saw a film called Valhalla Rising yesterday which was interesting! Not very much happens but if you like films that are visually stunning with a fair bit of harsh violence (was apparently re-classified when released on dvd to add more grotesqueness!) then it is a good punt. Bought it in asda for about £8 which isn't bad for a relatively new release.
anyone seen the film Irreversible?

Hot Tub Time Machine - OK but not as good as the Hangover.
Youth In Revolt - Loved it.
Sherlock Holmes (2010) - Thought it was a bit phish to be honest. Maybe just cant stand Jude Law.

I thought Predators was ok.
As Josh says, better than the Alien V's movies but not as good as the original 2. Still nto a bad few hours entertainment. Better than ruddy twighlight that I got dragged to yesterday. Having not seen the first two I had no idea what was going on, not that there was much plot anyway it was bloody obvious what was gonna happen it just took two hours for it to happen, AND the bird in it didn't even have the decency to get her tits out! :roll:

Shutter Island (4/5)- Highly recommend. This is a great watch. I've not been a fan of DiCaprio for a long time. For me he is probably the most overrated actor in the business so i went into this with scepticism. But it really gripped me from the outset. It's not perfect and at times the story gets a little chaotic and you're not sure what's going on but stick with it.
Green Zone (2/5) - This is dull. It tries very hard to do a "Bourne in Iraq" but in the end it's just boring in Iraq. It's over complicated, drawn out, scrappy and at no point do you give a **** about anyone or anything in the film. Not much good i can say about it at all really. Few good action bits here and there and an ok ending.

I love Leonardo Di Caprio!
I think he truly is one of, if not, the best actor of his generation. Come on!
One of his first being "What's eating Gilbert Grape" which is a good film but made so much better because of his performance.
"The Basketball Diaries" is one of my favourite films and Di Caprio along with Mark Wahlberg is superb in that.
OK, I can understand the feeling towards him from Titanic, and I along with everybody does not like him for that, but the films he has done in the last 10 years are simply amazing.
I'm not going to go to imdb to list all of his films but such films as:
The Aviator
The Beach
Catch me if you can
The Departed
Blood Diamond (a truly brilliant film)
Shutter Island
I haven't seen Inception yet and will go into it with a clear mind :wink:

For me the last 10 years has been pretty poor quality from him and he always seems to go for the same sort of thing. Enough with Scorsesse already!
Some of his roles in the 90's were great, Gilbert Grape and Basketball Diaries especially.
The best actors of his generation are Daniel Day Lewis (4 Oscar noms, 2 wins) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (3 Oscar noms in 5 years, 1 win). He has never once got near the standard of their best work for me.
To be fair i haven't got round to seeing Blood Diamond yet but i will do and if he's good in it, fair enough. Shutter Island was great but his performance was just ok.
The Aviator, The Beach, Catch me if you can, The Departed i found all to be just above average at best tho his performance in Aviator was better than usual. And that's not to mention Gangs of New York and Body of Lies which were both fairly awful.
It's not that he's awful, it's just that he's always quite bland and never surprises or excels. I waited years for his "big role" and it never came. Now i've lost patience with his 1 tone performances.

Saw Toy Story 3 recently. Really loved the film as expected.
There was a great SW-reference in it too.

Completely agree about Hoffman (I would have to say that Boogie Nights is in my top ten ) but I think I have your opinion about Di Caprio about Daniel Day Lewis!
I really am not a fan of his at all, apart from In the name of the father or My left foot for example. I just think that he plays the same character in every movie - I agree with you about the Gangs of New York and it was boring as anything (apart from the beginning with Liam Neeson :wink: ) but I have to say that with There will be blood I was so disappointed and again BORED! (How on earth EMPIRE can give the film the title of the film of the noughties is beyond me - I suppose that concurs your point on the quality of the last 10 years worth of film Pete!)
You MUST see Blood Diamond (I just hope I haven't hyped it up too much!)
Have you seen Inception, Pete? Also, have you ever seen the Assassinatino of Jesse James by the coward Rober Ford?

Fair enough, personally Daniel D-L's performance in There Will Be Blood took my breath away. Best performance of the decade for me (tho not best film that would either be Memento or Adaptation). Only film i didn't like DDL in funnily enough was Gangs of New York, thought he was really hammy. We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.
But i promise i will watch Blood Diamond and get back to you. I have heard good things. I have it on my Hard Drive so maybe tonight.

Just seen the Darjeeling Limited and really liked it. I love Wes Anderson's films and the Royal Tenenbaums is one of my all time favourites.
The wife hated it though "because nothing happened"
Women :lol:

Where The Wild Things Are (2/5) - Beware, this is incredibly heavy ****. One of the most depressing films i have ever seen. Not a light moment from start to finish... Jeeeez. I need to go watch Shindler's List or something for a bit of light relief...
It's a shame, i was expecting so much more from the usually brilliant Spike Jones.
She's Out Of My League (2.5/5) - Implausible, goofy, light, rom-com strengthened by a talented young cast and 4 or 5 genuinely funny moments including one "shaving" scene which had me laughing out loud, tho i have a strange sense of humour.
It's enjoyable enough but very lazily written and not buyable for a minute. A real one-watcher.
It's A Boy Girl Thing (1.5/5) - Wanna see Sharon Osborne embarrass herself and make a complete hash of her career as an actor then give this a watch. Not much else to say. We've seen all this before, many many times... at least 3 times last year.
Moan, moan, moan... :lol:
