Saw Hangover II today. Not too bad I thought. It's basically the original with a slightly different script - pretty much what I expected - same/similar jokes, story line etc.

Not too bad, It's not as good as the original I thought, but I think that's because the Original was such a shock and surprise to everyone, that it worked so perfectly. I think everyone is a bit worried that II would be a failure. It hasn't - but I hope they don't make a third, that will definitely kill it.

I've also bought The Hurt Locker, which i'm really looking forward to seeing, I also picked up Pelham 123 - and Public enemy.

Definitely think the original traded off the crass nature of its jokes and confrontational humour. The second went some way to killing the humour in that. But I have to say, I'll never get tired of seeing a guy with a severed finger up his nose.

That aside, I definitely agree that there is no need for a third one and a third one will definitely destroy it.

I have such a boner for myself in dis movies I am in.

screams 'gimme an oscar'

Can confirm the alternate ending of 127 Hours is better than the original ending. Dammit Danny Boyle

Im much more of a TV series man but I do love my movies, not trying to be cultured and pretentious like you say but I'm really just too lazy to actually give rankings to these films so I'm just going to list 10 of my favourite films.

The Boondock Saints
Children of Men
City of God
Green Street Hooligans
Gladiator
Anchorman
American History X
Apocalypse Now
Harry Potter series
Football Factory

Boondock Saints is the hands down winner for me though, its just an absolute classic and one of the few I can just keep watching and appreciating. Harry Potter movies aren't anything special but I'm a huge fan of the books and I think the films do them justice and provide some simple entertainment which is all you want.

25 minute short film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts who works for Funny or Die Presents: Written by and also stars TJ Miller (Hud from Cloverfield) and stars someone else who you've probably heard of by now.....

Saw 2 chick flicks at my girlfriends house today. Can't actually tell you what I saw, because I fell asleep in both of them.

I believe the second one was No Strings Attatched. From what I did see of it, before I started dreaming of better things, It was OK. There's a poor-mans lesbian scene in it with Drew Barrymore in it.

Natalie Portman is pretty hot in it I admitt. Ashton Kutcher made me want to vomit, and then consume it as if it were a tasty and juicy steak.

01. Fight Club
02. The Maltese Falcon
03. Pulp Fiction
04. Bowling For Columbine
05. Planet of The Apes
06. Von Ryans Express
07. Singing in the Rain
08. Almost Famous
09. Good Bye Lennon
10. Full Metal Jacket

Honourable mentions
Any George A Romero Zombie Feature, all the stories are actually about the decay of human society.
Empire Strikes back, the best of the originals
Rio Bravo, John Wayne, Ricki Nelson and Dean Martin in one of my favourite Westerns
The Guns of Navarro
Austin Powers International Man of Mistery
Equilibrium
Young Guns
Scott Pillgrim Vs the World One of the best modern films
Youth in Revolt- Weird but wonderful.

I could go on and on but thats my top ten this week and those that missed out by a few voting points.

Loving the Austin Powers honorable mention

Fell asleep watching Layer Cake last night and ended up having to re watch the final 20 minutes about three times until my sleep dazed brain could take it in, decent film though, pretty similar feel to Guy Ritchie's films. Sienna Miller is looking very fit in her appearances and Craig does a pretty dent job

Layer Cake is 1st class

The ending is well fit and perfect. if you watch the alternates you'll see that they made the right choice. Very similar to a Ritchie film, only thing missing was Vinnie Jones.

+1 on the L4YERCAKE & Sienna Miller mentions

Anyone seen/heard anything about Transformers?? I think I'm going to it on Sunday (if the guy who invited me isn't stll sick :( )

I hear it has explosions

Yay :D

Michael Bay

Michael Bay killed the series. I look back and am shocked he did as good a job as he did with the first one. Yet, I will still see it because I have grown up with Transformers.

I can't wait until Transf4rmers.

Post of the week.

Yesman is on.
\:d/

You liked the first one?

All Michael Bay movies are a massive pile of AIDS.

+1

They were good for a fap-fest over Megan Fox.

Wouldn't it be 'Trans4mers'?

Either way, it'll be terrible.

you really are turning into an irritable grammar nazi at times

Saw Transformers today, personally I like it. Plenty of explosions and fighting, and had much more of a storyline than the last one. Also, the new girl is much much hotter than Megan Fox.
