Miami Blues. Dark and funny, and still my favourite Thin Alec Baldwin movie.
I've just seen... Page 338

I'd agree with this. Not a bad little film, and great performance from Jeff Bridges, but hard to see what all the fuss was about when it came out.
Saw A Good Year last night. Very frustrating. Would have been better played as a much more subtle film.
Willard. Enjoyably odd film about a lonely misfit who trains an army of rats to wreak revenge on his enemies. Strong performances from the rats.
Green Lantern. Not great, and I'm not sure about the wisdom of having a character called Killowog.
I love my Superhero movies & I like Ryan Reynolds
But I don't think I'll bother with that one.
To be fair, the Green Lantern strikes me as a really difficult superhero to make work on film. Even by comic book standards, it all seems a bit daft with its magic ring and intergalactic NATO and massive-foreheaded baddies. Even so there are enough explosions to make it watchable.
I didn't mind it, but I've never read any of the comics.
The only reason I've heard of it is Sheldon Cooper.
Urgh.
Saw Dredd
Dredd was awesome responding to being shot at by mini guns, waiting for gun fire to stop and dragging a bad guy by his collar across the ground and throwing him down the 30+ floors to hit the steps. Yeh f**k your mini guns.
It's worth a watch they went a little overboard with slow mo stuff. I enjoyed it though
Ha, I liked it. Probably gonna get the blu-ray.

Yeh its a defo for Blu-Ray. There are a few sequences that'd look sweet as f**k in super crisp quality. Urban was a good Dredd I thought and Anderson was really good
Just watched Chasing Ghosts - Beyond the Arcade which is an interesting documentary on the brief Arcade culture in the USA during the early 80s. A lot of the cast are also featured in the later documentary (which is Matt Stott approved) King of Kong. Both are essential viewing.
That was good
No Steve Wiebe though
'Django Unchained'; was really great. Funny and horrible. DiCaprio, Waltz and Jackson are all brilliant.
