Imagine Me & You

A sweet little film, described as lesbian porn for some reason (there isn't any), about a bride who makes eye contact with the female florist at her wedding and can't stop thinking about her.

Well acted, believable roles, some good comedy moments (Luce at the football match

) and a touching ending. Well worth a watch

That has one of my favourite movie scenes in ever (Brody and his son Sean at the dinner table)

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) has quit his job as night guard at the museum and has his own company now where he's making a ton of money. It's been a few years since he was last a guard and he goes to visit the museum after sunset to talk to the exhibits he met there only to find out that they are being shipped to the storage room at the Smithsonian in Washington as they are no longer needed. When they get there he gets a phonecall from Owen Wilson saying that Ahkmenrah's brother is there and he is not a nice person. Cue Stiller flying out to Washington to save his friends.

Watched this while doing my ironing yesterday as background noise and as such it took an hour and a half to iron 7 shirts as I was more interested in watching the film. Very funny and the mini Einsteins are hilarious. Some new characters to go with the old ones and Hank Azaria is very good in his roles, although he does sound very Alan Rickman like ala Die Hard at times.

8/10

Traitor

Don Cheadle plays Samir Horn, a man arrested in Yemen for being a terrorist. Also there are 2 FBI agents played by Guy Pierce and Neal McDonough. After befriending another terrorist in jail they manage to escape and you follow them around the world as they recruit suicide bombers to blow people up. It's not a fast storyline but well paced and quite enjoyable, even if the twist is fairly obvious from the get go.

8/10

The Dark Knight

Caught it on Sky last night, Christian Bale - Growly, Heath Ledger - Mental, Gary Oldman - Gruff, Aaron Eckhart - Crispy, Michael Caine - Cockney.

9/10

Letters from Iwo Jima

Didn't realise that this was directed by Clint Eastwood - it's quite different from others he's done. It's very desaturated - giving it a very pale, washed out look which really suits the film.

It's another foreign language film *thought it'd be best to finish them off* and is actually not that heavy on dialogue luckilly.

I was hoping for a bit more involvement with the characters, rather than the battle ending and then pretty much the end of the film, but in general it gives an interesting perspective on the battle for Iwo Jima.

It's a film that I'd probably watch again, but it'll be a while at least. I'd much rather watch Tora! Tora! Tora! again. *now on Sky Anytime and in HD.

7.5/10

Good Night, and Good Luck

Chasing Commies in America in the 50's
Or rather, hammering the Senator who was chasing Commies in the 50's

Excellent film. Cast is truly excellent and it's fairly close to what happened too - uses some original footage of the hearings etc..

9.5/10

Gran Torino

I've had this for a while but only just got round to watching it.

Excellent film, one of Clint Eastwood's best, I really enjoyed it a lot a lot.

I'd rate it 9.5/10, superb.

Chaos

I was expecting the usual Jason Statham standard but this actually had a reasonably clever plot. Wesley Snipes basically walks through it though and has no character development whatsoever. A couple of great twists, and I didn't completely hate Ryan Phillipe in this, which was nice.

7/10
