Watched the second Boondock Saints film. Shite compared to the first one but they were never going to live up to the first one

I liked it.

Watched a couple of films over the weekend.

Grown Ups - If you like Adam Sandler, you'll enjoy this film. After a run of poor films like Click, Adam is back to his best again. Some good laughs in it.

Knight & Day - Decent enough film, but wasn't brilliant. Didn't hold my attention in bits, found myself checking emails and Twitter on my phone. That said, Daiz sure can control a car!

Green Zone was the only action movie I ever fell asleep while watching. I liked the American.

The Human Centipede is on the SyFy channel (after Sharktopus, how many oscars did that win?) if your sick in the head.

I thought the Green Zone was ok but I agree that the American was very good.

The Lincoln Lawyer is very good too. Someone mentioned Knight and Day, and I was thinking about that yesterday as it was being advertised on Sky and it was that bad a film I actually had to sit down and think if I had actually watched it. I eventually remembered that I had watched the first 30 minutes then turned it off, and I would say its one of the 3 or 4 times in my life when I have just gave up on a film.

Battle Los Angeles was a 2.5 out of 5.

Saw The Searchers again on Friday night. This film just leaves me cold, can't really see how it gets all the plaudits and I am a big fan of John Ford. Have watched it umpteen times and am still not too impressed.

Went with the kids to watch Harry Potter at the weekend - very enjoyable

Yup, watched it yesterday. Much more enjoyable than part 1 of the deathly hallows.

Tried to watch fear and loathing in las vegas last night. Couldn't get into it at all, even in the right frame of mind.

I'd rather meet Hardy for a pint than watch that.

Hardy · July 18, 2011, 04:55:31 PM

I'd rather you watched the film, thanks.

Watched Harry potter 3d last night. I thought it was just ok tbh. That was my first 3d cinema experience and I must say I wasn't overly impressed by that aspect of the film
