    Picking a movie to watch...


    Only rule is no dramas, just recent enough and entertaining enough to keep me awake.

    Going for a CIGARETTE now, any suggestions would be brilliant, thanks.

    I enjoyed it too.

    Problem was, they kinda marketed it as a Laugh Out Loud comedy, ehich it wasnt. So those who went to see it were disappointed.

    Not me though. Incredible to think its a true story!

    This may sound weird, but I go the cinema around six or seven times a week.

    Lighthouse, IFI, Screen and whatever's new @ Cineworld.

    And believe it or not, I haven't seen a trailer for a movie in near 15 years.

    I never read adverts or films magazines.

    I do however watch trailers and Film 2010 etc AFTER I've seen a film and I can't believe the stuff they give away.

    They literally show the best and funniest / most important parts of films.

    Which is why I stopped, but now it's even worse.

    Yeah, mad that it's a true story.

    You're right, it does sound weird, 7 times a week, man that's alot, must be expensive enough!!

    And how do you avoid the trailers at the start of the movies?

    Good plan avoiding them I think though, tbh.

    Well, Cineworld card so that's three of them usually.

    Maybe two of them on the one day.

    IFI will usually have a two a week, Screen one and Lighthouse one.

    I just love films.

    I always go in when there is just two or three minutes of ads left.

    During that time I will just surf listen to MP3s, send a text or check emails.

    TV is the hardest place to avoid them.

    Knight and Day must have been shown a thousand times the past few weeks .. so I seen the first twenty seconds many times :p

    Of the films I've seen recently, the best ones have been;


    - "Defendor" with Woody Allen a pretty good 'black' comedy.

    - "The Good, The Bad & The Weird" is excellent - a spaghetti western comedy set in Manchuria

    - "Nowhere Boy" is a very charming account of John Lennon's teenager years. A kind of coming of age, kitchen sink tale (much better than it sounds).

    - "The Ghost Writer" with Ewan McGregor & Pierce Brosnan. One of Polanski's better movies of recent years.

    - "Sherlock Holmes" is Guy Ritchie's very entertaining take on the legendendary fictional character

    "Broken Embraces" - another Amoldovar classic

    - and "A Prophet" as someone mentioned earlier

    The worst ones I've seen recently were "Shutter Island", "Inception" & "Avatar".

    I was beginning to think there was something with me for thinking that film was brutal.

    It was complete drivel. Even worse than The Matrix, if that's possible.

    Bugger - I meant to say Woody Harrellson, not Woody Allen.
