Film recommendation.

Ace in the hole starring Kirk Douglas ,particularly pertinent given the on going situation with the Chilean miners !

127 Hours one of the most disturbing films this year? Only a couple screening so far and paramedics have had to attend to people in a few. Panic Attacks, Seizures and Fainting (well reportedly).

Also seen a lot of hype around two facebook movies. 'The Social Network' and 'Catfish'

Animal Kingdom. Saw it last night, pretty good.

Has anyone seen the Banksy film "Exit Through the Gift Shop Yet?  Recommend it?

Yes. Yes.

Brothers is quality. Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maquire.

I'm quite excited by 'The Town', Ben Affleck's second feature film as a director. And 'Gone Baby Gone' was really good. And have heard good things from 'The Town'. It seems he is sticking close to his Boston roots so far.

Those who haven't seen 'Gone Baby Gone' it's like a grittier 'Without a Trace' but better.

I thought it was quite good, I remember Letterman was going on about it on his show being the best thing he has seen in ten years.

MacGruber is a mixture of funny and so funny you accidently wee yourself a bit*

Has anyone seen Gordonia?  Is it worth seeing or too bizarre for words?

I'd forgotten Leonard Rossiter was in 2001 a space odyssey.

The Other Guys. Will Ferrells best movie in quite a while.

This is one of the best films I have ever seen is Un Proph�te (A Prophet) . Saw it last night and it is GRITTY!!!

If you want to see a depressing film, watch Precious. Nothing nice about it. Horrible, horrible, but a very good film.

REC 2 has been shown on Rialto - I thought it was better than the first one.

Rec was great and Rec 2 started off just where the other left off and didn't disappoint one bit.  Rec 3, if it can keep up the high standards would probably make it one of the best trilogies where every movie in it is good.  I can't think of another good trilogy off the top of my head.

EDIT:  LOTR trilogy was good.  Point still stands, Rec films are quality and also very different so hard to compare.

Re: The Expendables. I know someone who's seen the uncut version of this flick and in some scenes where you thought it was cut - it was and this uncut version has it all, including the full Arnold scene near the start. Can't wait for the Official DVD to come out. It was a good flick full of "In" jokes at the main actors.

Legends of the Guardians in 3D.

Got the approval of both Jnr Jnr & Jnrette.

The owls speak in Aussie accents for the most part with a few Lunduners frown in for good measure.

Worth seeing in 3D

(nb - film for kids but with a lot of owls fighting with metal talons)

3d is awful, if there's a regular version I may watch it.

Saw The Other Guys and it's quality.  If you aren't a fan of Will Ferrell then I don't know if you'll like it as he's certainly the best.  Most of his facial movements are enough to make me laugh, let alone his comments.

And by the way, the lion-tuna conversation (at least what I saw on youtube) is far, far longer in the movie making it all the better.

I watched Get him to the Greek or whatever it is called last night.  Thought I would hate it as I think that Brand is a c**t, and Puffy Diddly or whatever is name is is a c**t as well, but it was actually surprisingly good.

FINALLY! Was beginning to think I was the only sane one 3D is rubbish and adds absolutely nothing other than income to people who know idiots will buy into anything trendy.

But you'd watch 3d porn wouldn't you?

As a one off I don't mind it (Avatar) but after that no thanks.  People saying it's the way of the future is a terrible prospect.  I got told that by saying I dislike 3-d I was as stupid and illogical as a person who was opposed to bringing colour into movies which otherwise would have been black and white.  Someone has to be wrong I guess.

I saw Avatar in 3D and only because I got free tickets (for both Avatar and 3D, I wouldn't pay for either). Just gave me a headache and added nothing.

I thought The Damned United was really good. I didn't know a lot about Brian Clough before, he was an interesting character. And good football-related films are rare.

I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D and it was good, but not really mind-blowing. The effects themselves were pretty mind-blowing but the actual 3D aspect wasn't anything completely amazing.

Went and saw The other guys last night.

Anchorman has to be his best. Ron Burgundy for PM.

Just watched Sin City for the first time in a few years.  Man it's a quality movie.

This^^... He was back to his best and he played the character superbly.. Ohh and has anyone seen 'Tomorrow when the war began'?? I loved it. That is all. tomrewi2010-10-10 08:57:46

Harry Brown = class.

very very disgusting in most places but it's a great movie.

the Human Centipede - the most disgusting film ever made!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKNq9Bi8F-Q - In the all time great top 10 movies list?

Leon, starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman is a quality movie.  Really good.  Just watched it.
