Iron Man

Nothing special, but entertaining enough. 5.5/10

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

The Day The Earth Stood Still 2/10

Rotten, in so many ways.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Ratatouille 8/10

Funny and very well done, really enjoyed it.

Record 8.5/10

Bloody hell that film was scary! If I wasn't watching it with 4 pals I doubt I would have made it all the way through.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Just watched From Dusk 'Til Dawn.

I thought it was ok up until the vampires started appearing, then it got a bit silly. I know it's probably supposed to be like that, but it didn't do it for me.

I think Quentin Tarantino is hit and miss, some of his stuff is brilliant, but some (most) of it is rotten!

4/10

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

9/10

Really enjoyed it. The first 15 mins or so were quite slow, but once all the separate groups started interacting it was great, and really made me laugh at times too.

You must be dead inside

Why? The Simpsons has been crap since about season 9. The movie was an episode's worth of jokes spread over an hour and a half.

I know where you're both coming from.

I thought the movie was ok, I laughed quite a lot during it so that's a good sign, but at the same time it wasn't a patch on any of the truly classic episodes from earlier seasons.

I saw Step Brothers last night. I thought it looked terrible but some of my pals wanted to see it and there was nothing else on, but it was actually quite funny.

6/10

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

No Country For Old Men

7.5/10

Good film, really enjoyed it.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Because you didn't get it.

I'm not sure what there was to 'get'. I understand why

the replicant didn't kill Deckard at the end and how Deckard learns what it is to be human almost, but apart from that I have no idea what you're talking about!

I did start watching it at half past 1 in the morning though, so I probably did miss a few things!

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Blade Runner 6/10

I know lots of people love this film, but I wasn't mad for it. Not sure why, just didn't really do it for me.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Spiderman 3

4/10

I saw The Dark Knight a few days ago, and it really showed how good a superhero film can be.

This was rubbish, comparitavely and anyway, though the scene with Peter Parker dancing on the tables in the jazz club is hilarious .

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Aye, I loved the Joker and especially that bit about being "a dog chasing cars". Alfred also had a great line about "some people just want to see the world burn" which I thought was fantastic.

Also in the same scene that Fox tells Wayne that his suit is "cat proof", is that a hint?

Yeah, pretty much everything Alfred said was meaningful in some way. I suppose you could say that about the whole film though, there was no meaningless dialogue, everything said was said for a reason.

And it was definitely a hint! That was actually the first thing I said to my friends when we came out of the cinema! I hope they do the Penguin again as well (maybe not in the same film as Catwoman though?), but not the ridiculous comedy 'Tim Burton' version of Batman Returns. He has the potential to be really terrifying I think.

Edit - Maybe they'll continue the animal theme in the next one (albeit a bit more blatant) and have Penguin and Catwoman?

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

The Dark Knight

Brilliant. None of the "backstory" set up of Begins, it just dives headlong into the story. Ledger is tremendous as The Joker and will rightly be remembered as the definitive version of the character. Bale is great again and Michael Caine is superb with the little screen time he has.

The Harvey Dent/Two Face storyline is really well realised. The whole movie is about opposites. Dent is refered to as the "white knight" more than once, the Joker is basically a shadow of Batman, it's just excellent.

9/10

I saw it at the Imax last night, loved it! 9/10

I agree with you about Dent/Two Face, I loved the way he came to be especially the

charring of the 2 headed coin.

Ledger was outstanding as The Joker, he totally nailed it. He was scary, funny and came across completely insane all at the same time.

I also loved some of the things The Joker came out with, like when he compared himself to a dog chasing a car - he has no idea what he'd do if he caught it, but he just does it anyway. It was clever the way that the Joker was portrayed as a mad chaotic dog, and at the beginning of the film batman needs a new suit - to help him fight dogs .

"The Joker's just a mad dog, I want whoever let him off the leash."

