It was OK. A flawed but affable romp.

I agree with you there, Goj. I really didn't think that much of Inception - for me it never lived up to it's hype. But loads of people like it, so each to their own.

Last night I watched Bloody Birthday for the first time. All was going well until for some unknown reason the image was replaced by green/blue blocks! Faulty DVD from Anchor Bay? Tut tut tut - it was brand new - never been played before. It didn't even work at all on my Xbox so I doubt it was the player. Looks like I'll be sending it back. Oh well, what I saw of the film I really enjoyed - both fun and innovative (nice twist to the slasher sub-genre). Recommended - based on what I saw, of course.

just finished watching The Social Network and really enjoyed it, Fincher's direction is spot on and Jesse Eisenberg is brilliant as the founder of Facebook. Justin Timberlake is also pretty good. Highly recommend this...

I consider Metropolis to be a masterpiece and I thought the DVD was excellent when that was provided for review and now have bought the Blu-ray which is even better when it comes to the AV quality. It obviously won't be a film for everyone but, if you like science fiction and don't mind silent films with intertitles, then this should be right up your street.

I've never heard of it, it does look bad though.

Does Rivers run her mouth like her mother?

I finally got around to watching Splintered and kind of wish I didn't in the end

Grace (2009) is another one I watched this week it's worth a look, it's pretty dark stuff but not for everyone.

Frozen River
Unstoppable.

All very entertaining.

I thought Frozen was really good. So simple a premise that If you tried to describe it to someone, they'd probably go, yeah sounds really interstiing! And it would be their loss for giving it a miss.

Watched Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins for the umpteenth time. The old age makeup on Joel Grey is one of the best I've ever seen. It's one of the only times that I've ever seen someone they way they really look after watching a film and being amazed that they weren't really an old man!
