Have you seen zombieland? He's in that and I was surprised by that film it's a bit cheesey but I thought it was ok

I've written a few sentences trying to describe it but I can't; just watch it.

It's looooong but good some of the cinematography is gorgeous. One of the main guy's British and used to be in some sitcom called game on ages ago. There's a bunch of famous guys but there only in it for a bit, I think the first cut was something ridiculous like 7hours long.

I really didn't like inglorious basterds (although one german character was pretty good but I think that was more down to the actor) and I've found i used to like his films on first viewing but then after a second watch I think he's trying too hard.

You can't really call Casino Royale a remake, the first was a Peter Sellers spy spoof!
My recommendation would be Apocalypse Now (either redux or the original)
When it comes on tv I never want to watch it but if i watch about a minute I have to watch it all. It's got this weird mood about it that sucks me in.
But you've seen it haven't you K but not redux?
Children of Men is pretty good but I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic films.
Shit that reminds me I still haven't seen 'The Road'! Is that still out on general release? (Amazing book btw)
In Bruges is an awesome black comedy/drama thing, Colin Farrell (yes him really) is really good in it.
Anything by Pixar apart from Cars and Bugs life (and maybe the toy stories)
Seriously, the amount of work that goes into those films is daft but that might just be because I did animation at uni
