  1. Inside Man - An entertaining 8/10 Karate Kid - A nostalgic 7/10
  2. If you ever fly from here to the US with United then don't look forward to decent films !! Over the Hedge - fairly entertaining 5/10 She's the Man - not about Lady Boys but about a girl who impersonates her brother so that she can play "soccer", Vinnie Jones 'stars' as the coach - utter pish 3/10 Flight back was somewhat better The Sentinel - 7/10 X-Men The Last Stand - 7/10
  3. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown "Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor of symbology, receives an urgent late-night call while in Paris: the curator of the Louvre has been murdered. Alongside the body is a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci - and further. The curator, part of a secret society named the Priory of Sion, may have sacrificed his life to keep secret the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. It appears that the clandestine Vatican-sanctioned Catholic sect Opus Dei has now made its move. Unless Landon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's secret - and a stunning historical truth - will be lost forever." Excellent 9/10 The Long Way Round - Charley Boorman & Ewan McGregor "It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor - actor and self-confessed bike nut - noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. So he picked up the phone and called Charley Boorman, his best friend, fellow actor and bike enthusiast. 'Charley,' he said. 'I think you ought to come over for dinner.' Riding 20,000 miles across increasingly tough terrain, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream." Good 7/10
  4. Black Hawk Down Amazingly it's the first time I've ever watched it ! Thought it was pretty good apart from Messrs Bremner, McGregor and Bloom's rank awful American accents 8/10
  5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest OK, not as good as the first one 7/10
  6. Flightplan Utter pap, fell asleep half way through and still worked out what was happening 4/10 The Lost Boys Excellent 8/10 Currently watching Lethal Weapon, again excellent 8/10
  7. Da Vinci Code - 7/10 Haven't read the book, thought it was a decent enough story. Numb bum rating of 9/10 though, goes on for quite a long time !! And if another 70 year old sitting near me said "When does Rosslyn appear" I would have started smacked them !! 92
  8. Stealth No bad but entirely predictable. Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, Wargames...the list is endless, when will Man learn not to trust machines ? 6/10 Ocean's Twelve Fairly entertaining 7/10
  9. Mars Attacks! Pish, but highly enjoyable pish 6/10 "Do not run away, we come in Peace"
  10. Speaking of which, I usually hate JK & Joel, but their playing 2 hours of classic tunes at the moment on Radio 1 - Prince Charming by Adam & the Ants at the moment
  11. Hang on, it's only Good Friday. I thought you couldn't eat Easter eggs until Sunday ? That's like blasphamy isn't it ? I fully expect a band of p!ssed off Christian fanatics to be making their way to your house right now !
  12. Fantastic Four Rairly entertaining 7/10 Batman Begins Much better than the previous Batman pish 8/10
  13. Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation 1/10 Utter, utter pish. As a review on IMDB says "And that's a good hour and 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back... Thanks...... This movie was quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life"
  14. Madagascar 5/10 Not as good as I'd been led to believe, not enough of the Penguins for my liking
  15. Great minds eh !! Hellboy not bad, but not brilliant 6/10
  16. Catwoman - I could watch Halle Berry all day but this was rank awful. 1/10 (and that 1 would be given to Ms Berry )
  17. Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit Entertaining and very funny in parts 8/10
  18. Flight of the Phoenix Pap 4/10 Aliens (Director's cut) Quality 9/10 Team America World Police OK but not as good as I'd been led to believe 6/10
