Love this film too. All round performances were great I thought. Though Danny Glover did seem to be trying to break in a new set of teeth as he appeared to have a lisp or some such when talking.

He also had a strange way of wearing his shades lol.

Have you heard that Neil Blomkamp (District 9) is looking at remaking this?

I love the original but I also love District 9 and would like to see what he could do so am torn by this news.

Yes, same. Normally I would say to leave well alone. But it might be interesting. I would want to see reviews before parting with cash for a cinema ticket though.

Warcraft movie (Prime) - Wasnt as bad as i remembered. Pretty enjoyable as a movie although the plot was a little simplistic but the acting was ok. Travis Fimmel (Ragnar), Ben Foster, Paula Patton and others put in a good shift. The CGI was quite good but can be overbearing in some moments. It was a little daft in places but still a guilty pleasure because of the game. 7/10.

Electric State, enjoyable, but incredibly predictable.

Watched Die Hard on a plane, Air Force One last night. Hadn't seen it for years, terribly cheesy 90's action film, loved it. Harrison Ford was good as the President but Gary Oldman stole the show. 7/10.

Re watched Margin Call. 8/10

Some great performances in this, set during the day before the 2008 financial crisis. The film shows the harsh reality of investment banking and how ruthless it can be.

In 2008 I was working in the IT department for Barclays. At about midnight I had a call from my manager saying everyone needs to come into work in the next few hours and to cascade that down to my team. We were going to make an announcement to the market that we were completely solvent and not about to go under, and we didn't want any IT glitch causing the markets to think we had a financial issue. It was a bit surreal back then. You could feel people genuinely worried.
