Since writing that I realise that Road Kill is a pretty excelent trashy killer car movie. And that The Hitcher, although not strictly speaking about a scary car movie, does have scary car moments in it.
I've just seen... Page 259
Inglourious Basterds or Inglourious... as the Daily Mail TV guide calls it. Actually I only got about halfway through before deciding life was too short. I can only assume that back in the days of Pulp Fiction Tarrantino employed a good editor, because now every scene lasts an eternity.
"The Descendants."
Enjoyable - but if this is all you have to do for an Oscar nomination, then there's hope for us all.

It does drag a bit, and the end is cartoonish in the extreme, but some of the long scenes are excellent, like the first one with the jews under the floor, or the one in the bar...but yes, Tarantino needs a good snip.

Yes, the first cut is always the deepest!

Circumcision a sore subject?
I couldn't walk for a year after mine.
But what do you believe in Bussell? Nothing.
Go sacrifice to your nothing God of nothingness.

Finally got round to seeing Attack The Block.
Whilst it was a very credible, entertaining and well made film and I hope Joe Cornish goes from strength to strength and is given bigger projects in future, I so hated the hoodie gang from the start, that I spent most of the time rooting for the aliens.

The Australian version of Anna Frank's diary.

Exactly how I felt.
They were scum and it infuriated with me I was expected to be sympathetic towards them.

Yeah, that was a bit of a problem for me too. I mean, they were a funny bunch, and I enjoyed the film, but from the off the more or less unrepentantly mugged, in a large gang, a single woman. I think they only apologised for the fact that it turned out she was from the same place as them, and they didn't like to mug people from the same block!
So that was tricky to completely get past, but a fun film.
