Martyrs is pretty brutal as well. Not exactly a good date movie, put it that way.

I've seen Martyrs, and it's like a Disney film compared to some of the stuff in ASF.

I'd say you're better off just going to the BBFC website to read the list of cuts that didn't get in rather than subject yourself to the movie....

I've heard about this film, and I'm out. I think I know my limits and I'm not afraid to admit them. I even sat through Antichrist which is appalling for other reasons but this film sounds like 100% fucked up shit, might as well just watch a snuff tbh,

I'm not sure I want to see this Serbian film. Djokovich vs Murray was horrific enough. Zing *hi fives self*

In all seriousness it raises some interesting questions. Not many films you can have an opinion on without even seeing. The fact people talk about not watching it is in itself worthy of debate. It's not a snuff film but its about as close as you can get, how much more horrified would people be if it actually was? Like Antichrist I'm glad its been made rather than having any real desire to see it.

Let The Right One In

Brilliant film full of subtlety and great performances from the two kids. There was a few uncomfortable moments, but it's a film about a child vampire so fair enough. Guess it shows how much you feel for the characters when the moments of violence and fear makes you uncomfortable. Loved it. Never want to watch the American version as long as I live, no good can come of it.

It's apparently quite good but I have no desire to watch another version. The Swedish one is excellent.

Zombie Strippers - I guess with a title like that you kinda of know what to expect, but when I first put it on I was surpised at how cheap and shit it looked, really low budget and crappy, like one of those softcore porn films you watch on movies4men on a Friday night. Stick with it though and it's actually not that bad. There's plenty of blood and gore (and tits of course) and the plot, while camp and pretty terrible does just about enough to hold your attention. Best bits:

1 - Jenna Jameson battles another zombie stripper by firing pool balls at her out of her pussy

2 - A man gets his dick bitten off during a lap dance

3 - Robert Englund gets face-fucked by two naked zombie women

Would watch again? No.

** +1/2

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Genuine lols from one of Judd Apatow's best and arguably most grown-up films. There's still the usual swearing, wacky characters, bad taste moments and occasional nudity, but the story is well told as blundering everyman Peter gets dumped by his stunning TV star girlfriend (the titular Sarah Marshall) and jets off to Hawaii by himself to try and get over her - then finds out she is staying in the same hotel with her new boyfriend, rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand). The best part is the dialogue, which was largely improvesed and has some hilarious moments. Jason Segel deadpans brilliantly as the po-faced, depressed ex-boyfriend, and Mila Kunis as Rachael is a delight. There's a great cameo for Paul Rudd as well.

Would watch again? Yes

"I can see your Hoohaa!"

I loved this film too. When I heard Russell Brand was in it I thought oh shit overacting on the way. But he was actually good. I might go home and watch this tonight now.

In Get Him To The Greek's Blu-ray special features there's a live video of Jason Segel and Jack Black performing the Dracula song live during intermission at Russell Brand's Scandalous. I assumed this was when Gulliver's Travels was being filmed. Jason Segel is just an absolute genius. He wrote most songs for GHTTG too.

The one I watched last night was the "extended version", it had loads of extra scenes in it. "I'm doing a handstand muthaFUCKA!!". Worth picking up if you haven't seen it.

I thought GHTTG was a big disappointment actually, not a patch on Sarah Marshall. In fact, here's what I said in July.

Get Him To The Greek - I like Judd Apatow, I like Jonah Hill, I like Russell Brand and I liked "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" so I was quite looking forward to this film. Sadly it didn't quite live up to expectations. Being a comedy film of this type, it's ram-packed with jokes, the ones that work are really really funny, the ones that don't just kinda fall flat, they try too hard to explain the jokes, and there are long periods without any laughter. The delivery wasn't quite there, and they've spoiled Russell Brand's character by taking him from the 2 dimensional preening rock star of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and trying to flesh him out to be a real person with feelings and family issues, which just doesn't work. It straddles the line between comedy and sentiment and it falls on the wrong side too often.