As KB said with the white knight being mentioned etc, there is lots of brilliant wee touches that really made the film.

[Football Lookalikes]

My all time favourite:

Aiden McGeady- Lord of the Dance!

Also, I noticed this one the other day while flicking through the music channels:

Daniel Cousin

Usher

Memento (2000)

A very good movie, that is quite difficult to follow (especially as I have the same condition, albeit a less severe form) as Leonard.

Although if you know that the black and white scenes are in chronological order, and the colour ones are in reverse then it makes it easier to follow.

Very good film with brilliant performances by Carrie Ann Moss and Guy Pearce, and the very talkative Teddy (John Pantoliano), as well as a rather disconcerting cameo from CSI and ER's Jorja Fox.

9/10

Yeah, great film, I'd agree with your rating of 9/10.

It's kind of weird though, but I maybe didn't enjoy Memento as much as I did some other films I'd give as good ratings too. I almost appreciated it more than I enjoyed it if that makes any sense...

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Blade Trinity

2/10

I'd have given it 4, but the whole iPod thing loses it a few points - what a load of shite.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Agree wi most of that.

Scores so low 'cos it was pretty boring and i didn't like any character, and i hated the old guy and Hartnett's wee brother!

Quite a refreshing ending though.

4.5/10

I'd agree with both of you, not very scary and quite predictable.

The only part I'd disagree with is about the ending being refreshing. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so all I'll say is that I thought it was daft.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

I honestly can't wait to see how Del Toro handles The Hobbit. It could be something truly special

I thought Peter Jackson was doing The Hobbit?

I'd probably prefer Jackson, while I love Pan's Labyrinth, Del Toro has had a few stinkers...

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Pan's Labyrinth

Repeated viewing is defiantely kind to this one. An utterly wonderful movie.

10/10

Agreed, I can't think of anything I didn't like about it. Sensational.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

Bruichetta to start with, which was burnt not toasted then spag bolgs which tasted soley of red wine. Really disappointing.

Fair enough. I think the time I was there I got the Bruchetta too, don't remember liking it much. I then got some sort of pasta which was very good, but the thing that would make me go back there is the home made meringue with ice cream, which was unbelievable.

Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

Having heard many good things about the Italian Kitchen in the Merchant City we went there for dinner tonight and the food was dire and service slow and sloppy.

The service in there is pretty poor, the waitresses are daft, annoying and incompetent, but when I was in there the food was really good. What did you get?

[What Are You Listening To?]

Radiohead - Kid A (the album, not the song)

It's one of the greatest of all time in my opinion.

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

Talk of Romero making a sequel next year, just let it go George, you should have given up after Day.

Yeah, he's lost it. I liked the remake of Dawn, but Land of the Dead was awful.

'Wait, don't kill all the zombies. They're just like us, just looking for a place to go...'

[What Was The Last Movie You Watched?]

The New Rambo (I forget what it's officially called)

Very good, as long as you're not expecting anything too thought provoking.

Rambo kills a lot of people .

8/10

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

Don't know if anyone seen it, but on GMTV news hour between 6:00 and 7:00 yesterday morning there was some typical English newspaper hack discussing the previous nights football.

Now I dislike Rangers as much as the next man and agree that the Bremen keeper was attrocious but this knob had obviously been reading the Jimmy Greaves Annual 1983 before he went on air to comment that the keepers gaffes were what we would expect from a 'Scottish keeper'!!

Aye Scottish keepers don't get transferred for £9m these days do they?

English keepers (namely Robinson on umpteen occasions, Carson and James) have never made fucking howlers in the last few years, have they?

You got the impression this eejit had just started covering football and was going on any old stereotype to get him through.

I know .

It's not as if McGregor and Gordon are both better than the English mumber 1 is it?

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

Don't be upset, I finished it this afternoon.

I did my celebration that is usually reserved for Pro Ev goals when I finished it in the library - it's kind of like the Henry finger wag, but better .
