great movie, shocking actor, that whiny little decaprio is just one I cant cotton on to or believe in any way shape or form, bring back the "DUKE" in the likes of true grit back when men were men and the horses were very nervous, many times I've seen him fire fifteen shots out of a sixgun, I'd like to see decaprio do that!!!

alas and alack the good ones are gone!!

Wonker. One of (in my opinion) realy good performance for Dicaprio was his role as an Autistic child in Whats eating Gilbert Grape, We have an Autistic son & this movie he certainly played the part extremly well.   Daryl

I haven't seen that one Daryl, I'll have to get it out on DVD, I am glad it got the stamp of approval from someone who knows what the real situation is.

Dave......hate John Wayne, reminds me of a typical big mouthed Yank (or Ozzie Ocker if you like).  Not my favourite actor.

Saw Avatar and 2012 (5 out of 5) recently, also the Hurt Locker (3 out of 5).....why the hell we are doing in those theatre of wars who knows, don't think they are worth one allied life.........Russians had the sense to get out of Afghanistan years ago because of their losses and waste of time etc.  Still, I suppose there are good reasons not known to the likes of us mere mortals.

Nearly forgot........saw Invictus, like Morgan Freeman and Mat Damon as actors, Rugby/Sport lovers will like it, I enjoyed it too, 3 out of 5.

If I remember rightly Wonker, "Catch Me If You Can" is a true story. I have the book somewhere. I'll double check though, and will let you know if I'm wrong.

Last tuesday we went and seen Shutter Island... wow!!!
He plays a REALLY good part in it and an amazing end to
the movie. We want to see it again now we know the twist at the end!!

Cheers

actually more of a "driving miss daisy" or "guarding Tess" or "the african queen", "one flew over the cuckoo's nest"
