City of Ember - more for the young uns. 6/10

I've seen it, thought it was OK if not a little bizarre.

Would agree with your rating.

Forgot to add that I thought the soundtrack to Juno was superb. From itunes I see that a lot of the tracks were from Bella and Sebastian, never really got into them before.

Kimya Dawson also does a lot of the tracks, she's good.

A few I've watched over last few days,
Missing, (1982), first time I've got to watch it all the way through, 8/10
K-19 Widowmaker, 7.5/10,
The Interpreter, 7/10,
Kiss of the dragon, bloody daft but watchable because it is so daft, 6/10

X-Men Wolverine Origins - watched without all of the special effects finished but loved it 9/10

Somers Town 6/10

An extended Black and White advert for the Eurostar and the opening of the Kings Cross International Station. Enjoyable nonetheless but disappointing considering Meadows' previous work.

Just read they are making a TV series to go with This Is England - interesting.

Taken - 8/10 very enjoyable and some top notch action.

007 Quantum of Solace - good film, always enjoyed the Bond flicks and while this one isn't a patch on Casino Royale I think it has been a bit harshly rated by some. The story is a bit all over the place and it feels a bit like a filler between Craig's first outing as Bond, and the next one. Some good action scenes though and I enjoyed watching it and would watch it again. 8/10

The Hottie & The Nottie - saw this on Sky yesterday, it was pretty dull for the most part. The 'hottie' was played by the not-so-hot Paris Hilton. There was one good scene where some guy gets hit over the head with a guitar at the start.. 3/10

Jumper - also saw this on Sky yesterday. Odd story, but some good visual effects and good action scenes. On the whole it was an enjoyable watch. 6/10

Hot Rod - don't think I've reviewed this one yet, I originally saw it on Sky and enjoyed it so much I bought it on dvd as well. Great comedy film about a wannabe stuntman who attempts all sorts of stunts that go wrong leading to some side-splittingly funny scenes. Very tongue in cheek comedy, has piss-take references to old films like Flashdance and stars the rather sexy Isla Fisher. To top it off it has an excellent soundtrack comprised mostly of songs from Europe's 'The Final Countdown' album. Great stuff - 9/10.

I dont give a toss about the men. I think Jordana Brewster is quite possibly the 2nd best looking women on this planet.

fecking gorgeous!

I just want to toss off about the men. I think the blokes are all

You make me sick, I hope they give the back of the seats a rub down after these shows.

Sin Nombre

I don't know if it will be released in England - it seems much more suited to an American audience given the subject matter - Latin American immigration to the U.S. - but if it does I thoroughly recommend it.

Futurama : Into the Wild Green Yonder - God, they shoulve stopped the series when they stopped the series all 4 of the movies were awful, and what a scrambled together, shitty ending 3/10

Monsters Vs Aliens 3D - 9/10 brilliantly funny and well animated, would definately recommend paying the couple of quid extra to see the 3D version, really makes a huge difference.

I took the kids to see that yesterday, personally I'd only give it a 7/10 but you're right about the 3D, well worth the extra.

 

[H T B]

Step Brothers, 7/10, some laugh out loud moments, mixed with some good toilet humour, overall bloody daft but funny in places

Eden Lake, 7.5/10, some of the geezers from "This is England", nasty shits. Makes you think what would you do in that situation?

 

[SwedeFox]

Anyone seen The Boat That Rocked?

Bridge to Terabithia - 7/10 starts of nutty and fun, then get's very very sad, though who know my film sentimentality will not be suprised to hear it had me in tears again.

Three Colours Trilogy - 7/10. It's alright - Kieslowski is a decent bloke tho.
