  1. You can laugh at Mark Henry all you want, but he is certainly one of the main reasons that ECW has been so watchable. He has gained so much experience while on the brand. It's amazing that he's improved more in the last year or so than he did in the 12 years preceeding it.

    Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Edge, The Great Khali, Jeff Hardy, John Morrison, Kane, Rey Mysterio, Shelton Benjamin, The Undertaker, Umaga

    Each and every on of those wrestlers I have highlighted are absolutely dire. The Great Khali has no personality & no wrestling ability he is the poor mans Big Show or Andre.

    John Morrison is decent in the ring & decent with the mic but that is all he ever will be is decent.

    WWE have single-handedly ruined Kane whether it was allowing him to talk, unmasking, Lita, Katie Vicks. He has became just a total jobber that deserves no respect especially when he got beat from Heidenrich.

    Should I even start on Umaga?

    Edge, Shelton Benjamin, Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio are mid table wrestlers at BEST. Sure Jeff Hardy is an amazing wrestler but he just doesn't fit the criteria of what you would expect of a top guy. Edge is a good wrestler but he becomes so tedious after a while. His mic skills are so one dimensional it is unbelievable, although I do rate Edge and acknowledge that may be WWE's fault rather than him.

    Rey Mysterio is a class wrestler and a great entertainer but he should never be able to get near a World Title especially when he is coming up against people like Big Show, Khali & Kane and WINNING! I know that the WWE is just there to entertain but the show must have limits. When Hogan beat Andre it was a classic moment in wrestling history. Now when the biggest guy gets beat by the smallest guy in the company there is no shock - no entertainment.

    Chris Jericho & CM Punk (From what I've heard about him) are the future of WWE especially now that the two big guys in the business are beginning to contemplate retirement (Shawn Michaels & Taker).

    Maybe it is just me that is stuck in my ways of watching Wrestling of yonder and the fact that it is aimed at a younger generation now but WWE for me anyways just offers nothing. Not even the excitement I used to feel when watching someone like The Rock or Jake the Snake is the same and that is why I stopped watching.

    I am well aware most will disagree but that is my tuppence.

  2. For me the middle group is the best. Obviously that is biased as I see the attitude era as the best era in wrestling. I can however see plenty of potential in the new group to get to that level...JoMo(to steal DomDom's name :P ), MVP, CM Punk, Swagger, Bourne, Tyson Kidd(especially if they push him as the protege of Bret), Ted Jr, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin. Not all of them will make it, but in my opinion each of them has a shot.

    If it came down to wrestling ability alone then the middle group is the best hands down. However, Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior and the like had an exceptional ability to entertain which as you probably know was what built The Ultimate Warriors huge fan base and 'Hulkamania'. This new breed seem to be one dimensional and terrible on the mic. And when there is a star who is good on the mic it has to be the most annoying human being in the world that is John Cena.

    This and the fact that WWE seem to just be targeting younger audiences put me right off wrestling as a whole.

  3. Is it just me or are WWE Main Event superstars getting worse:

    Edge

    Jack Swagger

    Christian

    Matt & Jeff (Good Mid-Tablers)

    Batista

    Rey Mysterio

    Compare this to these:

    Benoit

    Rock

    Stone Cold

    Kurt Angle

    And Then Compare These To This:

    Hogan

    Ultimate Warrior

    Ted Di Bias

  4. 1 thing says "shite" before it even starts. Starring Jodie Foster.

    The woman can't act, she's a female David Caruso! (without the sunglasses!)

    EDIT: I actually saw another film which is almost exactly the same, sans the plane, about a little girl who "goes missing" but doesn't really exist. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Takes places in the city, and her mother sees her on the swing set near her apartment.

    She is fantastic in the Silence of the Lambs :D

  5. Serpico - 10/10 No need to explain!

    The Untouchables - 10/10 As above

    Narc - 9/10 Never gonna be a classic but still a brilliant film!

    IMDB users rate The Dark Night as the Best of the Top 250 list of all time. Not saw it yet but a superhero film compared to the Godfather and Shawshank Redemption, surely this is just the publicity this film has gathered as it was Heath Ledger's last. Not saying it won't be brilliant but the best EVER, highly unlikely IMO!

  6. My point being that I can't post spoilers on a film everyone has seen. Not that what I posted earlier was a spoiler anyway <_<

    So your saying that every single person that views this thread has seend Oldboy?

    And I never said what you posted was a spoiler I said, I didn't want to give too much away so I just copied the outline of the plot from the TV Guide.

    And sorry for the North Korea/Japan thing :)

  7. Can't remember why he gets imprisoned, you obviously weren't paying a lot of attention to it were you, the kidnapper tells him to try to find out why he was imprisoned and gives him a time limit to do it in.

    I just copied what it said out of the TV Times (I shortened it down however missing the things that weren't needed) so that I wouldn't be giving any spoilers away numbnuts <_<

  8. Oldboy

    Very good film, slow at points but hey that's part of the magic that is Asian cinema.

    Beasically it's about a man who has been kept in a prison for 15 years and then suddenly gets released so he decides to hunt down his jailor as hecan't remember why he was imprisoned!

    Must watch film if your a fan of japanese cinema 8/10.

    Pathology

    A film with so much talent but delivers SO little it has a nice few plot turns but is ultimately a borefest however, Peter Petrelli is in it :P which was how I hear about it. Worth a scout if your in the mood but definitely below average! 4/10!

  9. 21

    Good film. Slow at times but has a great climax and has a few no bad twists in store. Not everyones cup of tea but the film is definitely above average. 8/10 for me, however since this film is a film you have to listen to every word it may drop in my ratings to a 7 not quite decided yet!

    This film is definitely not for everyone but for the people who are into these type of films definitely a must watch!

    Final Score 7/10

  10. I watched Battle Royale again the other night. It's a great film.

    I haven't seen the sequel though, not sure if I fancy it. Has anyone seen it?

    Battle Royale, class in a glass the sequel is VERY VERY poor, so bad I only watched half of it. Although other people liked it, it felt like a straight to DVD release after a highly successful movie which it probably was :P
