Good films I watched this weekend

[WEHGuy]

I recently watch a new French film A Prophet. The French do gritty better than anyone else

I saw that and after being pretty excited about it I was totally disappointed.
I found it unrealistic and a bit boring. The charachters weren't particularly good either.
Not awful by any means, but I couldn't understand where all the accolades came from.

I think sometimes films get so hyped that you're inevitably disappointed when you see them.

Agree completely. And the opposite is also true. SOmetimes you watch a film that is supposed to be a bit rubbish and end up loving it.

This weekend i watched
The Hurt Locker - agreed excellent movie!
Moon - very good indeed
Inglorious Basterds - over scripted rubbish, but well filmed and some good acting.

Moon, was good wasn't it, not brilliant but good

[patmahe]

Spaceballs, hadn't seen it in years and stumbled across it in the bargain bucket at the video shop. Still pretty enjoyable, in a disengage brain type of way perfect

[WildCards]

The Invasion - Too long and never really went anywhere, felt more like a TV production than a movie hit.

Yes Man - Pleasant surprise, a few subtle but very funny gags and had a decent message.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Was good, glad i've seen it but I won't watch it again. Very Forrest Gumpy.

Finally got round to Requiem for a Dream. Great film but, god, how depressing!!!

Loved it for that, makes it all the more hard hitting

We watched Inkheart.

It was great!

[hairykrishna]

I watched the original Die Hard yesterday. It's still awesome.

[andy400]

'Brighton Rock' - I'd read the book but never seen the film until now. Very, very good.

Inkheart is a little jem of a film IMO, Stardust too if you haven't seen it. My kids love both t=of them, and i'm always more than happy to watch them again with them.

Just watched Bruce Willis in "Surrogates" which I really enjoyed. Great concept. Recommended.

I downloaded that via BT Vision this weekend. Very good; a bit "I, Robot" but still very good. Bruce Willis' surrogate was quite weird to see.

I also watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" which had been sitting on my shelf still in the wrapper.

I've just seen Avatar. Similar-ish concept. Different story, I'll concede. I'd say they might be rip-offs of the same concept but Surrogates is from a comic book from 2005 I believe.
