Movie Favorite

"I saw it on TV again recently and was just bowled over by it. In it's own way it's very intense: you've only basically got seven characters and they're all in same set up. There's very little break out from the library where they're all stuck. And so you really get the character development and the inter-relationships, and you really get to the heart of the kind of teenage cruelties and the way it all dissolves with their common plight. It's a very clever film. It's one of those films that creates a whole genre, not all of which I like – St Elmo's Fire, for example, was so sentimental it made me want to puke, but The Breakfast Club isn't like that. It's taut and it's very much about the teenage condition."

"When I was a little older I came across Spacemen 3. It was a time of my life that feels quite vivid now – before Supergrass and even before [pre-’Grass outfit] The Jennifers, so I was about 12 maybe. It’s that time when you’re crossing over from cheesy chart stuff: I think I’d bought a Huey Lewis & The News single just a few years before because of Back To The Future and my brother had Rock Me Amadeus by Falco; that end of the 80s when things were pretty ropey. So Playing With Fire was a huge album for me. It was very intense and drawn-out, there were no three-minute pop songs, and it didn’t play by the rules. I just thought, and still do think, it was such a cool record."

Obsession

Fear- is a good thriller, Mark Walhberg does a good job as the obsesser. He is a mix between Norman Bates, Patrick Batman, Jack Torrence and Max Cady. A psychopath that cant be stopped.

The plot: When 16-year-old Nicole Walker (Reese Witherspoon) meets 23-year-old David McCall (Mark Wahlberg) at a Seattle nightclub, she falls in love. David is exciting and charming, and despite the wide age gap, he wins over Nicole's family -- except for her workaholic father, Steven (William Petersen), who's suspicious of David from the start. His concerns are realized when David turns out to be a violent sociopath who sees Nicole as his possession, and her family home a fortress to be invaded.

Its a intense movie and it does a good job been a thriller

Dragged across the 2 hour mark (and then some)

Ok so after seeing the nicely executed movie blood father starring Mel Gibson, I honestly thought this was gonna be another decent movie in his comeback.

Instead what we actually got was a ridiculously Slow, Boring, slightly Violent, Intense in-car talking, Graphic, Forgettable let down.

Also starring vince Vaughn who should seriously stick to terrible comedies (except for Dodgeball) this is a movie that may or may not be about consequences of you actions and so bad you'll ask yourself once again why Gibson won't say yes to lethal weapon 5?

I mean come on, we paid to see die hard 5, we'll pay to see whatever crap that throws at us.....
