Yes and what I'm saying is that I agree with you but the only reason I didn't watch it was because I was tired, I'll probably watch it some other time.

Just watched The Condemned. Surprisingly decent and more than just entertaining.

Saw There Will Be Blood last night, was pretty good, nothing amazing though.

You can expect some steamy scenes as it's directed by Verhoeven, who also directed Basic Instinct .... Zwartboek will probably rank as his best work so far

Saw The Kingdom, very solid film, though the opening credits/history lesson was so good the rest of the film really couldn't stand up to it.

GJOAC.
What does that mean?

Watched Godfather 1 last night. Thought it was good but overated. When ever you say "mafia films" to someone on most they'll think of The Godfather. But Goodfellas is definitely better imo.

Go jump off a cliff. Couldn't be arsed typing it out at the time, yet I can now, plus this sentence explaining it. Oh the ironies of life.

It was like the 47th time I've watched it.

Watched Leon for the first time this evening, great movie with Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.

Josh · 31-03-2008, 07:26 AM

Been ordered to see The Butterfly Effect. Always remembered seeing trailers and thinking it'd be cool, but never seen it... will be tomorrow night!

Nnanden · 31-03-2008, 07:32 AM

I heart it.

Nnanden · 01-04-2008, 06:48 AM

Watching Little Miss Sunshine after never thinking it would appeal to me. Loving it.
