Title: This is England
Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 16:12:18
Bought this in Asda when I was back in blighty, on the back of some decent reviews on 'TheTownend'.

It had better be good!! :twisted:

As I think most said it's good, just not quite what it could be.

The Lives of Others(which has also just come out) would have been a better buy.  It's about a ruthless and efficient Stasi officer in East Berlin who becomes emotionally involved with the lives of a couple is tasked to watch, leading him to question the regime and his own life within it.  Highly recommended :nod:

Indeed you'd think. A 1hr30min film becomes 5 fucking hours

Luc, male rules make about as much sense as "Man Flu" = complete bollocks.

there are no rules, they make it up as they go a long. Man Flu does not exist, it's just 'Man'

For someone that has 'Man' today they are making a rather lot of posts.

Man Flu Phrase originally coined by women; now used to wind them up and/or carefully used to gain pity and servitude from them.

Saw The lives of others last night [getting into the mood for a trip to Berlin this week :D] was good,found the end really moving.Not in a massive rush to watch it again though.I'd much prefer to watch Cabaret,Liza Minnelli in those stockings does it for me everytime :wink:
