennedy).

Was a bit disappointed in that it didn't really focus enough on Kennedy himself, and had way too many different plotlines goin on (although it sort of drew em together in the end). Also some of the scenes were painfully cheesy.

To its credit, the last 15 minutes or so were fantastic, but from a film of over a 100 mins thats not really what you want.

Its hard to say whether this film is really good or bad, the most accurate is that its mixed.

There's some very good performances from Harry Belafonte, Larry Fishburne, Christian Slater & the guys playing the Latino kitchen staff (sorry can't remember their names).

However, any film that decides its ok to cast Lindsay Lohan, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf & Nick fuckin Cannon in a serious film is always gonna struggle. Also there are too many Hollywood stars (Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt) who you get the sense chose to be in it so they display some kind of liberal credentials.

However, the brief moments that illustrate what Bobby Kennedy was like as a polititian alone make it worthwhile, if only to get a look at one of the truly inspiring political figures of that time. The film suffers from not focusing on him more.

Role Models was fantastic. One of the best comedies I have seen in awhile. That little black kid is hilarious. I agree Mick he's is gonna be a huge star.

Watched Warrior King, Tony Jaa. Fast forwarded through the non fighting bits obviously ;D
Amazing fight sequences.

I just had knee surgery yesterday I had a torn meniscus so I rented a few movies because I knew I would be laid up for a few days. I got Quarantine, Milk, and the newest Punisher movie I haven't watched any of them yet but I'm about to pop in Quarantine in a few minutes.

So yesterday all I did was watch movies because once again I'm laid up from my surgery. Quarantine was pretty good I thought they could of done more with it but not to bad. The Punisher movie was kinda stupid in my opinion I thought the previous one was better. Milk was a really good flick, I'm not really into gay movies like brokeback mountain but this one was decent. Sean Pean is a great actor.

yo bro hope u feelin ok, i am off for an operation on my nose tomorrow, had it broke so many times that am gonna get it sorted out as dont take part in any combat sports anymore. so i will prob be chillin out for next week or so watchin films been told gotta keep me kids away from me incase they climb all over me & mess my nose up.

i aint been on saddo for abt 10 days so here is a list of the films i seen recently

irresistable watched this one cos got the gorgeous emily blunt in but its crap so stay away from this one 3/10

Punisher warzone disagree with a few of u think its better than the last one, but that aint saying much, prefered the dolph lungdren one 5/10

Benchwarmers was better than i thought it was gonna be, enjoyed it because of that reason alone 6/10

new in town chick flick with renee zellweger in but still enjoyed this with the wife, easy to watch 6/10

Gothika love this one seen many times but was on tv again so watched it again, the film really works for me & halle berry is so hot hot hot 9/10

Gattica is good not Gothika
Stigmata was also good
I liked End of Days.

found stigmata hard to watch, really pretty horrendous really, but good film

end of days is awesomr film, remember goin cinema to see that just before millenium & people were kinda worried a little about things leading into new century

not seen Gattica

Just watched 'Knowing'.

If only I'd have found a cryptic list of bad movies to come, cuz knowing that, I'd have taken a pass on seeing this movie.

:shakehead:

Watched slumdog millionaire last night, enjoyed it but i was expecting more.
8/10.

I like the principle in Stigmata that if Jesus was around he would be horified about the establishment of a religion under his name, he was anti-establishment and said religion was inside the person not in buildings.

End of days was good and Gabriel Byrne was goo in it too.

See Gattica it is about a world in the future that decides what you will be by you genes and someone trying to go against that culture.

I watched the boxer with Daniel Day-Lewis again for the 100th time.

I still never seen that movie it must be pretty good if you have watched it so many times? I'm gonna have to rent it and give it watch.

I watched on the ropes from the link I posted in the DL section, pretty well made movie I thought, other than that havent watched much, mainly tv series such as entourage, mcguiver (what can't he do?) and underbelly.

The boxer isnt that good tbh. I just watch anything that has boxing in it.

On the ropes was good, but it got sappy near the end.

Watched Green Street (Hooligans) 1 & 2 over the weekend; although they're both terribly untrue being a football fan I quite enjoyed the watch as hooliganism (although a very small percentage) is part of the game

As for boxing movies I quite like Ali (Will Smith) would recommend it

Yea watch the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxSMzbXD7Kw its called Stand Your Ground and some of the Millwall & West Ham fans are in prison :o It has a few of the cast from the original and if you liked the first you will probably like it (it reminded me of mean machine)

I FINALLY got to watch Unforgiven all the way through in peace.....God damn Clint Eastwood is in some fine Westerns! Hackman and Freeman also don't hurt the movie ;) .....I figured the end would be a bit more gory but eh, it worked out due to good actors.

I just saw this excellent BBC film. It's called "Matchpoint".

Yeah I really felt sorry for that woman, I'm not sure what happened to him, looked like he didnt want to fight in the pros anymore though. I'm guessing he would be on boxing rec if you want to look him up.

I just took a look on boxing rec and his record is 20-3 and hes 35 years old now, unless thats the wrong guy. I never heard of him though.

I watched Enter The Dragon again. Bruce Lee is the man.

Equilibrium is a good movie I actually bought that movie awhile ago. Bale is really good in it.

watched rocky 2 whilst staying in hospital on monday night (my wife brought my portable dvd player in for me), still my favourite of them all;D

just watched teen wolf with the kids cant believe its 24 yrs old, still love the film 10 outta 10 for me!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../Teen_Wolf.jpg

i remember i had this poster on my wall as a kid ha ha now i feel old!

TeenWolf is an awesome movie!

Coach Finstock: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Stiles was the best though. "Just watch those WAVES!"

ha ha lyle your right brotha coach was amazing, just didnt care

coach finstock: Look Scotty, I know what you're going through. Couple years back, a kid came to me much the same way you're coming to me now, saying the same thing that you're saying. He wanted to drop off the team. His mother was a widow, all crippled up. She was scrubbing floors. She had this pin in her hip. So he wanted to drop basketball and get a job. Now these were poor people, these were hungry people with real problems. Understand what I'm saying?
Scott Howard:What happened to the kid?
coach finstock: I don't know. He quit. He was a third stringer, I didn't need him.
------------------------------------------------------------------

coach finstock:It doesn't matter how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose. And even that doesn't make all that much difference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
dragons basketball coach:You want to forfeit the game?
coach finstock:Yeah, what's wrong with that?
dragons basketball coach:No.
coach finstock:No?
dragons basketball coach:My players have league scoring records at stake. It wouldn't be fair to them.
coach finstock:I just thought figured you quit now, you can beat the 5 o'clock traffic.
dragons basketball coach:There's a lot to learn from losing.
coach finstockAlright, we'll play, if it's that big a deal to you.


;D

I was watching Shadow of a doubt over yesterday and today. A brilliant film, one of Hitchcocks best IMO.
