Watched Unknown with Liam Neeson last night - instantly forgettable

Terrible film.  Watched the new Total Recall at the weekend, nice to look at but pretty average.  Watched Looper, very good show with a great performance by the wee lad in it, scarily good actually.

i did think django was a great film .... and a wonderful support cast.. but did anyone else think jamie fox was a bit of a let down when it came to how fantastic the other actors were?.... and how in places his accent goes from southern western to ghetto?...


good to see the return of don johnston too!

finally got to watch Django in its entirety last night, thought it was on the whole very good with as some already said, dialogey bits at Candyland dragged on a bit, with the Django's escape from the mining co workers, who I think were meant to be Australian, (Tarrantino is a god awful actor, stay behind the lens please!!) very far fetched and rushed before the finale at the big house. Laughed at the time he shot DeCaprio's sister from the top of the stairs and she flew straight back through the doorway.

I wasn't sure about Foxes's accent either as it may have been intentional as the music score varied from western to modern gangsta rap as well!!

I liked Samuel L Jackson as the old 'uncle tom' character though.

I'm going through a documentary phase, going through a bunch that I have stored.
Last night was the
The Quinns' of Versailles,
an entertaining and insightful documentary into the rise and fall of Ireland's richest family.
The documentary starts about 2007 when they are the peak of their bubble and follows events to the after effects of the 2008 crash, when the banks turned to vultures. You see public 'charity' events like when they write a cheque for the local GAA club.
Back to the script, a couple of connected plots are added in for contrast purposes, the fortunes of a close friend from the Queen's home town and the Filipino nanny.
I'd rate it highly recommended http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125666/
My only gripe is that it's about 15 or 20 minutes too long.

been laying off work for a few weeks so got to watch a few films -

end of watch - 7/10 - good performance from Gyllenhaal but the hand held camera shots started to annoy me after first hour
skyfall - 5/10 - usually enjoy the Bond films but this was poor. not enough action and dragged on a bit
silver lining - 7/10 - not your usual romcom but cooper was very good in that role and kept you interested to the end
the impossible - 8/10 - real tear jerker from start to finish. amazing to think what those people went through..
Ted - 6.5/10 - thought this was actually ok. few laughs in it. should have got someone else for voice over. if your a fan of family guy you'll find it off putting listening to mc farlane as someone else..

still have lincoln,django and argo downloaded so have a few to keep me going..

Similar feelings to yourself. Overall feeling about the film is good but a fair bit I didn't like. Too long - All the material there for a  really good 2 hour film let down by an unnecessary (imo) last 45 mins or so.

Have to pick a few chick flicks for the good lady to watch over the next few nights. It was man shows at the weekend. Any chick flick movies around at the minute that won't have me reaching for the cyanide capsules half way through?

Hit the bullseye there Norf. The good lady thought that was the best film she has watched in a long time, plus it was far from the worst film I've had to sit through.

I wonder what she'll think of Debbie Does Dallas tonight...
