And you get to see Kirsten Dunst naked.

Sounds rubbish that 😯

Watched “X-Men First Class” on Tuesday – enjoyed it again (saw it in the cinema originally). Worth a watch if you’re into that sort of film.

I watched a few movies yesterday (whilst I get over manflu)

17 Again – 8/10
Iron Man – 9/10

Paranormal Activity (first one) – thought I’d finally watch it to see what the hype is about. Meh 6/10

Still probably going to watch the sequel tonight though…

Killer elite, thought it would be a basic action flick but absolutely cracking, great cast with steatham, de Niro and Clive Owen. At least an 8/10

127 hours brilliant movie….”could you do it if it was you” ?
The Decent 2….also pretty good…

District 9 , again – 9/10

flight from jfk you two? i passed on capt. amaerica and chose kramer vs kramer, very very good. also saw bridesmaids and senna on the way out, both superb too.

i want to see this moneyball film is it out yet? kinda dorky subject but i think brad pitt is actually a good actor.

Marmaduke

So crap it was great being pished helped

still haven’t seen a visconti film I haven’t liked.
8/10.
hoping to see the new mike leigh one soonish.

Pearl Jam 20, saw it a few weeks ago but it was on BBC4 tonight (repeated again at 1:55 if anyones interested) I gave it a solid Ten (ho ho) but probably a biased opinion

Machine Gun Preacher… Really surprisingly good, manages to avoid most of the obvious pitfalls for a film like that. Not all, though. Still, there was a very big chance it’d suck, and it didn’t, so hurrah.

Just watched ‘one for the road’ from TGR. Good skiing shots, weak soundtrack. Bonkers lines. 7/10

Watched Source Code last night and it was really quite enjoyable despite he fact that it sort of shouldn’t have been because the central plot theme is pretty outrageous

The boy in the striped pyjamas – not a lot happens but it does built very well to the inevitable ending which I thought was all done very well – subtle but shocking none the less. 8/10 but a bit depressing.

Despicable Me – good plot and the characters were lovingly crafted with a depth and sensitivity that sold the subtext in a manner which was gentle and sublime..
the cinematography let it down however.. and for this reason I am only able to give it a 7/10

Horton Hears a Who looks like it may provide a more rounded experience.. I shall report back later..

Thor – on the plane back from the US. Fun. Amusing in parts, and enjoyable tosh overall.

Another vote for “Drive” – top quality movie.

got a “10 free rentals” offer from Blockbuster as one of our nearest branches has closed down & they seem to think I’m a good customer.

Been today on mrs_drummer’s instructions and we now have 4 nights to watch the following (all her choices):
Salt
Inception
Thor
Middle Men

Can’t say I’m looking forward to Inception; the others should be harmless though

Ides of March – 6.75/10

The Fountain – 9/10.

Fantastic to finally see a film by Aronofsky that doesn’t make you want to curl up and hide somewhere. One of my favourite films of all time I think.

Into The Wild – 5/10.

Feels a bit harsh, but my initial reaction was boring, boring, boring, dull, dull, dull. After thinking about it for a while I’ve kinda come to appreciate the beauty in the film, and almost watched it again. Might have if it wasn’t so boring. Also enough with the mummy/daddy issues, dear god.

Oh also Contagion – 5/10.

People cough, then they die. I wasn’t bored, but I wasn’t entertained either. Did pretty much nothing for me.

thx 1138
lucas.
8.5 for me,bit harsh over at imdb with 6.8.
good dialogues,excellent photography.deep yet funny in a bleak,dark way.pessimistic,hopeful.just great.
reminded me of truffaut’s farenheit 451.
nice commentary in the extras too.

popped over to watch Immortals over the weekend. 9.5 / 10 – only thing stopping it being a 10 is not enought atehna 😉

Swimming Pool – It was alright.

Submarine – had higher hopes than it warranted, 5/10. Amusing in places, but hardly hillarious as is suggests from the reviews on the cover. But maybe I just didn’t ‘get’ it.

Hurt Locker – Not quite Black Hawk Down, but good none-the-less. 7/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078268/
seven days in january,bardem.1977.
Weak,makes an interesting story quite boring.
conventional.bit rhetoric.6.5 at the most.
had expected better from the director of the best spanish film I’ve ever seen.death of a cyclist.1955.8/10.
so,shame.try to give spanish films a chance,living here and all.but they just don’t compare to the big players,france,us,italy,japan,russia,uk,germany.
buñuel excepted,but he worked in mexico mostly.

here’s the link,excellent, if anyone ever has the chance:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048394/

naughty housewives 7 ..not as good as 4 but storyline has a bit more to it …i give it 8 breasts out of a possible 10 🙄

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark 2/10

Utterly, utterly predicable. I should have realised when it said ‘presented by Guillermo del Toro’. I would go in to a Kermodian rant about how poor it was, but don’t the energy.

The Social Network 2/10
crap really…

Bad Teacher 6/10 quite enjoyable. it started well, but it faded…

The Scorpion King.

2.5/10

Jack Goes Boating

Hoffman and Amy Ryan are excellent.
8/10

Potiche

Superb Frenchness
8/10

Inception was ok. beautifully shot but waaaayyy too long

transformers- rubbish style over content american rubbish

hurt locker- eh? what was that all about. boom!

twenty-pearl jam- very good

signs- excellent but cant watch it late at night

ice age 3- meh

Sex Drive was on the telly last night, I laughed like a drain. American high school/college comedy. Not quite Road Trip or Superbad, but good fun. 8/10

source code, bloody excellent

Swimming Pool – It was alright.

Francois Ozon? I’d agree with your assessment

last thing I saw – Pirates of the Carribean 4, dull. Please don’t bother with a fifth

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118971/
devil’s advocate.
bit tacky.some good monologues.but there’s something missing in the storytelling.
5.5
