Avatar Extended Edition 5/10
First time I've watched it since I saw it in the cinema and it really is awfully average without the initial 3D wow factor.

What didn't you like about it ?
I found the whole premise of going 3 dreams 'deep' to plant an idea uninteresting and unbelievable I guess. It's also full of small plot inconsistencies which annoy me;
Saito just takes it for granted they succesfully planted the idea? he was unconcious/dead when Fischer got the new will.
And why was Saito so bloody old.
And if they could just kill themselves at the limbo level to wake up why not do that instead of all the over elaborate kick things
The Rules Of Attraction. I read the book over Christmas and wasn't aware there was a film so gave it a bash. Pretty good, stayed kinda true to the book but missed out quite large bits which I thought were important. Nonetheless, quite a good watch.
And, as we're men - Shannyn Sossamon is amazingly hot in it.
A wise man, you are.

Into the Wild - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/
I quite enjoyed this, but I'm torn between his decision to actually go into the wild. I found the journey towards Alaska interesting, meeting all the different people and stuff, but he was a bit of an idiot to go off on his own. This seems to be the consensus surrounding the real-life event too, and in the final few scenes I couldn't work out whether he was really happy. Alone, cold, starving in the middle of a wrecked bus? Still a good watch, 7.5/10.
Das Experiment - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250258/
Utterly amazing film, based around the Stanford Prison Experiment. The characters slowly developed to actually become their roles; the prisoners terrified of the guards and afraid to step out of line, and the guards power-crazed, willing to do whatever it took to stay in control, even sabotaging the experiment itself. Brilliant, 8.5/10

The Kings Speech
Well I heard some good stuff about the film before hand but really wasn't sure to expect. The basic gist of the story sounds stale at best.
But don't doubt, this is a wonderful film! Firth and the rest of the cast is sublime, often funny, often serious and perfectly addressing the rigours of a most serious moment of our history.
It is pompously wonderful British film.
Do watch. 8/10

Thanks for the recommendation. I watched this last night and thought it was a great movie.
7/10
Rabbit Hole and Blue Valentine
Both compelling films with great performances from Nicole Kidman and Ryan Gosling. my word, Nicole Kidman looks good in this film
7/10 for Rabbit Hole, 8/10 for Blue Valentine.
I also watched Winters Bone, what a load of ****

I've seen all those films.
The King's Speech is by FAR the best film. Have those recommending 127 Hours over it even seen The King's Speech?

Maybe they have, and just have a different opinion than you?
I've seen both and think either would make a good evening's viewing.
Lost in Translation. A good film, not something I'd usually like but I find myself watching it again and again which is very rare for me. Especially so with this genre.
Though, this is the first time I've watched it in a couple of years and I remember the girl being a lot more attractive...

What don't you like about it? I loved it.
Watched Goldeneye last night, surely that film has to take the prize for the best ever film intro scenes, the bungee over the damn was fantastic.
Wish I'd listened to you mate. I've just come back from 127 Hours and found it a bit boring. The beginning was enjoyable, but once "the incident" happened (to avoid spoilers) I just got bored. The ending was good though.
Overall....6.5/10 (but I can see why people might like it....it's a well shot film)
