Watching a film on Film 4 at the moment called Donkey(or Dunkey as we say in Laois) Punch.
Great craic!

Twas all right, but a bit far fetched.

Just a tad!
Why can't people who find themselves at the mercy of a murderer just play along with them until they get to a safe place? Why are they all so stupid.

Saw Senna yesterday. Riveting. You'd probably still enjoy it if you're not a Formula 1 fan.
Trailer here. Doesn't paint Prost in a very positive light though. I used to think Senna was an awful man for putting other drivers off the track, so it's interesting to see his side of the story.

Saw Captain America last week and was impressed. I've yet to be disappointed by any of the Marvel movies that have been coming out lately.

I watched Primal last night.

Rubbish.

Big fan of the inbetweeners show so was really looking forward to the movie.

Went to see it and thought first 20 mins very good but when they went on holiday 3/4 funny bits only i thought it was very poor, overall 5/10 for me.

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), digitally remastered this year. Brilliant black comedy with Alec Guinness playing 8 roles.

TYP and Hardy would be able to regale stories of its original release.

Final Destination 5 is in 3 D but I went 2 D. The same again from this series of movies. Like the Saw movies every movie is the same in this series but I still enjoy them.

Brilliant flick... A long time favourite in this parish.

Watched Avatar last night, thought it was going to be a kids show but was an excellent story line and the special effects were fantastic, can't wait for the sequel.

Also caught Secretariat last week, one of the best sporting movies I think of all-time.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is sexy in it.
