They usually end up sounding Leprechauny lol

Tell us the good Scottish accents Happy, cuz I'm afraid I'll mention some that you despise!

Well Christopher Lambert's attempt has to be the worst, right?

What was Neeson's like in Rob Roy, or Gibson's in Braveheart?

Well, in my opinion Mel's wasn't too bad (there were obviously a few words where you could hear a hint of something else) but overall he was pretty good.

I can't remember too much about Rob Roy but I'm pretty sure Neeson more or less spoke with an Irish accent with a wee bit of Scottish through it..

Did DiCaprio not have a p!ss poor Irish accent in Gangs of New York?

Yeah, I could hear Neeson's Irish accent coming through alright, but sure they're not too dissimilar so he could get away with it.

Eh, who else?

Johnny Lee Miller's in Trainspotting? He's English really, right?

he sounded American to me from what I remember, was he putting one on?

Brad Pitt in The Devils own was fairly brutal too, although I thought he did well with the Traveler accent in Snatch. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in far and Away.............awful

Yes, it was a put on Irish accent but not a very good one (IMO anyway) I would have actually expected more from him!

ChristmasNeeve · 04-06-2010, 01:35 PM

Julia Roberts in Michael Collins, awful,awful,awful

I really can't remember it too well at all tbh

I know that we're forgetting some truly rubbish ones here.

Is it really embarrassing for me to admit on a public forum that I really enjoyed Far and Away?

But yes I agrre with their accents... bloody awful!

setanta · 04-06-2010, 01:39 PM

Far and Away is brutal stuff Happy. Every Irish cliche is just flung at you. Still though, I can understand why people would find it entertaining.

*hangs head*

To say in my defence, I saw it years ago when I was much younger and more stupid... I may think it's crap nowadays....

The Book of Eli.
Good film with a neat little twist at the end.
8/10.

SoberLikeGizmo · 04-06-2010, 09:59 PM

Rec part 2.

Was a suprise good sequel with some good moments to it. Myabe not as good as the first movie, but still a decent film.

The ending was good and a bit of a cliffhanger, so hopefully a thrid one is being made.

4/5

Callum · 06-06-2010, 11:29 AM

Coraline

8/10 really liked it, could've been a bit better I thought but it was a good adaption of the book.
