I saw Jackass 3d last night, more of the same from them, at times brilliant if you like this type of thing.

Saw Brooklyn's Finest last night... haven't enjoyed a movie as much in a wee while... Very entertaining stuff and a good ending too

Same as. A bit of talent in in too.

A Clockwork Orange on ITV4 later. Can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.

A Clockwork Orange is one of the most overrated, nonsensical pieces of film in history. The sheer nonsense and pomposity of it sums ub Kubrick very well.

Turned it off after half an hour. "A pile of shite" would have sufficed.

Went to see Jackass 3D in the cinema tonight. Not normally my cup of tea. Wasn't a fan of the MTV show and didn't see the first two movies. However, I was in stitches laughing the whole way through this film. A complete no-brainer, which is perfect for a Sunday night before the weekend ends.

Plus, I can honestly say, this is the first 3D film I've been to, that I had to duck out of the way 3 or 4 times. I felt a bit stupid afterwards though.

Watched Surrogates earlier on there... almost instantly forgettable, only 80 odd minutes long - more like a TV Movie to be honest

Yea, thought it was decent. 3D worked well. My highlights were the jet engine, slow mo camera for the rocky punches and the american football field goal to the face!

Went to SeeSaw 3D over the weekend.

It's probably the worst of the series. Acting was terrible, much like the 1st one. Still watchable though as it's pretty gruesome. With a nice wee (predictable) twist at the end!

Good:
The Social Network
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

f**king Awful:
Kick-Ass

nrico2006 · November 15, 2010, 08:57:37 AM

The new Karate Kid is decent enough.

Watched Due Date last night.

I dont know what they were trying to achieve with this film.
Its not a by any means a rip roaring comedy as it often seems bitter-sweet, or more edgy comedy.

Good performance by Galifianakis who is genuinely funny but I have read somewhere he hated the script for not being funny enough.
