Is it good?

I watched it because my gf wanted to see it and with Timberlake being the main character and the "bad guy" an actor I hate (Cillian Murphy) I was incredibly surprised that I enjoyed it. Good film.

I watched "Kill The Irishman" for a second time on saturday night.. that film is brilliant. Anyone seen?

I went to watch Kill The Irishman but then I saw Vinnie Jones and done the movie equivalent of a rage quit.

I turned the TV off. I can only stand him in Snatch and Lock Stock.

'Clerks'.
Very low budget and some moments of the scenes are stupid however, most of the dialogue was really funny and natural.
Really enjoyed it.
8/10

Watched the Senna documentary a few days ago. 8/10 - It's pretty enjoyable, even to people like me who have no interest in car racing what so ever.

'The Silence of the Lambs'.
9/10
One of the best films I have ever seen.
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster were brilliant.

Must see.

Going to watch Senna tomorrow, recording it tonight

Watched Fast Five tonight though, which was actually really good surprisingly, much better than I expected. The story all came together good at the end, and the way they did it was quite clever, nice cars, couple of nice girls, decent music, good fights. All round enjoyable film. 9/10

Watched the documentary 'Once in a lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of The New York Cosmos.' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489247/ 9/10.

Documentary which looks at the rise and fall of the NY Cosmos in the 70s and early 80s. Starting with the purchase of the franchise by Davis Ross of Warner, through the signing of Pele. which brought mass interest to the league, which then led to more world famous names such as The Kaiser, George Best and Johan Cruyff to the NASL. Cosmos themselves also were regularly getting 70k+ home attendances which seems quite incredible for a country where soccer was less than nothing before Pele. Spoiler alert, things do eventually go tits up.

The documentary itself was well made and presented with many different people being interviewed. Almost everyone important who was involved with the Cosmos gives their view including the likes of Beckenbauer. David Ross isn't interviewed as he is pan bread; and Pele declined to appear as he was probably too busy advertising viagra.

On the whole it is well put together with excellent production and a good soundtrack. It is a fascinating story and this tells it as well as anyone can.

The hunger games: was good, would watch it again on tv. Though didn't like the end

You should watch Clerks 2. It's funnier.

Yeah I saw it last night and kind of thought the same thing. The movie was good and definitely worth watching, but I thought the end was a bit inconclusive. I suppose it's one of those movies that you're supposed to formulate your own conclusion.

Watched Avatar yesterday for the first time.

Really enjoyed it, reminded me of being small watching FernGully.

I watched Oldboy for the first time today. Mind was blown. Sublime film.

A Dangerous Method 9/10

Fassbender and Mortensen

I watched it today and I think the ending was more left for a sequel tbh. There was a lot of things they introduced but didn't really explore.

Kick Ass 8/10.

Good movie.

Yeah I never knew there were more books and there is supposed to be more movies. That makes sense now. But what are the sequels about?

I'm going to see it tomorrow. Hope it's worth the cash.
