Movie recomendations.

Anyone ever seen "A Boy and His Dog" ?

We were talking about it today and decided to try NetFlix for a copy. It must have been Don Johnson's first movie, a sci fi cult classic now, from 1975.

A post-apocalyptic tale. If you haven't seen it...do try and get a copy.

Not for everyone mind you...!!!

I finally got hold of a copy of this from NetFlix. Miserable wet and windy today and the Wigan match not on until 6pm so I watched it.

Outstanding movie, great cinemaphotography showing of how different ethnic people from around the world get to watch the World Cup Final.

You don’t see much football but that’s not the story. LOL at times with some good one liners where you don’t expect them. An Amazon Indian tribe, an Arab camel train in the desert and a Mongolian nomadic family all wanting to see Germany play Brazil.

Well worth the time and effort to get it.

Great film. I thoroughly ejoyed it. The match between the family and the military goons was priceless..


We just watched a movie the other night called Walk Out about the schools boycott in the late sixties started by Chicano students in East LA. An excellent movie.

Strange,but it's a great movie.

Watched The Lookout the other night. Surpisingly (to me) a very good movie.
I really recomend it highly. I had no idea of what it was about when I played it.

Rotten tomatoes says it's the movie to look out for. (Clever huh!)

Low keyed cast, excellent acting. If you need a review... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427470/maindetails

I followed on of LB's recomended last night and watched "The Wind that shook the Barley" Entertaining and good to watch but some people have to remember that it's fiction, based on history. Sad times but Ireland is getting back on track now. One can only hope that the unification of North and South will be a peaceful one, without extremists from both sides running the show.


So many people get their history from fictional movies...How many people believe that the Brits really stuffed churches with rebel Brit women and children colonists and set them on fire during the civil (revolutionary)war we had over here. OK, you can put your hands down now, you were wrong, it was Mel Gibson.

I'm relieved to hear it was just puppies, kittens and children's toys that were stuffed and set on fire.

Just kittens. (and Mel Gibson)
Cute kittens grow up into ********in' cats....Ugh!

Our power went off about 4 pm tonight, so I said to Sharon "Grab your coat, it's dinner and a movie tonight!" I think she beat me to the car.
Grabbed some mexican food and found that the only movie worth watching in our 5 plex that wasn't aimed at kids was "Across the Universe"

If you only go to one movie this year (or next, I don't care) Then go and see this.

IT'S ********ING BRILLIANT, NO SHIT!

If you like Beatles music GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE!

If you like good casting and a movie THAT'S TRUE TO IT'S GENRE Go and see it.

I loved the cameo parts for Hendrix, Joplin, Leary, Kersey's place, Ono. Scenes of Liverpool docks, the Cavern Club.

Takes a guy back in time. If you went to school here or were in the military in 68/69. GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE.

If you go to College now and want to know what it was like then. GO AND SEE THIS MOVIE

Maybe it's because it echoed my coming here in 68 and Living in So Cals beach cities. El Segundo, Redondo (Redildo) Hermosa, Venice, and Santa Monica. Appartments full of students from USC, UCLA and airline employees. (Me!)

I'M KEN LEWIS AND I RECOMEND THIS MOVIE...!!!


We have this one on order with Netflix but I don't know much about it. Other than a scouse lad goes off to America in the late 60's and fall for some for a yank....deja vu. Been there done that..:)
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE This review here isn't that great, but with DVD and a bottle of wine...who knows.
It's a musical anti Viet Nam war thingy....so I'll probably need that wine.

Loved it. From his "this is Anfield" poster, through the cameos by Joe Cocker, Bono as Kesey, etc. The old fella has got this one right!

"Out Of The Blue", starring Karl Urban.
True story.

I watched this the other night. It turned out to be a pretty good movie.

Good suggestion!

Good suggestion!Even if Joseph Gordon-Levitt does look like Harry Kewell.

Yes, just finished watching this movie tonight as well. I liked it, though if you have seen a trailer for it, you kind of already know what's going to happen.

Another movie recomendation from the senior citizen of the Liverpool Football Boards, Camano Island Washington and Liverpool 9.

Entitled "Once" Filmed in Dublin. (So that means LB has already seen it!) A Dublin street busker with a guitar who likes to write his own songs meets an immigrant street hawker from Chechoslovakia who just happens to play the piano, they get group together and do a recording.

Simple but it works, a nicely done movie that won something in the Sundance Film Festival. All original music written by the cast. Good stuff too.

Highly recomended.


Did I ever tell you guys I went to the first Sundance Film Festival in Park City when I worked there as a ski instructor and played footy for the town team?

I'd believe just about anything you'd tell me. ;)

I understand you taught Redford how to act too.

Have seen "Once". Really fine film that does a good job of capturing the changes going on in Dublin while having a really charming romatic touch. I highly recommend it as well.

No but while skiing with him once I did pass on a few pointers.

Had a feeling that you'd seen the film, enjoyable without being sloppy.
