Saw Iron Man 2. Great film. good craic. It's Hollywood gong-wooh, but sure most people were expecting that. Not as good as the first film, but it ticks all the boxs that was expected in the sequel. including the Stan Lee cameo.
Have to agree there ziggy, good enough outing to the cinema! One little annoyance though was that in the orriginals war machine was black and white, in the way that iron man is red and yellow. Still pretty cool and impressive. Spoiler alert, but yer man at the race with the arm things was cool as F!

Watched "An Education" and "The Ghost" over the past few days.

An Education was OK I guess. A bit drawn out and about a womans struggle in times gone by where she's torn between getting herself an education or marrying into money. I saw the twist coming a mile off but it was decent I guess 6/10

The Ghost was pretty entertaining. A political drama with a few twists and turns along the way. Fantastic cast in it also and a very good story. The twist in this one is a bit harder to get but I did enjoy the film. 2 things that bothered me were the length of it and the ending. Other than that I'd recommend it 7/10.

Hoping to see Iron Man 2 this weekend although the GF wants to see the first one before we do. Only problem is the bastardin thing isn't in any of the DVD shops in the town. Hopefully get her in Tesco this evenin!

Watched Hot Tub Time Machine last night, it won't win any oscars or anything but some great laughs in it. Watched Gladiator recently, got me really excited for Robin Hood, looks excellent. 12th May release date, isn't it?

12th May yeah, I can't wait  ;D

Seriously can Hollywood come up with anything original these days?

Off the top of my head Clash of the titans, Nightmare on Elm Street,The Karate Kid, Robin hood, Alice in Wonderland & Wall street all remakes this year alone

Robin Hood is not a remake as I tries to tell the real story of Robin Hood (if he existed).  Well it is a remake but telling a different story.

Looking forward to it.
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and
means what he says...

ONeill

Watched Single Man.

It won't be many a person's cupan tae but I liked it a lot. Arty, great shots. Firth is excellent. Follows one day in the life of Firth who has decided he'll kill himself at the end of the day as he can't get over his ex-lover's death a few months earlier.

Unpredictable ending. Maybe not for some. I didn't see it coming.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Make your mind up? didn't they try this with the new Batman film & tried to change the Story but made a balls of it IMO

Anyways Ridley Scott/Crowe has the makings of a good film
