Good evening and hello everyone... in this thread we will pick a upcoming movie of the coming week to slice and dice and rip to pieces on the forum with the benefit of everyone being able to watch it and join in and rate it.

Our guess dissectors will be myself, Frank and we may add another few if anyone wants to join us.. for this coming week I have identified a couple of choices for our movie..

Micmacs (2009) - I have seen this, it is VERY good.
A video-store clerk survives being shot in the head, but loses his job and his home, while the bullet in his skull could kill him at any time. He falls in with a band of eccentrics living in a junkyard, and puts his new associates' talents to use in bringing down two arms companies. Comedy directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Dany Boon and Andre Dussollier. In French
Category Comedy

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) I have not seen this..
An eccentric marine expert sets out in search of a legendary shark that ate his old friend and shipmate. Unfortunately the voyage is riddled with problems, including a man claiming to be his long-lost son, a pursuing pirate crew and a rival oceanographer. Wes Anderson's comedy drama, starring Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe and Jeff Goldblum

and our final option is this little classic..

Scarface (1983)

Admitted into the inner circle of a Miami drug lord, he ultimately takes over his boss's empire and even his wife. However, his paranoia and cocaine addiction begin to spiral out of control, while his enemies circle, waiting for the chance to bring him down. Gangster thriller remake, with Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Loggia. Including FYI Daily

Micmacs (2009)
I have not seen this and therefore cannot comment.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
This is typical of Bill Murray. It is funny, if you like Bill Murray's humour. It ambles along parodying the real short films and homage to French diving pioneer Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910–1997), to whom the film is dedicated. It's not laugh-a-minute in-your-face humour, but rather quiet subtle humour and may not strike everyone as funny.

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
I have not seen this one, and never intend to.

Scarface (1983)
This is one of those films that you see because it is a classic and you want to be able to say you've seen it, but then you never watch it ever again. Origin of the line "Say hello to my little friend" which was imitated in playgrounds up and down the country.

So are we picking one? or watching all four?
If I were to pick one, it'd probably be Life Aquatic ... with Micmacs as a 2nd choice

Micmacs followed by The Life Aquatic.

Bit busy at the moment so will probably have to record and watch over the weekend.

Good idea though!

Micmas was a surprise delight to me, very much in the vein of delicatessen and city of lost children.. but captivating..

If you can see any other movies coming up, then please do make a suggestion..

I should have made a poll.... lol

I've never seen Micmacs. That's why it's where my vote went.

Remember people it's not a vote about which is the best film. It's a vote for the movie that would be the most interesting to talk about.

Even if you don't want to say anything here, you can always vote then lurk to see what we say.

The lesbians aren't heavy at all. They just the right weight for their height.

I got my bag of popcorn from Thargoid's. I'm not looking at the sell-by date.
