Max Payne, The Happening, Planet of the Apes? He's had his share. Just as Cage had his share of great movies - Adaptation, LLV, and arguably Kick-Ass. Though obviously the ratio between the two is different as Wahlberg's been lucky enough to get into a Scorsese movie.

Cage has a wider variety of roles than Wahlberg. That's talent.

I quite like subtitles. At least, I prefer them to dubbing. Growing up in the Netherlands though you get used to them really quick, because everything is in English but has Dutch subtitles. On a related note I watched Un Prophete last night after everyone on here raved about it and really enjoyed it. 9/10

Spoiler (highlight to read):
The bit where he's putting the razor blade in his mouth made me cringe though, I kept thinking about swallowing it

Streaming Un Prophete on netflix the only option for me was english subs.. so I had it delivered so i could get it without them.

Do you speak fluent French? Mine is reasonable, but unless you grew up in France I think you'd miss out on the majority of it, just because it's entirely slang which obviously isn't taught in French classrooms.

Close to it. I grew up around french, as it is my dads and his side of the families first language.

Hmm, don't think I've seen that one.

A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack.

Written down in one sentence, Next really sounds retardedly stupid. The movie isn´t as bad though, I quite enjoyed it

Inside Job 7/10

IOUSA was much better tbh

Burlesque - 6/10

Probably deserves better. For a dance movie it isn't that bad, but it stretches some things out longer than necessary and fails to establish a reason for caring about any of the side characters. It's one of those bad movies that somehow manages to be boring while neither being terrible nor making me truly regret the rental.

From rt:

"Yes, it bears absolutely no resemblance to the historical art of burlesque, but that's like complaining Jurassic Park didn't have enough palaeontology in it."

"Burlesque manages what seemed impossible: It is filled with half-naked dancing girls, yet it's still boring."

Rollerball (1975): 7/10



It's been maybe 15 years I saw it the last time, forgot how good of a movie it really is.

la haine (the hate) - 10/10.

for anyone that liked un prophete (or any of the other french films here that i have recommended, to a lesser degree)- YOU MUST WATCH THIS FILM. it brings all of the brilliantly poetic french realism to a new level, and takes a deep and introspective look at life outside of the confines of the prison drama. yet this film is also defined by the justice system in france: civil and social justice and injustice as much as the prison system itself. the prison setting of un prophete (and its religious imagery) casts a menacing spectre over the everyday lives of the central characters in la haine, and their struggles in the outer-city banlieues. set around the parisian riots of the 1990's, la haine is a widely-set study of society in the multicultural european 20th century, and the individual's struggle to define oneself within it and to transcend above it.

really if i had to choose a 'must view' top 5 films of all that i have waxed lyrical about on here... this would be one of them.

(starring vincent cassel as the main protagonist, who you will be familiar with as the manipulative ballet instructor from black swan).

I'll have it Thursday. I need a break from the doco's..

Happy Gilmore - 8/10

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

Technically not a movie.  But damn, that series had more genital shots at one time than almost any porn movie I've ever seen...

After hearing good things in this thread i've been watching the old BBC WWII documentary The World At War.

Yeah it's basically a 10/10 so far. Enormous amount of footage, lots of detail great narration, loads of of interviews with people that were involved. I'm learning a lot about the war.

I'm on episode 15 and I'm definitely going to watch the rest.

The Fighter - without a doubt, a solid 10/10.
