Just watched Leaving Las Vegas. Seen it numerous times. Quite possibly the single best performance from an actor/actress that I've ever seen. Ever.
Got a tip for us?

don't bother mate. sucked. BIG time!
My wife and I saw it this weekend and thought it was fun. It's just your typical mind numbing action flick with over the top shoot outs, car chases, heavy artillery, and corny one liners. They throw in a family sub plot, but that's a part of the Die Hard formula so it's not unexpected.
Quite possibly!
Love that movie. I accidentally bought the DVD on two separate occasions and one day while looking for something to watch I saw two of them in my library and was baffled as to why I had them.
Last movie?
Whats it to ya .....?
I just saw Skyfall on iTunes the other day...... Although I prefer the original 007 movies.
Sometimes the originals are the best.. But you get to a point, where the story starts either staying the same, or slowly changing over time, played by different characters, to the point, even the voices are different.....
By time you realise..... Its not the same anymore.

Since Shawn Connery and From Russia With Love and Thunderball, I rank Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace (the new ones) as the best two Bond movies.
Just watched the Time Machine (1960). Really like that movie. Don't care for its sequel.
Nothing much to do on a night shift so I watched this.
This movie makes me feel a lot more safer in the fact that any invading country like the one in the film who chooses to paradrop directly cities instead of fields and then they get preoccupied with every escaped teenager before they have acted and attacked aggressively.

Lola by Jaques Demy. Lovely and honest movie from the 60s with Anouk Aimée. Bit of a pity they had to shoot cheaply and dubbed it later on..
About to watch Skyfall. Mum picked up the £10 DVD version from Asda last night and I have ripped to my iTunes so I can sit and watch in comfort.
Agreed, there should have been an unexpected/unpredictable twist. It would have been much more interesting.
sorry but this is one of those - Leave it alone! remakes.
oh dear indeed..... (poor Patrick)

I did not care for the conflicting ways the film dealt with time travel.

I was not impressed with the previews apparantly for good reason!
I found the writing good and much better than I thought it'd be. Made me laugh numerous times. The plot wasn't nearly as bad as you make it sound.
Yesterday I watched an English film named Blitz with Jason Statham. Pretty interesting cop vs. serial killer story. It's by no means deep or a thriller, but entertaining none the less.

I liked it but I'm a sucker for over the top ridiculous action.
I guess you liked the '09 Star Trek then, too? Just finished it and, while somehow entertaining, they definitely should have shot some of that strange red matter straight into those big plot holes as well.
Oh, and Spock does look like Cesc Fabregas now.
I must say that I rather liked the 2009 'Star Trek' movie, and I write this as a long time fan (albeit an affectionate, if critically analytical one) of the franchise.
What you (accurately) describe as the 'big plot holes' alas, exist, (cue willing suspension of disbelief, here, simply because I liked it) but I must confess that I also loved Zachary Quinto's sophisticated take on the character of Mr Spock (who was long my favourite of the original Star Trek crew, even when I first saw it as an exceedingly intellectual child, oh, some decades ago......)
Edit: Maybe the setting helped.......I watched it in Tbilisi, ( a few years ago) accompanied by a few nerdish colleagues, who rejoiced in the fact that the owner of a small, art-house cinema was open to the suggestions of the resident (western) ex-pat community as to what might be shown each week with us as an enthusiastic audience. When colleagues emailed me to inform me that 'Star Trek' was being shown, and inviting me to accompany them, I re-arranged my day in order to be able to join them......
Loved it and can't wait for the new one this may.

They are airing it uncut which is good because the edited version isn't as funny.
Yes, must admit that I'm looking forward to the next installment of the (alternative) 'Star Trek', franchise, too.
