The Iceman

I just got Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter the book. Going to try it.

Seen The Grey at the weekend and Safe House. The Grey was very disappointing. The trailer for it was nearly better than the film. Anti-climatic.
Safe House was fairly decent - D.W stable movie.

Went to see MIB 3 last night, was entertaining but wouldn't watch it again for a while (apart from the start with Nicole Sherzinger dressed to impress). Some critics said the ending is emotional and they were right, some guy started crying at the end.

I really liked Safe House, had a Man On Fire feel to it. 

Totally agree with you on The Grey.

I saw The Descendants recently and thought it was good, watched Contraband at the weekend and thought it was boring as hell but nothiong in comparison to the dirt that occupied my TV screen last night in The Darkest Hour.

Watched 44 Inch Chest last weekend. Absolutely dire . Still boiling that I didn't switch it off after 10 minutes when I had it sussed. Kept watching waiting for it to take off which of course it never did.

Watched 'Ted' at the weekend. Decent show, some very funny parts. Don't take your mum.

Saw The Amazing Spiderman last week.  Great show.  Better casting than Toby Maguire.

Saw Snow White and the Huntsman at the weekend.  Not my sort of film but I found it enjoyable enough. Visually it's stunning to look at.

Saw The Amazing Spiderman tonight. Good wee film, much better than the previous trilogy. The casting was top notch, Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spiderman was much better than Toby Maguire.

Don Johnson

TDKR - 9/10.

Great ending to the trilogy. Better than TDK in my opinion because I thought the ending of it wasn't great with the boat dilemma etc. The last 30 mins or so of TDKR blew me away. I love Nolan's films anyway but this was great.

Hathaway and JGL were brilliant.

The Dark Knight Rises - disappointing IMO.

Tied up the ends well in fairness to Nolan as well as a 3rd of a triology could but not a patch on The Dark Knight. Ledger was sorely missed.

Obviously not going to into it because a lot wouldn't have seen it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt who plays Blake got the same amount of screen time as Bale nearly! Some ridiculously cheesy lines in it too.

 The Dark Knight Rises - awful, awful disappointing show.

Broken story arch, incredibly cheesy dialogue and situations. Without giving much away the situation with the boy's shelter is one example. Gordon-Levitt is shite, gets as much time Bale and he's no screen hero with some of the most cheesy lines.

Anyone who can understand Bales every word is a liar, not a huge disadvantage as you can fill it in but at the same time you haven't a clue what he just muttered.

Anyway it is too long, cheesy as parmesan and don't get me started on the plot-holes, the siege at the end? WTF the jail as well?

Very poor IMO given how good Nolan is. I'd go as far to say this is the first bad film he has made. All his previous shows are better than this, including BB.

I agree with the last two posts, the Dark Knight Rises was disappointing, slow moving film poorly acted and the plot holes were everywhere & looking back Ledger performance made the last film better than it was.

Haven't seen the last one yet but I think batman begins trumped the dark knight

Watched the first 2 lat week again and it reinforced how shit Batman Begins was. Saw the new one yesterday and was disappointed too. Could barely understand Bane, and expected more from him. The ending was pretty predictable too.
