Default I'm watching 127 hours!

It's gripping stuff!

It's been given 8.5 on the IMDB.

I will let you know more when it's finished.

Anyone planning on watching it?

It's got pretty good reviews. I'll wait till it's out on Blu-ray.
BTW turn your phone off while your in the cinema.

Is this some cctv footage of a guy after the pub, walked home, makes a mess, shouts at the neighbor, fock the kitchen up and turn the central heating off because why would you need that on this tine of night, hence the moody faced cow for a few days.

or

the guy with his arm.

Well, just paused for another beer. It reallyis chilling, to think what this guy went through.

Me and Mr P are having a bet on who could do the same in that situation. Of course we both think, yeah.... Of course we could! Lol

A wicked film. Even saw a bit of a tear in Mr P's eye at the end.

Pretty horrific to think of what he went through, and what he did.

The best film I have watched for a while. Not too long either.

Just watched too.
Much better than i expected, we enjoyed it and had the same 'could you??' discussion. We both agreed, you would have to.

7.5/10 but i'm no film buff by a long chalk.

Watched this one last night and really enjoyed it too - some great scenery in some of the shots too - all filmed in Utah I believe.

Didn't drag at all, and the ending was really satisfying as well - defo worth a watch!

Just got back from seeing this! Very good I thought, very thought provoking, what would you do if in the similar situation! When it first happened I felt very claustrophobic! It's filmed really well too, makes it so much better being a true story! Having the same Chopper pilot was a nice touch too! 8/10 from me
