I saw it with work people, you haven't seen it yet.
But it may put you to sleep.

Well after, decades of watching movies, I absolutely recommend a recent release "Warrior' the local Lads at our Video store have been telling me I must watch this movie, their pick of the year.

So tonight the teenage daughters were out, wife distracted, I'm buggered from work, seriously knocking back the wine-o, so gave in and took it home. What Rocky did in the 1980s to say boxing movies can be worth watching, Warrior takes it up mega fold.

I have liked Nick Nolte throughout his career but tonight he excelled. Only a supporting role but this movie is absolutely the bees knees in emotional drama, action and total WOW! Blown away, must tell the guys at the shop.. well done. Leaped to one of my all time most enjoyable movies

In case you are lost it's about two troubled brothers, their horrible upbringing by a drunk Father/fighter trainer and caged ring fighting, but the story is much more than the fighting. Please give it a chance, watch it! Enjoy!
ps- I'm pissed and have spented more time checking my typing than typing

Requiem For A Dream (2000)

Fuck me. I loved this movie when I first saw it, and watching it again was like taking a big gob full of drugs - you get nervous as hell about how it's going to make you feel, but you're pretty sure it'll be intense.

I'm not even going to review it because I can't. But if you want a heavy but awesome movie then check this out if you haven't already.

8.5 on the IMDB scale (Top # 65 movie).

Do it.

Funny because most people who love that movie I have similar taste to, but I just cant love it....I understand its a horrifying/shocking movie and it really makes you feel that way so its done well but just made a little depressed to be honest

I'm with Pete: I thought DRIVE was one of the best films I saw all last year. I really liked Carey Mulligan in it, too: she was excellent.

They got the mood (very noir-ish) of a lot of the 70's films I love absolutely right: DRIVE is a future classic I think.

Love love loved drive!!

I dunno what it was but loved it
Ryan Gosling was incredible in his part... convincing and little scary, the quiet ones are always the scariest!
9/10

The Whistleblower



It was good.....pretty much exactly what you expect though
Rachel Weisz is hot

The Double

I enjoyed it at the time but I think back and don't think it was that good I have just been deprived of good movies!


6/10

we rented LEON at the weekend: saw it at the pictures when it came out. Still amazingly good, and there was a lot of stuff in it I had forgotten. Natalie Portman's best ever role, and Jean Reno doing what he does: this is the basis of a lot of the great 90's action films (RONIN, particularly). and of course he was in the only really watchable MISSION IMPOSSIBLE reboot. And of course Besson wrote TAKEN.

anyway 10/10.
