Halloween: A Rob Zombie Film 8/10. I know many will question and say the actings shoddy, story isn't great and it's overall just not a very well thought out film, but I enjoy the bloodlust, and I am a fan of the Halloween series anyway. Rob Zombie puts an awful lot of emphasis on sex, in the first scene with the family the stepdad ogles the daughter, and threatens to "crawl over and skull f**k her". Still, I enjoyed it. It was nice to see Roger Rockmore from Keenan & Kel get himself murdered aswell.

I enjoyed that aswell haha. Got you a little break from the storyline aswell.

the/a Curious Case of Benjamin Button (7.5/10) Wanted to go see Friday the 13th for a cheap thrill, instead was goaded to see this. It is on for a very long time, and I did start to get restless towards the end of the film. However, it is a good film, and Pitt's performance in parts in excellent. I wouldn't say it was amazing, but I did enjoy it I must admit. The more I think about it aswell, the more I remember how many particular scenes were really good.

Sat 7th Feb....Blackpool v Doncaster. Going away to Blackpool for a stag weekend tomorrow, thought we'd attend for the sake of it, and I thought I was getting a break from Charlie Adam...

Ending is terrible.

Last night, I also went to see the new Batman movie. Having been a fan of Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker, I was sceptical of how much better Heath Ledger could do. All the death publicity made me even more scepticl due to the fact that it would have likely overrated the film in people's eyes. However, I thought the film was excellent. High profile cast who put in the performances to match their reputations, big budget, good story, good setting and good characters. Heath Ledger's performance was truly outstanding, overshadowing good performances from mostly everyone else. 1 small criticism is that there are so many characters to get to know, but I suppose the running time makes up for that. I didn't get restless at any point. I give it a firm 9/10. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that its now over and I won't be able to see it for the 1st time again, it was that good!
