i'm not a fan but there wasn't anything wrong with the acting in Billy Elliott was there? Clint Eastwood doesn't act anyway, he just 'does Clint'

I actually like Strictly ballroom. But it's a campy comedy...how can you not like it?

Everyone did an excellent job in Billy Eliot, including Jamie Bell who is by far the least capable actor of the lot. Comparing anyone from that film to the complete amateurs of Grand torino is ridiculous. Clint excluded. And if you can name some other film that deals with such a topic, let me know.

This movie is utterly mesmerizing. The graphics are so spectacular I can't peel my eyes away from the screen. It's beautiful, IMHO. Even if you know nothing about the video games, this movie is still worth a watch.

9/10

I have trouble with Scots sometimes too when it comes to understanding them, especially the Glasweigans. Im alright 90% of the time but if the accent is really, really thick it'll go over my head. I understand that video, but not much of the first minute or two I have to admit. I think thats because there are so many voices though, over the top of one another.

Purely Belter (and Billy Elliot for that matter) is set in my part of the world, or not far away at the least. Im from Sunderland but I live roughly in the middle between Sunderland and Newcastle. Ive tried to show people from abroad Purely Belter before but they couldn't understand enough of it. My cousin said most of it went over her head but I think any thick English regional accent confuses her.

I hope Marijan gives Purely Belter a chance as it's such a great little movie.

Marijan will try to give it a shot, but since he couldn't find any subtitles, he will blame you if he doesn't understand any of it. ;)

Incidentally, I watched Breakfast on Pluto and I couldn't understand a lot of it, not just because of the Irish accent, but because they seemed to mumble a lot. That's why I prefer watching films with subtitles no matter what accent they speak with...just in case... :\

Yeah it is. I keep meaning to buy it on DVD but i do have it on video. Tim Healy in particular is great and it's very funny.

"I hope you're proud of yourself you, you big ****in twat!" :)

defiance was sick.

I saw Taken on Saturday, It was also sick.

As in bad? I had to turn it off after half an hour, I just couldn't take a movie with English/American actors speaking English with a Belarussian (Jewish?) accent seriously ...:laughing: Come on...:rolleyes:
