An interesting holocaust film is The Counterfeiters. A german film about the forging of allied bank notes.

Watched Chronicle tonight. Wasn't expecting much to be honest, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure the cultured film buffs who seem to post on here would find it that great, but I really enjoyed it. Just how cool would it be?

Yes, I went to the cinema to see 'Chronicle' with similarly low expectations and came away pleasantly surprised.

Nothing fancy, nothing too deep and meaningful, but, despite this, a really good film.

I thought Chronicle was pretty good up until the final third when it went a bit run-of-the-mill and fell into cliche.

Anyone seen Prometheus yet?

I thought it was pretty enjoyable. By no means a classic but worth watching, just don't pay extra for the 3D, I don't think it adds anything to it.

Just got back from seeing it and was disappointed tbh. Expected another version of Alien which we got in the 1st part, then went all gung-ho and turned into Aliens for the 2nd part. Excellent special effects though. 4/10

De Niro got a new 1 out in 2 weeks which looks quite watchable.

Yup, I too was underwhelmed.

Scott was at pains to stress it's not an Alien prequel and it's a stand alone film. Well, for my money, he's remade Alien just not as good with nowhere near the tension of Alien.

Well made, looks great, well acted but, frankly, watch Alien instead.
