My favourite films are; Little Miss Sunshine, SE7EN, The Usual Suspects, Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, Toy Story, Cool Runnings, Into The Wild, Stranger Than Fiction, V For Vendetta, Four Lions.

I currently have Shutter Island, The Losers and The Collector from LoveFilm.

I despised The Losers… I actually have a fondness for ridiculous, over the top films (Crank is one of my favorites), but it disappointed to no end. Hope you enjoy it a little more than I did.

What is everyone’s favorite British film’s ? 
Sweet Sixteen
Nil By Mouth
My Name Is Joe
Trainspotting
Looking For Eric
Shallow Grave
Orphans
Brassed Off
This Is England
28 Days Later

I don’t know why everyone loves This Is England. I thought it was awful.

Favourite British films:
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Notting Hill
Bridget Jones’ Diary
Bridget Jones’ DIary 2
About a Boy
Love Actually
Basically any film where Hugh Grant plays a charmingly befuddled English gent

Lulz…. jk

Nice bit of Ken Loach love in there. Well played.

I don’t know why everyone loves This Is England. I thought it was awful.

I can completely understand how some may find it to be melodramatic, but I don’t know, the overall tone of it was just really nice in my opinion, comforting in a way, but at the same time, hard-hitting. I thought the acting was quite good, for a lot of these role you could just imagine shitty acting, but Shane Meadows did a great job of getting good performances out of his actors.

With the discussion of This Is England, thoughts on most over-rated films of all-time?

Mine would include Avatar (Cameron hasn’t made a good film since Terminator 2), LOTRs - The Two Towers (1+3 were good, I was bored stuff during 2) and the Bourne Trilogy off the top of my head.

For British films, Dead Man’s Shoes MUST be included as one if the best.

Favorite English Films & Shaun of the Dead was left out?  Madness.

Hot Fuzz was good, but not as good as SotD.

Somers Town, Man on Wire and Slumdog Millionaire are all fantastic as well.

Cant beleive i left out Shaun Of The Dead the scene in the pub when the jukebox blast’s out Dont Stop Me Now is something else . In Bruges is another that should be on the list .

Really?  It is terrible.

I saw it in the listings in a paper once, described as Football drama starring Mel Sterland

Good The Bad The Weird - pretty good.

Fave British movie is Dead Man’s Shoes.

Paddy Considine is just heroic in it.

It’s fookin brilliant.

Most overrated film of all-time, you say?

*shouts through megaphone*

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!

or Cinema Paradiso.

I watched Mortal Kombat on Friday night after hockey training and it was every bit as terrible as I expected.

Just about to launch (if that’s not grand a word) my film blog, wherein I watch and review every single film that is on at my local multiplex for a whole year. More to come on that.

I bet you can’t wait for Yogi Bear and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never 3D.

And here it is - Multiplex Slut… review no. 1 is up and 2 (Season of the Witch), 3 (The King’s Speech), 4 (It’s Kind of a Funny Story) and 5 (The Green Hornet) are imminent.

Have a look and leave positive comments here: http://multiplexslut.blogspot.com/

And don’t judge too harshly - I doubt that all of the reviews will be as long-winded and pompous as the first. I’ll give it a month before we hit ‘shit sandwich’ territory.

Season of the witch u poor poor man lol . Good work

Read your first two reviews, sir. Quick, to the point and easy to read. No need for any elongated or drawn out views. It’s very easy to sound pretentious when critiquing movie’s but fair play to you, good stuff and I will be bookmarking it.

I love the name, genius.

This is surely going to cost you a fortune..?

But it is a brilliant idea. Fair play!

I watched The Collector. It angered me.

That was a mx of films I enjoyed even if not the best and also ones that are good when viewed critically. When Saturday Comes is a poor film from a technical point of view but ultimately films like that are soley for enjoyment and entertainment.

coen brothers do it for me.

very much looking forward to the new one - ‘true grit’.

apparently jeff bridges is amazing in it. you’ll remember bridges and the coen brothers from the big lebowski of course.

Worth noting I support Sheffield Wednesday, not enjoyment for me!

WIthout giving any plugs, one of the big chains has a ‘pay monthly, see what you like’ offer. It’ll cost me £13.50 a month so not too bad really.

Bloody excellent reviewing Ghedebrav, I’ll definitely be bookmarking your site.

Just put up a review of The King’s Speech (http://multiplexslut.blogspot.com/). As Milene Domingues once remarked to Ronaldo - let’s see how long I can keep this up.

Ah that’s pretty good actually. Brilliant reviews by the way, lovin’ em.

The Social Network was great, and Fincher did an excellent job, but I can’t help the feeling that Inception was a little robbed at the Globes.

I would’ve given Best Director to Nolan for Inception. The translation from script to screen was near perfect. I bet it sounded awesome in his head, but not many director’s can articulate such a convoluted idea so well into the visual aspect of the film itself. It just totally *worked*.

Good reviews, I’ll keep tabs on what you’re covering.  I have a bit of a renewed interest in cinema at the moment - my housemates and I are making a bit of a concerted effort to watch a lot of films from IMDB’s Top 250 (even have a little spreadsheet saying who’s watched what - I’m way ahead of them.  I live with 3 girls, and it’s a well known fact that girls don’t go out of their way to watch Westerns, Classic Cinema, World Cinema, Anime, War Films, Holocaust Films, anything that isn’t ‘Love Actually’).

Glad to see Amadeus in your top 10 - I liked that film, though I’ve not watched it in ages.  Also very glad to see Paris, Texas - massive fan of that film.

I went to a test screening last night and had to sign a confidentiality contract.

So I may or may not have seen a film. And it may or may not have been utter balls. (It was)

In 2010, I only saw a few new releases… Toy Story 3, Due Date, London Boulevard, The Town and Harry Potter.

The Town and Toy Story were decent and the rest weren’t very good. Will be watching The Black Swan when it’s out, it looks superb.

By the recomendation of The Ramble, I have bought King of Kong !

Pleased to see there’s one sensible chap that’s mentionned “In Bruges” but i’ll do it once more… For those that havn’t seen it - utterly awesome…

Coke, Midgets and baiting fat Americans - what’s not to like ?!?!

However I always love watching Butch and Sundance… It’s literally got everything (Richard)

So I have the choice of;

- The King’s Speech
- Black Swan
- Green Hornet
- Henry’s Crime
- The Big Sleep

to go see tonight.  I may or may not be with a female.  (I am, but I’m not that fussed about whether she likes it or not, I’m paying for the bloody thing she can have an open mind whether she likes it or not.)

Thoughts?  Aside from calling her a belter that is.
