I saw that over Christmas, overall I was unimpressed with it.

I also saw Lions for Lambs, a political drama starring Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise, which proved to be a bit more rewarding than watching an elderley Harrison Ford leaping about.

I also saw a rather bizarre horror based on a Stephen King short story callled 1408. A couple of jump out of your seat moments, but it was quite average really.

Casino Royale...yaaas.

'The Strangers', Liv Tyler and her bloke get terrorised in a remote house by 3 largely silent folk in masks. I think this is the most effective horror film I've seen in a while, it's not particularly original in many ways, but has a really unsettling quality to it, I just felt on edge the whole way through - I think 'The Shining' is the only other horror film that holds that status for me…..I think it's a remake of some foreign movie, I recommend a watch anyway.

I have also been watching 'Live And Let Die' and 'The Man With The Golden Gun', the best of the Moore films.

Oh and 'Happy Feet', nominally with the bairn but he ended up going for a snooze - it was OK but took a kind of bizarre detour towards the end….

Was that the one with John Cusack? I quite liked it, weird and freaky..

I wasn't too sure about the Strangers, I know it was based on true events, but half of which they didn't really know anything about, so must of been guessed, just felt it was another of those Texas Chainsaw/Hills have eye's type freaky country folks films

Just realised I need that Joy Division film.

Is it on dvd someplace?

So many questions.

There's also a joy division documentary that came out this year. Not seen it but the reviews are very good. It kinda slipped under the radar i think.

Amazon.com: Joy Division (The Miriam Collection): Tony Wilson, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Peter Saville, Martin Hannett, Annik Honoré, Malcolm Whitehead, Lindsay Reade, Grant Gee: Movies & TV

Control's a great moody movie, never really knew that much about Ian Curtis/Joy Division, but the guy Sam Riley seemed to protray him really well, totally getting the feel for his depression etc they way the movie was shot was quite good too kept it's time Enjoy
