Our Nail Loney

Saw that Righteous Kill there last night, the one with Pacino and De Niro...

Thought it was very predictable and I guessed the plot/twist about ten minutes into the film! 50 Cent is as good an actor as I am I would say, and I am crap...

Though the girl from the Bon Jovi video for Always is in it, I hadn't seen her since Spin City and she is gorgeous (Carla Gugino or something)

while Benji seems like an attempt at Forrest Gump in reverse but falls short comprehensively.

I doubt much consideration was given to forrest gump when benjamin button was written in the 1920's ;)
they do share the same screen writer though

Watched Eagle Eye and Burn After Reading this weekend. Eagle Eye was alright for action and drama but the storyline was complete and utter nonsense. Gave Burn After Reading the hammer after an hour so don't even know how it finished. Nor do I care. Gash.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to watch Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe on Channel 4. I must say, it was an excellent film and would recommend it to anyone.

Saw it yesterday. Eastwood does the usual "man with no name here to clean up the town" act, but it's fairly good & was actually quite funny in places-one particular line had me in stitches.

It was only on for an hour and a half, i thought it was pretty s*it too.

Saw Eagle Eye when it came out in the cinema. Terrible film. Nice idea for a film, but poorly executed.

She was in Sin City briefly.  But she was unbelievable in it!

Fried Green Tomatoes is a brilliant movie.

Eagle Eye was watched at the cinema and the idea seemed good but the film was dirt.

Watched Get Smart at the weekend - just about watchable (Only for the good looking lassie in it)

He's Just Not That Into You- good chick flick show.

screenexile

Watched that last weekvwith a friend of mine and even she had to admit it painted all women as psychos and all men as dead on... just like it is in real life.

Wasn't bad for a chick flick though I'll give it that much. Great cast.

SidelineKick

Seen The Unborn at the weekend, shit shit shit.
