Burn After Reading.
Really enjoyed it, especially Brad Pitt & George Clooney taking on completely different character types for once. Made the film for me. Not taxing, just an entertaining romp with a couple of WTF! moments. I'd give it...7.5/10. Would watch it again, but wouldn't buy it.

Sixty Six
Another lovely gentle british comedy. A Jewish boy is really looking forward to his Bar Mitzvah in the hope that his family will actually notice him and he'll get attention, only to find out it falls on the date England are playing in the final of World Cup.

Angels & Demons
I'd been looking forward to this film more rather than The Da Vinci Code simply because I preferred its book. Where also I felt The Da Vinci Code was too short to the point it barely resembled any of the book the extended edition of Angels & Demons does a good job. I won't go into any details of the story but this one was done a lot better and I really enjoyed it. Hans Zimmer once again pulls out all the stops and film is well supported by a sweeping soundtrack which was one of the highlights of the film. 7.5/10

Feast
In a remote bar, costumers are advised by a newcomer to seal the place since hunger monsters will attack them in a couple of minutes. The man is immediately devoured and the clients organize a strategy to defend the place under siege of deadly creatures. 2/10 After the first 5 minuets had extremely high hopes for this, such a great start. Reminded me very much of Tarantino work, paused screen with funny info about the characters. But soon after that and the longer the film went on the more dull it got. Which I find odd as I usually like this type of movie. Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood.

I watched the first 10 mins of
District 9 Josh was sat next to me apparently lost in his own little world, playing Lego: Indiana Jones on the DS. "Dad, what's that" "It's a prawn, they're aliens" "Hee hee, Prawns" (back to staring intently at L:IJ)) ... 10 mins later... "OMG DAD, HE JUST KICKED HIS FOOT OFF!!" I turned it off then...

Films really don't freak him out, I watched Hellboy with him, about a year ago, not realising it was a 12. He loved it...
