I watched 'Somers Town' last night after a tip-off from Mini.
Its a short black and white film made by British director Shane Meadows of 'This Is England' fame staring the same young lad.
Nice lil story, great cinematography and well worth a watch

Went to see public enemies just and now and I'm well impressed. Everyone acts well, it's really well shot as you would expect with a mann flick, (handheld camera stuff is toned down a bit). I like the story and I particullarly liked the music 8/10

falling down, I dont drink so i figure the hangover was mostly lost on me except the lucky charm chinese guy.

Did Tilda enjoy it too?

Me and Robert De Niro watched Starwars again.

Saw "Sunshine Cleaning" the other night - pretty decent feel good(ish) type film with some laugh out loud bits, well worth a watch in my book!

No, he wasn't in it. That was Tim Curry.

have paused Returner 2/3rd's of the way through whilst the missus makes some tea
confident enough of it's quality to give it a plug
stylish, amusing, future shock sci fi meets triad land Japan
not the deepest film in the world but very enjoyable

Coraline is well worth watching. Pretty sinister for a PG. It has caused a few sleep problems with my 9 year old and her friends, but they still want to see it again...and again...and again. The 3D modeling seems to leave kids with the impression that the characters are very real, so I told them that in real life the button eyed figures are only 5cm tall (total lie, but it worked and I wasn't sure if telling them it was all done with computers would help).
Better than Nightmare Before Christmas and Monster House and more child orientated than The Corpse Bride. Bit of a Roald Dahl feel to the whole thing.

Lagers - the book's awesome, but if the film freaked them, I'd avoid it, they didn't really cut much from Gaiman's story, but I was a bit disturbed by the book, and not at all by the film (really enjoyed it though).

Watched the Star Wars trilogy (4, 5, 6) yesterday.  2 & 3 the day previous, and 1 the day before that.  I think Lucas will go to Hell for retrospectively altering the originals, not to mention coughing robots (General Grievous) and other woeful attempts at humour.

watched Max Payne last night - was alright
passed the time in an entertaining way whilst managing very little in the way of artistic merit

Amen to that. I started watching the first prequel and turned it off in disgust. Never bothered with 2 or 3 after that.

Watchmen. Probably been covered here before, but I saw this on the plane back from N.America last week, and expected an Xmen stylee film but what I saw was quite different and in places fairly cerebral. It took a bit of work to watch - but overall enjoyable. Anyway, there was an interesting interview with the Director in todays Grauniad that explained quite alot (to me who knew nothing about it before)....

I've got the originals on DVD transfer from lase disc rip, well worth getting hold of if your an 'original' star wars fan
