Watched 1/3 of shutter island last night before the peepers gave out on me - looking forward to the rest tonight.

What a ballix of a show.

The new batman movie is to be called "The Dark Knight Rises"......Anne "massive gob" Hathaway to play cat woman. Not a great start but will be class in the end no doubt.

Thought it was good film myself with or without the boobies, but was a bonus.

watched a couple of South Korean films recently:

1) Old Boy, about a guy released from prison after 15yrs, and not knowing why he was locked up who seeks revenge, was interesting
2) Memories of Murder based on South Korea's first documented serial killer, told from point of view of detectives investigating. Thought it was excellent.

Old Boy is a great show. I am going to watch Sympathy For Mister Vengeance tonight from the same director.

Watched La Haine last night starring a very young Vincent Cassel about a day in the lives of three youths in the slums of Paris. Highly recommend it as well as the Mesrine films while I am on about Cassel.

I bought Oldboy on the recommendation of a friend and I thought it was an excellent film.  He told me that Lady Vengeance by the same directing was a much better film, bought that, didn't think it was anywhere near as good as Oldboy.
I read recently that Spielbery and Will Smith of all people have the rights to do a remake of Oldboy.  Not good, not good at all.

Watch a couple of films in the cinema this week.

Love and Other Drugs is a load of boll!x. It had potential but the first hour and 15 mins is utterly pointless.

Tron in 3D is excellent, even if the plot has a few holes, it looks amazing.

As a big Batman and Chris Nolan fan I can't wait for this.  Hope its as good as the first one which IMO is better than the Dark Knight.

Watched 127 Hours the other night.  It was pretty good, but there were some boring parts but over all they done a good job keeping the film moving which I thought might be a problem seeing as its basically about man stuck by a rock.  It was good enough but I don't think I could watch it again.

A film to record/Sky+ tonight on Channel 4.

Revert to your student days.

Withnail & I (T) (1986, Comedy)
Two hard-drinking unemployed actors sharing a grotty flat in late 1960s London think they can escape their miserable existence by decamping to a cottage in the Lake District. But finding no respite from their problems, the less self-destructive of the pair comes to realise he has to leave his friend behind. Cult black comedy, starring Richard E Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths and Ralph Brown.

A film I always mean to watch, but miss on TV. Thanks for the advance notification, I'll Sky+ it to be sure.

The best film ever! "Two pints of cider, two quadruple vodkas, ....ice in the cider"

The Iceman

Got the PS3 there for Christmas, wanted a Blu Ray player so it made sense to get the PS3.
Anyways haven't really not enjoyed a film since. It makes mediocre films very watchable.
Thought Inception was great, Knight and Day was ok, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Grown Ups.
All very watchable....

Watched Black Swan tonight. What a mind f**k that was. The trailer tells you nothing about this movie. It has to be watched as an experience. I dpn't quite know how to rate it.

8 out of 10 for originality and intrigue.

Just saw The King's Speech last night. Great show. Great performances from all the cast, Colin Firth was outstanding. Nice little story too.
