Thinking of going to the cinema this week. What would people recommend

Hot Fuzz

Goal 2

Epic Movie

Any others that look good.

[Flynny]

Mate told me that Epic Movie is shockingly bad.

[Leicfox]

Blood Diamond is worth a watch.

Just been reading some reviews and people agree that it isn't very good at all. Apparently the trailer just covers all the funny bits

[Geo V]

Classic film favourites include the usual suspects that everyone likes like Shawshank, Casino, Godfather, Scarface blah blah blah but if you like a gamble and a comedy. one of Danny De Vitos earlier films that was quite funny is Wiseguys. It was done by the same director who did Scarface (it was his next film after that which was panned ).

From DVDs over the last 5 years ( just the 5) Id suggest Anaylise This (and the 2nd one), The Borat movie was alright, Sixth Sense, When the Trust met Mandy and Face Off.

[Simi]

Blood Diamond is worth a watch.

Reviews from Odeon.co.uk

This is a perfect example of grand acting and superior directing. These are one of the main things that makes a good film great. I recommend it!!

one of the best films ive ever seen in my life!! ..didnt plan to go and watch this but every second was amazing!! will be buying this when it comes out on dvd def. !!!

This sounds good. Another possibility.

Its one of those films to watch at the flicks for the atmosphere as people laugh at stuff that they wouldnt at home to be honest. It was alright funny that had a few bits where you could possible laugh alot although the image of him wrestling with "Azamat Bagatov" will continue to give me awful flashbacks!

I've seen the clip of that and found that quite disgusting.

[Leicfox]

Ive just finished watching The Last King Of Scotland, which i thought was excellent.

Dunno if its out on the flicks yet though.

[Simi]

Went to see Hot Fuzz today. Brilliant. I would really recommend going to see this especially if you liked Shaun of the Dead. Really funny and entertaining.

8/10.

I was in at 3:30 at the Odeon. Worth the big que. Which went past Nandos.

I heard about that. I pre-ordered me tickets and waltzed past the queue. Sorted.

I didn't actually waltz, though. That'd just be silly.

Meridian > Odeon

I can't get to Meridian though.

[Libertine]

I haven't been to the cinema in forking ages. Needs sorting out tbh. Who will accompany me?

[Simi]

Yarp, it would be

[Flynny]

Hehehe

"......narp?"

[Finnegan]

BOOM. Headshot.

And here it is.

[MC Prussian]

Back for good?

Last movie I watched in theatres was "Into The Wild".

A bit too long for my liking, but with georgeous shots of the Alaskan outback.

[Uncle Monty]

I watched 'Grizzly Man' the other day. It is essential viewing it is clear to ee the man had a lot of emtional issues. The man did eventually get killed by Bears - good film

[coale39]

Ive watched Cloverfield and Juno recently, both very good.

[Uncle Monty]

I was guna watch jewnose the other day but i heard it was a bit of a chick flick. There will be blood is epic. I heard that when Marc Kermode was on newsnight review he just broke down into tears because it was that good.

[Daggers]

I would have broken down in tears had it not been for the fact that I has fallen asleep.

Method acting? Daniel Day Lewis does a funny voice for an entire film and the art world goes into raptures - and people being sheep simply swallow the line that this is good celluloid instead of being able to appraise it for themselves - and it is tosh. Tosh devoid of any real substance, loved by Americans because it is the nearest thing to history they have and loved by Brits because they love things that Americans love.
