It's a great ending, the dialouge at the coffee shop is top-notch, everytime you think the fat guy is done for he comes storming back. Had me laughing into the credits.

Eagle Eye was a decent movie until the end. When it turned into a huge **** cloud that rained on my entire day. What a waste of half of a good film.

one of the best gangster films i've seen lately, really makes me want to read the book. well done all around.

The British DVD cover is way cooler:

Solid film though. Get Carter and The Long Good Friday beat it hands down for best British gangster film but it's definitely one of the best of the last few years.

The book was actually really good, one of those rare ones where the movie is just as good if not better than the book.

While we're on the subject of British gangster movies, I watched this one last night, but I need to go back and watch it again because I was distracted by work.

The Limey does take a couple of watches for sure. The fractured editing is brilliant but infuriating for some.

Is it me............?

I know, it looks retarded, but it's not that sort of movie.

Every now and then I got through a phase where I like to watch conspiracy documentaries. I think the problem with this one (besides the obvious) is that it tried to blend two different schools of thought into one body. On the one side you have the Obama haters who think he's a liar, the other side you have the group of conspiracy nuts who believe he's the puppet for a New World Order. The people that make up the first side generally don't believe the idea of a covert shadow government made up of International Bankers is out to create a United World Government, and thus think that the documentary is just about the lies that Obama has allegedly told. They then see the documentary fold out into a huge global conspiracy theory and are immediately put off. It killed two hours of time and I can't say that I've watched worse, but I did take everything it said with a grain of salt. That said it did rekindle my urge to learn how to safely own and operate a firearm as well as learn at least one form of martial art.

Really a beautiful film.

The Dillinger flick - "Public Enemies". I wasn't super excited to see it and it exceeded expectations.
I definitely learned some things and it was was an entertaining 2 hours.
It was well done and not overdone. I think the cast was good all around from Depp and Bale, to the female lead and the guy who played Hoover.
The Tommy Gunns sounded great. They always make me think of Topper Headen and Joe Strummer. I wonder if they really sounded just as they did in the film.

Oh I also saw Changeling on DVD recently. I also enjoyed that more than I expected.
I didn't realize it was directed by C. Eastwood (and orig. to be dir. by R. Howard but he had a sched. conflict).
The ensemble was good in this one too from Jolie, to her friend in the hospital, to the police chief, to the child from Canada (I don't want to give anything away).
And it was also an unexpected pleasure to see J. Malkovich in an interesting supporting role.
