Just finished watching Memento, What a fantastic movie, It starts at the end and ends at the beginning.
The movie is about a guy Named Leonard Shelby, Leonard and his wife get attacked in their home one night by people robbing them, His wife get raped and killed by the robbers and Leonard gets knocked unconscious by the robbers which leads to his short term memory problems.
Now he's out to get revenge on the people who killed his wife.

I finally got around to watching Taken this evening. Was very impressed, one of the best movies i've seen in a while.

Yeah Eva, Taken is an amazing movie, Have watched it 3 times now

I can't stop raving about Taken to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Terrificly good movie. Glad you enjoyed it, Eva.

They`re showing memento on Irish TV tonight J
Saw it a couple of years ago, Guy Pearce is excellent in it.
Good movie

I liked Gran Torino a lot. If left up to me, it would have easily pounded Slumdog for the best picture award. (Although that was a pretty good flick too)

I had read that somewhere as well. I thought that was kind of cool to have him play a bit role like that.

id say Clint is the type of guy that says get that silver spoon out of your mouth,it was a very little part so no favours for the son id say.

I enjoyed Gran Torino as well, but i would have preferred Defiance to either of them.

**moh** · 11-04-2009, 07:02 PM

saw Defiance advertised somewhere must check it out,

**7thsinger** · 11-04-2009, 07:52 PM

Haven't seen that one yet. I'll have to put in on my list.

**iluvendo** · 11-04-2009, 07:54 PM

The new movie "The Spirit", by Frank Miller, seemed kind of strange.
