Saw Sherlock Holmes last night and was pleasantly surprised. It was much better than the last one. Very slick and fast moving but very enjoyable. 7/10 I reckon.

Cow boys and Aliens!  What was i thinking :-[ :o.  Avoid it like the clap.  The clue was in the name

Dinny Breen

Watched Winter's Bone the other night. Slow paced but haunting. Some serious performances but the Uncle Teardrop was fantastic. One for fans of subtle intelligent movies 8/10.

Capt Pat

The latest mission impossible movie is very entertaining imho. 8 out of 10.

Watched:

* Defiance - decent enough show.

* Star Trek - really enjoyed it, had never watched any previous episode or film before plus Zoe Saldana is class.

* Cowboys and Aliens - pretty poor.

* Watched Drive again, unbelievable.  Have to buy the Soundtrack, be the first one I have bought since Bad Boys. 

Have Warrior in the house to watch tonight, looking forward to it.  Also taped Revolutionary Road, anyone seen it?

Enjoyed the Adjustment Bureau over the weekend. - 7/10

Seen Bronson also - it's bukking mental!! - I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I enjoyed it. Put me in the notion to watch Sexy Beast again.

Quite enjoyed the Town over Crimbo hols too - another 7/10.

Warrior was very good but I was a bit disappointed in the ending, which was predictable.

I will admit it was watchable, but afterwards I thought I never watch it again.  If you think that was good you should watch Pitch Black.  Better show than Alien IMO

Seen A Lonely Place To Die, decent show, bit predictable with the no signal on the cell phones and the other cliches.  Based in the highlands in Scotland, fantastic scenery in the film and a nice soundtrack.

Very good  :D  But I did think it was a great show for that genre, alot better than the follow up the chronicles of riddick which was boulder dash.  Here atleast I stuck my neck out! There is boys on here not mentioning the embarrassing films they enjoy  :)

I know nearly everyone else on this thread will have seen it but i watched The Blind Side for the first time last night and loved it..Not a bit of wonder Sandra B got an Oscar for it..have been told to watch Invincible now as its kind of similar...

Saw Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows at the weekend. Cracking movie, well paced, very witty, genuiely funny in parts and Downey Jr & Law have some great scenes in it together

Yep saw Pitch Black years ago....probably Vin's best movie.
The follow up was crap though.
