[Barrel of Fun]

I think we've all seen Total Recall thanks BoF

I don't get it

 

[Uncle Albert]

District 9....quality film!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I've just brought Pride and Glory from Amazon for 1p (I know!!!) quite looking forward to it because it's got Ed Norton and Jon Voight in it, and I think they're great actors. Even if it's shit it's only cost me a penny!!!!!

Almost did exactly the same after catching a bit of Price and Glory on TV the other evening. The only thing about scAmazon's 1p films is that it's usually an indicator that they're fairly shite.

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

In Bruges .
British gangster drama accompanied with some dark humour .

 

[Simster]

Another recommendation here for both "District 9" and "In Bruges". Both tidy.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Extra votes for:

Tinker, Tailor....
Four lions
District 9

loved Kickass too!


and Dave!

To be fair, I also ordered The Diving Bell and The Butterfly for the mrs, which was an EXCELLENT film, and I managed to get that for a penny pre owned too!

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (2010) - IMDb

Good call. Have got this but have yet to watch it as I haven't seen Elite Squad 1 (which is supposed to be better than 2)

Yeah, fair enough. You really can't go wrong picking up films for £1.27 delivered! (usually zoverstocks)

A few independents I picked up in the £3 shelf at Tescos. All very good for what they are.
Stakeland (post apocalyptic road movie , with daywalking hillbilly vampires as the main threat)
Ironclad ( brutal medieval siege drama)
Dead Heads (comedic movie about two guys trying to locate an engagement ring ,who happen to be zombies)
Versus( Japanese gangster, martial arts , samurai , time travel ,zombie , vampire flick)
Troll Hunter (norwegian, just what it says on the tin)
Dead Snow (resurected zombie Nazi soldiers cause havoc around modern day Norway)

Ones I have my eye , but not seen
Juan of the Dead ....comedy Cubans in Miami zombie film.
The Squad .......Columbian military come across dark experiments whilst on manouveres ............er zombies again
War of The Dead WW11 , ......you guessed it ...............zombies with machine guns .

I did not realise until I wrote this list how shallow my movie viewing is .............clearly going through my zombie period right now.

The Guard

Seconded (if it's the same film...Irish copper, small village, drug bust, FBI, that one?).

Watched it on lovefilm the other night. Never heard of it before but it had a reasonable review and there was nowt on telly so gave it a go. Well worth a watch.

Watched Mr Nice shortly after as well and that was watch-able too.

Yup. Stars Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. Directed by the brother of the guy who directed in bruges.

 

[element]

Lynne Ramsay's 'Morvern Callar'

and/or

Innarritu's 'Biutiful'

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Even as a bit of a Kevin Smith fanboy I have to say that film is a bit weak.
.

Maybe because you're a KS fanboy you thought it was weak. It's a huge departure from his other work. Not full of cock jokes and drug references. It still has sharp dialogue and the performances from Michael Parks and John Goodman are superb. I found it thought provoking to say the least.
