Lightbulb Recommend me some good recent films....

I've heard "the butterfly effect" is pretty good.

Anything else?

I thought Kill Bill vol 2 had too much talking.

It's very average, the sort of thing thats worth watching but only once. Not particularly funny but a few bits which will make you smile.

5/10

Spiderman 2...bit pants:

To much boring stuff (my 7 year old fell asleep!)

To many STUPID plot nonsense

and Spiderman is not Superman........they have him doing stuff and being slapped about in a way that would kill him.

ohhhh...and it rips of Superman 2...badly!

S&H is ok, much better on dvd than at the cinema (even if the dvd is cut slightly).

Not seen SP2 yet, might get my *** down there.

The remake of "The Manchurian Candidate" is meant to be good, so I'll probably see that soon.

Watched Hell Boy tonight. Superb. Best Comic to film since Superman.

Kill Bill 2 is slow and boring.

Hired Starsky and Hutch last night - what a pile of sh*te ! Even the 'gag reel' wasn't funny !!!

Avoid at all costs.

Hellboy gets my vote though, as long as you remember it's a comicbook\fantasy film.

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind with Jim Carey - best film of the year so far for me, closely followed by Harry Potter, Prisoner of Azcaban.

I, Robot - very good.

The Bourne Supremacy looks good too but I'm hold off as I've not seen the first one yet.

Another vote for American History X - a few years old but excellent.

Saw I,Robot last night

If you can tolerate the ridiculous Audi produce placement all the way through the film, it is worth going to see.

A little bit like the A Team in places, but good special effects.

saw gothica last night.....what a load of cack!

the twist is obvious from the start, there is no explanation for what the main person is said to have done, it makes no sense....all nonsenses.

its like "i see dead ppl" crossed with some straight to video prison flick!

Agreed Gothica is crap

Some good ones are The Station Agent, Anything Else, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Better Luck Tomorrow, Spartan.

Worth watching, The Girl Nextdoor, 50 First Dates, Ghost World, Taking Lives, Hidalgo, Along Came Polly (Philip Seymour Hoffman is great), 25th Hour.
