Catching up on a few taped films and watched '3.10 to Yuma'.
Thought it was class. Didnt particularly like Cristian Bale in the Batman films, this suited him a lot more.

Christian Bale is the best Batman there has been, tremendous actor and performances as Batman.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Are you related to him Stew? A very defensive post there! Its only an actor and a film, and my humble opinion man!

Went to see Skyfall last night. Liked it a lot - solid 8.5/10.

Any criticism of cliches in a Bond film seems strange. Thin line behind a cliche and the Bond formula of girls, guns, gadgets, big opening sequence, over the top villains, cheesy one-liners, cars, casinos, money shots for Omega etc. etc. Any director knows they have to work any film around the formula.

Compared to the slickness of Casino Royal I thought it was poor. The product placement was ridiculous and I nearly spat my coke out when i heard the "Welcome to Scotland" line. Bland entertainment for a hungover Sunday is about the only thing it fits the bill for IMO.

I didn't notice the Audi, Heineken, Omega, VW, Sony or Coke product placements so I have no idea what you are talking about...  ;)

After reading that Heineken paid £28m for their bottle to appear in it. Almost a third of the estimated production budget.

This is a trailer for a documentary on some type of Gladiator Football in Florence :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW-wxTW7OCI

Seen killing them softly, thought it was disappointing, a real art-house flick which laid it on heavy with the whole economic undertone thing. Waste of time really.

Was moderately to serverely hung over for most of yesterday so I caught up with a few movies:

The Grey - really enjoyed it despite what I read on here
The Raven - not a bad movie, but not a great one either, although the girl is cute

Watched the Avengers movie over the weekend....dont see what all the fuss is about. It's ok, nothing special. 7/10.

Also watched Expendables 2....much more enjoyable. Total tongue in cheek action I thought it was a good old fashioned over the top goody vs baddy A-Team like film with gore!  A solid 9/10.
