I think I must be the only person in Oz that hasnt seen it.

Not all that into war movies so still undecided!

Definitely see it.

It's just that I get a bit pissed off when the publicity machine promises me the cinematic experience of a life-time, but then it's all downhill when you actually see it.

But these things are very subjective, so don't be influenced by me.

And as someone from the 50's when there were actors of real merit and depth to their character and screen persona, it pisses me off greatly to watch very 'B'-Grade actors like Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and a whole host of others being touted as 'Stars' instead of the very shallow tradesmen that they are.

I won't be watching 'Ryan' for a second time, unlike movies such as link which I never tire of watching again and again.

"It is believed that over 130 people were killed by the two lions in just a few months".

Lemme guess - "The Ghost and The Darkness" - great movie....

Great scary movie Herb is

"No Country For Old Men"

Talk about evil bastard, makes you shiver in your seat.

But you will watch it again and again!

My theory is, ....he's a moslem!!

"No Country For Old Men"

Good movie.

Thing about Cormac McCarthy here is he left it hanging... I was wondering if there's be a sequel in which the walking embodiment of evil Mex and the old Sheriff fought it out...

Thing is - McCarthy's striving for real life and its brutality shows the simple truth that 'good' does not always triumph over 'evil'...

Hence the title.... very good film....

Oh - as for Corporal Upham at the end.. he shot only the 'bad' German, leaving the rest... any grunt who had seen those bastards shoot the wounded in cold blood etc would have killed the lot, lit a smoke, and pissed on their twitching bodies...

YTF would Upham allow those SS guys to walk away after Captain Miller died at the hands of the one HE allowed to walk away before?

Lions aren't supposed to be able to climb trees .....

I'll say no more. No more spoilers.

And of course, these delinquent pair of psychotic lions didn't give a rat's arse about the bleating goat tied to a stake. Hunger had nothing to do with their little games.

I'll say no more.

And ... okay okay ... enough!
