My dad hated the fact that the droids have a sense of humour, and the fact that clones all have different accents!

Not seen it myself so can't comment.

Watched the Alien quadrilogy for the first time over the weekend:

Alien - 6/10 - I can see why it was so big at the time, but I think it has lost some of the suspense for the current generation
Aliens - 8/10 - Much better, good 80's action!
Alien3 - 7/10 - Another good 'un, like seeing Weaver in all this underwear!
Alien Ressurection - 7/10 - Was expecting another "new" version of a good series, in the same vein as Batman Forever, but was much better than expected. The tealeaf is very cute!

I have to agree with your dad

Alien was an absolute classic in its time, I still rate it now. the suspense was incredible and Sigourney was sexy. after that they went downhill.

Burn After Reading 9/10 I don't really like the Coen's as a rule of thumb but I thought this was superb.

I saw it last night, I usually like the Coen brothers stuff but I thought it was crap. No plot, no humour, stupid ending. Waste of a good cast.

Bond 6/10

Disappointing, just lacking a bit of everything and they have attempted to replicate the fast-paced Bourne in storyline and action.

Sex and the City Movie - reasonable "leave your brain at the door and watch reasonably attractive older women get naked" fare. 6/10

007- 7/10, some scenes way to fast to keep up, but i liked most of it. The theme song was crap as ever though.

Godfather II- 10/10 Brilliant sequel, i can see why this series is so popular.

Zack and Miri - Cracking film 9.5/10, absolutely hilarious. More alike to 40 Year Old Virgin than Superbad so was very happy.

Not a movie but I'll post it in here anyway, Frankie Boyle live, his first stand up DVD.
10 out of feckin 10, the funniest stand up I've seen for a long, long time. I recognised a couple of his gags from Mock the week, but overall I can't fault it.

He's on at demont soon I think, well worth a ticket.

Prince Caspian - 8.5/10 very good and better than the first

Absolutely Duzza, if cruel, sadistic, 'couldn't-give-a-f*ck-who-I-offend' humour is your bag, then I highly recommend.

He spends a lot of time picking on individual members of the audience, absolutely ripping the piss out of them in the cruellest fashion and had me crying with laughter.

Monday or Tuesday. Sold out long ago.

Genius - I think he's leagues ahead of any other stand-up out there.

You clearly have never seen Jimmy Cricket

Clearly some people dont understand humour :icon_wink

Rise of the foot soldier, 7/10. Based on true story (does that mean poetic license to lie your balls off? sorry, exaggerate!) of Clayton Leach ex ICF. Very brutal in places.

That man's brilliant!!

(Talking about that science experiment that re-creates the 'big bang')
"...what a waste of money! If the Government want to see something that moves at a million miles an hour they should come to my house and take a look at my ****ing gas meter!!!"

Class!

He's okay, but I prefer my humour a bit more brutal & fast-paced.
20 mins to tell just one very average gag about the time he interviewed Ang Lee tested my patience to be honest

Nah, i understand he's not for everyone. He's very slow paced, and will go on 10 minute Bill Hicks-esque rants where he doesn't make jokes, but i still think he's the best comedian around to day, or the best stand-up anyway.

Frankie Boyle's DVD is worth every penny.

Funniest man i've seen in a long long time. He's just brutal.
