[SwindonTartanArmy]

ooooh lots of quality films coming out!

Particularly looking foreard to the Last King of Scotland and obviously the Teenage mutant ninja turtles


PS are we allowed to call them Ninja tutrtles now that Maggie the milk snatcher is no longer in charge?

[flammableBen]

I think Rocky Balboa deserved to be mentioned twice.

Dogtown and Z boys is quality!

Also liked the movie of it.... Lords of Dogtown

[Simon Pieman]

Sin City was OK but hugely over-rated.

It needs to be better or have some proper stripping from the Alba

i saw a flier for that in the wheatsheaf on sunday...there was nothing there that really made me want to go partake in the fun though

One I’m looking forward to is Clive Barker’s remake of the original Hellbound Hellraiser one of the greatest British horror films ever made.  Still in early development but if he can capture the atmosphere of the original he’ll be onto a winner.

Probably have a gawp at Saw III for the gore and Tarantino and Rodriguez’s Grindhouse.

 Think you need an open mind,   for this sort of thing (ps I'm not suggesting you haven't ) meaning more, go to something on spec....it might be crap it might be great.
 
  The Libertines looks good, as apparently the debauched Earl of Rochester had some connection with Lydiard.

  Anything with a Ken Loach input like Tickets, will at least be thought provoking

  And Soy Cuba sounds like it'll be worth brushing down the old Che Guevara beret for.

[Dazzza]

The Libertine is ok, bit long and drawn out though.

Filmed not far away from me and a good friend who does extra work got buggered against a tree.
