Watched Vantage Point last night.

B Grade cast, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker. The attempted assassination of the president is told from several different perspectives. Not bad bit like a 2 90 minute epoides of 24. Few plot flaws with continunity and things like that but not bad.

Mathew Fox in the cast precludes me from watching that one.It's bad enough that I have to suffer through his attrocious acting in Lost.

No point trying to hide from your Party of Five addiction now.

Did you like the flick apart from the final 15 minutes jim belushi?
Why would you even bother to enquire.Clearly the man didn't even realise it was a western.
 
Watched "There will be Blood" yesterday.

not bad. Pretty gripping. Daniel Day Lewis plays a pig of a man who you just cannot help but like a little.

" I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!!" Classic line delivered by a insane man.
 
Anyone seen anything good lately?

Today I saw the animated Dr Seuss kids flick 'Horton hears a Who'.
I thought it was well done and my 4yr old son loved it even though much went over his head.
3.5/5.

I've also seen 'The Flock' starring Richard Gere.
What a snorefest. terrible directing, editing and acting. Pass it over if you see it on the shelf..
1/5.

I think the fact that Richard Gere was in it should have sounded the alarm bells early.
 
Jan to late April is the pits when it comes to movie releases.

Everyone holds back after the Oscars till they can get a push into spring and summer blockbuster season in the states.
 
I've been watching the enitre The Wire series recently starting from season 1.

Bloody good.

No-one makes quality TV like HBO.No one!
 
Eastern Promises is pretty good,Naomi Watts and Brad pitt-recently out on DVD.

Kind of finished a bit ubruptly as if they are going to make a sequel.Apart from that was really good though.Quality acting.

8.5/10
 
anyone seen I Am Legend but with the alternate ending?

much much better then the theatrical release. i wont spoil it for anyone but if you liked the build up but hated the ending in the cinema you will love it. it brings the movie up from 2 1/2 stars to at least a 3 1/2. why they used the theatrical ending is a bit of a mystery really

I didn't like any of it, so the ending was inconsequential.

I thought it was stereotypical, cliched Hollywood at it's worst.

cliched hollywood is pearl harbour, independance day, day after tomorrow etc. i actually think its the opposite. its about human kinds failure to grasp their desires and needs while trying to solve their problems without understanding them

its not a GREAT movie but its better then most and will smith was again brilliant. if he can find the right role he will win a best actor oscar

Brad Pitt Evo? Could have sworn it was Viggo Mortenson. Agree with your score.

I recently saw Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale. Based on the true story of a captured pilot involved in action before the official start of the Vietnam War.

Some parts good, some parts ok.

Good time waster
