Actually, I still love Rocky, not least because it was one of the first to use all these 'plucky-underdog'-takes-on-the-unbeatable-champ memes, at least in the modern age. What I object to more is that the exact same storyline keeps on popping up again and again, and Marky Mark's new movie jsut looks like more of the…

Jorge Von Salsa - yeah, obviously (SPOILER for 34 year old movie) he loses at the end - but in a very real way, he wins. You know if Rocky Balboa really went up against the world champion heavyweight it would last about 15 seconds.

In a shocking twist, it turns out that the elevator itself is the Devil.

Fincher's Festive Famly Fun!
Jolly Christmas stories from the man who brought you Seven, Zodiac and Paedophiles in Spaaaaace!

Haven't we seen this film before?
Like, about 100000 times already? I'd like to see just one of these boxing movies where the plucky, try-hard underdog steps into the ring with the big bruiser and gets utterly pummeled until he hits the canvas unconscious and bleeding. I don't see why I should give a shit about yet…

William H Macy
Remember when that guy's name on the cast list was practically a guarantee of quality? Seems like aeons ago now.

One of the most genuinely disturbing and fucked up movies ever made. It can't be long before Michael Bay produces a remake with a PG-13 and Jessica Biel in the lead.

Fuck it, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, same fuckin movie.

it's not 'midgets', it's 'little people', you dwarfist bastard

Damn, CC, you made me look that up, just to see if Frankie Boyle had written 24 Hour Party People. Which would have been mental, and awesome. Instead it's Frank Cottrell Boyce, whose overall record is, um, patchy at best, including the craptastic lesbian-in-chains movie Butterfly Kiss, also directed by Michael W.

@ madbeatnik - Yes, please. We'll have Katy Perry too, but only as long as she's naked.

Wait, what? Kyle is leaving too? Oh please, say you're serious and not just winding me up. O frabjous day!

@ Don Staples: No we won't - under current immigration rules, that particular cunt is probably banned from entering the cuntry anyway. However, there is no law to prevent the utter, utter, utter, utter, utter sea of fuckheaded lickspittle cuntishness that is Piers Morgan from leaving and never coming back. This makes…

True, to an extent. What came across from Lost in La Mancha was more that Gilliam liked doing the big artistic stuff, but no interest whatsoever in the nitty-gritty of actually getting the movie made. Arguably fair enough, and it's led to some great movies, but you do get the impression of a guy who's away with the…

In terms of box office, Gilliam either hits it out of the park (Time Bandits, Fisher King, 12 Monkeys) or tanks completely (pretty much everything else). His four completed movies and one uncompleted one since 1995 have lost indecent amounts of money, so it's slightly amazing that anyone still gives him any money at…

Worth watching Lost In La Mancha
Partly because it's an interesting look behind the scenes, and partly because it's as close as we're ever likely to get to seeing Gilliam's Don Quixote movie.

3D is just a gimmick, a sign that Hollywood feels threatened. They brought it out in the 50s, when TV was becoming popular, again in the 80s when home video was killing cinema, and now they feel threatened by downloads and the internet in general.

Luther?
Holy crap, out of all the British shows that could have crossed the Atlantic, someone went with that? I know it's got him off of The Wire in it, but it's really, really bad, with melodrama turned up to 11 and everyone SHOUTING ALL THE TIME. Most British drama shows are pretty dire these days, but this is…

What did happen to the guys who made Blair Witch Project?
Weren't they supposed to change the face of movies or something? Instead, they seem to have vanished off the face of the earth.

You still are a Springsteen fan - once you're in, you can never leave
