Watched Life of Pi earlier. Excellent show, 9/10.

Flight lined up for later.

Just starting to watch Flight
Great start!  ;D
Best start to a movie I've seen in a long time.
Twas all downhill from opening scene, I was bored watching it.

alright lads, i'm sort of scared to download stuff as it messed up my last computer.

Can anyone tell me a safe program to use as well as safe download. I'm not technically minded either!!!!!

Thanks in advance lads.

Thought flight was alright, nothing special apart from Denzel being excellent.

Anyone seen Beasts of the Southern Wild yet? Meant to be outstanding.

Denzel is on The Graham Norton Show.

You have a while thing for him.

Watched The Raid (Redemption) last night. Some cracking fight scenes, brutal at times. Very worth a watch for any martial arts/action fans.

I cant get a decent copy of this, only crappy dubbed versions which I refuse to watch. Dont suppose you have a link for a decent subtitled version?

I watched 7 Psychopaths at the weekend...while not as good as I was expecting, I did enjoy it.
Christopher Walken is class and Farrell puts in a decent shift too but I think Sam Rockwell stole the show.

Watched Life of Pi at the Cinema over the weekend. Only in 2D and really wish I tried to catch it in 3D. Some of the scenes were spectacular. Had two kids with me and got mixed response from them, I think the younger got a couple of frights with the tiger scenes.

Also watched Ted over the weekend. Thought it was okish, few cheap laughs without hitting any real explosive hilarity, exactly what i was expecting.

Had the misfortune of (having to) watching two 'girlie' films at the weekend. Both complete tripe, but women seem to enjoy.

1) Because I Said So, with Diane Keaton. Awful tripe. Included a scene where a daughter tried to explain to her mother what an orgasm felt like.
2) Its Complicated, with Meryl Streep. Complete tripe.

From a television perspective, worst weekend ever.

You must have done something seriously wrong to be made sit through both of those films  ;)

Watched Trainspotting, decent enough but there wasn't much of a story there.

I was made sit through that first one too - awful is not the word. It defied all logic.
I was working on the laptop but the crapness still managed to seep through to me

He was saying to Graham Norton that he was glad his stalker had stopped following him, but apparently Ryan Gosling is getting it tight these days.

I liked Flight - had no idea what it was about other than snippets from The Graham Norton Show. A solid 8/10.

Started watching Lincoln last night and didn't realise it would be so based on the legalities of the emancipation proclamation. I sort of assumed there would be a lot of battlefield scenes. At half-time the report is very good and Daniel Day Lewis and supporting cast are excellent.

Saw Django Unchained last night. As with all QT film it had its flaws ( too talky at times, too long, plot sagging etc etc.) QT (as always) had a great cast in it.
Enjoyed it even though I don't like QT as a rule (must be the only person on the planet to think Pulp Fiction is massively overrated).
Good film all the same. 1st 60 minutes or so especially.  7/10.

Always thought the same about Pulp Fiction, nearly as over-rated as Anchorman or Apocalypse Now.

Watched Lawless other night on DVD, thought it was great show about bootlegging in prohibition era. Tom Hardy one of best actors around at minute!!
