Watched quite a few movies recently.... 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days. Set over the space of a day in the last few years of Ceuasescu's Romania, as a girl helps her friend to undertake an illegal abortion, Overall, one of the worst comedies I've ever seen. In all seriousness, it was very powerful and hard to watch. As I'm sure this is exactly what was intended, I'd give it an 8/10. True Romance Never seen this before. Highly enjoyable, good cast but fucking riduculous. Pretty much sums up everything Quentin Tarantino has ever been involved with. 7.5/10 Brooklyn Rules Written by one of The Sopranos writers so gave it a shot. Without doubt, the most generic and unoriginal mob film I've ever seen. Reminded me of when Mike Myers jokingly turns to the camera in Waynes World 2 and says he feels like he's in a "John Huges rites de passage movie." Could have started with the same line but replaced Hughes with Scorcese. Also Freddie Prince Jr accent (as well as his general shit acting) is hilariously bad. It's just a shit Bronx Tale. Otherwise decent supporting cast brings it up to a 4/10 Tape Really like single setting movies, or character based drama's which take a few though-provoking storylines and follows them intensely. As a result have been going through some of Richard Linklaters lower budget flicks, which tend to come in this format. Enjoyed this a lot, only has three characters and one tiny set, the inside of a shoddy motel. Pretty much impossible to say anything about the plot without spoiling it for someone, but if you like the kind of movie described, then I'd recommend you check it out. Came to the conclusion recently, that although he's been in some pish, Ethan Hawke is actually one of the most under-rated actors going. Another 8/10

If this plan works you should start an escort agency specialising in the recently dumped. Box Office Angels VLLtd

Whats the story these days with getting your wages reumbursed from jury duty? Getting called up but the problem is I don't have any fixed or guaranteed hours at work. If I'm unavailable I don't get paid and the amount of shifts I take varies massively depending on the placement I do. Any info appreciated.

Whoever first thought of combining 99p drinks and high resolution cameras has a lot to answer for.

It's a little bit of a mis-service to desolve the polis of any blame, as there were obviously mistakes made. Mistakes that have completely changed the modern game. The really abhorrent thing though is apart from being responsible for the death of over 100+ fans in the space of a few years, Liverpool fans still think its OK to charge into grounds without tickets. Obviously they blame anyone but themselves for Heysel/Hillsborough but even on a personal level, what a c**t you'd have to be to go and take someones seat at a CL final. Like your analogy Mrs M, police didn't handle it well, but it was the fans absolute scumminess that gave put everyone in that situation in the first place.

Cant find a decent pic of this guy, so I'm going to have to use a video comparison on this one.. 'Goodie' Mike from 'The Room' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWCTL01wioc Both prone to getting caught shagging in public too.

I think the Sopranos is better to be honest, but I'd have it as the second greatest TV show As a disclaimer, it takes a while to really get into it. There's so much stories interlapping that it didn't grip me at first. It really is a work of genius though so get it bought!

Whoever wrote that has single handedly convinced me of the merits of abortion. Infact they should be used more often to make sure nobody that stupid gets old enough to use a computer.

And another. Just read the top youtube comment about Andrew Strong from this vid which made me genuinely laugh oot loud.. Fantastic. And so very true.

Got the man-flu and can't sleep. Got some of the that funky motown on to nurse my blues....

Always had a soft spot for the Toffees since I was down in Liverpool when my dad worked down there. Went to go and have a look at Anfield. Was about £25 for the stadium tour. Waited around for ages only to discover that it was sold out for months. So we popped round to Goodison and were allowed to walk straight through onto the side of the pitch for free. The staff there were absolutely top notch and just summed up the difference between them and Liverpool. 'Peoples club' indeed! Never sure about this 'we' business when talking about English teams but 'mon the toffees anyway. I can also relate to their financial frustrations. Tight fucks.

CV This lad has made the papers with his painfully truthful CV, after a spate of angry responses from job agencies. He describes his chance of enjoying the vacancy as 'statistically improbable', his education as 'pointless' and his personal attributes as being 'free from all venereal disease'

You should have your Blockbuster card/access to films online instantly revoked for this

Watched this would agree with the 6/10, maybe a 7. I only know Julie Delpy from Before Sunset/Sunrise and she has some balls to write such a similar film for her next big picture. Michael Clayton (2007) Really decent legal thriller. Kept me engrossed for the 2 hours but had one or two little plot drivers which just took the piss a little bit. Thought the film was really well constructed but a bit lazy with that foolishness. Still an 8/10.

