Hostage

Starring

Bruce Willis
Kevin Pollak
Jimmy Bennett
Michelle Horn

Thriller

6/10 A fairly entertaining way to pass a couple of hours, it's not great and the story doesn't hang together completely but it's not something that you'd feel cheated by watching.

The Bucket List

Inevitably great performances from Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, and a decent supporting role for the overly camp dude from Will and Grace. It's about two guys who learn they have months to live and form a 'Bucket List'; things to do before they kick the bucket. Both characters learn a lot from each other, have an adventure and become good friends. Nice little twist at the end too.

8/10

Red Dragon

Saw this when it first came out but it was on again last night. Absolutely fantastic performances from, naturally, Anthony Hopkins, but also the rest of the cast who seem to have really delved deep for this one. Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton and Harvey Keitel are all superb, and it's a nice twist on the usual serial killer romp as we get a far more in-depth view of the killer's everyday life and how he's a product of his upbringing. Really left me wanting more, and only loses a point because of the slightly contrived way Ed Norton's character suddenly pieces the clues together, and because it uses a few too many tried and tested serial killer clichés.

If you like Red Dragon, try Manhunter which was directed by Michael Mann and came out in the 80's. Red Dragon is the remake of Manhunter. Manhunter is, IMHO, a MUCH better film.

I've seen it, but it was a long time ago. Will have to seek it out again!

The Hudsucker Proxy

Starring

Tim Robbins
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Paul Newman
Charles Durning

Comedy

8/10 I can't say I'd ever heard much about it before but it's great comedy and I say that despite Ms Jason Leigh's accent which is somewhere between great and unbelievably irritating. It's directed by Joel Coen which should give you a fair idea of the style of offbeat comedy you'll get.

Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In)

Starring

Kåre Hedebrant
Lina Leandersson
Per Ragnar
Henrik Dahl

Vampire film

8/10 It's a good film and actually quite sweet with the focus more on the love story than going just for gore. It is subtitled however which may put some people off and unfortunately I've heard rumours that Hollywood is thinking about remaking it already.

Now that's a good movie.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Starring

Hugh Jackman
Liev Schreiber
Danny Huston
Will i Am

Superhero film

6/10 It's entertaining enough to pass the time and it's even quite enjoyable in places but it's slightly unsatisfying in the end because it feels like a wasted opportunity. I'm not a big comic book fan but I think if you are then you'll feel much more disappointed than I did because it is rather haphazard about the way it introduces and discards characters.

I totally agree with all of your comments, but I'm going to be one mark stingier because it begins so well and ends so unsatisfactorily.

7/10

Benders Game

It's a shame that the Futurama feature length specials came to an end just as the writing staff seemed to be getting the hang of writing for an extended format.
Bender get's hooked on old school Dungeons and Dragons and the crew get warped into his twisted roleplaying imaginings. Shambling plot but a high percentage of jokes hit their mark. Some even roll a critical success causing your ribs to break in mirthful appreciation leaving you stunned for 5 rounds.

Way better than Beast with a Billion Backs and funnier than Wild Green Yonder.
8/10

The Devils Rejects - Available On Demand Discount Bargain bucket price of £1.75 I think it was.

Price is Uber cool as I would have paid £3.50 to watch this Beauty of a Film, Proper my kind of film this with Mindless violence & general carnage, Anarchy reigns in this film & it smells as sweet as warm blood dripping from a calfs carcass.

It felt like I had seen this film before

Don't know whether I have or whether it was just a few dreams I'd had in the past that were close.

Anyway get your fingers on that button & sit back for sick, Film starts & the killing starts, The main family/characters are Awesome & you'll have to tell me whether you fell for them as much as I did, Without Spoiling it I want to know whether you actually felt sorry for them later in the film or whether I need to go back & see that Special Doctor over at Loughborough Uni again.

One thing I may have to keep to myself (well away from me Docs) is My Passion for Violent Psycho women, Same with Natural Born Killers I've been in Love with Juliette Lewis ever since the film, There is something Wild & sexually exciting about a Woman who can kick somebody to death.

Right then Get it watch it or I am coming to get you, Woooo Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Very Dodgey Clown in this film so be warned.
