Craptin Spamerica and The Winter Soldier: 8/10. Good action movie and not a shit story. Waste of money in 3D.

THE RAID: REDEMPTION

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1899353/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

One of the better action movies I have seen. Incredible intense martial arts shoot em up. The plot is pretty much the same as the Karl Urban DREDD, and they're about the same time. Totally worthwhile. 9/10. If boobs: 10/10 but 1 point deduction for none.

Full on.

The Bridge

Not a movie but a TV series. Could have run on Sky or something but don't pay for TV so don't know about that. We are currently watching the DVD set containing the 10 episodes. On loan from a mate who recommended it.

Three episodes in so far and despite it being Scandanavian (Swedish/Danish) with English subtitles we are thoroughly enjoying what is developing into a complex and well acted drama. Well worth watching, and I note there is also a second season available (streamed).

There is also a US version but not as well done AFAIK.

There was another tv series "the bridge" but that was mexico/usa. And that was based on a british/French series "the tunnel".

Does this one start with a body straddling the border between the two countries?

Sure does, but with an additional twist

The Scandinavian series (2011) is the original version. There was a second series made in 2013 and apparently another is currently being made.

According to the internetz, you're looking for a movie called Crossing Over. Don't let me know how you got on.

Prob bit late but saw Lone Survivor with Mark Wahlberg at Wellywood cinema recently.
Great action flick and not to full of military PR lies like these films normally are.
Seemed a pretty well done accurate account of a true story.
The action and shootout goes for ages, the sound in theatre was mind blowing, glad I sat in centre of theatre.
Be a damn good DVD to annoy the neighbours with

Watch this film for tits, arse and pussy. Only scary bit is that the main deranged nurse could be a twin for one of my ex's! She was hot as fuck too, and nearly as mental.

Dallas Buyers Club.
I expected a movie a bit like Philadelphia
No. Really enjoyed it and this is probably mostly due to the fantastic acting by Matthew Mcconaughey (who looked like shit) and Jared Leto (who looked even shitter..... so not the reason I liked this movie...)
Well worth a watch!
8/10

It's about a child protection unit in Paris...one of the best films I've seen in fucking years. Well worth the watch.

okay. So i did.
Very indie. Well done in terms of scope and lack of bias. Bit discombobulated but still coherent. As to best movie? No. One that im not entirely sorry to have spent time watching, but unlikely to get a repeat, nor discussed at my coffee group. AA, that is.

*Contracted*. Quite liked it despite it's shallow story lines etc. Just don't make the mistake I did and watch it whilst trying to eat your dinner.

I read the biography of this evil dude years ago and he was one disturbing mass murderer. I thought at the time, why the hell has this not been made into a movie? Well it turns out it was last year and I stumbled onto it at the Vid store last week. FBI reckoned he had killed over a 100 people. He admitted in jail they were way short.

It's one of those stories where a movie can't do it justice but Michael Shannon in the lead role did a good job of being one big scary monster. Interestingly small parts played by James Franco and Chris Evans. I'm guessing they've read the book and said, shit yeah I want to be a part of that story. Shame the movie left out some of the most dramatic moments in the book for me anyway. One being where he was paid to make someone suffer as they died, so he chained him naked in a cave with rats he had 'prepared' and time lapsed filmed it over a period of days it took for him to be eaten.

Not the greatest movie ever but worthwhile for the tense drama.
