Oh, it's enjoyable enough and has one of the most unintentionally funny set pieces ever...

You know the one...Dr Grant and the boy are on the wrong side of the electrified fence.

They hear the satellite phone, turn round and face the humongous Spinosaurus, which has somehow crept up on them (despite shaking the ground earlier in the movie).

It never fails to crease me when Dr Grant whisper out of the corner of his mouth ... "Run!"

... as if the dinosaur can hear, let alone understand him. Gold.

But for all that, highly entertaining bobbins.

Oldboy - Korean revenge flick. Fucking ace fight scenes, lulls a bit in the middle, but then a super fucking sick double-or-triple-twist stuck into you right at the end. Fucking yaldie.

Aye OldBoys absolutely banging. Its the best of the three Vengeance films as well. Though have to say I find Sympathy for Lady Vengeance a lot more disturbing.

Watched Curious Case of Benjamin Button at the weekend. Despite a pretty lacklustre ending, though suppose its hard to make a baby dying exciting, thought it was pretty good. Thought it a top notch performance by Pitt as well. And suprisingly, despite hating Tilda Swinton, she wasn't bad either. Though I suppose you can understand why it was criticised for being a showboat for the technology.

Rewatched Ratatouille and Usual Suspects aswell. Both of which are brilliant. Think Pixar are just getting better and better. Thoroughly looking forward to Up. As for Usual Suspects, there just arent enough movies like this.

Breaking the Waves: Set in Scotland c. 1970s, it tells the story of a local lass who marries a Norwegian oil worker and their life after an accident. My biggest issue was that it was too long: 2 hours of slow churning, a 30 min spike of insane drama and then back to the churn for another 20 mins. It's not exactly uplifting, mainly because it covers topics like love / monogamy / religion / disability. It's filmed using a shaky-cam, which can get quite annoying and the very last scene is 100% totally stupid.

The biggest reason to watch this film is Emily Watson's outstanding performance, first major role and she absolutely stole the show. The rest of the cast are also brilliant - which makes the story more believable and essentially keeps you watching. The soundtrack's also pretty good. I love Lars Von Trier's stuff, but this isn't his strongest film.

A good piece of film that's well worth watching... if you can last to the end. 6/10

This lunchtime I just watched Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.



It's amongst some of the worst films I've ever seen, and I've seen the first two Fast and Furious'

Red Sonia: not the type of film you're going to sit down and properly analyse, so here's my favourite things about it.

• bunch of blondes with long swords (and longer pins)
• 60 foot squatting stone Buddha, 30 foot stone bull, and other the massive props
• Arnie's RAGING cod-piece
• Arnie's RAGING growl at the kid
• Everyone's unnecessarily impractical fighting gear
• Bunch of bad guys wearing jeans (in the middle-ages)
• Agile mechanical dragon-serpent (in the middle-ages)
• Brigette Nielsen's outstanding pins - before she turned into a mess.
• Everyone trying their hardest to see who can act the worst.

Overall I love how Arnie keeps appearing, and risking his life to save an incompetent ginger woman that hates all men!!! Would be brilliant after a few drinks. Utter cheese, but totally watchable. 6/10

Anvil! : The Story of Anvil

Absolutely superb.

Touted as a "documentary", but too stagey and melodramatic to be for real.

Still, it's a great watch and Lips (singer/guitarist/leader) is just so likeable that it's hard not to root for them.

I watched 8MM recently and what a great movie...the only thing that let it down was Nic Cage and his ridiculous acting....really do not like him or believe him as an actor...Tom Hanks now there's an actor!

Great movie, sad!

I used to be called Dory for my short term memory loved Nemo!
