But, possibly, this one should swap with THX, as every time i watch it, i like it more -

The first new star treck film was pretty good, and im not much into trecking.  I have not seen the one thats just out on dvd though.
"Touching the void" was memorable, if you want something completely different.

Despicable Me 1 and 2. Great films

Also Alien, my favourite film of all time.

Tony,

What do you think of Prometheus?

Personally, i thought it was reasonable, but, with a few real such small changes, could have been so much more / a classic.

The flight of the Phoenix the first one not the crap remake
good book to must have read it a dozen times
fantastic acting especially by Richard Attenborough

Prometheus I found a bit disappointing. Too inconsistent and too much left unanswered, I guess that's what happens when you involve a writer from Lost.

This says it all really:

(very good read if you haven't read it already)

Prometheus is a funny one, the first time I watched it, it certainly didn't seem like the mega film it was hyped to  be. The second time, it seemed a lot better, and by the third watching, it seemed like a different film altogether.

Looper, great n the first watching, but turned off half way through the second time. Maybe needs a few months before I watch it again.

Best film lately, Sourcecode. Only watched it once, but seemed like the sort of film I'll still be watching in five years time.

Watched looper recently.  It was better than expected (i find bruce willis pretty dull), but why torture the first chap to get his older self in?  Why not just top him? 

Irritating flaws.  One single flaw like that can wreck an otherwise reasonable movie for me.

[julianf]

How could i forget?  Battle Royal.  Even with your avatar.

2nd one is a joke though.

Dirty water was good too.  The japanese one (i think, maybe, theyve remade it, like they did "The Ring"?)

[Tony]

Aah I wanted to watch Looper. Will see if it is out on BR/DVD.

Tony,

I was careful in my comment above not to ruin it for anyone who has not seen it.  Its a minor, supporting part, of the film, but its still irritating.

I dunno about BR, but I have it on DVD. Think it was £7. That is the most I will pay. Wait long enough and they all end up at £3 anyway.

It's well worth watching, it's a good film. Just maybe one that isn't going to age very well.

Brazil.

Hilarious in that subtle dry way that I like. Complete with steampunk, industrialism, and some fantastic cinematography.

yes, forgot brazil totally agree.
