I've had Green Zone recorded on my Sky+ for an age now. Tonight may be the night it gets watched.. anyone seen it?

Ridiculous storyline. Britain and America invade Iraq over non-existant WMDs.

I loved it. Paul Greengrass does this sort of film very well, and the excellent Mark Strong isn't the bad guy.

I didn't bother in the end. I will at one point though. I am really rubbish at sitting down to watch a full film. I just seem to lose interest halfway through!

Green Zone kept me interested but in the end i found it an average film and the ending was a little bit crap.

Watched 11.11.11 the other day, and was disappointing and predictable, with the shocks few and far between. 1 to avoid when it comes out.

More worryingly is the form of Nicholas Cage, who has made nothing but drivel for the last few years, which is a shame, as a few years ago, a lot of his films were immensly watchable, Face/off, Snake eyes and Raising Arizona especially. Now he's done Trespass, which according to the Mirror;
"This $35m movie was pulled from cinemas and dumped on DVD in a record 18 days, after taking just $24,094 at the box office."....ouch.

Yes it's pretty good although ended a bit abruptly for me.

Continuing the countdown. Into the top 10. Numbers 10 to 6. Any guesses for ones in the top 5? I'll help you out with Casino Royale not being in there
