kingdom of heaven - Good Film, nothing more though.

man on fire - I really liked this film.

life of brian - The funniest film of all time, excellent choice.

bullet proof monk - Never seen it.

casino - Classy film, another excellent choice.

mr and mrs smith - Average film, fairly entertaining.

Life of Brian and Casino are awesome, prepare to watch them both again many times.

Mr and Mrs Smith is a bit average though sadly, watchable but you won't go back again I doubt. Not seen the other three so can't comment.

I didnt like Casino.
Life of Brian is funny the first time you see it.
I have not seen the other ones.

Bulletproof Monk is terrible

Life Of Brian is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Did you go in with high expectations by any chance? I reckon if you think of it as the lightweight fluff it clearly is then it isn't too bad, the storyline isn't too hot but some of the fighting is at least entertaining albeit with a fair bit of wirework.

Of the rest I've only seen Man On Fire which was excellent(has Denzil Washington ever made a bad film?) and Life Of Brian is up there as one of the top comedy films of all time.

Casino I've got to watch but the problem is finding a spare 3 hours to watch it in a oner. I'd quite like to see Mr And Mrs Smith but I don't expect anything brilliant of it.

kingdom of heaven - Thought this was fairly bad, don't like Orlando Bloom.
man on fire - Good film.
life of brian - Can't actually remember seeing it.
bullet proof monk - Not brilliant but found it entertaining.
casino - Very good film, very brutal as well.
mr and mrs smith - Not the best film ever, but entertaining nonetheless.

bullet proof monk - Never seen it. Brilliant action film

mr and mrs smith - Average film, fairly entertaining. Angelina Jolie, that's all you need to know, there doesn't have to be a plot or storyline.
