Just saw the trailer for Vantage Point. Really looks like a good flick.

[Presty On Tour]

Bizzare is all i can say..

[Nelsta]

The new Disney/Pixar film looks like another good-un....Very reminiscent of Johnny-5.

Wall-E

[Rovermatt]

Very much. It could be great.

And so it would appear to be.

[Presty On Tour]

I watched the butterfly effect after it was recommended to me by some friends.

i know it's not a new release etc but i've never watched it before until earlier and i must say it was very good.

[adopted scouser]

OK, apologies for the quality (or lack of) but here is the critter 'Cloverfield'

[Rovermatt]

I saw Charlie Wilson's War last night and No Country For Old Men this evening. Both are fantastic, especially the Coens' latest effort.

[Presty On Tour]

anyone seen rise of the foot soldier?

[Rovermatt]

I'm not really a big fan but I'm sort of looking forward to this.

It looks good I saw the trailer today before Cloverfield. Nice to see if the first Enterprise will be as interesting as the others.

Cloverfield was meh in my opinion, If I hadnt have been sitting there thinking I was watching The Blair Witch Project I think I would have liked it better. Nice parts with the M1A1's though.

Watched a film on sky premier (which finishes on premier tomorrow) called Superman Doomsday.

Granted its a cartoon however, its better than superman returns.

If you like superman - check it out

Does it follow the same story as the comic book. I.E. doomsday kills superman?

Yes it does (this info shouldnt spoil the film for people because it tells you this in the info for the film)

[Nelsta]

Cheers fella.i'll give it a watch.

[Ronin]

Watched the new Coen Brothers film 'No Country For Old Men'. Thought it was alright, more in the style of Fargo. But although I'm a fan of their films, I don't think it's quite the masterpiece that some reviews say it is.

[Cocker]

Watched I am legend - bit to boring for me. It rates up there with Tom Hanks talking to a volley ball.

Also watched (And I know some will laugh at this because its something I should have watched ages ago) Scarface. After watching this its very easy to see exactly where Rockstar got their idea from for the GTA games - its nearly an exact copy. Strangely, my favorite bit of the film is when Tony Montana is dancing - made me laugh anyway.

[Rovermatt]

Scarface is really good but when you think about it, not an awful lot actually happens. In fact for an allegedly epic movie, much of it is very rushed.

Anyway, I saw In the Valley of Elah on Friday and it's a remarkable film. Tommy Lee Jones has rightly been nominated for an Oscar, his performance is incredible.

Watched Juno, I don't know where all this Oscar schlongsuck comes from, it was good film for what it was but an Oscar nominee?

Especially since there was no nominations for 300 or Zodiac.

[Biddy]

Who knows what goes on in the minds of tinseltown folk. Isn't Norbit nominated for something. Yep "Achievement in Make-up" Surely it's the same as every other fat suit Eddie Murphy has put on in his career.

Oh and I watched Sweeney Todd over the weekend. Thought it was a nice realisation of the story. I just didn't get into the songs, nothing particularly catchy and I found it hard to make out what Helena Bonham Carter was singing half the time. I think it's just me though as the rest of the world seem to think it's the best adaptation ever.

I thought Juno was pretty good, nice little film. Really dsliked 300 and Zodiac though, so probably just very different tastes.

Nah, the best one was when Ray Winstone did it

[broadsword]

Yeah, the bit where he's grooving away is really silly!

I think Scarface is a bit overlong, they could've trimmed 20-odd minutes here and there I'm sure. The bit where they take that dude up in the chopper was quite good. Plenty of great lines in it, and a totally mental performance from Pacino.

One of my fave films is Carlito's Way, and there are plenty of sly nods and winks to Scarface in that film, it's a sort of unofficial sequel to it. eg, the nightclub Carlito runs is El paraiso, the name of teh burger bar Tony has in Scarface.
