Its another Hooligan English movie but I was well impressed with it, and tracks the life of a minor thug in the 70s all the way up through the beginning of the dance scene to the major underground drug world of th mid 90s.

Very enjoyable and some top acting throughout.

8/10

Watched the film also good show, but was'nt there a film made ages ago called Essex Boys which was more aimed at the drug dealers ?

Yeah but this one was based on a true story, I thought it was much better than Essex boys.

Finally watched it, it was a good film which I enjoyed, very violent early on but once you got past that it was an interesting insight into the world of the "hardman gangster". 6/10

Yeah i really enjoyed Layer cake, I didnt have high expectation thinking it was lock stock rip off so I guess that helps.

Just watched Stardust which was a lot better then what i thought it would be. Though i never take De Niro seriously again in a gangster movie   :D

De Niro was friggin hilarious in that!  :D

That bit where his ship gets taken over and the fellas walk in on him was brilliant!
How hot did Michelle Pfeiffer look in it as well (well when she wasn't meant to look a couple of hundred years old that is  :D )?

That was a classic Rushie

Yeah Michelle still looking pretty good, though Claire Danes is making me feel old. She certainly looks a lot different from when she was younger

Watched Hitman last night, surprisingly watchable for a film based on a computer game(bit like a poormans Jason Bourne) lost its way a bit towards the end but kept me interested enough to want to see the end. 6/10 (extra point for the girl)

Watched The Golden Compass, was well worth the download, a bit like Harry Potter without the ginger one. Irritating lead girl but apart from that a good film. Cr@p ending as I suppose there is going to be a sequel out soon.

Cant say that i was that impressed but i had a dodgy download and there wasnt enough Eva Green for my liking but thats just my shallow self coming through.

Watch Day watch the sequel to Night watch today and that was bit of mess and that wasnt down to the dodgy download

Only a 6 ? crikey cobber Woofs rubbing off on yer :D

I watched that Hitman today, now thats a 6/10 as you said a poor mans 'Bourne ultimatum'.

Did watch a good film last night though, 'Flawless starring Michael Caine and Demi Moore. Probably not to everyones taste but I found a good watch 7/10 bordering on 8.

Watched another the other day called 'Where the blood lies' steer well clear of this one, I was waiting for soemthing of relavence to happen in this but nothing came of it. Total bore of a film 2/10.

Theres a good copy out now Laza, just has  "for your consideration" a couple of times, but apart from that it very good.

I enjoyed flawless as well mate, but I thought the ending let the film down. Tonnes of the "stuff" and he doesn't take a bag or two?  Definately worth watching though.

Any one seen that Russian mafia one with Viggo Mortenson and Naomi Watts, suppose to be a damn good fight scene in that one. If so any good both scene and movie?
