Ooops my bad crucial word would be "new"
Master & Commander! 9/10.
Seen it loads, easy watching.
the station agent was good.
watched some bmx films today.
up up and away-sunday.nice music,some stuff filmed here in bcn so I can have a look at the spots and mince around.nice music.7.sick riding.
synopsys-micreation.bit mellow/empty.didn't actually notice any music.5.good riding.
oss football.nice vibe,great music,just positive.7.5.I think that was filmed here in bcn too.but then again,they do all resemble each other a bit.
bmx films have better music than mtb films,to my ears.
plus it's nice to see the lads happy at getting something right,or throwing hissy fits when they don't.you don't really get any of that with full facers.but then again,riding with just a beanie seems mental to me.
fantastic mr fox
8/10
very good animation
precious.damn fine.and pretty harsh.excellent acting,9/10,at least.

paula patton is gorgeous,and looks exactly like a girl I used to know...
Dead Snow. 4/10. I knew it would be shite but I didn't realise it would be that bad. But it gets points for the Ein Zwei Die tagline, hanging off the cliff via zombie intestines, and the people getting ripped in half.
TT-closer to edge....If you like motorbikes (and Guy Martin) 10/10.
Senna...If you like racing cars (and Senna) 10/10.
Ride the Divide...If you like bikes (and riding across america) 10/10.
I seem to be on a bit of a roll!!
Just finished watching [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363771/ ]The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe[/url] loved it so 9/10
The Girl Who Played with Fire
Rather overrated. Why didn't the giant freak kill the pair of them at the end?
Goonies
9/10
Sherlock Holmes 2
8/10
Cheesey & homoerotic in the best possible way.
Just watched The Inbetweeners Movie
Made me laugh 8/10
For some reason I just watched Captain America.

An absolute fantastic display of a hollywood cliche. Super dull, must've taken real skill to put Hugo Weaving and Tommy Lee Jones in a film and still have me wondering how much more I'd have to endure.
3/10.
Went to watch the improbably named Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol today.
It's MI done by JJ Abrams, which should tell you all you need to know. It's bloody tremendous, go see it.
Something high out of ten or five or some such, I don't do ratings.
I just finished Batman Begins, which I somehow missed when it came out. Pretty good... Something I'm always banging on about is that the best CGI in the world always looks crap after a year or two, but modelwork doesn't date. And here's a nice modern film without too much CGI, to prove me right.
Good plot, good performances... A little bit of absolute ridiculousness but then, it's a comic.
Mesrine Part I & II. Superb films, highly recommended
I have just endured Mr Poppers Penguins, it was the 'family'(wife's) Christmas movie of choice this year, in the spirit of the evening I shall give it a 5, would I watch it again? Nope.
Still this was the wind down to the afternoons entertainment of the Christmas panto at MK, less said about that the better 😉
Happy Xmas one & all.
8/10, although the vodka i was drinking may have affected me.
watched tt closer to the edge yesterday, 10/10
watched senna a few weeks ago, 10/10
struggling to think what was the last one before those tbh.
In the last week have watched:
[b]Four Lions[/b] - odd, dark, tragic but funny.
[b]Due Date[/b] - run-of-the-mill comedy gumf in the line of The Hangover but without the OTT shock factor. Forgettable, switch-your-brain-off comedy, good for a laugh.
[b]The Adjustment Bureau[/b] - Inception lite. Interesting concept though, worth a watch.
[b]Buried[/b] - excellent film, massive step up by Ryan Reynolds. Can't say too much about why it was so good without giving away plot spoilers, but an excellent film.
[b]Black Swan[/b] - Got this as the sixth in a 6 for $16 deal at the local DVD shop as a token chick flick for the wife, having got the four films above and one other I can't even remember, such was its impact on me. Anyway, WOW! Totally blown away by this, it's a seriously powerful film. Best I've seen in ages, really really dark but enthralling. Never would have thought I'd like it but this is the first film in years that has emotionally moved me. Highly recommended.

perfume,tykwer.
can't decide what was worse,the acting or the script.
4/10.
should have remembered lola runs,by tykwer,another film made by stretching a simple idea much too far.
the book was allright.but this was shite.
this always cheers me up.
full movie over at unofficial networks,and free.
I think the parallels with mtb-ing are pretty evident.
Watched Monsters V Aliens earlier; thoroughly enjoyed it. 🙂
Now watching Ratatouille. Brilliant.
Pixar rock. 8)
Pixar rock.
They do, but that's a statement unrelated to the others. ITYM Dreamworks.
Are you 100% sure about that Cougar?
Yeah Ratatouille is a Pixar fillum. 😀
Warrior - I'd give it a 9/10. Not your usual martial arts film in that it has depth and substance to the plot.
cowboys and aliens on dvd, ok as bubble gum entertainment, but rubbish tbh. 3/10
Cannot remember the last time I went to cinema ... movie on telly counts?
Watched the inbetweeners before work... a solid 1.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - awesome, even if it mostly excommunicates the very subtle discussion/references to class which the book and BBC miniseries had.
Take me home tonight - 2/10
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy- really enjoyed it.
Incendies- also very very good.
The Man Who Fell To Earth - Brilliant movie although a bit of a Bowie vehicle 8/10
Warrior - I was sceptical after reading the plot synopsis, but it was surprisingly good. Strong performances from Tom Hardy, Edgerton and especially Nick Nolte made what could've been a terrible film in to an enjoyable one - 8/10.
Haywire. Pretty decent, I'd recommend it for a bit of mindless action.
Tropic Thunder 7/10 Good laugh and Tom Cruise is superb.
Haven't been to the movies for ages then went twice in quick succession, saw a week with Marilyn which was OK, quite enjoyed it, bit of a UK luvvyfest, but was quite fun. say 6/10 then saw the Iron Lady.
Love or hate Thatcher it was a nasty film so if you hated her, worth a visit, personally I'm ambivalent she was both good and bad, but no way as bad as our current crop of lying thieving scumbag politicos. The movie however is worth going to see simply because of Streeps performance she is without doubt the finest acting person across both sexes imv, totally wasted in this obviously female bitchfest about Thatcher's descent into Dementia with hints that it was going on whilst she was at the controls..
Nasty Film buoyed up by an acting genius.
we talking last film watched or last new film watched?
Re-watched Cashback last week 9/10, actually no sod it make that a 10, not everyones cup of tea tho I'd guess.
Can't actually remember the last new film I watched, can't have been that good.
Also saw Tinker Tailor (last night). I thought it was very good indeed, but thought the ending was a bit twee.
The latest Sherlock movie at Vue 9/10
That good, I want to watch the first one.
Spoiler alert

The scene where they are running away from the cannon through the woodland was amazing, loved the slow motion filming during the scene.
Drive; 6/10
Could have been really good but didn't quite deliver for me.
Watched Source Code last night, [b]3/10[/b], sentimental and silly.
Tried to watch Tropic Thunder a week ago, [b]0/10[/b], Coogan blowing up was mildly amusing, nothing remotely funny for the next 15 minutes so I switched it off.
Thanks for the recommendation of How I Ended this Summer - I stuck it on my lovefilm list and finally got to watch it tonight. I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
'State of Grace' on American Blu-ray import.
SUPERB.
