I put myself through 'Hot Tub Time Machine' last night. Not great, but not terrible. Great soundtrack though (in my opinion anyway).

My theatre at home in my bedroom is better.  Get chicken and fries or any kind of food and sitback and relax and i'm in paradise - best thing, I get to choose the movie!

'O Brother Where Art Thou' again last night. Really enjoy that film, saw it for the first time in a Media studies class about 5 years ago and went out and picked the DVD up on the same day i think.

Although this is a tv show, has anybody seen 'Eureka'?

Fantastic show, top of my viewing list at the moment..

Recently watched Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy.  Loved Bourne Identity better, 2 good action movies.  Recently watched Red Heat as well with Arnold Schwarzennegger haha, was good action.  Had to laugh because Schwarzennegger is one big tough fella i'd never like to fight haha. 
 
Anybody reckon if Schwarzennegger was playing Cricket that he would have hit a ball from one country to the next?

 It's amazing what they can do in the movies - Arnold is almost a dwarf - stands about 5' 6"  !!

We went to the cinema yesterday without a clue as to what was on.  We got there at 10am and 7 out of the 8 films had already started , so we took in the only one left - The Beaver with Mel Gibson and Jodi Foster.  The theme of a top business executive suffering chronic depression and only being able to communicate via a glove puppet (the beaver) was interesting and quietly amusing as well.  Gibson used an Aussie accent for the beaver , which proved to me that his "natural" voice is an affected one! 
             The film was okay , a but slushy in a typical American way , but watchable. Jodi Foster directed , which was a surprise - I'm unsure if this was her first attempt. Lots of facial close ups of agonised expressions got a little tiresome , but a decent film.   6-10

Went to the cinema for the first time in about 5 years over the Bank Holiday weekend (also went to IKEA for the first time but that's another story) to see the Inbetweeners movie which had been highly recommended to me.

Unfortunately it didn't really live up to the hype for me. Lots of clichés and childish humour - which meant it was just like an extended episode. It did have two or three very funny moments but I'll give it a 6 out of 10.

The whole cinema experience wasn't great either - £9 for a ticket, not particularly comfortable seats and I got to drive all the way there and back and I bought too many jelly beans which were of a poor quality so felt a bit sick afterwards as well.

(I'll probably be appearing on Grumpy Old Men before you know it)

I haven't been to the Cinema since my 2nd year at University. It's gotten to the point where it is prohibitively expensive now.

I dug out my DVD of 'Cabin Fever' the other evening. If you're not familiar with it it's Eli 'Hostel' Roth's first major film and in my opinion is far better that his more recent work. It is somewhat more traditional in terms of horror than Hostel is and is more focussed on the characters/story rather than visuals/gore.

Recommended if you A) enjoy horror and B) if you are a fan of movies such as The Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre..

Saw 'Goldeneye' recently, not a huge fan of Bond movies but i really like that one. I think it's cos i was a massive fan of the N64 game based on it when i was younger so used to watch it quite often.

You're probably the first person I know who don't fancy James Bond movies.

Ha, they're ok, don't like the new ones very much. Grew up watching the Brosnan ones so think they are pretty good.
