Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Paper thin plot with script and acting to match, but actually fairly entertaining. Better than Transformers at least.

Wolfetone

I watched Jason Statham in Hummingbird last night. It's quite a claustrophobic film but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Armageddon.

Christ I forgot how bad that film is.

it's one of those films you just have to watch from time to time, just to remind yourself why you said last time that you'd never watch it again.

I tell you what, though: Heath Ledger gave a captivating performance as the Joker.

Just downloaded A Most Wanted Man.

Anyone any views on this? With spoilers?

I liked it, although thought it was quite slow paced.  It was a good watch and the plot was pretty good too (although I'm not keen on political films).  I know you said "with spoilers" but I'm guessing you meant "without spoilers"??

I preferred Anton Corbijn's film The American over A Most Wanted Man.   it was a slower paced film too but I preferred the story as it was less political based and was more of a thriller.

In the end it turns out that the guy who plays Günther Bachmann is actually dead in real life.

Deadman

I'm watching a Paul Newman film right now; The secret war of Harry Frigg. I haven't seen it since I was a kid and it's not lost any of it's charm. Brilliant stuff.

Can't argue with that, it was pretty bad.

Had Live and Let Die on whilst doing stuff around the house. It's not a film that's aging well.

I think Scarlett Johansson is a terrible actress.  Lucy is some of her worst acting ever IMO.

But you have to admit she's hot.

To be fair, it was cack pretty much from the day of release.

WHAT!!!!!!???

 

 

Good Lord I love Live And Let Die, one of the best Bond films imo. Funny, entertaining, best bond theme song, hot women, great car chase, cool baddies, and a super villain who when he takes his mask off has exactly the same face underneath.

 

Great film.

 

You are entitled to your opinion of course but I have raised an eyebrow in your general direction and said "pfffft"
