Anyone seen Pursued (1947)?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039737/

Recommendation or should I pass? Please say if it ends depressing or something. 

no.

Any particular reason for your interest though?

If it's because of Raoul Walsh, I'd suggest strating with White Heat or The Roaring Twenties.

If it's because of Robert Mitchum, I'd recommend Out of the Past, The Big Steal, Night of the Hunter, Crossfire or Cape Fear.

If it's anohter reason, ignore the above :) 

Oh, it just "became available" if you know what I mean. Don't know any of those names or movies.

Opinions? I really like some his other movies. 

very good first half, below average second half, above average on the whole. 

Seen Tropic Thunder from a few years back? ;) 

no, but its in my monstrous unwatched pile though... 

Oh, leave it there, it is awfully bad. 

Kicked many of the butts. Mwh commmented he was grinning the whole way through - I was exactly the same.

It's nowhere near as controversial as some have made out. If you wrote down some of the things that happen in the film it would sound pretty extreme, but the overall tone is very comic book.

The real great thing about the film is that it's the first 'superhero' film i've seen that doesn't have that smoothed-over, focus-group friendly hollywood gloss. You can be pretty sure of that if a 9 year old girl is kneecapping people and calling them cunts.

Other things that were good - Nicolas Cage's voice he puts on when he's in costume, which is classic Adam West Batman. The main dude does a good job, likeable guy, I hadn't seen him before. His love interest is smoking hot. MArk Strong is a great baddie as always.

Can't think of anything too negative to say, it's really a good ride and a lot of fun. Minor things... McLovin isn't great in it. The main romantic plot is a bit shaky, although it's possibly referencing lots of comics I haven't read.

Anyway, awesome. Might pick up the comic. 

Book of Eli

Bit odd, this one. Some of it is vaguely interesting post-apocalyptic stuff, the fights are _extremely_ comic book and, well, as an atheist I found it a bit hard to care about carting a bible around.

Moon

Quite good, thoughtful film. Probably a plane isn't the best place to see it.

State of Play

A good thriller, although it looks like it's going along very predictable lines for about three quarters of its length.

Sherlock Holmes

(A repeat viewing) I enjoyed this. It's probably not best to stop and think about it too much, but after 20 hours on planes, I wasn't very inclined to do that... 

although will wathc again some other time.

Liked State of Play, although it probably had one twist too many.

Sherlock Holmes is also in the pile, although I'm really not expecting much. 

High Plains Drifter (1973)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068699/

Not very good. Awful music/noise. Definitely not watching again. 

although dont remember the music/soundtrack.

Not great but I thought it was definitely very good and well worth watching. 

Kiss Kiss Bang Band
What nitin said: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=3545&start=1447&end=1447

Really bad. 

Loved it. Awesome action scenes, particularily the scene where Nicky Cage shoots up a load of gangsters in a warehouse.
Also had some good twists in it, and some very funny parts.

Also was very inpressed with The Uninvited (american version ?), the twist at the very end blew my mind. 

Tale of Two Sisters remake?

And spirit, I think I saw that again some two years afterwards and actually thought it was ok, probably because I knew what was coming and didnt have any expectations. 

L4D2 film yaaaargh. Good fun, plenty of humour and good zombie action, but the bit in the middle especially Bill thingies house dragged on and felt like filler, could have gone for more action and more dark humour there. 

generic action, not very funny and definitely not scary. Much preferred Shaun of the Dead. 

That might be so, but it still had zombies. 

IMHO. 

Oh god no. 28 Weeks was horrible, completely cheese ridden, holywood-ised traversty after the wonderful isolation of 28 Days. Altho the free/clean area/city was a cool idea.

And for awesome zombie-ness, watch Dead Set (5 part series, ~40 minutes per episode, basically an extended movie). In terms of cinematography/zombies then it's very modern zombie film styled (a la 28 Days), but in terms of the plot/social commentary all the cues come straight from Romero (George, not John).

And it has Davina McCaul being zombiefied! (UK TV reference) 

Dead Set was cool, good ending.

see I hated 28 days, I thought that that was cheesy in its execution (even though some of the ideas were good), especially the last 1/3.

I much preferred 28 weeks. 

Hating 28 Days/Weeks but loving Shaun of the Dead is grounds for having your opinion of movies ignored forever. Just FYI!
