What film did you watch last night?

Papi couldn't bring himself to sell or melt down the automaton so he gave it to a museum but obviously it didn't work because he took out parts to make his camera. Hugo's Dad, working at the museum, saw this automaton sitting there going to waste so he took ithome to fix with his son, Hugo. The automaton, made by Papi, had a pre-programmed picture of the rocket in the moon's eye signed by Papi, his most famous film.
Hug's Dad happened to see that film by Papi as his first film as a coincidence, he was about the right age to be a kid when Papi was making the films (i think the film actually went a bit out of its way when Hugo asked Isabelle about his 'granddad'.
Anyway, there is no direct connection between Papi and Hugo's Dad, just a bit of poetic coincidence that a story like this needs to have.

The Adventures Of Tintin .... ok not everyone's cup of tea (even my kids didn't want to watch it lol) but throughly enjoyed by myself, esp. bringing back all those memories 
The wifes brother has taken to wearing a seamans jacket, beanie hat and thick beard. He is now renamed Cpt Haddock.
Max Payne - 7/10 I actually quite like this film. Plus, anything with Meg Griffin is is worth watching.
Harry Brown - 8/10 Great film. The dealer guy looked very much like the lead singer from Muse.

The Woman In Black - 6/10.
Alright if you like that sort of thing. I aren't a fan of "horror" films and so that is perhaps reflected a little too harshly in my scoring. Worth a watch if you're into that, but its unlikely I will watch it again.

Super 8 Goonies-lite meh 5/10
Priest 7.3/10 Actually liked it more than i thought, heard it got crap reviews so i wasnt expecting much. It came across as a cross between Blade, Mad Max and Equilibrium to me. Hope theres a sequel
Got 2 weeks free films at the mo... not sure i can be bothered getting of me **** and walking down to Blockbuster though. (only 1 a day and u have to return next day)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 7/10
I've read people saying that this is a complicated and you have to pay attention, for the most part they are right, I found it complicated only due to the fact that their are so many characters that you have to get to grips with. It's like the first episode of a new police drama where you don't know who anyone is but in the drama you have a few weeks to get used to them.

Just bought"The Assassination of Jessie James by the coward Robert Ford" on bluray(only cost a fiver).Looks like a good western this, starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck,just under 3 hours long though....will save this one for the weekend me thinks.

Just saw Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3D. 4/10. Thats two hours I'll never get back.
I watched Grosse Point Blank. Didn't seem quite as good as I remembered it tbh. I would still give it 8/10 though, as parts of it are hilarious and Dan Aykroyd is brilliant in it, the scenes where he is talking with John Cusack(especially in the diner) are very funny.
Seemed a lot sillier than I remembered, I probably had not seen it for 5 years.

Never enjoyed that film, which is strange as people froth at the mouth in regards it.

Not a bad film and there wasnt anything not to enjoy. It ticket all the right boxes but i felt wanting a little more from it. None the less a great family movie.
7/10
The Grey

This is an action movie that holds a lot more than mindless violence. It had meaning and put accross something that you rarely see in this kind of film.
