Man of Steel 7.5/10.

Would agree with that. Enjoyable but I thought there was nothing new in it for anyone remotely familiar with the Superman back story. Not as good as any of the three Batman films but worth a watch.

The kids loved it but I was hoping it would have less of the darkness of the Batman and recent Spiderman flicks. It missed a lot of the heart, innocence and humour of the original imo. Decent enough though.

Zero Dark Thirty was very good, Jessica Chastain being in it obviously helps too.

Seen an odd film last night called Sightseers. English flick about a distrurbed  Black Country ( I think) couple caravanning. Wouldn't  be to everyone's taste ............grim and disturbing enough in places.

Watched Hitchcock also. So so.

No Soloing

Watched Tyrannosaur last night. Paddy Considine's directorial debut.
The blurb doesnt sound too good and its a bit gritty but I thought it was first class.

I know its been talked about before, but heads up for another Considine movie - acting this time - Dead Mans Shoes is on Film 4 this Sunday.

I heard the 2D version was a bit flat.

2D, heard a review that said 3D adds nothing to it. You'll enjoy it, different from the book a fair bit but still good

Milltown Row2
