Default Good Movies

I was listening to 'Say' by John Mayer earlier and decided to download the torrent file for the movie 'The Bucket List'.

I haven't watched a good move in ages so hoping this will be match the write up I read.
Can anyone recommend any other recent movies that are better than the usual tripe?

And what do I mean by tripe? Any movie like 'About a boy' is absolute bollocks.

Anyone seen Batman 6 yet b.t.w?

The Bucket List is a good one! Another couple current favorites ripped from the torrent sites are

Street Kings w/ Keaneau Reeves

Michael Clayton w/ George Clooney

Saw Batman in the cinema here, was not really my type of movie but the Thai bird loved it.


All the best,

Magoo

Just found this...watch movies online for free - full versions and they reckon it's perfectly legal.

I'm just watching 'Felon' which looks pretty good.

I knew eye couldn't be the only guy who didn't dig that movie.

bb......with the current state of affairs in Hollywood...with everything being targeted for the teenage viewer....batman, the mummy....all the super hero nonsense.....you might want to revisit some of the classics if'n you haven't viewed them.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre....ex-pat goes ting tong in Mexico...

Double Indemnity....Fred McMurray, Edward G. Robinson and Barbara Stanwyck....insurance scam leads to murder.

Only promising new movie on the horizon IMHO opens on September 8th here....Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino star as cops in a NYC murder mystery.

Tommie, I saw Salton Sea the other day and enjoyed it. It was a quirky film that kept twisting and turning and wasn't predictable at all. It had the feel at times of an old pulp crime novel.

I saw that years ago Mack, has Val Kilmer in it. I thought it was a classic movie, never heard of it before , just picked it off the shelf and loved the bejeesus out of it.

Watched 'Taken' today on the watch-movies.net site.
http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/taken_2008/

Pretty good I thought, about a guy who's daughter goes off to Paris to follow the band U2 on tour and gets kidnapped by an albanian gang that traffic women for prostitution.



Quite liked this too.

Young TommieCoughlin had recommended that film as a little sleeper Yusamile so I checked it out and enjoyed it too.

Your memory is still in good shape Yusamile which is a minor miracle after all the alcohol and drugs you did as a youth err... yes, Val Kilmer was in the movie plus Vincent D'Onofrio.

'Salton Sea' trailer (2min.)>>



Have the waves been high enough over in Pookit for you to catch some, Khun HangingSip?

(2 min. 27 seconds... a surfer catches a 64 foot wave)
