On the subject of films, i only found out today that the scene in the italian job (original) where the minis are driving through the sewers of turin was filmed in coventry apparently at the time we had the biggest sewers in the country

I imagine this is probably common knowledge but meh

Yes, while they were building Finham Sewarge they filmed that scene there. You can see the bottom of Green Lane and the A46 flyover.

WHAT John? Sunshine is amaaaaaaaaaazing the sound is fucking fantastic.

Everything about the film was done really well - acting, cinematography, soundtrack, visual effects, script, everything - but it just didn't stimulate me. There was no empathy with the characters, no real concept to explore, the storyline was quite thin - there was no real background to the story that was explored, so that you could develop a sense of how important their mission was. There was no real urgency about it. So at the conclusion of the film, where the sun shines again, you didn't really care that much.

It had everything......... EXCEPT anything interesting.

Watched Man On Fire last night - 7/10

I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest yesterday.

Not as good as I thought it was going to be.

Disappointed.

New Harry Potter was alright, but not as Good as Goblet of Fire, still my favourite so far. Got the last book on audio book last just h week. Just hope the last 2 films don't drag as muh as the book did, or they could end up being as drawn out as The lord of the rings trilogy....

In the Loop 9/10

Some cunt from a shit studio used to steal my stickers, strange that

The Hurt Locker 7/10

Bruno 3/10

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest 8/10

Dead Snow 6/10 (Not one for Dan tho or Mithy, these Zombies can climb trees)

That sentence alone shit's me up.

Is that the Nazi "zombie" one?
looked proper awesome till i saw the trailer

Its good man. Its just a pisstake, quite a few references to things like Evil Dead etc.

I'll give it a go

yeah I just watched the trailers and the trailer comes across more serious than the film to be fair.

What was the other reanimated nazi film? or have i just made that up

I can't remember the name but I can tell you then Em got it for her Brother for Christmas, she bought it from one her students at school. It wasn't a fake but apparently he came to school with loads of them in a bag until he got told to stop by a year head. Don't know why I'm telling you this, I'm just bored at work.

There has been quite a few Nazi Zombie films.
Outpost was the one before this, that was ok too. Not so much of a dark comedy though.

Outpost, thats the one

pineapple express - 7/10

made in britain - 6/10

I saw "500 Days of Summer" last night expecting it to be a chick flick but I was pleasantly surprised. 8/10

Made in Britain is worth more than a 6/10 surely? That was Tim Roth's first major role. Aceness!

Even more so if you're giving Pinapple Express a 7

yeah he was awesome

just the film was pointless for me, ending is terrible and overall it has no real message

which a film like that should have

In The Loop - 6.5/10

Wasn't bad, some funny lines. Not really worth making into a film though.

State of Play - 6/10

Not bad, bit dull at times.
