    Um the Bourne movies the camera shook soooo much it is impossible to watch, I don't get how any human on this planet can deal with that shakeycam.

    Babel has been mentioned and is spot on.

    Most pure action movies, really they all bore me. Die Hard included.

    Really?

    Sure you're not confused? With Bruce Willis, terrorists taking over the Nakatomi plaza?

    I'm not even angry, just sad.

    OumaFan you remind me of my brother. He shared very similar sentiments. Maybe if I was of the Die Hard era? I don't know.


    Never seen it but I'm not sure the Love Guru counts.

    Erkel's dad playing the disillusioned cop who ends up pulling his gun for the first time since he murdered a child who just had a play gun

    you need to watch it again.

    Erkel's dad? Wasn't it Laura's dad?

    and I'm glad you decided I must watch it again, maybe if I need to sleep one of these nights.

    Myself, I'm bever sure who to blame for a movie I dislike. Take most of the Rocky Movies, or Rambo movies for example. Is it just Stallone's acting that's shit, or is it the story, or the direction, or what?

    Anyways, obviously I have little use for Stallone as an actor. Or is it just his characters I hate?

    fuck you're right, Erkel wasn't a direct descendant was he? Good job remembering the daughters name.

    As wrong as you generally are in this thread, the Bourne camera was a bit annoying, I only saw the first.

    Die Hard 1, is quite possibly in top 5 greatest action movies ever.

    The Bourne movies are up there with my favorite trilogies of all time.... I may give Cold Mountain a try another time.. Wasn't in the mood for it... My girlfriend has read a book every week for the 4 years i've known her, and Cold Mountain was the first book that she didn't want to finish..


    Shows that we all have different tastes..

    I'm a real fan of cheap thrills though... I do like deeper stuff of course, but rarely is a big blockbuster with even a half decent story line wasted on me..

    I didn't like Crash either.. Didn't like Monsters Ball or whatever with Halle Berry.. Plus this one will probably get me crucified by a few people, but I wouldn't put Halle Berry in my top 200,000 most attractive women on earth.. Neither with Angelina Jolie.. Both are as overrated to me as just about anything can be overrated....

    Darn, every time I try to think of some of the movies I didn't like, I end up just thinking of actors I don't like..


    I'll have to dig up one of our "recommend me a movie" threads.. I remember most of the movies recommended were brilliant, but there were a few that I thought were horrible...

    I watched Seven Pounds yesterday, I thought that was a great film, actually got a bit weepy at the end, it was a sad film but uplifting at the same time and Will did a great job in it I thought.

    They just started advertising that over here and comes out 7th of January I think.. or something like that... Just from the ad's i've seen on television, I can't work out what it's even about? I'll probably pass on the spoiler.. The Mrs is probably going to drag me to see it sometime..



    Another one that looks interesting is Curious Case of Benjamin Button.... The one where the guy is born old and gets younger through his life... Looks incredibly strange and possibly a bit of a ladies movie...
    Has anyone seen this?? Another one i'll be dragged to in the next few weeks, so a heads up if I should bring my PSP kidding...



    I've only got a DS...

    Seven Pounds is a great film mate but honestly if you are capable of being even remotely emotional over movies I wouldn't watch it in a public theatre. I sat at home on my own and couldn't help shedding a tear or two, if I'd have been in public I would have had to kill myself.

    Benjamin Button is my viewing choice this weekend, it's supposed to be the best film of the year, has gotten great reviews.

    My favourite film of the year so far though has been Taken with Liam Neesen. That film was just fucking rocked

    Really? Me and Danny just watched it last night too.

    It was okay, and yeah, I cried at the end, but it was a bit predictable for me. The only thing that surprised me, is what was used to end it, although it shouldn't have. I'm sure you know what I mean, I don't want to give it away for anyone that hasn't seen it.
