Started watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but had to tap out after 45 minutes as it was slow going. It's a shame as I really liked the first one, but this couldn't hold my attention.
I've just seen... Page 400
You're kidding, this is one of the best films ever Ben, tap yourself back in I say!
Paddington. Loved it and pleased I wasn't the only grown up there by themselves. Annoyed at the couple who thought it appropriate to take their two year old.
Finally got round to watching Django Unchained.
I have to say I was disappointed. The story and characters were just not up to the high standard set in Pulp Fiction.
In saying that at least it wasn't full of unnecessary CGI, long drawn out battle scenes and dreary dialogue like a lot of recent films (including Noah which my wife had on last night - what a pile of shit. If you have a choice of watching it or not, choose not).

...and a bloody hip hop song appears on the soundtrack! That alone ruined this movie for me.
I still haven't seen Django. But Tarantino's unexpected soundtrack songs are usually quite fun.
I thought Django was an amazing film. It may even have topped Inglourious Basterds for me.
I'm looking forward to Birdman with Michael Keaton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJfLoE6hanc
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Not reliant on special effects. No fast editing. No monotonous battle scenes.
Great story. Brilliant beautifully drawn characters. Engrossing quirky comedy.
Currently on Sky, would highly reccomend.
Paddington - Delightful and funny, Peter Capaldi being particularly good but the little Peruvian one stole the show - and my heart!

I enjoyed this too but did find it a bit long.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....!
I went to see Birdman the other day and it's a great film. Keaton is superb in it.
Ed Norton's really good too, but his character just seems to drop out of it towards the end.

Yeh and if you take your 1970s DJ friend to a creche, you're the one who gets arrested.
It's one rule for kids and quite another for adults.
I'd just like to add my support for Django. I really, really enjoyed it and look forward to watching it again sometime.
I "made" my girlfriend watch Jurassic Park and whilst she enjoyed it, I don't really think she got it. Maybe she can't appreciate what it was like being an 8 year old boy in 1993 when it came out in the cinema and a fantasy of seeing dinosaurs realised right in front of your eyes being played out on a big screen with roaring surround sound? Anyway, I can't stress enough how awesome that moment was. Thanks Spielberg, you dream weaving bastard!
