Robin Hood, the 2010 version. It was very confusing, (I had no idea what the Hell was going on half the time). Russell Crowe couldn't make up his mind whether he was playing a Scouser or a Dubliner, and the whole thing was overly-long and - most damningly - f**king boring. Arse-witheringly, soul-destroyingly boring. How can the director of Blade Runner and Gladiator f**k up the Robin Hood story so comprehensively?

I read somewhere they hoped it would lead to a dark Batman Begins reinterpretation of the Robin Hood myth and a possible trilogy. But it did so poorly at the box office that probably won't happen. Thank goodness.
Just watched the first ep of The Walking Dead. Excellent stuff!

The PIlot?

I suppose so, but there is a whole series, so pilot/ep 1. I think it's on the FX Channel over here next week.

That's the one. I enjoyed, I'm a big fan of the books.

Not seen the books, so I watched it exclusively as a TV show. Not really much they could do with a first ep because all the setup needs to be done. It looks like it'll be a pretty decent series though.
The Horde. A French zombie movie. Not as good as 28 Weeks Later or the Dawn of the Dead remake, but a decent enough little zomb-flick. And a nice black ending.
I think I'm gonna watch The Changeling with George C. Scott. Still jump every time the damned ball rolls down the stairs.
Scott Pilgrim Versus The World - Well, I'm not sure if I liked that or not. Visually it was great, and I liked a lot of it, but there was a lot that was just weird. The first ex with his singing and demon cheerleaders? WTF? One thing I really did like was Culkin's character and performance, he was very good. And the soundtrack was cool too, had me toe-tapping through most of it. 
Not sure I'd want to see it again, but ok.

God I hope the rest of the series lives up to that pilot. Supoib.
