Which Yank show has half naked men eating boar testicles?

It stuck to all things Hollywood, the eclipse, a protagonist v/s antagonist, a chase scene, against the odds escapades, etc but the Mayan setting and a subtle screenplay made it more appealing

Hammer. Nothing special about this blaxploitation film starring Fred Williamson.

No not really. The screenplay let it down. Like I said parts of it could've been any old yank sit com. Would've a lot better had they researched Mayan lifestyle and interaction. . .instead of the crap we had to endure. Which is the point I'm making, that it could've been dressed up as anything *insert any period/culture*, but underneath it all it was very shallow. Then again, it was a Hollywood blockbuster, and we shouldn't have expected much.

Salvation · 4th September 2007, 17:50

That was exactly my point...except said more elaborately

I haven't seen his other movie...Passion of the Christ. I also wanted to watch Last Temptation of Christ long back until I realised how shit my internet connection is

Watched Raise the Red Lantern till the subs went gay on me. Brilliant film thus far.

I loved it. Will finish it off today.

reelworld · 5th September 2007, 14:26

Larry Clark's Kids
Deeply disturbing but overall was excellent. I like the way Clark made the movie with mainly first time actors. I think only Chloe Sevigny was the only one with acting experience.

Huseyin10 · 5th September 2007, 14:31

I watched 'Peaceful warrior' last night, and I really did enjoy it. First 5 minutes or so I thought about not watching it but after that it started to get interesting, and is a film I'd recommend.

Finished it off last night. Masterpiece. No gripes with it at all. As good as anything I've seen over the past few weeks. Gripping storyline, lovely sets/costumes. . .fantastic cinematography, and the acting was superb, especially by Gong Li, who's tits I'd love to see.

Watch it cuntos.

Van Piorsing · 6th September 2007, 11:53

Allright, Spoonto.

Eto'odinho · 6th September 2007, 13:04

Tout puissant!!!.
A comedy of all proportions for all tastes. Starring Bill Murray, William Shatner, Chris Rock, Lawrence Fishburne and Brandy Norwood. This part animated movie follows the life of a white blood cell and his buddy, an ENT tablet in the body of one, Bill Murray. This movie makes science seem fun and encourages learning.

Rating 8/10, Shame I waited 6 years to watch it.

Gong Li's hot allright. You should watch 'Curse of the Golden Flower'. She wears these hot camisoles throughout the movie, enough cleavage exposure to keep you hooked through out.

Ps : You can thank me later.

Sounds like spoony's red lantern is raising too.

The Bourne Ultimatum

i watched this film the other day, and i beleive it is the best of the series, has all the guns, gadgets, stunts and explosions that you would expect, with a storyline to match, i thoroughly enjoyed this movie and can't wait for the box set to be released

My Rating - 9/10

She's curvy. I like that.

I'm downloading 'Not One Less'. Might watch a few of Zhang's movies. Raise the Red Lantern was brilliant. That said, he also did Hero. As for Curse of the Golden Flower, thanks, I'll check it out next week.

Van Piorsing · 7th September 2007, 11:58

Spoony, check "Deadman" with Johnny Depp from Jim Jarmush.

I wonder what opinion You will make about that one.

Spoonatov · 7th September 2007, 12:38

OK. I'll add it to my to watch list.

mehro · 7th September 2007, 17:56

Going for 3:10 to Yuma tonight.

Spoonatov · 7th September 2007, 19:05

Infernal Affairs II for me.

GazM · 7th September 2007, 23:07

kingpin on e4+1 now

is it worth a watch or not?

mehro · 8th September 2007, 03:07

If you have nothing better to do then watch it although it's quite shit.

Yuma plan postponed to tomorrow.

Desert Eagle · 8th September 2007, 03:48

Van Wilder: Rise of Taj

Movie. Worst. Ever.

0/10

Spoonatov · 8th September 2007, 12:05

Infernal Affairs II - Excellent. More slower paced than the first one, but as gripping.

Salvation · 8th September 2007, 12:06

I started to watch The Red Violin until I felt sleepy an hour into it. Was OK-ish until then...
