    Prometheus 
    Still shit, and now MrsF agrees :)
    ^ this
    What I can't understand, is why I have watched it about 6 times though, there are some beautifully shot set pieces that are stunning in HD, and hey Charlize Theron is easy on the eyes, but the rest is just bollox really.

    new Total Recall, watched the end half on sky, Friday, watched the end 2/3 last night on sky, might watch the beginning tonight :D - even though Colin Farrell is a total wanker.

    Flash Gordon.

    Cheesier than a cheesy thing covered in cheese with cheese on the side, but fun.

    And comments about Ornella Muti

    You're talking about the woman of my dreams, Stoo. When she walks down the ramp with Tim Dalton into the rebel camp with those red strides on...........ooooooh my fucking good grief, trouser involuntary.

    Kick Ass 2 - Jim Carey in not totally Fucking annoying shocker. OK, but not quite the same lunatic fun of the first one - they've done some character development, which was a mistake.

    It does have its moments, though.

    well, watched about the 1st hour last night, wasn't gripped. The film looked stunning, but the plot seemed thin. I was shocked at some of the acting, most especially mckellans (sp) who seemed to be going for the Donald Sinden award for hamming it up. THe music was good, but totally out of keeping with the film, and some of it made parts of the film look like an 80's pop video, compete with dry ice, running in slowmo and so on. Maybe I'll go back to the last hour at some point.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    Pacific Rim. Basically it's Godzilla vs Transformers (but without the fun). Even my son, whose idea it was to see this slice of hokum, said it was shit.

    How Idris Elba keeps a straight face thoughout this load of bollocks is beyond me, he deserves an Oscar for not cracking up laughing IMO.

    The Alan Partridge film.

    Thought it was very funny.

    The Tourist - a bit hitchocky, quite good really... Angelina Jolie looks like Lady Penelope in it.

    Pacific Rim - which had sooo much potential and just didn't quite live up to it..

    Word War Z - which was pretty cool in places.. but didn't have quite enough killing going on..

    in fact... I think most of the "epic" movies I've seen in the last few years have failed to live up to the hype..

    Battleship etc..

    Strippers vs Werewolves

    Much better than expected. Still awful, but enjoyably awful.

    Iron Man 3

    Better than 2, not better than 3. I like the idea of Iron Man movies more than I actually like them, I think. The twist, which I wont go into for obvious reasons, was too obvious, but a good effort. 

    Overall I'd give it 7/10


    2001: A Space Odyssey
    First time watching the bluray on a big TV with 5.1 sound. Wonderful. Still ridiculously odd, but soooo amazing to look at and listen to. A proper classic for good reason.

    The "Abbey Road" of sci-fi movies?

    Just caught Elysium. Not a patch on the director's previous film, District 9. It was an obvious plot, which reminded me very much of Ben Bova's 1978 novel "Colony". Matt Damon is always good value for money but the rest of the film was clichéd cardboard rubbish. Disappointed as the premise could have been the cornerstone of an interesting and thoughtful movie, which is the whole point of science fiction.

    Watched my first film in about a year tonight:  Nightmare Alley. 

    I don't really do films but I'm not gigging and it feels really weird and I had this on DVD.  Anyway, Nightmare Alley wasn't all that but it was made in 1947 and cinematic conventions have changed since then.  It did have one good moment in it as the stage mentalist begins his psychic scam by "seeing" the dead daughter of a woman in the audience.
