    Managed to stay awake long enough (I am real tired by the weekends) to watch "Miami Vice". Have to say that it was a real let down, hardly no action at all apart from the shoot out at the end, I think it could have been so much better! My wife fell asleep during it!!
    Going to see "Casino Royale" this afternoon, I know that it has rave reviews but I do not think that this new dude who plays bond is up to the mark. Prefer Moore/Connery and lastly Brosnan.

    Well, went and saw "Casino Royale" and I would say its not that bad. Without giving away to much of the plot its starts pretty well (action wise) but if you are looking for car chases etc and lots of shoot outs it could be dissapointing. There are no plans for world domination in this movie (unlike many Bonds) but there is plenty of suspense.As to Daniel Craig he plays the part well but as far as I am concerned he is just not suave enough to be Bond, but thats what I think the makers wanted. Go and see it!

    done and done

    i did see Borat and it didnt disappoint.funniest film ive seen in years.one scene in particular had me,along with the whole cinema in stitches for 10 minutes straight.my ribs were killing me after.those that have seen it will know what scene im talking about but i wont say what it is because its funnier if you dont expect it.
    yeah,but that score is very inflated due to the thousands upon thousands of kids who see a film,really like it and automatically give it a ten and all the people who are determined to get the latest film that they saw and liked into the Top 250.

    Click took me by surprise.i didnt expect it to be half as good as it was.

    yeah,i have the same feelings about him.i really liked him in Layer Cake but i cant see him in the role of Bond.but then again,i said ther same thing about Moore and Brosnan and then warmed to them later on so i guess time will tell.

    Hi,

    Anyone know what the title of the theme song of Miami Vice the Movie? The song that is played when the trailer is shown. Im having a tough time locating it.

    Please let me know.

    Much appreciated.

    Jay-Z Ft Linkin Park - Numb/Encore (I think that's the one your talking about). Had it ages ago, was actually surprised to see them use a Jay-Z song... :p

    Went to see Eragon this afternoon! Can't see what all the hype is about frankly, my 16yr old enjoyed it (otherwise would not have gone). I think that the 'problem' with it was that the boy who plays 'arrogant' seems to think that he is the golden child!He thinks (or doesn't) that he can do anything and seems to put precious little thought into anthing he does (for those that have seen it I refer to the castle scene) and then needs to be helped othewrwise he would not have succeded. Jeromy Irons plays a convincing part, the effects arn't bad, storyline is ok, it just fails in my book due to 'arrogant'. INMHO Willow & Labrynth were much better movies with more likeable characters.

    Also saw a trailer whilst there for a movie called Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage, now that looks interesting http://imdb.com/title/tt0259324/ comes out in 07

    No worries, I did not know until I looked around that it was a comic book character (I must have had a sheltered childhood I guess!!). I used to buy spiderman myself but funnily enough I have not seen any of the movies, must be my age LOL!

    Jet Li's Fearless: Awesome movie. A little screwy by starting out in 1910,then going back to 1880. Lots of great kung fu fight scenes.

    I'm too poor to go to the theater's, LOL..

    My 3 month old Kinzie's favorite flick is The Ant Bully. She's watched it half a dozen times. A very funning movie and I don't watch too many flicks below the R rating, LOL

    I got a hold of a dvd that was converted from bit-torrents: Casino Royale. What a waste. It's like watching a 1-dimentional movie with the special effects of 1970's budget flick, LOL

    I'll wait till the dvd comes out to watch it again. I'm sure it'll be 10 times better than that bogus copy that I watched, LOL

    Seeing all the movies that are being re-filmed again,here's a list of some movies I'd love to see newer versions of:

    Food of the gods-entire set
    Phantasm-entire set
    Prophecy-the one about the mutated bears,not christopher walken, LOL
    It's alive-entire set.

    Havent been to movies for 2 years
    there is nothing like watching a action flick
    on the big screen.
    my car was being serviced so I took the chance.
    The new bond will have take time to develop his own
    character style.like sean, roger,Pieace,the other 2 we wont mention
    I should have watched Casino Royal.Before Layer Cake.IMO
    he was wimpish in LC.
    BIGGEST disapointment no Q departement no bond special GADGETS.
    maybe next time .

    Just got a copy of After The Rain which has Paul Bettany in it. He plays a monk in The Davinci Code so it will be interesting to see how he does in this one. Also bought the Narnia 4 disc set as I am a big fan.

    Blockbuster and HMV have a big sale going on right now so i decided to treat myself to a bunch of dvds for christmas.i got:

    Blow (2001) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221027/ with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz which was a cracking film.Depp shines as always.

    Cape Fear (1991) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101540/ which i'd heard was the worst of the Scorsese DeNiro duo which i happen to agree with but i thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

    Erin Brockovich (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195685/ the film that turned me into a Julia Roberts fan and ive been meaning to get it for a while.

    Harvey (1950) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042546/ which ive been meaning to see for a while being a big James Stewart fan

    Vertigo (1958) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052357/ and Rear Window (1954) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047396/ not a huge fan of Hitchcock but these are 2 of my favs from him

    Anatomy Of A Murder (1959) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052561/ possibly my fav from the great James Stewart

    im also considering going to Tesco on Boxing Day to pick up Road To Perdition,Malcolm X and Donnie Brasco,none of which i have seen but all of which ive heard good things about.

    Dude, I just found out that there is a DRAGONLANCE movie that is nearing its final production. I used to read that book series when I was in High School and I always wondered why no one made a movie out of it. Keifer Sutherland and Michelle Trachtenberg (that really hot chick from Eurotrip) are just two of the voice roles. Info is here:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825245/

    I think this could be better then the LOTR trilogy since in my non-expert opinion the story was a lot deeper. Dang, I think I might just go and get some of those old books I used to read for some nostalgia.
