[quote name='Scorz'][quote name='Razbra'][quote name='Scorz']"The Escapist" is the best film I have seen for ages. Watch it asap.[/quote]<br />
<br />
Is that the one with Joseph Fiennes and Brian Cox?[/quote]<br />
Bingo.[/quote]<br />
<br />
So its pretty good eh? Im not a big fan of Fiennes but huge fan of Cox(that sounds dodgy as but im leaving it in).<br />
<br />
I'll give it a go. Watched Bronson the other day. Massive head fuck is that one. Good in a Clockwork Orange type way.

I'll 2nd the escapist. It was a really good movie and quite unexpected. Fiennes is actually pretty good in it.

[quote name='taniwharugby'][quote name='Hooroo']Watched the suckiest movie last night. (Forgotten the name)<br />
<br />
It was a Scouse version of a Snatch/Rock n Roller/Lock Stock. It was simply terrible.<br />
<br />
Nothing worse that a movie entirely made of Scousers tring to be gangster cool! IT DOESN"T WORK!!!![/quote]<br />
<br />
I'll make sure I dont rent that one then!![/quote]<br />
<br />
Yeah, it reads ok on the cover but is just so bad.<br />
<br />
Ended up fast forwarding through bits just to see the end which was predictable and and dull. Didn't help that I had watched Rock n Roller the night before for the umpteenth time

They showed a pretty long trailer for Avatar in the Seattle NFL game on TV here today.<br />
Looks bloody good.

Fan Boys.<br />
Pretty funny. If you're a star wars fan - you'll get a kick out of it.<br />
<br />
Super fans - go to steal the script for Star Wars I ..... and the adventures they have on the way.

Yeah, the second trailer is much better. Looks like some good escapism.

Will be interesting, Revenge of the Nerds os on Comedy Central tonight at 8.30, was one of my favorite movies as a young teen.

Speaking of 2nd trailers, how much am I looking forward to the Herzog/Cage [i]Bad Lieutenant[/i] "remake." <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />

I noticed that too, recorded it to enjoy later.<br />
<br />
A defining movie for me as a teen like you said..

Absolutely farkin brilliant that movie. Worth noting is that head jock Stan is played by Ted McGinley, Al Bundys buddy in married with children. As is often the case the sequels were shit but the original is a bit of a riot.

[taniwharugby]

also the Football coach is a slim John Goodman.<br />
<br />
Not quite as hilarious as I recall, but my veiws on breast and 'bush' shots may have changed since my young teen days...

Looks like some great crazy shit!

I remember the Keitel version, but it was nothing like the Cage one above. That was a sick film.

Yep I remember that, a "nice" shot of HK standing there in the nude made me spit beer all over the room.<br />
<br />
A very odd film.....

You've just got to get into the Abel Ferrara mindset. The scene with the teenage girls and the jacking off was superb. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I was going to mention that, it's practically the only thing I remember about the film now.

<br />
On the subject of Cage, I had wondered why a guy who at one stage had some serious acting chops had fallen so low to making films for Millennium Films and other straight to DVD companies(though Im hoping the Expendables is a full theatrical release..it has to be!). He's been so prolific lately It's pretty hard to keep track of what he's not in.<br />
<br />
Turns out the guy is US 6m in debt. How can you be making so many movies and be so broke? This at least explains his bad hair piece...
