Christ on a bike, this Cineworld card doesn't half prompt me to see a load of cack I'd never see if I had to pay £7 for it.
Tonight's was 'Surrogate' or 'Surrogates', I've no idea. I didn't know anything about it before seeing it, except that it had Bruce Willis in it.
In conclusion, lots of clunky dialogue and a plot that was like a shit Matrix.

3000 Miles to Graceland ~ Quite an old movie that I've always meant to see and that I picked up for 2 quid in Asda. Stars Kevin Costner (no wait, come back!) and Kurt Russell along with Courtney Cox looking rather good and playing a role miles from Monica Friends. Actually quite a good film and the best I've seen Kevin Costner in for an age.
Costner plays a nutjob ex-jailbird who claims to be an illegitimate son of Elvis, Kurt Russell plays his ex-jail mate and they meet up for a casino heist in Las Vegas during an Elvis convention, hence the heist being pulled off by Kevin and Kurt along with David Arquette and Christian Slater in full Elvis garb. Remainder of the film is about the predictably messy aftermath, double-crosses ahoy, etc. I suppose in many ways it's quite formulaic but I thought it was well done and the actors involved do a good job. It's also pretty violent. Certainly worth 2 pounds. 8/10.

Interesting casting, given that Kurt Russell played Elvis in a biopic and Christian Slater played the Elvis-obsessed Clarence Whorley in "True Romance".

Yes, yes, I know, I should get out more - but it has won me ££££s playing Quiz machines.

Network again. Still my favourite of all time.

Cool Runnings. Ya dead man? Ya man.

Kurt Russell was in some film with Elvis as a kid wasn't he?

Off to check IMDB, I shall return.

Aye,

It Happened at the World's Fair (1963)

Seems your knowledge of obscure Elvis/Kurt Russell triva isn't as hot as mine, Diesey boy.

The end credits has Kurt Russell miming along to an Elvis number in full garb, I guess it's all connected to the fact he played Elvis....

Yup, there's been talk of a Magneto movie for a while, and an X-Men: First Class movie (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast), which will be impossible to fit in around the current X-movie continuity, but hey-ho...
