Watched Twilight the other night. Not as good as the book but fun nontheless. 7.5/10

Mind kept shouting "It's not EDWARD, it's CEDRIC!'

The brief look to camera when BoRap was on was the only bit I laughed at.

Thank god I didn't rent it - was just on sky and I though what the hell... Actually - I laughed at the out-take at the end of the film too.

I was expecting a gag reel after that because I'm sure Myers films are full of people corpsing and ad-libbing. Maybe the DVD has some but I'll not stoop that far!

I loved The Prestige, only watched it recently but want to see it again now I've got the blu-ray from Nokkon to watch.
Loved the ending enough that I would have been quite happy to watch it twice in a row

The IMDB top 250 - 365 challenge I'm guessing.

The last film I watched I think was:

I Am Legend

Starring
  • Will Smith
  • Alice Braga
  • Charlie Tahan
  • Salli Richardson-Whitfield
Thriller

6/10 It's not bad but it's not great either, something like 28 Days Later creates more atmosphere and excitement. It was however rather amusing watching it with someone who jumped at most of the noises regardless of what was on screen.

So - The Prestige

I can't believe it... a film with Bale in it where I don't think his acting is slightly less than two dimensional.

It's a magnificent film. It's beautifully filmed, script is excellent and it's great fun too. Michael Caine is great as always too.

8/10

Bee Movie (again)

I've really got to stick that 500Gb HDD that's sat on my desk in its box into the Sky+ box, as I seem to be watching a lot of kid enforced repeats.

Still BM is a great film. Cheesy ending. Love it

7.5/10

District-9

Not my review as it's not out until start of September in UK but an e-mail from one of my friends who went to see it yesterday....

Film was really ****ing good. They shot it in South Africa for about $30M and the result is some thing that probably couldn't be made in Hollywood. This is very cool, you should make a point of watching it early. If either of you need to convince the girlfriends to go along just sell it as fake documentary about a Johannesburg slum (which it is). Stay away from the trailers too. The fake websites are much more fun (http://www.multinationalunited.com/#/6).

The only thing that could have made this more fun to watch would be if the cinema was serving beer, which in Austin, they do! (On an unrelated note, the Alamo has added Arrogant Bastard Ale to it's menu this month in honor of the new Tarantino movie.)


Really looking forward to it, the on-line reviews have been very good and it sounds like it's going to be one of the best Sci-Fi films in a long time.
