Identity (2003)
Quite a clever flick I thought. I'd seen bits and the ending before. But seeing the whole thing was definitely worth while. I recommend this one.

In the process of watching Focus with Meat

I'm a bit of an SK fan, I must confess, and on the whole the novels are better than the films - it's the thing about no-one being able to see it the way you do in your imagination - there are a few that are best avoided tho', The Tommyknockers and The Langoliers to name two, and a few more that have nothing to do with the films they became, The Lawnmower Man being one notable one! The Green Mile and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption both come highly recommended... Oh, and The Dark Tower series is well worth a look, gets a bit weird in the middle, but the ending's worth it...

I loved this film.... but I'm a bit of a sucker for John Cusack, and anything with a smattering of a twist in it.... Have you ever read the IMDB.com trivia notes on it? Specifically the last one, with the spoiler warning? How I'd love to have seen the look on her face... snigger snigger....

Christine is a really good film but the book is brilliant my favourite Stephen King book!!

Hypnobabe · 13 Sep 2008, 01:06

First SK film I ever saw, and the whole reason I got into reading his books... the second was Carrie... and I was only about 13 or so at the time...

AndrewG · 13 Sep 2008, 03:32

Unforgiven (1992).
Great film. Eastwood and Hackman are flawless. Long time no see this film and the first western I've watched on Blu Ray. Superb quality. Honestly thought I had wasted money when I bought the PS3. How wrong I was. Best movie experiences ever in the last few weeks.

Currently watching Vanilla Sky - it's a bit odd...

MeatGrl1 · 14 Sep 2008, 06:32

It was a really good movie, sad in parts.
Now I need to read the book

!

Was very ill yesterday so all I could was watching TV while falling asleep on and off...so watched I think more movies than in the last couple of month...I think the last one was Transformers...much better than I've expected it to be...

The end of National Treasure, followed by Sleepy Hollow... mmmmm.... Johnny Depp.....

MeatGrl1 · 15 Sep 2008, 04:39

Legend Of The Fall with Brad Pitt, Aidrien Quinn and Antony Hopkins

It was a very good movie but also very sad in parts.

Hypnobabe · 15 Sep 2008, 23:51

Currently watching Elizabeth, soon to be followed by Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Ghost Rider
Not fantastic but watchable, mainly 'cause I was drooling over some of the gorgeous motorbikes in it!

National Treasure
Really enjoyed it. Can't decide whether I like this one or the second one more though.

Mr and Mrs Smith - Brad Pitt with a dodgy haircut!

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - great film by Robert Aldrich with Bette Davis playing one of her best roles.

Matrix trilogy

AndrewG · 19 Sep 2008, 23:22

Tropic Thunder.

I was looking forward to this one. Thought it was really weird and not really funny most of the time. Some amazing action though. They should have made a normal Vietnam movie, without the stupid story and just some jokes. It takes the piss out of Platoon, Apocalypse Now and a bunch of other Vietnam movies, all of which are far more entertaining to watch in my opinion.

*SPOILER (look away now): Tom Cruise is badly cast imo. Also one of the weakest roles I've seen Jack Black do.

Useless waste of money, really. Should have stayed home. Doubt I would go and see another Ben Stiller directed movie in the cinema.

No doubt Jack Black will be plugging this movie later on Jonathan Ross tonight, and the big fake Ross as he is will be agreeing with him that it is a great movie. Sigh.

I can't believe this movie cost $92 million to make. I really think they should have made a more serious film with that kind of money instead of a comedy like this. The high rating on imdb and reviews "best comedy in years" is something I really don't get. Hot Fuzz for example was a much, MUCH better Hollywood spoof film than this in my opinion. Why do the biggest comedy stars in the USA make so many unfunny films is my question here? (Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and now Jack Black

)

Don't get me wrong, this is not the worst comedy I've seen (that prize may have to go to Superbad or other forgettable teen trash) but this was a disappointment I thought.

Some movies, I saw trailers for and I think are going to be quite interesting are: Death Race and The Day The Earth Stood Still

Anyway, I was asked to give my opinion of the movie - Tropic Thunder.

Movies are expensive here...so if they are also expensive over there...this movie is for DVD watchers...all I can say is...it had a potential to be a good movie...

It is still worth watching for 2 reasons: Robert Downey Jr. and (I thought I would never utter these two words in my life but here it is...) Tom Cruise...

And thus spake Zee...

Oh Andrew...if only you've listened...LOL...I did like Tom Cruise...the whole thing was an inside joke and that was probably the only funny thing about the movie...
