I would honestly use an infant as shield to prevent a bullet from hitting that pile of DVD:s. Wouldn't hesitate for even a second. Going to rewatch them all next week, starting from the top and working my way down.

Right you gotta camera. No excuses. Mug shot

Interesting titles there. Of those I've only seen High Tension and Miller's Crossing, the first is not bad and Miller's Crossing is pretty good as you'd expect from a Coen Brother's movie.

Mikadroid: Robokill Beneath Discoclub Layla

Why aren't all movies named like this?

Watched the new Sherlock Holmes this evening cos the Iron Lady was sold out.

Utter shit again, but not surprised.

i found the first one rather pleasant on video

USArsenal

cant wait to see both those movies you mentioned Asa..

watched The Help last night.. thought it was really good, worthy of the buzz its getting.. pretty accurate depiction for Jackson, MS in the 60's.. would give 8/10

also watched The Secret in Their Eyes (Argentinian movie) last night. thought that movie was absolutely fantastic as well. easily 8/10, maybe 8.5/10

Captain

9/10.

The Secret in Their Eyes is a great flick. Watched it in a double header with The Lives of Others, so that was a pretty good night.

Saw the new-ish film Puncture the other night. It's an Erin Brockovich sort of thing about a legal fight to get safety needles into hospitals. Stars the guy from Captain America. I'd say it was pretty average, but I'll give it 6.5/10 because it improved as it went on.

Also watched Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, a strange little sf film from 1961 starring Walter Pidgeon, with guest starring roles for Barbara Eden and Frankie Avalon. The Van Allen Belt gets hyper-radiated threatening the future of the world - only an experimental US nuclear sub can save it. Wouldn't particularly recommend it unless you want to be reminded of the type of fluff that people used to go for (as opposed to what they go for today).

The Secret in Their Eyes was great, went on a bit. Thought the criminal looked like Frank Lampard's brother.

Two lady friends persuaded me to watch Bridesmaids yesterday. It had good reviews so I thought what the hell. And holy fucking shit was it terrible. I think this was payback because I made them watch Rambo once.

Qwiss

Bridesmaids only got such good press because everyone wanted it to be good because it was made by women. It is terrible though.

Women should stay the fk away from comedy.

I like Ruth Jones & Tamsin Greig too. Not sure I can think if many others... Loved Spaced, back in the day, and that was part written by Jessica Stevenson, but I never found her character all that funny.
