Ha ha, not seen that one either.
Speaking of Ron Howard, Angels & Demons is TV tonight, not a patch on the book, but I still like it

That's crap, but at least it's more fun than The Da Vinci Code, which is horribly turgid.

In short, I found it just SO much more fun.

I don't get all the criticism for it being sexist and misogynistic e.g like the idiot who did the Empire Review - ITS A FREAKING EXPLOITATION PICTURE FFS!. Filth which is out at the moment also has plenty scenes of women in sexy get-up but hypocritical mainstream critics look past that and hail it a excellent film.

I read the Empire review earlier and, unfortunately, found that the paper was too shiny to wipe my arse on! All I can say is that Empire sent the wrong person to review "Machete Kills". He should have reviewed something more up his street like "In the Night Garden" or "Octonauts" and they should've sent someone who can put their tongue in their cheek without dribbling down their multiple chins. T'b' fair I 'ave no idea 'ow many chins the reviewer 'ad, nor do I care!

I will 'ave t' wait t' see "Machete Kills" as both troglets 'ad their birthdays this month 'n' chrimbo's a' comin' so troggi's mate, Pearl, 'as put stoppers in me pockets 'n' rat traps in me wallet t' stop me buyin' useless stuff like DVDs 'n' comics

Ignore Argentofan, EdTV was actually very good.

I too enjoyed Angels and Demons, as you say its not as good as the book which was excellent - a real page turner. Far superior to the boring Da Vinci Code novel which i gave up to half way through.

I read the Da Vinci Code in one sitting during my first night of chemo, literally couldn't put it down. Then my sister brought me Angels & Demons into the hospital the next day and I read that in one sitting too!
The Lost Symbol was good also and I'm yet to read Inferno, but I've heard it's not very good

Reminded me of Pete Walker's Man of Violence (which is much better btw).

I've still not got round to buying Walker's "Man of Violence", I'll have to rectify that come pay day.

You won't regret it.

Its far better than his horror output imo.

... and took the opportunity (its just too hot to wonder round the Disney World resort - perhaps the worst place to hold a conference - and I can't spend the whole afternoon drinking Mojito's) to see Machete Kills which fails to fully recapture the energy and spirit of the original. Instead we get a poorly paced linear narrative with nothing to really drive it. Despite this Mel Gibson's turn as the bad guy is actually a lot of fun and I will be near the front of the queue for Machete Kills Again ...in Space when/if it gets made.

Cinema was quite cool - dine in theatre similar to the concept pioneered by the Alamo Drafthouse - although the young girl serving me refused to allow me to order alcholic drinks (I am in my very early forties) because I had no i.d.!

Don't be afraid of the Dark (2010) Well I certainly wont be!
The Masque of the Red Death (1964) Love the ending when the brothers brag about how many they've killed!
