The Dean

Note to Scamp: Under Siege has just started on Fox Movies..........

........... I saw Promised Land today - nice little film, low key, beautifully filmed - big energy company trying to buy up parcels of farmland from poor farmers, environmental concerns, cover-ups............. Matt Damon very good indeed, and Frances McDormand is in it - always a bonus. Recommended.

The Dean

.......... oh, and Promised Land is an Image Nation production - which mean Abu Dhabi partly funded it.

The Big Wedding is a decent film with humour. It's a Hollywood remake of a French film called Mon Frere se Marie and stars Robert de Nero, Diane Keeton, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Ana Seyfried, Ben Barnes and some other known faces.

Boobs were edited ouit. It was followed by the sequel, which was even worse than I had remembered...

The Dean

Yes, although it did have a young Katharine Heigl as Steven Seagal's niece, showing an early glimpse of the subsequent hotness she would display to good effect on Grey's Anatomy.........

The Dean

Oh. My. God.

Just starting on OSN Action is '15 Minutes' - perhaps the worst film ever to star Robert de Niro (and yes, I DO remember that 'Rocky and Bulwinkle' garbage). I thought RdN had rounded up all copies and destroyed them, to protect his reputation............

Recommended for those who haven't had their intelligence insulted recently.

Alpha Dog, currently on iPlayer. Some very excellent acting.

Patsy Stoned

I watched that last night..nice feel good comedy.

Meow

Had the feel of the French original, which is usually a good thing.

I want to be Susan Sarandon when I grow up.

Patsy Stoned

ah....doing that scene in the kitchen with Robert de Niro???

Meow

Er, no, not specifically.

Kix

He's a bit short for you meow, anyway, I'm downloading it on your recommendation - hope it's good.

Meow

Stop it. I do not fancy de Niro!

I'm not sure it's your type of film Kix. No explicit sex scenes, no violence, no blood, no guns...

Kix

Hang on, I watched Love Actually and 4 weddings the other day - ON MY OWN!

And then there was Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America" then "Groundhog Day" - two 90s films I revisited.

probably a little late in the thread, but behind Blues Brothers, the second best movie made is Grosse Pointe Blank. not to everyones taste, but why not throw it out there...
