      American Gangster is well worth a trip to the cinema (or your PC! ;D) watched it the other day and enjoyed it immensely, I was never a big fan of Denzel but his acting alongside Russell Crowe is outstanding. For those who don’t know the film is based on the true story of Frank Lucas a black gangster from Harlem who had a novel way of getting his ‘Merchandise’ into the US. The cat and mouse action as Crowe who plays a policeman trying desperately to find evidence to jail Denzel is very well played out, so much so that you sometimes feel sorry for the gangster himself! The film also pulls no punches regarding the trading and taking of drugs. Sorry for going all Jonathon Ross but I think it is well worth a watch.

      Seen it on Friday Glenbuck and thought it was excellent. I had been looking forward to this for a while and it didn't dissappoint. Denzel and Russell were both excellent in the roles, which I was expecting as I'm  a big fan of both of them. I'd recommend this to anyone particularly if you are a fan of crime/ganster films like myself.

      Im off to see it tomorrow but i do think Denzel is a legend actor though!
      My fav film so far this year has got to be Outlaw though and i still think Four Brothers is one of the best films i have seen in a while!

      Sexy Beast was on last night & I had been meaning to watch it for ages...just what i need last night chilling out after a nice Chinese.

      Ray Winston & Ben K' both superb, although storyline a little far fetched ;)

      Watched I am Legend the other night and really enjoyed it, the lack of dialogue for long spells was really weird but the eerie sense of Will Smiths character being totally alone was created realistically as was the impression of nature taking over a now empty New York.
      Story may be a bit weak in places but for a good chill out and forget about things for a couple of hours then you won't go far wrong with this one, although the wife did cover her eyes at a couple of very well directed "scary" moments. :o

      Ray Winston also in a great film I saw last night for the first time...The Departed...got it for Christmas. Jack Nicholson at he's usual 'bad' best. Great storyline & cast.

      Looking forward to downloading it going the pictures and spending about £30 on tickets, a drink and some popcorn later to see it.

      If you like true crime films then have a watch of Rise of The Foot Soldier it follows a lad who starts out with the ICF following West Ham and leads through the drug and rave scene of the 90s in gangland Essex, the film basically goes through events that lead to the triple killing of three lads found shot dead in a range rover in Rettendon.(your told this at the start so its not a spoiler ;D)
      The film is gory but as its a true story its unavoidable, well worth a watch and it knocks Sean Beans attempt "Essex Boys" for six.

      I really wanna see I Am Legend it looks brilliant. I recently watched
      Knocked Up - Funny but not as funny as I expected
      Twin Town - Absolutely brilliant!! :D
      John Tucker Must Die - Girlie, chick flick but funny - a feel-good film :P
      and before Christmas I saw American Gangster which was more violent than I expected but really really good.

      Thanks for the recommendation Glenbuck. Will be checking that one out.

      Just saw Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale....normally really like his work and always enjoy a Werner Hertzog movie but found this one a little dull and a bit like a TV version......the end is Camembert on a stick.
