Haven't had a TV or been to the cinema for ages & need recommendations for recent movies
I've just got a TV and DVD player and want to do some serious DVD shopping. I used to watch a lot of movies and was quite up to date until about 5 years ago. So, I guess that's what I meant by 'recent', for want of a better term.
As far as genres are concerned, I really don't mind, as long as they're a good movie. I do draw the line at soppy romances, but my wife loves them so will take recommendations for them too.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions... T
Oh, and am looking out for good TV series, too. I just had a Homeland 1&2 marathon and thought it was awesome!

I like heavy duty and will check them out on IMDB.
I saw The Reader the other day after borrowing it from a friend and thought it was very well done and thought provoking. I guessed what was going on early - which is a bad habit of mine - but won't say any more to avoid spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
Thanks again. 
they are the multiplex-only, shoot em up, no subtitle types for the most part. The very pictures they avoid are the ones my wife and I crave.
Music, movies, the arts all enhance our lives so much when we give them a chance!
recommendations.
I use rottentomatoes.com a lot to find things that might interest me. Don't know if you plan to sign up for Netflix, but they do a pretty good job of making suggestions after you rate things you have already seen.
Bottom line is, there is so much out there it is overwhelming at times. Much of it is garbage, but there are roses as well.
Good luck!
