I don't get the whole dual citizenship thing. Pick a country, already. I think Ireland just wants to claim Gibson- I don't think he's ever lived there.
It's not a matter of Ireland wanting to claim Gibson. It has to do with Irish law whereby those who have an Irish-born parent automatically are considered an Irish citizen. In very few instances, you will also be eligible if you have a great-grandparent who is or was an Irish-born citizen.Quote:

And I recently saw Universal Soldier: Regeneration with Jean Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren AND Andre Arlovski !
That was a pleasant surprise and actually pretty fuckin bad ass. Probably the best Van Damme movie in nearly 10 years.
I highly reccomend it to any action or Van Damme fans
man i have seen that film so many times, denzel is the manQuote:

Un Prophet which was best film I have seen in many months.
Un prophète (2009)
and
Dead Snow
Død snø (2009)
This was a hilarious swedish zombie flick , very gory and very entertaining.
Look at me watching all the cultured subtitled stuff...:o
Now about to order a pizza and watch Hurt Locker - watch this space for verdict
i been sufering with tonsilitous all weekend so spent most of weekend in bed watchin films as cat get any antibitoics from doc till tomorrow so watched loadsa films
dead man running this is another british crime movie but is actually pretty good its abt a guy who has to pay a loan shark back in 100 grand in 24 hrs. 50 cent plays the loan shark & although its a pretty wooden performance he isnt in it alot. i slagged off british crime films recently so am happy to report that this one i enjoyed.
The stepfather thought this one was good flick its been done plenty of times before but this is better than most, a guy on the run after butchering his previous family moves in with a new family & the son just back from military school doesnt trust him but everyone else thinks he is the perfect stepfather.
conspiracy tv movie abt recreation of the Wannsee Conference where the Nazi Final Solution phase of the Holocaust was devised.
also watched the bourne identity & collateral
that Stepfather sounds a bit like a John Travolta one I saw a few years ago (can't remember what its called). Will give that a try
Forgot to say I also watched Zombieland last night . Very funny with a genius cameo from Bill Murray - well recommended
zombieland was a good flick, short & sweet, murray is a legendQuote:

please let the backlash commence!
I love the Hustler, Paul Newman was brilliant in that film, colour of money had more trick shots in it, but not as good a film but worth watching. Especially if you play pool, as all men should.Quote:

so I watched The Hurt Locker - yes sure it was good and all that , better than average, but I have to wonder what all the big fuss is about.
It's not as brilliant as all the critics are making out and all the oscar talk etc...
Admitedly some real shite gets rewarded at the oscars over the years but I am wondering....
...if this film had been directed by a man would it have been getting all the attention it has ?? :rolleyes:
I for one think not
Here endeth the lesson
i havnt personally seen the film & not really in any rush to watch it either, but yeah i thought ,oh a woman director thats different, so i get where u coming from man!Quote:

I watched Lower City last night. About a Brazilian hooker and two buddies who both fall for here, thereby putting their friendship at risk.
It's mainly a sweaty sex festival.
Predator is class and was a new concept at the time. Never really got the recognition it deserved I don't think - not outside of our generation anyway.Quote:

Commando
Cobra
Predator
No Retreat No Surrender
American Ninja (featuring the legendary Michael Dudikoff;D)
Streets of Fire
Remo : Unarmed and Dangerous

I bought GAMER a couple of nights ago after reading up somewhere that it was really good...............................it was utter shit to be frank!!!I was expecting a modern day RUNNINGMAN kind of film but it was just soo bad.
I'd give it 4 out of 10
Missed Rocky 4, Back to the future and Top Gun.:)Quote:

talking of Red Dawn have you seen whats coming out this year - bad idea I think
Red Dawn (2010)
Watched 'The Spirit' last night, found myself wondering wtf was I thinking putting this on the queue. If you haven't seen it yet don't bother, there is plenty of hotness to go around (Scarlet Johansson, Eva Mendes, Jamie King)
but that's pretty much it for entertainment value. The action sequences play out like three stooges scenes (sound effects included) and the one liners are piss poor.
I watched a brit flick called CLUBBED a couple of weeks back.I bought it on dvd after wanting to watch it for a while.Its a okay watch.Some really good bits in it.I would say it well worth a watch.I'd give it 7 out on 10.
wow some real good moviers in that lotQuote:

Cobra - silly but loved the scene in the shopping market ' I ain't no psycho, man! I'm a HERO! You're looking at a fuckin' hunter! I'm a hero of the New World! - 'You're a disease and I'm the cure'.
Predator - watched it couple nights ago again
No Retreat No Surrender - i used to watch this over & over i was amazed at van damme
American Ninja - a classic thru & thru
Wraith - i loved this film always remember the quote 'skunt you pussy'
Rocky 4 - what can i say perfect 80's film
Back to the future - think this got voted best film of the 80's?
Roadhouse - this had it all fights & a fit bird in it;D
Blood sport - arguably best martial arts film after enter the dragon?
horrible horrible film:mad:Quote:
