Yeah according to IMDB it won't be released here. Oh well I'll just download it.

hasn't got a heart warming story to get people in, and the stats & philosophy will be too much for the wider audience... might be lucky and get a limited release with dendy 9 months after its US release although would have downloaded it by then

So unsurprisngly Harry Potter is breaking all sorts of records.

First it broke the opening day record grossing $92.1m, smashing the previous record of $72.7m set by Twilight: New Moon in 2009.

And now it's broken the weekend grossing record with an opening weekend of $168.6m breaking the previous record of $158m, set by The Dark Knight in 2008.

X-Men First Class was the most homo-erotic movie I have ever seen.

It was pretty cool, though.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. I'd tap that :lol:

Has anyone here seen Seven Samurai? I'm going through all the great foreign-language films and wanted a recommendation.

We watched it at school. Was decent, Scouse would be the best person to ask. I would suggest for you to watch Ran

Akira Kurosawa? He did Yojimbo as well? Sheesh I'll have to get them in at work.
I've just watched La Haine and will be watching Three Colours this week. Uni's back, so I have to feed my brain.

That may be because the actor who played Crabbe got done for cocaine, so they dropped him from the storyline.

Why drop him; that'd fit in perfectly with the storyline. :lol:

Yep, Ran is a work of Kurosawa

If you are watching foreign films, try to find a copy of La Scorta.

If there's one film I'd love to see Tarantino remake, it's this one.

I've heard City of God is good? Anyone seen it? Reccomend?

Seven Samurai is a fantastic movie. I often describe movies as being "the best" when I tell someone what I think of them, but Seven Samurai truly is the best movie ever made (IMHO). For me, it's the quickest 200 minutes I can watch as each character is so carefully crafted and the story, dialogue and action is just perfect.

Ran is also a great Kurosawa movie based on King Lear. Yojimbo is a great movie that has also been ripped off many times.

Ikiru is also considered one of Kurosawa's best films and is worth checking out (though it's much more drama than the previously mentioned ones).

Rashomon is also a classic which helped put Japanese movies on the map in the US and was part of the inspiration behind "The Usual Suspects"

As you can tell... I'm a big Kurosawa fan and own just about all of his movies on DVD.



On another note, a couple nights ago I rewatched "Infernal Affairs" - which is the Hong Kong movie that "The Departed" is based off - and I stand by my initial reaction after seeing the Hollywood remake... nowhere near as good as the original.

internal affairs is one great movie , love the other two in the series but the best is no 1
also people should look up diary of a nympho :lol: great spanish movie:lol:

What a massive pile of shit.

Why are they remaking this? How fucking pointless.

It's something to do with Sony buying the rights. It's not the same without Toby Maguire. However, Garfield is a good actor.

Saw True Grit, loved it.

The only good Maguire Spiderman was #1.

Why do you think Garfield is a good actor? I've only seen him in the Social Network, and the less said about that movie, the better.

Well, I loved the Social Network :lol:
I'm sure I've seen him in something else, can't remember what though.

Saw Harry Potter.

The end ruined it.

Needed a Hermoine and Luna sex scene tbh

Cloverfield. Farken
