Don't waste your money - it's terrible
Is this a remake of the 80s job with Patrick Swayze?

Looking forward to Star Trek 2, new Superman and A Good Day to Die Hard.

Yes Tony as usual you are 100% correct. Red Dawn is a remake with the USA facing invasion from North Korean soldiers rather than Russkies.

Jack Reacher then ... What's the story lads?

Thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of fans of the books aren't happy that Cruise is playing someone who's meant to be a 6'5 beast.

Went to see Jack Reacher - was very very good... Seem to capture the spirit of the books and the character of Reacher pretty well - for example Reacher using his elbows and knees in the fight scenes more so than straight punches - which is impressive considering you had a dwarf playing the 6'5'' main man.

Hopefully it does well and a sequel will be given the green light

What's wrong with people playing taller people?  :o
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Nothing as such. In the books Reacher is a tank much like myself so a lot of Reacher fanatics got their knickers in a twist when Cruise was cast. I thought it was a bit daft too but you are right that it doesnt really matter.

Just watched Dial M For Murder on DVD tonight. Hard to beat.

Love the old Hitchcock flicks, especially when they have the Hitchcock festival at a local cinema near here where they have the boy playing the old organ coming up out of the floor between shows.  An ornate old cinema with a balcony and all.

Just saw Cabin in the Woods.Awful stuff.
