It's just one of those movies that pretty much everyone raves about.
In fact, I'm not sure how I've managed to avoid seeing it, lol.

Watched "The Fall" last night. -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/

Not sure who recommended it to me last night but quite a visually epic film, worth getting in blu-ray goodness if possible.

It's a very weird story, and very much arty. The guy who made it budgeted it himself. Worth a watch.

It has such a stunning cast too, even outside of the obvious DeNiro and Pacino headline, such as Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Jon Voight, Dennis Haysbert, Tom Sizemore and Natalie Portman. It's just 3 hours and maintains a constant fast pace. I love it

Mamma Mia

8.5/10

Charming film, great fun especially to sing along too. Wish I'd seen this at the cinema with loads of Abba fans, would be great.
-1 point for the start, both Lana and I thought the start felt a little off, first song and all didn't start things well.
-0.5 for Pierce's voice. Love his acting and all, good voice too, but not suited to the songs he sang.

You're preaching to the converted, mate, and I haven't avoided watching it I have just never got around to it as yet.

Can I take a time out to swoon over Ms.Portman though?

/yummy.

Not so much in Heat because she's barely a teenager .

I was thinking more "Star Wars" and less "Leon".

The Godfather *on Bluray*

Do I need to write anymore?

Transfer and restoration is magnificent and I prefer the original to Part II.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End

Starring
  • Johnny Depp
  • Geoffrey Rush
  • Orlando Bloom
  • Keira Knightly
Piratical romp

7/10 Nowhere near as bad as number two but not actually as good as the first either. I'm happy that I can tick it off as a film watched but I can't see myself going out of my way to ever watch it again despite some funny lines.

Hitman

Thought it was going to be rubbish but it had a half-decent plot, and Timothy the Elephant was actually good as the eponymous character despite my reservations. There were also norks.

7/10


Magnum Force

Great movie - Eastwood at his sneering best. Slightly lacklustre ending but an engaging plot.

8/10
