"Taken". I normally hate Liam Neeson but he's completely badass in this film. Great movie.

Shame, really, I think it's a good film. Certainly better than the 2 or 3 out of five ratings I've seen it getting. Good, traditional Woody Allen film, with the usual pre-occupations - philosophy, luck, relationshps with huge age differences. And a sterling turn from Larry David, not very 'Larry' like, really.
My feeling was that it was a bit too traditional. I still rather liked it though and don't see why it's got widespread poor reviews. Mind you, I liked Match Point and everyone in the UK seemed to hate that.

Ah, I really enjoyed Match Point. Quite surprised to discover, subsequently, that a lot of people didn't like it.

I thought Match Point was quite well recieved. Not vintage Woody, but one of his more succesful late outings.

I don't know why you don't just marry some people if their opinions mean that much to you.

Tonight I watched the DVD of Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical. I'm a fan of the original Reefer Madness anti-drug film of the 1930s and love musicals, but this film was dreadful. Crap songs, crap spoof of the original plot, crap everything. Zero laughs. Thank Christ I didn't buy it.
Channel hopping . . I've just seen the last ten minutes of Dirty Harry ! 
'Seeing as this is a 44 Magnum and could blow your head clean off, what you have to ask yourself is 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya PUNK.'
Never tire of seeing it !
Blood Simple. Such an odd film!
Ooh yes, I remember liking that one.
Great film, Blood Simple. I love the shooting-through-the-wall scene at the end.

Have it on tape will likely watch it after I get the phone call.
