    "The Neverending Story"

    Pipped to the post. Feck ya, Javaboy. That's what I was thinking.:)


    'A Few Good Men' - really? where? And since when is Demi a dude?

    'Weekend at Bernies' - nothing but nothing can prepare you for the fact that Bernie's friends are necrophiles and Bernie was a gonner days ago.

    'Burn After Reading'. Should have been called 'Burn Before Screening'. Pile of crap!

    Reservoir Dogs. Neither pooch nor water storage in sight.

    'Everything you wanted to know about sex and were afraid to ask' starring Woody Allen. I watched that film lots of times and still haven't learned anything.

    Tears of the Sun. Bruce Willis movie, i dont think the Sun sobbed or quivered its lower lip.

    A bit of movie trivia: Bruce was trying to make a movie with this title for years. He was at one point refusing to do Die Hard 4 unless it was called Die Hard: Tears of the Sun

    Die Hard - sounds like it should be a movie about death while on the job.

    Silent Hill,
    The English Patient,
    Layer Cake.

    Things to do in Denver when you're dead. Andy Garcia was very much alive throughout the film.

    Babe.

    I'd disagree. I'd totally pork that!

    Babe.


    It was very hammy I felt.

    Never Ending Story - only about 90 minutes long

    I hate sequels. :mad:

    My wife and her chick-flick / chick-lit friends went to see True Romance based on its title.

    Wolf Creek


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    Might I advise you to skip the sequel which is meant to be called "The Brazillian Job"

    Aye, I saw that. I swear Mark Wahlberg is making the worst movie choices ever.

    Also,
    On November 16, 2008 Mark Wahlberg stated whilst appearing on the BBC show Top Gear that a sequel was very unlikely due to script problems. He also stated that he did not want to ruin an original British film.

    Bit late for that.

    The Happening - I was expecting something to happen.

    DEBS - Not about a 6th year dance

    Ginger Snaps - Wasn't about biscuits

    Elephant - Not a single trunk in sight

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Just in general really :)

    Midnight Express - At least he admits in the film that it's not about a train :mad:

    "quantum of solace" could be interpreted as a measure of time to console oneself and get over something

    12 Angry Men: Juror number two was a wimp and Henry Fonda's character was calmness personified. Ridiculous title.
