Same for me too (although I did give it the benefit of a re-watch to redeem itself - it didn't).

Count me in on the not impressed by Wolf Creek vote. I watched it when it initially came out to rent - this for me is the equivalent of most people going to the cinema - I'm not usually a fan of new horror but everyone made out that it was something special, I just found it dull, I think I fell asleep twice before getting through it. I was thinking of giving it another go but I need to stop wasting my time.

'Sniff' Nout' on my to watch list at the moment. Feel like watching an asian thriller tonight, any recommendations at all? Stab at the dark, I know but I've been to busy to think about going to the cinema lately and can't decide where to start in my recently bought pile. So yeah, any asian thriller's that might be worth a watch?

Cold Fish is really good (if you haven't already seen it).

As I've mentioned before, I have mainly been watching TV recently but I should really make the most of my time off and watch some of my scary movies, especially as Mum says I can leave the landing light on!

Anyway, I delved into a classic, 12 Angry Men (1957), woot, 6% cleared from my Sky box!

12 Angry Men was one of those films I had always planned on getting around to watch but never made the effort to seek it out. Fortunately it was on MGM HD recently. An amazing, compelling film from start to finish with a stellar cast. I'm ashamed to say I was reluctant to see it as I didn't think a film about a jury deciding whether a kid was innocent or guilty would be as great as it is, such a simple premise but perfectly executed (pun intended) but with me just because something is a classic it doesn't mean I will like it.

Casino - Sweet Jesus that's longest film I've ever watched in one sitting. And boy was it great. Fantastic performances, superb soundtrack, and, like Zero Dark Thirty, as long as it is, it's still extremely engrossing, as there is a lot of information to take in, especially in the first half an hour when they set up the whole story and characters. Sharon Stone does a good job of playing a complete nutjob. I'm not normally one to complain about violence, but Jesus it was pretty brutal at points, especially at the end.

Having only seen Hugo and Shutter Island prior to my recent viewing, Taxi Driver was my first Scorsese classic, and I was a tad dissapointed. But this did not dissapoint and I look forward to watching his other classic works.

All round 180 minutes well spent. Highly reccomended to those who haven't seen it.

I haven't watched anything for days and days been to busy with the move - I did watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom last week though, Raiders was ace but I found Temple a bit too corny - which is funny, because for years I thought I liked Temple more out of the two Saying that though, the second half, which is NOTHING like the first hour of the film is really good.

I think this is a great movie good choice,
