Prince of Persia.

Oh dear. Oh dear, Oh dear.

I didn't think it was that bad. I enjoyed it more because of that.

At first glance that Prince of Persia looked good
I'm glad I didn't bother.
Actually I may be thinking of Clash of the Titans
That was rubbish too wasn't it?
Notwithstanding Gemma Arterton

Awful film, but worth a good 10 minutes to see her. :)

Watched Life During Wartime, Todd Solondz's sequel to his (very) black comedy Happiness, which I thought was brilliant, daring and at time brutally funny.

The sequel, however, is absolutely abysmal. Bad enough that it's 2 hours of bad storytelling, awful dialogue and disjointed direction, but Todd Solondz's brilliant idea was to film the sequel with different actors in all the original roles. This is a sequel which doesn't stand alone and relies on the audience having watched and appreciated the first movie. So why make it more difficult to relate to the sequel by substituting new actors giving very different performances inconsistent with their original characters? With the same cast it just might have been easier to forgive how badly thought out the sequel is. Without them, it's impossible.

A total disaster of a movie. :(

The last film I saw was The T.V. Set, starring David Duchovney, who plays a TV writer. It was pretty average really, though I'd still recommend it for the writers on here.

:( Does'nt anyone on here like arty cultured films , with sadness longing and tragedy?, or dare I say bathos?...
I found 'looking for Godot', very dark and humerous. .......................Yesthat's why I love the pun by another members name.

I'm not familir with that one. Sure you don't mean Waiting for Godot?

Well I for one loved Die Hard 4.

True Grit and Black Swan - both superb films. For me, the Coen's movie was the better of the two though, which is particularly surprising given the paucity of girl-on-girl action.

Rolling eyes Knew you would give me grief, why don't I just roll over and die then you bloody morons !

Not sure what you mean by this, I like good films, period. Doesn't matter to me what type they are.

Who is giving you grief? I just asked if you meant Waiting For Godot, as I had never heard of 'Looking For'.
