Watched The Road last night. Defo recommend it, great flick. Surprised it was so enjoyable considering how dark and desolate the whole thing is. Viggo Mortensen will be up for an Oscar nomination.

I thought it was a snorefest. great acting, but about as dull as could be.

[sifi]

It does look a bit meaty for me at the Cinema, I have to say. I've not read that particular book, but have read others by him, like Child of God, and that was bleak and provoked fears of isolation, which I'm guessing the Road does too.

So it'll be a DVD thang when it happens for me

[t8yman]

Thats what I was expecting but it kept me interested throughout, and I usually dont like those sort of films, all drama and slow moving shite. Maybe I was just in the right mood for it.

[sifi]

It held me, I just kept thinking - is this all we are getting? a story about a father - son relationship? where nothing much happens? "Life is beautiful" did a far better job of a father protecting his son.

Saw 'Up In The Air' last night. Great piece of subtle filmmaking, Clooney is excellent.

Jason (?) Reitman is making a bit of a name for himself, though personally I preferred Juno.

That film has my beloved in tears every time. The bit at the end specifically.

Clooney is excellent.

[Steve P]

"thankyou for smoking" was excellent aswell.

Clooney is a cock. He spouts off about this and that and then makes adverts for Nestlé. Tosser.

After too much over exertion with sledging and snowball fighting, I took a grand rest on Sunday and finally got around to watching Sixth Sense. Managed to avoid knowing the 'twist' until a few weeks ago on a comedy show when some bloke blurted it out but reckon I would have figured it out anyway...just a little too obvious!

Also watched I Am Legend, very good until the not very good and annoying ending. Could have done with being at least 20 minutes longer. But as post apocalyptic futures go it was brilliant.

Oh and watched Transformers 2 on the smallest telly last week. Better than the first but totally bonkers, horrific script and cinematography and needed to watch it with subtitles cos they spoke way too fast in the loud bits.

Saw 'A Prophet' last night. Very impressive, unwatchably brutal in parts, with a sensational performance from the lead, whoever he is. It was a bit muddled though, unless I'm missing something.

[sloaney007]

Are there any films coming out this year that anyone is really looking forward to??

I saw the trailer for Ironman 2 last night on film 2010 and thought it looked pretty pants to be honest even though the cast looked pretty good. Suppose you cant judge a film by a 2 minute trailer but it seemed abit too OTT to me. I mean I havent read the comic books but a bad guy with electrical whips for arms!?!

Most Spider-Man fans and Superman fans are over the age of 20 - make the films for them! They're not kids.

[nightcrawler13]

agree with PM all the way, restart spiderman and make it a 15 at least, kids will still buy the toys whether they see it or not

cannot wait for kick ass!
