  1. Her - I have to agree with Paranoid Android - it was overlong and the story was really more suited for 45 min Twighlight Zone-type series. Recent views ... Noah Worst fillum I've ever paid to watch. Just awful. 0/10 The Abyss (Special Editon) Hadn't seen this James Cameron epic in years and it was still enjoyable. The 25-year-old effects hold up extremely well and the extended footage puts more context around the NTI story arc. If I had a criticism, it would be that it's a bit ovelong and maybe has one climax to many. 8/10 Thor : The Dark World Lots of things crashing into other things and ground being torn up bit random giant object. Guess I'm getting too old for this shit. Meh. 4/10 Man of Steel As above. No charm, Very little humour, Stupid effects. 2/10 The shiteness of the above two movies compelled me to watch .... Jason and the Argonauts Dated effects, Speak-Your-Weight-Machine school of acting, Greek heroes with Brooklyn accents ... but ... Great story, ingenious use of available technology, skeleton sodjers. Superb. 10/10 7th Voyage of Sinbad My personal favourite. As above, with added Cyclops. Fab. 10/10 Non Sci-fi/Fantasy ... The Railway Man Based on fact drama starring Old Woodentop himself, Colin Firth, as the real-life Japanese POW who was involved in building the Thai-Burma Railway line. The film explores the far-reaching consequences of his experiences. Solid film, moving at times. 7/10 The Iceman Purportedly true story of reputed contract killer Richard Kuklinski, starring the always superb Micahel Shannon (he gets a pass Man of Steel). Set in the 60's & 70's and well worth a view. 8/10 Blue Jasmine Cate Blanchett is excellent as the slightly unhinged sister of Sally Hawkins in this Woody Allen tale that really doesn't go anywhere. 6/10 Down the Shore The IMDB synopsis is : "The lives of three childhood friends on the Jersey Shore begin to unravel when a secret from their past is revealed". A slow-moving, well acted story, that isn't all that engaging. It was sad to see the late James Gandolfini in this lethargic movie. 5/10 The Counsellor With a all-star cast, a legendary director and a great writer, this should have been a classic. Instead, it's a complete mess. 4/10
  2. Hi, is the HD500 still for sale?
  3. Succinct I'll have the Supervibe if it's still available
  4. Anyone selling a TC Electronics Nova System? Cash waiting.
  5. What genre of music are you thinking about?
  6. *** Now sold *** Mods, please feel free to delete the thread.
  7. A bit of a long shot this one, but what the hell... I have a Renault Modus 1.5dCi Dynamique - the smaller version of the Scenic - that I bought as a stopgap whilst my main car was off the road. The car is metallic red, 5-door, MOT end of Jan 2015, Taxed 'til May. It's very economical 55-60+ mpg 1.5 diesel Alloy wheels Aircon Electric fwindows 5-door The back seat slide and fold forward, giving a good amount of boot space for band kit. New front brakes New front springs It's very tidy throughout and is very clean inside apart from a manky glue stain on the passenger dashboard that I'm currently trying to remove. The auld radge who owned it before me had the "genius" idea of gluing a plastc box to the dash to keep his specs and maps in, despite the fact that there's already a storage box on the driver side dash. Ideal commuter car. I'm looking for a quality guitar, amp or both. Anyhoo, give me a shout if interested.
  8. This new venture requires a rhythm section, so we're looking for competent musicians who can fill the drum and bass slots. We already have a female vocalist in place and myself on guitar. Musically, we're just looking to cover good-time pub/club classics from 60's through to present day. Our singer can handle a wide range of styles and is keen to include material like Snow Patrol and Adele in the set. We're very open to suggestions Practise, ideally, will be weekly at Captain Tom's or one of the other local venues - again, open to suggestions. Age isn't too important as we're both a bit older Please PM me if interested Thank you.
