Watched two films over the weekend:
Friends with Benefits- 8/10 very good I thought. Funny, Sexy, but predicible.

Super 8-  8/10 Enjoyed it. I like JJ Abrams work. Slick. The kids in starring roles were fantastic.

Seen Real Steel last night, very good show, 9/10.

The premise seems like a disney flick but have heard nothing but good reviews. Is it not a bit




The smaltz in Real Steel was cringwworthy. Effects were good, but if you're over 15yrs I'd stay away.

Real Steel is very entertaining, end of story8 out of 10.

Watched Crazy Stupid Love,

Daycent...had to nearly pick up the girls i was watching it with off the floor because of Ryan Gosling, christ...to be that man for a day...would clean up.

Drags on about 15 minutes too long at the end, missed a great opportunity to end it after a class scene. 7/10

I'm convinced the film I'm trying to think of is one of those Crash/Babel style films where lots of plots are interconnected. Film definitely closes with some piece of what I'd almost call "orchestral" electronic music like that towards the end of Drive, and am convinced there's a nighttime cityscape, almost certainly of LA. Doing my bloody head in!

I'm probably way of the mark, but is it that movie with the wee squeee kid who has lost his parents (NY) but knows them through music. That D4 bollocks stars in it as a bit of a rock sort of guy, maa plays classical soloist stuff; modern Oliver Twist (Robin Williams)??


Ardal, August Rush is the film you're talking about.

Not really about a new film but there are documentaries tonight on BBC 4 about The Life of Brian and all that ensued. 

21:00 Holy Flying Circus (T) Comedy drama, based on the controversy that surrounded Monty Python's Life of Brian on its release in 1979. As a campaign to ban the film gathered momentum, John Cleese and Michael Palin defended their work by participating in a live TV debate against Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark - but the programme did not go according to plan. Darren Boyd and Charles Edwards star alongside Steve Punt, Rufus Jones, Tom Fisher, Phil Nichol and Stephen Fry. Followed by the original TV debate from 1979.     

   22:30 Friday Night - Saturday Morning (R) (T) A 1979 TV debate about the controversy surrounding Monty Python's Life of Brian, which saw John Cleese and Michael Palin defend the film against accusations of blasphemy made by Mervyn Stockwood, the then-Bishop of Southwark, and author and satirist Malcolm Muggeridge. The programme is presented by Tim Rice and features music by Paul Jones and the Blues Band.

Watched Hanna and Fallen this week.

Hanna started out great, and had fantastic potential, but I think it fell short. 6.5/10

Fallen was really enjoyable, can't believe I'd never seen it before. 8/10.

Hanna is decent.  Fallen is up there with the best, one of my all time favourites.  Tiiiiiiime is on my side, oh yes it is.

Watched Despicable Me this evening, excellent show, very funny.

Followed that up with funny people, very surprised by this, thought it was a good show, some comedy but more a drama, well worth a look but long, 150 min I think

Always loved Fallen and watched it again last night on BBC - one of Denzel's best films I think. Same director did Frequency I think which also really enjoyed.

Before watching Fallen, I watched Das Experiment, which had wanted to see for a while. Fantastic psychological thriller, thoroughly impressed.

Watched "Kill the Irishman" last night. Its based on the story of Danny Greene, a mobster of Irish descent who was active in Cleveland in the 1970's. It stars Ray Stevenson and bears comparison to the likes of "Goodfellas".

It is well worth watching despite it having Vinnie Jones in it and there are some excellent performances in the minor roles from Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer

Missisippi Burniing on RTE1at the minute.  Awesome.
