Devils Double is an interesting tale of Uday Hussein and his double. Sex drugs rock n roll and violence feature prominently. It is a true story.

I thought it was very good and give it 8 out of 10. Imdb only award 6.7 out of 10.

I am only 2 years behind now.

Catching up with Netflix.

Devil's Double is a good show about a complete and utter nutcase, Saddam's son. The fact it is 'based' on a true story increases its impact. The ending was a bit lame but if they stuck to the facts then they were limited with what they could do. Better that than what they did in Argo with the completely fictional Die Hard ending.

I agree with 8/10.

Has there ever been a movie about wifi? My partner and I were at a hotel in Cavan recently and there was no wifi. These group of Mexicans were going mad because there was none and threatening to cuts the heads off Cavan people. I was thinking it would make a brilliant film.

Wooooooooo.............. Howl yer horses............... There is a hotel in Cavan???

Saw Tropic Thunder last night ............ well the first 10 minutes of it before the remote was put into action. Won't be bothering to watch the rest.
Have Blue Valentine lined up to watch tonight............. has been recommended by a source with a less than impecable record. Worth watching ? Sounds very "relationshipy" to me.

Only saw Blue Valentine a few months ago, it is very "relationshipy" but I thought it was very good.  I usually stay away from Vince Vaughan, Ben Stiller kind of films, although I did watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall last year and thought it was good. Your man in it is the spit of Tony Baloney.

You're right!

2/10

Finally got around to watching The Dark Knight Rises last (k)night.

There was some ropey dialogue and delivery - mainly by Michael Caine - but it did a wonderful job making a true trilogy of the films rather than the ad-hoc nonsense that passes for trilogies you see in almost every case of superhero or action films, It was rough around the edges in places but that fades away in the face of all the film's successes. Great action (as you'd expect from Nolan) and for a film nearing three hours it rarely dragged.

Half way through it felt like a good film but probably the weakest of the three Nolan Batman films, by the end of the breathless build-up to climax it felt like my favourite of the lot.

Anyone watched Place Beyond The Pines yet?  The limited release has hampered my efforts of hitting the cinema so far, hopefully get this weekend.  Looking forward to it for over a year as well as the upcoming Only God Forgives. 

Watched Jack Reacher, was decent enough.  Rosamund Pike is some bit of gear.

I think a lot of the ISPs were made to block the main torrent sites recently.

You would no doubt think twice if it was a choice between her or Ryan Gosling.

I saw Oblivion at the weekend.

The star of the show was a flying spherical robot. He was cool (as were his brothers). Otherwise pretty mundane stuff. There were probably four twists in it, that kept it semi interesting, albeit only one of them was a real surprise. Although the fact they cogged a big part of the finale from another alien film was another surprise!

Neither Tom Cruise nor Morgan Freeman added a whole heap to it.

Overall, I wouldnt recommend anyone pay money to watch it.

Have Denzel and Golsing appeared together yet?

Travelled 10,000 miles last week so took in a load of films on the plane:

Life of Pi - Spectacular. I read the book a few years back and he captured it perfectly. Visually stunning (even on a plane screen). 9/10
Broken City - Not bad at all. Usual performances from Crowe and Marky Mark. 5/10
Jack Reacher - Watchable - not great but not the worst. 4/10
End of Watch - really enjoyed it. I liked how it was shot. Enjoyed the characters, the setting, the build up. 8/10

Watched it at the weekend also having lurked on my US stick for months. Same as everything you have said - really enjoyed and the missus even liked it too as she wasn't too sold on it when I told her what it was.
