Die Hard 4.0
good...to a degree but the older die hards werent abnout immense action but about small clever action, followed by a big explosion.
clearly die hard ppl thought this was not enough and decided to start and continue through the film huge explosions and ott action (like the car going up ramp to hit helicopter, that could have been a boss finishing move but no... just menial part of the facade).
6/10

Coraline:
Very enjoyable and surprisingly disturbing film generally geared at younger audiences. I think it's a shame that it's always going to be compared to A Nightmare on Elm Street because I found it much more enjoyable and very original.
A very solid 4/5
Pink Floyd - The Wall:
Having listened to the album a lot recently and really getting into it, I thought I'd give the film another chance having originally found it quite boring. There really are some amazing sequences in this film but it strangely departs from the music for brief instances or 'nothing in particular', which really wasn't needed. I also don't understand why they cut some of the music out entirely or partially. They cut one of the most chilling and relevant lines out too from Waiting for Worms ("would you like to send our coloured cousins home again, my friend?"), which was also puzzling.
I imagine the film would have been incredibly boring if I wasn't very familiar with the music and the story already, so I can only give the film a 4/5 as a fan of the music.
Either way, it's an English student's wet dream in terms of symbolism. Gustov, check it out!

Just watched The Godfather II.
Very good, but a very different style of film to much of what is around today. It's much more subtle, and slower. It also doesn't really have a beginning and an end, so much as showing a cross section of Michael's life. Very interesting.

Mmm, I would agree that it's 'interesting' but those films are just too slow for me to enjoy them properly.

I loved this film. Got it on DVD. Is one of the few films I have on DVD that I want to have on Bluray. Bit expensive at the moment mind.Iron Man.
Another Stan Lee Marvel comics film, this time based on the character of the same name.
Found it fun, sound effects were good and gave the AV kit a good work out
Good good. I've seen Da Vinci Code and loved that. Waiting to get both on Bluray.
The Hangover, so many laughs from it would certainly recommend it to anyone
Didn't exactly watch it "last night", but if 15 minutes ago counts;
Just watched The Hangover myself, thoroughly enjoyed it
Two very different films last night, The Machinist and Nick And Norah's Infinate Playlist.
The Machinist - fascinating, you have to know why he is how he is and what happened and will happen. Very attention grabbing from the begining. Obviously Bale loosing all that wieght for the role was amazing but his face with the cheekbones and jaw when he stares at himself in the mirror was haunting. Well filmed too (wouldn't know that it was all filmed in Spain). 4/5
Nick and Norah - stuck this on for a real change of pace. Can't remember the last time I watched two films back to back. Anyway, pleasant enough teenage comedy but nothing memorable. 2/5
