Saw "Catfish" last night. Excellent film. Well worth checking out.

I saw the Expendables at the weekend, and enjoyed it.  Dreadful scene in it though featuring Arni and Willis, was like something out of a Naked Gun film and I was wondering what I had let myself in for.  But it was a decent action film from there on. 

Also saw SALT, which had a good storyline but seemed to play out very quickly.  Seemed very hurried.  Could have been alot better, but overall I enjoyed it.

Seen a classic on Sky last night 'Strength and Honour', Vinnie Jones and an Irish accent  :D

Is that the one about travelling folk fighting each other? Ridiculously bad film! Michael Madsen must have been high when he signed up for that one.

I saw Tron Legacy, 3D. It is a very good looking film, much more hight tech and slicker than the original. I thought it was very good on the first viewing.

7.5 out of 10.

Would you think that would because the original was from 1982 by any chance!

Watched Boondock Saints again for nostalgia - fantastic show still.

I was in Canada earlier in the year and a few fellas over there were raving about the Boondock Saints and couldnt believe I never heard of it! Must watch it some time...

Boondock Saints is a classic

Just half way thru Boondock Saints II  pure crap!!!  The characters are comical and not in a good way. What a way to ruin a great premise.

Watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 with the kids yesterday - I'd forgotten how funny they were.

Home Alone 1 and 2 are two of my favourite Christmas films.  Hope to watch them during the next week.

Saw it a few months ago, thought it was pretty good too.  The Cantona factor obviously having a big bearing on my verdict.
