Wow.

I think red dragon is great, especially feines. Not seeing any cliches either

You obviously have disadvantages

I love man hunter too, even if it’s a little dated with the score etc.

I watched Oblivion last night (the Tom Cruise sci-fi vehicle thing), which is currently available on Amazon Prime.

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it was beautifully shot and had some nice aesthetics. On the other hand, the plot was rather thin and cheesy, and also unrealistic (The plan to destroy the alien space ship was laughable, and had so many unnecessary opportunities for failure).

Overall, it was ok.

6 drones out of 10 clones.
I watched this a while ago and felt pretty much the same. Looked great, but didn't pay off!

Score was awesome

Plus you got to play the sulky victoria or Julia game

If you pick Julia how about 10 clones of Victoria vs 1 Julia etc.

It's on Film4 quite often and I always enjoy it.

Yeah, I love Red Dragon, think it's ace and will always watch it when it's on.
Don't have too much of a recollection of manhunter, but I'd be willing to watch it again if it was on.

Calm down.
I guess you didn’t pay too much attention to the film it’s a quote from it.

When’s he’s talking to HL

Take Shelter (2011)

Ohio Chap, following a series of terrifying dreams, looks to protect his family from the apocalyptical danger.

Saw this mentioned on a Mark Kermode piece on recently. Thought it was excellent with Michael Shannon (again) quality in the lead - superb actor.

Great cinematography & genuinely unsettling in places.

I was saying it as a joke as it’s a direct quote ( or at least close enough) to the film you were talking about. That is quite an important scene in the film and it popes in my head. HL says your obviously think your cleverer than me because you caught me he says no you have disadvantages.

I have no idea what you mean by affect I don’t care that you didn’t like it that’s all good.

I do like like it.



Many people like different things I’m not one of those that gives a st.

Lighten up Francis.

Reminds me of the time I was discussing The Princess Bride with someone, and remarked "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means" and they got right narked at me. hehe

It's one of my favourite films, so I am biased, but I would thoroughly recommend it.

Is it better than Space Jam?
