Yup, watched it yesterday. Much more enjoyable than part 1 of the deathly hallows.

Tried to watch fear and loathing in las vegas last night. Couldn't get into it at all, even in the right frame of mind.

I'd rather meet Hardy for a pint than watch that.

I'd rather you watched the film, thanks.

Watched Harry potter 3d last night. I thought it was just ok tbh. That was my first 3d cinema experience and I must say I wasn't overly impressed by that aspect of the film

Saw The Searchers again on Friday night. This film just leaves me cold, can't really see how it gets all the plaudits and I am a big fan of John Ford. Have watched it umpteen times and am still not too impressed.
why on earth would you keep on watching it??

Honestly, it is so highly lauded that when it is on tv I usually give it another try. A watchable flick imo but not the legendary film many think it is. Won't watch it again. Nothing else was on last Friday night anyhows.

Watched The Departed last night for the third time last night and it is a film growing on me. Didn't think much of it after first viewing. Very hard though to warm to a film with Damon in it.

I liked The Departed, watched that other Boston flick 'The Town' recently, could have been so much better.

I also watched The Adjustment Bureau the other night, been looking forward to it for months - very disappointed, pretty poor imo.

Just after watching Grizzly Man, it's more of a documentary than a film, anyone ever seen it? Tragic story, your man really seemed to be losing his mind towards the end of it.

I didn't think The Adjustment Bureau was nearly as bad as reported but would also say it was nothing special. 6/10.

Yeah i've seen it Paco.

Timothy Treadwell seemed a strange character.

Thought it was really interesting though.

Seen HP8 part 2 and thoroughly enjoyed it, 9/10

Seen Lincoln laywer and enjoyed 8.5/10

Cant believe people didnt enjoy the Adjustment Bureau, im honestly shocked tbh how different we are,

Saw the Guard last night and had tears streaming down my face last night . . . hilarious. For an Englishman writing the Screenplay he had an excellent knowledge of local Irish humour! See it if you can!

Picked a bad night to go to the pictures then. Can I suggest a spoonful of honey.

He might have been born in England but hes an Irish traveller. That is where his insight is coming from.
