    ONE TO WATCH AT HOME - If you havnt watch Pans Labyrinth yet then do, a brilliant mix of fantasy and the brutality of Franco's Spain , if you did and enjoyed it watch ' The Devils Backbone' by the same director.

    Saw 3:10 to Yuma on Blu-ray last night. Very good film. Christiam Bale and Russell Crowe were really good in it. Hadn't watched a Western in many a year.

    OK, saw Wall E last Friday, thought the first 35 minutes are about as good a bit of animation your ever likely to see, the second half is for the kid, but the end is a real gasp moment.

    and saw the Dark Knight, tonight, and my 3 feelings are;

    1. 30 to 40 minutes too long
    2. Has one too many moral dilemmas
    3. Gary Oldman is the star, Christian Bale just got on my nerves towards the end

    Didn't particularly notice point 2 Rothko, but as for points one and three that's exactly what Mrs. Algarve and I said, couldn't agree more.

    And what was the point in Cillian Murphy playing the Scarecrow, might as well have been me...

    Really enjoyed 'In Bruges'. The coked up dwarf scene was fantastic.

    Watched the Bank job last night. Really enjoyed it - a good British robbery involving some small time crooks - which is supposed to be a true story. Was there a book written about this job?

    Weird to see Poirot acting as a porn king.. well i think it was him.

    Hellboy II - glossy but not much of a plot, odd bit in the middle when they start singing.. not as good as first one
    Mr Bean's Holiday - saw it last night, cringeworthy in places of course but not as bad as I thought.
    Ghost Rider - managed to watch it all the way through at the weekend, and what an effort, possibly the worst film I've ever seen, closely followed by..
    I could never be your woman - pish poor chick flick (the things we men do for brownie points eh)
    Tenacious D and the pick of destiny - better than I thought, but you have to like ROCK..
    Knocked up - somewhat above average Chick Flick

    Watch both The Happening & Strangers whilst away on holiday........both ok films, nothing special but better than watching x-factor or some other dull celebrity makeover show on telly.

    On the plane they showed Iron Man which was crap - better entertainment watching people sleep.

    Does he have the initial A?

    American Gangster, I thought it was average to be honest.

    I thought The Happening was an absolute shocking film.

    Originally thought it was being done as a "B Film" but then reliased it wasnt and how weak the script and acting was and turned it off 60mins in. Shame cos I normally love M. Night Shyamalan films.

    B - Dont bother mate. Its awful

    I really enjoyed that film, thought it was really clever and the french exchange student thing was a great sub plot

    so both two negatives for happening and american gangster. Had heard american gangster was good.

    er no Da9 - he didnt speak much english.

    like american gangster.

    i bought Napolean Dynamite for Dec last week. even though it was on telly the week before. great film.

    I made Dec watch Grease 2 the other week. can't say he's in a rush to watch that again.

    Like Dark Knight. Got Girl with Pearl Earring for my birthday and thought it was a load of tosh. Also got All That Jazz but Dec won't watch it with me. :-(

    suzi i think you got more of a chance of Dec watching it if it were entitled girl with a pearl necklace.

    It wasn't a bad film, just not as good as the hype, Eastern Promises as an English gangster fim (well Russians in London) is good

    Saw Get Smart yesterday - one or two funny bits, mainly those that appear in the trailer apart from that very little with Terence Stamp as the unconvincing slightly camp baddy - Basically Its Johnny English without the humour.

    Also recently seen Star Wars - The Clone Wars. This really is scraping the barrel. That they managed to get somebody to do a passable impression of Ewan McGregor's odd portrayal of Obe Wan Kanobe was surreal. My son loved it, it was too loud for me to doze off which I so wanted to do.
