Actually managed to sit and watch that last night,
not bad,he dies at the end...
I watched 'In Bruges' last night.. brilliant hammy comedy gangster performances from Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes and the other bloke.

Starring 'Rob Gretton' no less!
That is a brilliant, but facking horrible film ... horrible if you've done a lot of drugs in your time and been in some very bad places. I felt for those lads. 
Don't think I could sit down and watch that again.
Film4 @ 11.00pm tonight - Lady V for Vengence (Korean, but don't let that put you off) Part of a loose trilogy (Oldboy n summat i forget) but don't worry if you ain't seen the others. Well worth a watch.

Me and JG did the premiere of the new Irvine Welsh tonight. Your Onemickjones lot were there en masse.
Very funny (but very British) fillum.
Your mate with the red ringlets is a bit fit too, ain't she?

Wish they'd hurry up and film PORNO,only Danny Boyle thinks that Messers McGregor and Carlyle look far too healthy to appear in the film version of the Trainspotting sequel.
Here's one..SEXY BEAST. The thought of Ben Kingsley as a feared villain
but when he appears on screen,even the viewer feels intimidated by him.
"You're doing the job.....YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!"
Just watched 'Eden Lake', which is a sort of British 'Deliverance', and a cut above any other Brit horror film I've seen for a while.
It is a nasty film, with some strong acting in it, and not one for the faint-hearted. But it leaves you thinking. Hug a hoodie.

Watched that a while back.
Good film,and those lads deserved it from Rob,who did a proper number on them. He was only sorting them out because they came the cunt with his retarded brother,and they were a bunch of bullies anyhow..Particularly the ringleader played by Gary Stretch,who if anyone remembers got stretched by Cwithh Eubank when they met in the ring some years back..Stretch was a real glamour boy,but a decent fighter,and a British Champion for a while...'Beauty and the Best' it was billed as when he fought Cwithh,or something like that..He lost to Eubank in 8 if memory serves.. My bruv had a light spar and some photos with him in Thailand,and said he was a smashing fella. I'm surprised he has'nt done more films because he looks to be a decent actor.
Edit:
Just checked on Imdb.com and he's actually done a shit-load of movies,with 2 in production for 2009....I'll hazzard a guess he plays baddies in most,if not all of them..I like him.I'm going to download some of his work.

I have just watched this and can honestly say it's one of the best British films I've seen. I have to say, I'm quite disturbed by it. I've bitten half my nail varnish off. I bet I have a nightmare tonight.

Yup.. i put that up when i was a bit affected by it, having just watched it. It is a mighty film, but if you just watch the first half hour, it looks kinda run of the mill. Certainly the best film I've seen this year, by a mile.

Watched this last night. Fcuk me, just how nasty?
Excellent film, hadn't heard of it before Bert mentioned it.
Am I alone in thinking the fella in the couple was an uttercock though? Couldn't feel any compassion for him whatsoever.

Agreed, was saying at the time, 'I hope he hurries up, and cops it'. Might have been deliberate casting or miscasting though. Another good thing about this film is that it is the first major film by a new director (cant remember his name), who appears to have a bright future in dark films.
Took my stepson to see VALKYRIE the other day.Bit distracting seeing Mr Cruise (German) speaking in an American accent....but had a laugh with him after,saying you can't have a German in a film unless he's talking in a fluent English accent. After a few minutes,you accept it for what it is,a gripping thriller no less tainted by the knowledge that you know Hitler's gonna do himself in. Quite surprised that the (15th) assasination plot was not just a "bomb-in-a-bag" but an attempt to use Hitler's reserve army "Operation Valkyrie" in a coup. And Tom Cruise's character's wife only died 3 years ago.

Planning on seeing this movie this weekend, dunno what to expect but i'm sure it will be an n-joyable one (well i hope).
Saw Frost/Nixon a couple of weekends ago and it's an excellent film. Teeters between a docu-drama and a portrait of a flawed president trying to bullshit his way out of Watergate.
Langella is superb - if a little too tall - as Nixon and should definitely win the Oscar over Pitt who's lets face it, hardly an actor of the same calibre. Plus I had no idea David Frost was such a playboy back in the day. I found it difficult to reconcile his 70s image with the "Sir" we have today but different eras I suppose.
Through the keyhole indeed