On the whole I would recommend it because the funny bits are genuinely really funny (P. Diddy steals the show), but don't expect your sides to be splitting. Though it's worth the 7 just to see Russell Brand shouting

"Why don't you fuck off and sue Napster you little Danish twat?"

at Lars Ulrich.

The song about being done up the arse was well funny though.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed

Two blokes kidnap a lass with a rich dad and hold her for ransom in a sound-proofed flat. Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston play the kidnappers, Gemma Arterton plays the lass. That's the only characters throughout. All 3 give good performances, I thought this was really pretty damn good. Eddie Marsan, who'd have thought Stoat from 'Game On' would turn out so well?

9/10

Capitalism: A Love Story

Michael Moore investigates the background to the recession. If you don't like his stuff it will no doubt grate but as ever he makes some pretty compelling arguments.

8/10

I didn't think much of that and my only abiding memory is of seeing the guy's cock more than I needed to. I maybe need to try it again, I didn't like 'Knocked Up' too much first time either but it was better on repeat viewing...

American History X - Edward Norton plays neo-nazi Derek Vinyard. And he does it very well. The film shows why he became a neo-nazi and what happened as he went to prison. I won't spoil it but it show's him kerbing someone. Not in detail, but in the backround, and the thought of it gives me a shiver. But a great movie. Good story put forward really well with some great acting.

That kerb scene is one of the hardest scenes to watch in any film. Brutal.

Be honest though, how many fuckin' bastardin' cunts have you imagined yourself doing that to when your blood is up?

I got one of those 4 for 3 nights dealies at Blockbuster the weekend. Slim pickings....

Whip It

The Kid (she's 12) watched it and said is was good. Rating n/a

The Hole

Watched this with my partner an The Kid. Load of dreary bollox, even The Kid was bored by the end. 2/10

Shank

Drama by the makers of Kidulthood set in a dystopian near-future (2015). A mixed-race gang of youths struggle for survival in a society that has broken down. A bit of a victory of style over substance with flashy (and irritating) camera work, graphics and cartoons. Watchable, but the movies stylised dialogue (a mixture of English, Carribean and LA street) is just about unintelligable. Some nice acoustic tunes in the soundtrack in amongst the ubiquitous rap score. The only time I think I've ever seen anyone actually take a shit for real in a movie! (TMI, I know). 6/10

Buried

Thriller starring Ryan Reynolds about a truck driver who wakes up - after being knocked unconcious - buried in a pine box. Don't want to give too much away, but it's a really tense thriller and Reynolds, whom I'd written off as another Chris Evans 6-pack meathead, is excellent in the role. 8/10

I've been meaning to catch Whip It, I thought it looked pretty good. Although I really hate Drew Barrymore. In fact, the reason I wanted to watch it is because I like Ellen Page, but seeing her being a sour faced miserable cunt on Jonathan Ross kinda put me off her as well. So maybe I won't bother. :laughing:

Was The Hole the British horror movie with Keira Knightley? That's a great film, surprised you didn't like it.

I love that film. I knew it was going to be a challenging watch as soon as it started off (pitch black screen for the first 5 mins or so) but it was fantastic!

Nah - this is an American teen horror movie with a completely different plot (kinda The Ring-ish, including jerky walks).

The Brit movie The Hole was quite good.

True Grit.

Really enjoyed this. The story was so simple, but the characters and dialogue (I am unsure how original the dialogue was mind you) were second to none. I guess this is sometimes what the Coen bros do best. The three main characters absolutely excel, the wee girl is especially impressive. I was watching it with two Poles and an Iranian mind you, and they had difficulties deciphering anything Bridges said (best working actor just now?). Go and see this, very enjoyable. 9/10.

Step Up 2: The Street - I am hungover and stuck to the couch and watched this from start to finish on ITV2. It really made me realise that it doesn't matter where you're from or what your background is. If you can step up and bust some moves on the street you can win anybody's respect - even that of rival dance crews and the stuffy headmaster of the local dance school. Nice tits help. 10/10
