Dreamcatcher was awesome for about the first 30-45 minutes, to the point where I thought it could be one of my favourite films of all time. Then it went to arse.

In The Loop

This apt little British production fields fast tongues, witty and often abusive dialogue and a quick pace charting the first few days of new aid Toby. Nervous and slightly wet behind the ears, he is immediately thrust into the thick of things as the person he works for, Simon an M.P., blunders pro war sentiments to the press.

The Americans unsurprisingly are delighted with this and begin using him, the new boy and a rather peeved off voice to the Prime Minister for their own means.

The strong point of this film was the script, and the cast who allowed their characters to gnaw away at each other throughout. Lines were delivered very well and left me grinning at times.

8/10

Yeah, it went a little silly after that, still wondering wtf was going on, It just got to a point where so much was going on in such a short space of time.

Was a bit slow at work last night, managed to watch

Quantum of Solace

Not Bond in the classical sense, more like Flemings Bond. Less gadgets, more fights. And he got pissed too!

I like Daniel Craig as Bond.

7/10 subject to change as I watch it in one go, rather than pausing it every 40 mins or so to fingerprint prisoners....

The Langoliers

It begins as a routine flight from Los Angeles to Boston - it becomes a living nightmare. Ten passengers wake in mid-flight. To their horror they are completely alone. Their crewless jet hurtling towards a world very different from the one they left behind. A world in which they may be the last souls alive.

8/10
I think this film is fantastic. Many other people hate it. But for me it's brillaint. Yes the cgi sucks, but I don't think that matters in this type of films.

Taken

Seventeen year-old Kim is the pride and joy of her father Bryan Mills. Bryan is a retired agent who left the Secret Service to be near Kim in California. Kim lives with her mother Lenore and her wealthy stepfather Stuart. Kim manages to convince her reluctant father to allow her to travel to Paris with her friend Amanda. When the girls arrive in Paris they share a cab with a stranger named Peter, and Amanda lets it slip that they are alone in Paris. Using this information an Albanese gang of human traffickers kidnaps the girls. Kim barely has time to call her father and give him information. Her father gets to speak briefly to one of the kidnappers and he promises to kill the kidnappers if they do not let his daughter go free. The kidnapper wishes him "good luck," so Bryan Mills travels to Paris to search for his daughter and her friend.

7/10 good film.
Not all out action. But plenty of it. Spy goes on a killing spree to get his daughter back.

You do know he's won 2 Oscars for direction? (Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby) and often directs films, with his Oscar wins from his directed films in double figures?

Inglorious Bastards (they spell it weird though).

Excellent film, and if you're a fan of Tarantino's previous work you'll love this one.
