Such a good film that. I daren't watch the Hollywood version/remake of it in case I smash the TV in anger!!!

Agree. Great film. Have avoided the Yankeeeee remake like the plague. Well, ok not that much, but I've no desire to watch it.

Been catching snippets of a film called 'One Day', apparently based on a book we should have all read, or we're not trendy? Have I missed something? Looks pretty rubbish anyway. No vampires, or robots.

This one looks a recording job for later in the week. Another one the Yanks are apparently on with a remake. www.film4.com/reviews/2007/timecrimes

The Fighter - Good film with excellent boxing scenes. But watching a film about "Irish" Mickey Ward and it not covering his 3 fights with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti, which are widely considered to be some of the greatest fights in the history of boxing, kind of left me underwhelmed.

They're doing a follow up which focuses on the Gatti Trilogy.

Looking forward to reading critical comments of 'The Inbetweeners Movie'

Re: The even-newer film thread – MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! : Wed Aug 17, 2011 5:42 pm  

The Inbetweeners movie is superb!

It's every bit as funny as the TV show and then some. The whole audience was in stitches and you could sense everyone cringeing at some parts of it. Although it stays true to the TV show (with some cracking throwback references to it) it actually has quite a bit of heart to it, and is decent as a stand alone story. A fitting climax to the Inbetweeners, farewell Neil, Jay, Simon and Will!

I can't recommend it highly enough though, I will be going again before long I reckon!

Saw them being interviewed at their London premiere (think it was last night).

The reporter asked the actor who plays Neil what they thought of the recent rioting and of the kids taking part in it.

He gave a really serious answer, saying how shocking it was, and you could see the other three on the verge of p!ssing theirselves.

Have taken the kids to see Green Lantern and Captain America recently. Didn't mind either of them so long as you disengaged the brain and went along with it. Batman aside, DC comics' heroes are and always were rubbish though.
