Basic

[Dingo]

Starring John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson and Roselyn Sanchez (ah, have your'e attention now then?!!   )

Set in the Colombian jungle, and based around a training mission that goes wrong, this whodunnit has more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing.

Revolving around Travolta and a female wooden lead (whose name escapes me but who's pert botty didn't <_< ) the two investigate what happened when a group of six Rangers and their Sargeant go on a training mission and only two of them to come back alive.

An excellent movie that has you guessing right up to the last few frames with a surprise ending thrown in.

Highly recommended and out to rent on video\dvd now!!

Can't personally say D as I haven't seen it, but it gets terrible reviews so I have shied away from it in the recent past.....

Reviews smooze............a Hollywood Blockbuster it isn't, nor will ever be, but for those who like to use their mind while watching movies (aka Twelve Monkeys, Sixth Sense, Mulholland Drive) without getting too hung up on when the next car chase or visually intense special effects scene will kick in to ensure Cerebal activity, then this is a highly watchable movie.

So, let me get this straight - what you're saying is there's no slo-mo gun fights or hot chicks in small pants?  

Pass.....

That would be Connie Nielsen.

Hardly wooden, she was the female lead  One Hour Photo.

But of more interest to most of the forum members will be the fact that she got butt naked in The Devils Advocate. The same film that also saw Charlise Theron similarly derobed.

This double whammy is the main reason why most sane men consider The Devils Advocate to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Possibly second only to From Dusk till Dawn.

Whoa there trigger.

Edward mit dem Penishanden is the best movie ever. Fact

Fine fine film

The brunettte who plays the Winona Ryder character is a total babe.  

Sadly I have long since lost my copy of that piece of cinema history.  Should you perchance have a copy, then there's a hefty bag of moneys here in exchange....which you can't have. I would buy you a pint at the LAN though.

Google is your best friend and if you do a search for it you can get it for about £10 or less if you buy from the states.

Nope I'm still waiting for Benny to supply me with said film  :unsure:
