Thanks but seen them all, can't strand Jason Statham normally even worse than Michael caine for an american accent, but gotta say one of his better one's, looking forward to the one with him and de niro coming out soon.

The DVD shop in Karacum opposite to Karapasa Estates can get a copy of any film you want ..



The 3 films from the book trilogy "The girl with the dragon tattoo" are excellent .. 12TL to buy ..

I suspect there are a couple of C44 literary contributors re-enacting ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’.

Shutter Island is a good film, although it might be a bit "art imitating life" for some TRNC residents

'The Others' is a really good, creepy film. ' Sean of the Dead' is quite funny as is the 'Hangover'. All the Bourne films are good eg the Bourne Supremacy, the Bourne Ultimatum etc...(lots of action)



You may have seen all these though as they've been out for a while. I recently watched 'The American' which was quite good.

I've not seen it yet but I've heard 'The Hangover 2' is not as good s the first one. Hurt Locker is a brilliant film. The Kings Speech and Black Swan are good too.

The Way Back - is a film starting off in a prison camp in Siberia at the time of Stalin - it is a true story of how some of the inmates escape and their quest to get to freedom

Give Enemy at the Gates a view, well worth it, Unknown Liam N at his usual polished best, good stuff. Hurt Locker not so sure. Some of the others I haven't seen I'll get my order in. Good post cyprusjoker useful.

Havn't seen hurt locker nor black swan will give them a go, never seen Liam Neeson in a bad picture yet, agree enemy at the gates very good, watched The river murders last night with a fat Ray Liotta was quite good, worth renting/buying id say.

I understand from an aquaintance that "btjunkie" is a website is one that you can download most films from.

It is free.

'Taken' with Liam Neeson is good. You may also like 'Inglorious B******s', a Quentin Tarrantino film staring Brad Pitt.



Another good film is 'The Last King of Scotland'. It's brilliant. The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman is supposed to be good but I haven't seen that one.



Again, quite old films. You may have seen them all.

The DVD shop in Alsancak opposite Starlings has a great selection of DVD's with some classic old war/westerns. Cemal is very helpful and usuallly has a seclection at Lambousa on a Saturday but would suggest you visit his shop for a wider selection.

a couple of good movies are Red State, our Idiot Brother, and a really great one is Moneyball, Killer Elite, Horrible Bosses, another good one is Columbiana, a good comedy is 30 Minutes or less, and Tower Heist, and ( an Animation called The Adventures of TinTin which was really well done ) and Bridesmaids, another good one is the Setup, a good Irish one called the Guard, and another is The Debt, that should keep you going for a while they are all good movies.

Don't you just love the way some typos make a film sound comic?



Here's a recommendation for one to give the old heave ho... Sucker Punch. What a lot of over the top nonsense... Just wish we could get the 110 min of time back.
