I remember quite liking 'Sunshine'. His next film is Judge Dredd.
I've just seen... Page 188
Revenge of the Sith
hugely entertaining
to my surprise!

Yes, Sunshine's a lot of fun, although it does all fall to pieces a bit at the end.

Good god, have you lost control of your senses man!
No.
I loved it
Totally proposterous story line...
But it was cracking stuff
Well each to their own.
But. I think you've been touched in the head.
Why?????!
It looks incredible
very exciting
and it tied up the whole Vader storyline thing in the end
quite violent too - not sure young kids should see it!
He goes from good guy to bad guy at the flip of a scene. One minute moaning to Natalie Portman then killing kids. No gradual progression or character development.
CG backgrounds are awful.
But Obi Wan owning him in that fight is good I'd of liked him to lop Vaders head off.
oh and the Vader "NOooooooooooo" is up there with the most skin crawling cinema moments ever.
Yeah I agree on some of those points
and the 'flip' you mention was frankly laughable
but it Star Wars! It's silly childish fun
No need to analyse it too deeply
it was good fun!
Yeh fair point I do get a little 'into' stuff.
No offence intended. I just didn't enjoy it.
Hey I think it's me that's in the minority here
most people slag it off
I think it's important to remember that the whole star wars thing is very simple comic book style adventure stuff and not meant to be very serious, complex stuff
I've loved all the films except even I thought the Phantom Menace was way to soppy!
Hey ho
Problem Star Wars will never live to the nostalgia it's held to. So any continuation is doomed to be panned.
But. Lego Star Wars is very good lol 
'Three Kings'. Took me a bit of time to get into the Iraqui stuff but quite gripping.
I like lofthouse's attitude! Movies (not so much films) are there to be enjoyed and not over analyzed. I love it when I take off my writer/critic hat and can sit back and enjoy. I'll admit a lot of films make it hard but maybe beforehand have a can or smoke to relax your mind ma'an..
Two documentaries - The Staircase and Murder on a Sunday Monday Morning - by Frenchman Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, both about US murder trials. Murder on a Sunday Monday Morning is about how some Florida police detectives beat a murder confession out of an innocent 15-year-old black boy, who was saved from life imprisonment by two competent state defenders. The Staircase is a more complex tale, about a novelist accused of murdering his wife. He claims she fell down the stairs. In hindsight, perhaps he should have claimed she was attacked by an owl. Both documentaries are up there with Capturing the Friedmans. Staircase is a bit disturbing.
