I went cinema earlier to see the new Captain Phillips movie which was based on true events in 2009 where a US cargo ship was Hijacked by Somali Pirates.
The film Stars Tom hanks as Captain Phillips and Barkhad Abdi who plays Abduwali Muse

Some differences between the film and Real life is that Phillips is reported as a Very bad and selfish captain. He ignored pirate warnings 7 in total i believe and crew members said it seemed he had a death wish. He was sued for 50 million by his crew for disregarding their safety throughout the ordeal although he is regarded a hero the crew have mixed reports about the entire ordeal.

All in all i have to say Tom Hanks was on form in this film again. great performance for a good film. i wouldnt rush too see it again and i wont buy the DVD but it was worth watching even though it was a slow film to get into

anyone seen it discuss?:)

Nice quick review, I've seen this move advertised but don't think I'll see it any time soon.

Your thread is a great idea and I think I might make recent movie discussion threads on any movie I see in theatres if there isn't a discussion about it already. The next movie I'm going to watch if I get a chance will be The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and if I do I'll be sure to write my thoughts about it. (I can't promise this though, all depends if my friends want to come see it or not :P)

Thanks . The movie overall was good , it wasn't action packed and I won't watch it again anytime soon but it was worth watching at least . I'm gonna release a walking dead and game if thrones review tomorrow . Hunger games nice , I liked the first film but the second doesn't seem that good to me so far ( I havnt read the books or focused on this series). I enjoyed Battle royal which is an old Japanese film which hunger games has copied off . If you havnt watched Battle royal check it out man it's hunger games with shit loads of violence and blood . It's epic

Nice I might check it out.

Sweet I've watched Game of Thrones and would be glad for there to be a discussion thread about it! Be sure to make that right away :D

I heard good things about The Walking dead, I still need to watch it though
