I watched "Sideways" lastnight and was looking forward to it going by the reviews on IMDB however it was quite poor IMO.
L101: The Aviator.....What?......good?.......What a load of toss !
CB: I was looking forward to watching "Closer" aswell. Hope it isnt too bad ? Agree with you on "The Station Agent," I really liked that.

thought Denzel was WAAAAyyy better in training Day.

MoF seems very cliched and most of the acting is hammy as hell to me..

Update:

Have now seen the following since posting this thread:

Closer = Poor
Man on Fire = Excellent
Million Dollar Baby = Good
Wimbledon = Good
Wicker Park = Average/good
Meet the Fockers = Good
Butterfly effect = Excellent

Going to watch within next couple of weeks:

The Aviator
Saw
Hellboy
Eternal Sunshine of a ....

I'm 3/4 through "Closer" - very good film.

ESoSM is excellent.

The Woodsman is ok.

Team America is very funny in s "southpark" way

Man on Fire - very cool - what a twisted man.

Team America - so damn funny!
Saw - very good, but a few annoying minor flaws

Cant believe how many people reckon Meet the Fockers was amazing? I liked the first one, but the second weak very weak IMO.

Nah. Not for me.
Going to watch "The Final Cut" and "Spongebob" tonight.

Harrold and Kumar go to White Castles (UK release is named differently) is a good laugh.

I saw man on fire when it 1st came out, liked it so much I went and bought the DVD when it came out
I’m not one for reading usually but after my dad watched the DVD he said the book is much better and the film is only loosely based on it.

So im considering investing in a copy has anyone else read it?
