Suffering through "the proposition" at the moment,dull as dishwasher. Also wasted 100 minutes of my life watching "where the wild things are" last night, utter tosh.
Are there any good new moviesout at the moment?
shutter island is ok, watched that today and wasn't 100% bored
Sorry wrong forum btw. Too much whisky!
Shutter island is on my list, not seen it yet.
+1 for Shutter Island.
Inception.
Memento (bit older I suppose)
'The lives of others' is a brilliant film. Bit short on laffs, though.
-1 for Inception
It's old but Magnolia is probably one of my all time faves
+1 for Magnolia
Apparently go to Ch4 In Bruge is on, now that is a film, unless you are a bender or something.
Kick ass was good entertainment, slightly spoiled by another crappy Nicolas Cage performance, thankfully he didn't feature too much so still well worth watching.
I thought Inception was pretentious mindless drivel, trying too be clever, without actually managing to achieve the aim. A concept movie without the scriptwriting skill to carry it to fruition.
In Bruges was on last night, in case you hadn't noticed 😉
Anything by the uk film council or channel 4 films etc is usually about nine hundred and forty seven billion times more interesting than hollywoods latest offering... if that's any help..
In Bruges was great last night.. followed on bbc2 by another great film featuring Colin Farrell - Intermission
We watched skellig last night which was very good in a non Hollywood sort of way
I hear Inception is OK ...I believe that even Mr Mark 'Hoxton ****' Kermode liked it.
+1 yunki
Recently watched "I love you Phillip Morris" with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor which was ace.
But forget movies I have read a few books recently which have been incredible page turners. Highly recommend "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy. Its like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Pale Rider. Also "Simple Act of Violence" by R J Ellory.
+1 Blood Meridian, an ace read.
Actually, The Road wasn't a bad film.
Just wait for Human Centipede to come out.

I have just read about that in this month's Empire. Fricking weirdness!
Loved Inception!
+1 for Kick-ass best film I have seen in ages...
Human centipede... Trailer is on youtube
Another +1 for Kick Ass watched it last really enjoyed it. Somehow it was disturbing, cool and funny all at the same time.

Well, if you didn't appreciate "The Proposition" there isn't much hope for you I'm afraid. Your film quality barometer is broken. Excellent film. Great writing, acting, cinematography and an excellent score.
Just to chime in - I thought Inception was well written, had a strong concept, decent performances and was beautifully shot but was ultimately quite dull and uninspiring.
The execution just didn't live up to the scope of the concept. In the end it played like a duller more pretentious version of the Matrix with ALL of the life sucked out of it. Rather like the Matrix sequels...
"Human centipede... Trailer is on youtube "
'Wish i hadn't makes Dead ringers/Boxing Helena look 'cuddly' 😐
IMDb quote "I've seen Audition, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, Saw, Hostel, Antichrist and this makes all of them look like Citizen Kane. "
I guess it will prove popular to 'torture porn' junkies and make cult status.
I'll give it a miss 🙁

But you are right about 'Where the wild things...'. i took my kids to see that - I've never been so miserable in a kids film in my life. Boring, whining, depressing, everything the book wasn't. Having said that, there were a couple of beautifully filmed scenes.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Funniest film i've seen all year, with a great soundtrack. Salt was awesome too.
Does anybody make any good movies anymore?
Salt?
Shutter Island?
Christ on a bendy bus, some of you really need to watch some DECENT films.
Thanks Finbar - That's much better.
