*shrugs* Drag racing is the only motorsport that counts. OK, I haven't "road tripped" in a drag specific vehicle.... but then I imagine few folks have.

I still think it's a tedious film, the drag scenes were predictable and boring, the social interaction between characters was largly monosylabic. There didn't seem to be much point to the film. It was a bit like watching an amateur documentary of a day at the pod...

Although I must admit, I turned it off after maybe 45 minutes or so... maybe it gets better near the end....

The Quick and The Dead

Great film, good performances all round from a number of well known actors, even if they weren't so at the time (DiCaprio & Crowe).

Was a little surprised that the sex scene between Stone and Crowe was cut from the US version, which altered the feel slightly. Watching it without makes the film slightly less cohesive, there isn't much time spent developing the relationship between Stone and Crowe so it feels strange when they're refusing to shoot each other, etc.

Prince of Persia : Sands of Time

I wasn't sure what this was going to be like, but I was treated to a free(ish) ticket & OMG I LOVED IT!! It's just like what Sinbad and those kind of movies were when I was a kid, but better. The CGI was good, but not overplayed, the acting was excellent & there were elements of 300 (which I also loved) in it. Possibly a little overlong, but still loved it.

8/10

Note to Mr Pitch : Don't EVER speak to me again (offering me sweeties or otherwise ) when I am distracted by a very large Mr Gyllenhall in a state of advanced undress. Once is allowed, just, twice, you don't wanna risk it

I really enjoyed it too actually. Reminded me of a few movies merged into one. The girl in it is so so hot.

I've got this on DVD, will try and watch it over the weekend, the trailers looked really good.

Warrior King - Tony Jaa

I've seen another film of his, Ong-bak so I kind of knew what to expect. I have to say that this takes it to another level The plot is thin, Tony grows up with monks who practice Muay Thai and train with elephants. Someone then comes and nicks his elephant. So he goes to get it back. Cue endless fight scenes coupled with some kick ass stunts that he does.

I have to say that the sound effects are spot on. Normally you listen to the sound effect of a bone breaking for example and think 'meh'. In this film they got the deep, dull crack spot on which put my teeth on edge.

You don't watch this type of film for the story, you watch it for the kick ass stunts & fight scenes, which is something this film has in spades.

8.5/10

I can only echo what Kitten said about Prince of Persia : Sands of Time it was excellent.

I was very impressed with Jake's accent too and as Will said Gemma was very nice

Agree with all that. I thought it was a very enjoyable film, really pleasantly surprised by it

Heheh, sorry, don't know what I was thinking

[Kitten]

Oh yeah! His accent was brilliant.

The huge long one-take fight sequence is awesome. The plot doesn't completely make sense because they were forced to edit it down to a shorter length and some of the scenes they chose to cut were critical to the story line. They figured it was better to keep certain fight sequences in instead

edit: Excuse the poor quality, it's all I can find for now
