Watched Toy Story 3 (2D) yesterday with #2 son. Excellent show. The missus went to see it in 3D afterwards with #1 son and said the 3D version was unnecessary.

You should't rate your children like that. Love them all equally man

Watch There will be blood last night and thought it was excellent. Best film I have seen in a long time. Great music score by Johnny Greenwood, provided a very dark mood and enhanced the drama a lot.

Canalman

There Will be Blood is massively overrated imo. Lewis really hams it up.

Saw Quodrophenia on Saturday  night..... interesting movie and very watchable. Obviously a tad dated.

Goats Do Shave

I watched "Donkey Punch" at the week end...

Terrible, yet very watchable!  ;)

Thought there will be blood was middling at best, Lewis was good but verging on hamming it up IMO, thought the same with his character English Bob? in Gangs of NY.  Took the kids to see Toy Story 3 and have to say I was very disappointed considering the rave reviews it got.

Best movie i have seen this past decade is No Country for Old men, that is a movie.  There isn't a bad performance it in but Javier Bardem is just fantastic.

Agree 100% on "No Country For Old Men".

"No country for Old Men" is the over rated movie. After all the great movies the cone ???brothers made and they give them a hat full of oscars for this one. They knew their time had come and it was made for oscars but was not a great movie.

Only thing I remember about No Country for Old Men was being disgusted at the ending! Never watching it ever again!

Seen Inception tonight and it seriously messed with my head!

REALLY CANNOT WAIT TO THIS ONE:

I agree, to call it the best movie of the past decade is taking the le tiss, you would be here all day listing more suitable candidates for that title.

Once again agree that NCfOM is massively overrated. Really let down after watching it.

I loved it... Loved the ending too! - Why do you need to be told what happens? - You've got an imagination!

Possibly the Best "baddy" ever!

Hardy

I agree on NCOFM - best I can think of in a long time. Agreed with Benny on performances and Goats on best baddy ever (with the possible exception of Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance).

In the cinema I thought the ending was terrible, but within an hour I had re-thought it and thought it was perfect. Goats said it right.

Zapatista

I thought NCfOm was just OK. I can't remember the end right now ??? PM please? I remember it for being the only ever time I liked Tommy Lee Jones in a movie.

There Will be Blood was fantastic. I loved it.

One of my favourite movies of the last 10 years or so was Blood Diamond. Loved Dark Knight too.
