Anyone else see the Ian Dury biopic on Sky?

[rog]

I hear they could be making Matrix 4 & 5

[SGD]

Saw the "Thor" trailer - looks great, though Anthony Hopkins can't need the money now, surely?

I love superhero movies, I loved Kick Ass too, even though he had no super powers.

[Chris]

Loved the matrix films so I do hope there's more! Super hero movies are great too, just got kick ass to watch.

[SGD]

I loved Kick Ass!

Ditto for Kick Ass. Watched Predator today, old but such a classic Arnie film :-). Happy Gilmore is may most watched fave tho.

[Chris]

Both great films (happpy gilmore and predator)
Forbidden Kingdom was on last night very good! love Jackie Chan films, any kung fu really lol

just watched the stephen king films, a couple of good ones but not great.

Did you know that the film 'Running Man' was based on a Stephen King book. Arnies version deviates quite a lot from the book though. He wrote it under the pen name Richard Bachman early in his career. Great set of books if you have chance to read them.

The African Queen - Bogart & Hepburn classic.

Stephen King also wrote The Shawshank Redemption (one of the best films ever) and Stand By Me (I think it was called The Body in novel form). Plus Carrie and Apt Pupil. I also think a lot of bad films have been made from great Stephen King books, such as IT and The Stand. Its all in the translation really, sometimes a great book makes a bad film and vice versa.

And then you have the case where a terrible book makes a nauseatingly terrible film like Twilight!

[G60dubber]

Ur full of interesting facts Jenni :-), didn't know about Shawshank, fabulous film though .

Another film I enjoy watching is 'The Power of One', again not a patch on the novel by Bryce Courtenay but still brings a warm feeling :-), definitely on my recomended reading list.

Liked the Mel Gibson film "Tim" hardly ever shown now though

[Chris]

Any which way you can classic! right turn clyde