One of our mates did this same thing when we booked our first holiday after school. Except once he realised it was too late, he tried to excuse himself by saying that there'd been some admin error and it wasn't his fault. We were sitting in a mates house, sorting out the last minute details for ourselves, and watched him have a fake 5 minute conversation with the operator at the Home Office number, before eventually breaking, throwing the phone down and begging for forgiveness. Mug On a different note, we're the complete opposite. There was six of us booked up for Hungary but now 2 or 3 more are in the process of joining last minute. Gonna be a tight squeeze in the apartment.

Dunno if already posted but..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUm8wtDQgTU

More good advice, make sure if your friends from home come to visit, that you brief them with your new version of how many birds you've pumped at school. Few of my peers got caught out on this one. Amateurs.

For me he treads the line ever so thinly, between absolute welt and top boy. If he actually takes himself seriously then he's a dick. If not he really is value for money.

"Taxi driver, fackin came aat 1976 right, got cunted" "I've never seen a film get no stars before, fackin broadsheet cants"

"Somehow Ken, I believe the balance will tip ever so slightly in the favour of culture. Like a big, fat, fucking retarded black girl on a see-saw.....opposite a dwarf" Genius. Another good example of Farrell's comedic ability is Intermission. Great film.

A Prophet (2009) Having seen a few gritty European crime type flicks like Le Haine and Commorrah, gave this a go. Film tells the story of this timid Arabic laddy in a French prison that becomes suboardinated to the Corsican mafia who run the joint. Guess it takes the 'rise to power' storyline that many crime films use, but is done in a much more sophisticated and realistic feeling way. If you like the films mentioned above or maybe something like City of God, I can't recommend this enough. Absolutely brilliant film. 9.5/10 Inbetweeners Pretty good. Wee bit hit and miss at times but still had its moments. Was almost expecting a disapointing Kevin and Perry 2 but was much better than that. Think I might appreciate it more watching it back on DVD. Oh and yes, the cinema was full of eejits

Definately. Would have been so disappointing to end on a big set-piece dramatic moment. That line concluded the story perfectly. Just looked up the film further and the lead actor Ulrich Muehe died not long after this . Had genuinely never heard of him before but what an actor. Pulls of the whole silent intense type character that so many others have failed to do.

Looked on here for some inspiration for a film to watch and checked this out. Absolutely brilliant. The courtroom scene with the stuttering defence lawyer was particularly good. So good infact that if you watch carefully you can see Pesci and the other cast members pishing themselves laughing in the background The Lives of Others Story of a Stasi agent in East Germany who is assigned to monitor a writer and his actress bird but becomes too attached to the people he's stalking. Really good film and a great performance from the leading actor. Also has one of the best ending lines I have seen in a long time but I'll leave that for anyone who ends up seeing it. 8/10

I regularly check iPlayer and discover a gem of a film I would never have heard of. Usually they'll have four or five pieces of shite and a wee beauty that was probably shown at 2am on a Saturday. Adam and Paul (2004) Basically a little like James Joyce's Ulysses in that its a series of vignettes with the main character(s) travelling around Dublin over the space of one day, except this is about a pair of wee junkies. Funny and sad in equal measure, I really enjoyed it. One scene in particular had me in hoots. These two pikeys with blood on their face and ripped up clothes get into a conversation with this debonair Bulgarian chap on a bench beside the Liffey. When the particularly stupid and trampy one finds out the dude is Bulgarian, he takes pity on him and proceeds to tell him how much of a shithole his country is compared to Dublin. The interchange is quality. By the way, The Room is absolutely magnificent. As soon as the titles popped up with the 'Wiseau films' logo and that horrendous music, I knew was watching special. Wiseau's mystique and air of mystery is quite unusual. I really genuinely want to know his story (like how did he have $6million quid) and whether he was taking the piss or not. I'd love to meet the man.
