so...orange wednesday...Pineapple express, tropic thunder or the new hellboy....hmmmmmmmmmm

I thought Tropic Thunder was Hillarious, not so effective on the second watch though. Plus I only watched it on Download.

Really not a fan of Ben Stiller, but gave Tropic Thunder a go after reviews from places I normally trust adn it is very very good. Maybe not as clever as some reviewers were making out (it is Ben Stiller after all) and yeah Stiller and Black are annoying but they're meant to be. Worth seeing for Robert Downey Jr's perfomance and Tom Cruise willingly and seemingly happily making an absolute tit of himself. It makes you cringe like you've never cringed before, but again its supposed to and, as over used as this phrase is, fair play to him.

Steve Coogan, also excellent.

And his exit is even better.

As in, I'll nick an idea off Gervais..



Zoolander WAS good I grant you.

Tropic Thunder got 5 stars out of 5 in Uncut, they're claiming its brilliant!

It isn't! I wouldn't bother, I didn't make it more then 40 mins in before deciding it was UTTER shite!!

I really liked Pineapple Express Not the most sophisticated or clever of films, but it made me laugh

Not exactly but i see what you mean.
And this was probably the first Ben Stiller film i've liked.

I watched The Strangers last night. I f**kin loved it. Dunno if its been discussed already, but the tension was awesome. It was creepy as hell for a good hour. The ending was a little bit of an anticlimax IMHO, but I can forgive it that for the fact that the good hour was so good.

major spoiler here.

Liv Tyler - "Why are you doing this?"
The Strangers "Because you were (at) home"

Really enjoyed Pineapple Express, And watched Training Day last night aswell, Great film.

Watched Wolf Creek last night after several recommendations from friends. Utter, utter shite IMHO.

trapped by a psycho killer, you manage to get a car- what should you do? 1) drive away or 2) push the c**t over a cliff?
you wake up, hog tied in a shed - its sunny, you climb out of the window - its dark again
you shoot a psycho killer in the neck, he drops like a sack of shit do you 1) make sure he's really dead 2)tie him up in case he isnt dead, but you dont have the stomach to finish him off or 3) hit him weakly twice with a rifle and leave him there
there are about a dozen cars in a shed, you manage to get one started - guess which one has a killer on the back seat? - bingo!

[Atlanteanlost]

Watched Bloodline

RAFLMFAO although that wasn't the desired effect of the movie me thinks

I really, really, hate films where the killer gets knocked down and out, and the "hero" just runs away. Happens too much.

Pineapple Express starts slow...but the last 40 odd minutes i was in stitches. Came home and watched There Will Be Blood. Really, really, really liked it. Daniel Day Lewis was fantastic in it.

It was awful! There was no tension because everything was so f**king obvious

Spoiler

You could see the whole 'good guy is going to shoot his mate and only chance of escape' about 40 mins before it happened.

... and definatly the modern day twist of an old classic

Spoiler

Killer can't cut phone lines anymore cos everyone has mobiles, so now everyones mobile is somewhere in the house on charge and not in their pocket... no that would be too much of an easy escape!

I would have walked out if it wasn't for the fact that cinema ticket prices are damn expencive these days I wanted to the my money's worth. If not from the film I was watching than at least from the use of the comfy chairs and the air conditioning.

Watched Big Nothing last night, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting and Simon Pegg always makes me smile, won't be in a rush to watch it again or anything though.

Last night I bought The Crow for £2 from Tesco!!!! AND American Psycho for £3! Sometimes I do love Tesco  

I have seen The Crow but it was many many moons ago when I was a child. I've been trying to find a cheap copy for ages and then last night there it was, beaming at me with it's £2 price tag. I can't wait to watch it, I've waited years. I even bought the soundtrack to the film ages ago
