Christopher Nolan would have failed his leaving cert English with that ending by the way....

Saw Inception at the weekend - serious movie throughly enjoyable even if I had to concentrate unbelievably hard at it!!  Very cleverly written and even if the ending was slightly predictable, I'm not sure that it was a bad ending

I saw Toy Story 3D tonight. It was surprisingly good, funny, dramatic, clever and not really like a childs movie movie. I never really saw the other toy story movies but this one entertained me. It is of course needlessly 3D but it is not average like all the other 3D movies.

8 out of 10.

Not being an old fart or owt but I have been very underwhelmed at the lack of decent movies in recent years.  Sky Classics is the only film channel I watch with any regularity nowadays.

The Iceman

Seen a few films there over the past few weeks:
Green Zone - 6/7 out of 10
Strength and Honour - 4 out of 10
Alice in Wonderland - Visually stunning but not my cup of tea at all 5 out of 10
Legion - Horrible - 2 out of 10
Wolfman - 6 out of 10
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Goats Do Shave

Went to see the A - Team last night. Had to say I enjoyed it... It's been fairly well cast. Neeson can be a little annoying at times & some of the action scenes are over the top (& hard to watch with the shaky cam.) but overall it's entertaining with lots of humerous quips!

The A team is entertaining. I give it 7.5 out of 10.

The thing I noticed was that it had remarkable parallels and similarities to the movie "The Losers " that was out earlier in the year. I don't know how things work in Hollywood, but someone copied someone elses movie.

Yup, that's how things work in Hollywood alright.

Goal 2 on telly tonight. Worth a watch lads? Enjoyed the 1st Goal where he went to Newcastle FC. Not an oscar winner but very watchable.

it's shocking but the terrible cameos from zidane and beckham are worth a look for a laugh at least....clip is prob on youtube,save ya the pain of sitting though the whole movie.

As a massive A Team fan in my youth I have to say the new movie is pretty much everything i wanted it to be after waiting 20 yrs on it!
All actors did a great job and the right cheese/action ratio.
Only gripe is them not using the most iconic TV theme of all time as an intro.

I thought they might have pumped it out at the end... must be a rights issue?
