I watched The Hangover a few weeks ago - brilliant. Very funny, some classic lines, and not at all predictable (mostly). A good waste of a couple of hours, and well worth the cinema prices (or a dodgy foreign DVD if your housemate obliges).
..and everyone else you talked to were right. Complete waste of time, and not in the slightest bit scary. A massive let down after some of the things people have said about it.
Very well done, especially the acting, it's like they didn't act, but like it was a real recording. But from all the hype from IMDB and comments, i thought it would freak me out more, but it didn't. Excorcism of Emily Rose still remains the one that freaked me out the most.
Watched "Stoic / Siegburg" a few days ago... Trailer
"Plot:
According to Boll (director), Stoic centers on a true incident which occurred in Siegburg (Germany) prison in 2006 where three prisoners raped, tortured and ultimately forced their cellmate to commit suicide over a period of ten hours in a series of events that began with a poker bet involving the consumption of a tube of toothpaste."
HBO, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg > Band Of Brothers. You just pointed out exactly the reasons why it's effectively Band Of Brothers 2.
Wiki is only saying Band Of Brothers of the 101st Airbourne aren't in the next series, but of course they're not because they didn't fight the pacific, only a retard would think they did. The same production and direction cast, about the same topical context in a film says to me, it's as good as being a sequel. It would be like saying Tolkeins "The Hobbit" story is not part of the Lord of the Rings series of books simply because it doesn't hold the title "Lord of the Rings"
Band of Brothers is TV of the absolute highest order. The story as a whole is just epic, told as sensitively as the book was written, and the way each episode/chapter tends to focus on a different individual and their perspective on things was brilliant.
I've seen trailers for this new Pacific theatre one and I'm just hoping there isn't too much schmaltzy "geez Mary-Ann, when I get back home well shucks, I might could just ask you to marry me." white picket fence stuff.
Well Tom and Steve did SPR which wasn't based on a true story and it was pretty damn good so I think it's safe to assume it will be of higher tier quality.
Im watching Look Who's Talking Now at the moment as its on bbc3, its old but kinda fun, in an animals overdubbed with the voices of famous actors kind of way.
