Looking at his films, is Lawnmower Man actually any good? I've heard it mentioned, but have no idea what it's about.

It's a shocker, especially now when it's CGI sequences are obsolete.

Oh, thought it was meant to be a bit of a classic. Maybe more a cult classic. I'll avoid it in that case then.

The other one I quite liked was Deja Vu.

Took me ages to get around to watching it, because the bloody trailer just made it seem like Hollywood pap. Really glad I watched it in the end though.

Denzel Washington and Tony Scott is a winning combination (although pelham 123 wasn't that great).

Haven't seen that yet. Didn't Denzel put on quite alot of weight for the role?

Quite liked American Gangster Ricky - I just had the feeling that there was nothing that original about it, felt like I'd seen it all before. Crowe & Washington WERE good though.

About three stone of fat I think.

I forgot about infernal affairs 2 and 3. Are they any good? I've got those on order now.

I'm with you on that. Also I felt like it promised an entirely different climax to the one it delivered.

But Arsenal are a bit like that too.

Two is good, three is a bit of a shocker.

Anyone seen In The Loop?

I thought it was hilarious, especially the american interns.

asajoseph

Yeah, it was. Preferred the series though...

Big Willie

Just watched Unthinkable. What a shoking film in so many different ways.

Burnwinter

Avoid Mademoiselle Chambon like the plague. What a shocking turd of a film.

USArsenal

just saw Black Swan.. lots of Oscar buzz.. thought it was decent, but not as good i thought it would be.. picked up in the last half hour of the movie, but was fairly slow before that.. Natalie Portman was good in it, but overall, wouldnt have been my favorite movie of the year (which is unfortunate because i like Aronofsky)

Burnwinter

Saw Rare Exports at the summer outdoor cinema last night - hilarious Christmas flick:

asajoseph

Can't look past Inception for movie of the year for me.

Anyone seen Tron yet? I saw a 3D trailer for it a few months ago, and it looked bloody amazing.

Captain

Can't wait to see Rare Exports.

Should be seeing Tron later so will let you know. Reading the reviews they all seem to say that it is good entertainment with brilliant effects but it isn't an epic and hence they are marking it down. Considering that all of these critics have presumably seen the original, I genuinely have no idea what they were expecting.

Captain

My favourite film this year was probably Scott Pilgrim.

Quite a poor year overall, can't think of anything particularly memorable outside of the two Di Caprio's, Kick Ass and The lovely bones.

kamikaze

inception should win best picture, though i thought it could've been better given the subject matter.

agree it's been a poor year for film, capi. i can't even think of a single memorable line from anything.

asajoseph

Kick Ass was mint.

And that's a word I don't throw around lightly.

Ricky1985

Loved Kick Ass. Scott Pilgrim was great too. Hard to beat inception though, which was just awesome.

Asa - I enjoyed Tron. Although I didn't manage to catch it in 3D. Although Michael Sheen should be shot for the role he played in it - embarrassingly awful. Just terrible.

Pepe LeFrits

I just watched Aliens again.

Get away from her you BITCH!

Love that film.
