The Iceman

This is a trailer for a documentary on some type of Gladiator Football in Florence :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW-wxTW7OCI
Looks like hurling without the sticks ;)

Seen killing them softly, thought it was disappointing, a real art-house flick which laid it on heavy with the whole economic undertone thing. Waste of time really.

Was moderately to serverely hung over for most of yesterday so I caught up with a few movies:

The Grey - really enjoyed it despite what I read on here
The Raven - not a bad movie, but not a great one either, although the girl is cute

Watched the Avengers movie over the weekend....dont see what all the fuss is about. It's ok, nothing special. 7/10.

Also watched Expendables 2....much more enjoyable. Total tongue in cheek action I thought it was a good old fashioned over the top goody vs baddy A-Team like film with gore!  A solid 9/10.

Crazy stuff.
Seen worse in Laois county finals though.

I went to see Argo Wednesday night. Now that is a good film about the rescue of American hostages in Iran around 1980 and the interesting plan they came out with to try get them out without being caught by the Iranians. Ben Affleck starred in it and directed it.
I agree with most of the commetns about Skyfall. Too much hype about it and wasn't as good as some reviews made out.

For the life of me I don't know why they had to cast an American with a shit accent to play the lead role. . . it's like we don't have actors in Ireland or something?!

Typical Bond movie, lots of hype, predictable plot and far too long. Its more of a series of car adverts with the odd watch thrown in.

Canalman

Saw 2 remakes at the weekend. Both George A Romero original films I believe........ Dawn of the Dead and The Crazies.
Both daft , cheesey, poorly plotted and eh did I forget to say very watchable. Really enjoyed them both even though it is fair to say neither would be laden down with movie awards.
