(whore @ Mar. 05 2010,22:38) I downloaded The Hurt Locker on piratebay the same week it was released and it was a perfect copy. A great film too.

Men who stare at goats was very good aswell. Another one not getting a mention is Harry Brown starring Micheal Cain. I went to see that one in the cinema and thought it was good. A great performance by Cain. It could be described as a British version of Gran Torino.

Am downloading Green Zone aswell. Have always been a Matt Damon fan since the Jason Bourne films, which El_Hefe if you have not seen would be a good choice. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremecy, and The Bourne Ultimatum. Word is Robert Ludlum is writing another Jason Bourne book to be made into a film. He is the american version of James Bond, only 100 times better.

It will be written by a ghost writer then as Ludlum died in 2001.

The title fooled me. The new Jason Bourne book is titled "Robert Ludlums The Bourne Deception" written by Eric Van Lustbader. I came across it in the bestsellers list in the Sunday Times. After abit of googling it turns out there is 7 in total in the Bourne series. Hopefully they will make them all into films and at some stage Jason Bourne meets James Bond and gives him an ass whipping.

P.S. Here's my list of 20 "best pictures" I saw in 2009:
1. "Troubled Water" (see above)
2. "Everlasting Moments" - A wife in the early 20th century wins a camera and it changes her life (from Sweden).
3. "Captain Abu Raed" - This first feature from Jordan tells the story of an airport janitor who the neighborhood kids believe is a pilot.
4. "Che" - A brilliant, unexpected mega-film about Che Guevara by Steven Soderbergh.
5. "Dead Snow" - The scariest film I've seen in a while about zombie Nazis abandoned after World War II in desolate Norway.
6. "The Great Buck Howard" - A tender look at the life of an illusionist, based on the life of The Amazing Kreskin starring John Malkovich.
7. "In the Loop" - A rare hilarious satire, this one about the collusion between the Brits and the Americans and their illegal war pursuits.
8. "My One and Only" - Who woulda thought that a biopic based on one year in the life of George Hamilton when he was a teenager would turn out to be one of the year's most engaging films.
9. "Whatever Works" - This was a VERY good Woody Allen film starring the great Larry David and it was completely overlooked.
10. "Big Fan" - A funny, dark film about an obsessive fan of the New York Giants with a great performance by the comedian Patton Oswalt.
11. "Eden Is West" - The legendary Costa-Gavras' latest gem, ignored like his last brilliant film 4 years ago, "The Axe".
12. "Entre Nos" - An mother and child are left to fend for themselves in New York City in this powerful drama.
13. "The Girlfriend Experience" - Steven Soderbergh's second genius film of the year, this one set in the the post-Wall Street Crash era, a call girl services the men who brought the country down.
14. "Humpday" - Two straight guys dare each other to enter a gay porn contest -- but will they go through with it?
15. "Lemon Tree" - A Palestinian woman has her lemon trees cut down by the Israeli army, but she decides that's the final straw.
16. "Mary and Max" - An Australian girl and and elderly Jewish man in New York become pen pals in this very moving animated film.
17. "O'Horten" - Another Norwegian winner, this one about the final trip made by a retiring train conductor.
18. "Salt of This Sea" - A Palestinian-American returns to her family's home in the West Bank, only to find herself caught up in the struggles between the two cultures.
19. "Sugar" - A Dominican baseball player gets his one chance to come to America and make it in the big leagues.
20. "Fantastic Mr. Fox" - A smart, adult animated film from Wes Anderson that at least got two nominations from the Academy.

Well I cracked last night, gave up on trying to download Green Zone, broke into the piggy bank for B120 and watched it on the big screen. I enjoyed it for what it was and given what is coming out in the Chilcott Enquir at the moment fiction is sometimes less scary than the possible truth. Downloaded the first episode of The Pacific today, looks like its gonna be a good series.

(El_hefe @ Mar. 08 2010,02:53) The Naked Prey  Sorry not about ladyboys in hotel rooms    
A safari does something wrong & a local tribe captures & punishes them. They strip & give the Afrikaaner guide, Wilde, a head start & then send a hunting party after him. That's pretty much sums it up, a solitary man has to get from point A to B & avoid being killed. Very little dialogue, lots of action I recall, shot on location in Africa on a modest budget, sort of a predecessor to the original Mad Max & Rambo in a way.

All,

El Jefe is right, "Naked Prey" (1966) is excellent. Saw it when I was barely a teenager, if I recall correctly...

[Ladyboy_Floyd]

Gentlemen,

For your consideration:

A Clockwork Orange (1971): Nominated for 4 Oscars. AFI Top-100 #46. In future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge is jailed and later volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem... but not all goes according to plan. Brilliant use of music to advance the plot, as in Kubrick's immediately-preceding crowning achievement, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Brilliant, Swiftian social satire

Spirited Away (2001): Oscar-winner. In the middle of her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monsters; where humans are changed into animals. She must embark on a quest that will reveal her innner resources, restore her parents to human form, and return them all to the world they knew, although she will be forever changed.

Hayao Miyazaki's undoubted masterpiece, and a film with amazing parallels to The Wizard of Oz

Fellini's Satyricon (1969): Nominated for Oscar. [The film is loosely based on the book Satyricon attributed to Petronius Arbiter, and dated to the time of the rule of Nero (37-68 AD). The book is considered to be one of the first, if not the first, novels to have been written, but has only survived in fragments. The film imitates this by being fragmentary itself, leaving gaps between events, and even stopping in mid-sentence.

Mind-bending film that could only have come from Fellini

[Ladyboy_Floyd]

Gentlemen,

Not sure why the first two movie posters didn't stick. Sorry.

[Ladyboy_Floyd]

Gentlemen,

Here they are...

(rayton @ Mar. 10 2010,11:09) Sling Blade, nice eerie drama from 1996 i just found with good billy bob thornton performance

I agree with you. Sling Blade is a fine movie and Billy Bob's performance was superb. He definitely should have won an Oscar for that role. He is just a great actor in everything I've ever seen him in. Some people who don't know ahead of time, won't recognize the Karl Childers character as being played by him.

One time, a friend was visiting and we were watching movies. I put in two Thornton movies back to back. The Alamo, where he gives the best performance of a believable Davy Crockett that I have ever seen, followed by Sling Blade. My friend had Thornton fresh in his mind from The Alamo, but we were halfway through Sling Blade before it dawned on him that Karl was Billy Bob.
