Oh that swerve!

Another vote here for Kenny, some great lines in that film:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822389/quotes although they missed the "I drink beer like its about to come into fashion and I'm a trend setter"

Also watched the handover last night which although not great was pretty good and to be honest just the sort of thing I needed to watch last night

That's one of the best quotes ever.

Sounds intriguing, esp if you are a Boosh fan.

I couldn't sleep last night and at 3am I had had enough of The World Service and there was fuck all worth watching on telly.

Then I remembered my wife going on about how good Unleashed was - she'd recorded it, so I watched it.

Fucking ace

Jet Li, Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman

Good fight scenes and a very good story. I can't believe I hadn't watched it until now

Jim · November 30, 2009, 02:24:15 pm

tis a good film indeed, very brutal.
Bob hoskins is dynamite

Saw this last night and thought it was quite good (I'm not a massive Boosh fan). Had me laughing through the first ²/₃rds, but it kind of lost its way towards the end. Worth watching though.

Watched law abiding citizen the other day. Very good. In a predictable kind of way.

Quote from: that article

Office worker Tom Logan, who watched the trailer for Avatar during his lunch break, said: "Despite a lifetime of cultural conditioning to believe that massively expensive things are inherently good, I can honestly say the thought of spending three hours watching glorified Thundercats lobbing stones at robots makes me want to pull my foreskin up over my head and bark like a dog.

"That said, I'll probably still go and see it."

magpie · December 10, 2009, 12:37:42 pm

Tom Logan makes me want to see it more.

The Girl w/ The Dragon Tattoo

Me likes. Even in Hurdygurdy.

James King just compared Avatar to Earthsong.

Dark Comode said it was baggy, predicable but surprisingly enjoyable - a spectacle...

He also liked Sherlock Holmes - which looked like a monstrous pile of turd from the trailers, so I might have a look at that over Xmas...

Fiend · December 18, 2009, 04:50:00 pm

Sherlock Holmes does look pretty flange. Some things should be ridiculous (2012, Avatar) and some shouldn't (Holmes).

lagerstarfish · December 19, 2009, 12:25:17 am

Just watched the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard on ITV2. 3rd time I've seen it. Still good. Not in a cultural way, but still very good.

Actually, the deliberate contrasts to the original series make the whole thing pretty Cultural.

Jessica Simpson.... mmmmmm

lagerstarfish · December 19, 2009, 12:36:41 am

And Willie Nelson

lagerstarfish · December 19, 2009, 12:41:07 am

What a formula! Jessica Simpson looking hot, fast cars, Willie Nelson telling Dad Jokes and Burt Reynolds in a big hat.

Jim · December 19, 2009, 01:07:16 am

nevermind that, just caught the last bit of aliens where ripley is fighting the alien with the robot loader. awesome scene

Jaspersharpe · December 19, 2009, 01:30:42 am

I'd like to see Alien vs Avatar blue gay cat things vs Max Cady. Proper.

Falling Down · December 19, 2009, 05:28:19 pm

I know it's been mentioned several times before but I saw In Bruges the other night. I expected it to be good, but not that good. Almost the perfect black comedy.. brilliant!

agree completely as I have probably said before. Talking about black comedy, glad to see Bad Santa got a showing last week, may have to dig out the DVD. surprised it got a terrible write up in the paper, its a modern day xmas classic!

Jim · December 19, 2009, 08:56:15 pm

bad santa is indeed another very good film

BB · December 21, 2009, 03:12:11 pm

Saw Avatar last night, here goes...

BRILLIANT! Best film I've seen this year and I don't care what you all say!

Obvious? Yes very, but oh so involving and pretty.

It was the first film in ages that came out of feeling sad because I'll never get to see it for the first time again.

Bring the hate...
