Is “The Boxer” any good, folks…Bale, Adams & Walburg, a fine cast, is it worth me giving up a few hours of my life to watch

42

The Boxer is shite Puke, have heard good things about The Fighter though.

43

Indeed the fighter is a top notch movie
The Irish Americans look like a real collection of muldoons, great casting

Just watched The Fighter there. Thought it was poor.

Sisters were funny enough and I suppose some of the drama around the family was decent but the fight scenes were shite I thought. The whole Neary fight was weirdly done. Just didn’t like it and surprised by all the attention it’s getting.

That was a real documentary they were making during it. You can see it at:

Saw it last night too-very poor alright. The fighting scenes were very unrealistic. Bale and the mother was good, everyone else was mediocre.

46

Just looking at this here on RTE website.

I see “Clash Of The Ash” listed half way down.

Anybody got a copy of that?

47

Ah, it’s on YouTube…

Just watched this on Netflix

Sandler is good in it, you know it’s a Basketball Rocky but it still hits the right notes.

LeBron deserves a mention too as a Producer. The quality of game play is class tbf

Think we got first VHS in 1991. My earliest memory film wise was the Naked Gun film, it was fucking hilarious to us.

Xtravision was the place to be, you’d hang out there, spend fucking ages going through the rows trying to decide what you’d pick.

Then came the Video games and another row to go through.
