Hmm I wish you hadn't said that TJ... I watched the first 90 minutes and then had to go and was planning to watch the second half this week. The first half was much better than I thought it would be, Jonah Hill was very good in it.

Na you're alright mate I was kidding. I couldn't believe how good it was so I guess it stands to reason that it might go downhill in the second half. I found a similar experience when watching Hancock - brilliant first half and then it goes to hell fast.

I've seen a number of movies over the last few weeks, some of them very good, some decent and some poor.

I saw the new Tom Hardy film Locke last night and thought it was excellent. I downloaded the new Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet movie Labor Day on Saturday and really enjoyed it. I went to The Raid 2 last week and loved it. Extremely violent, even compared to The Raid, but it's a great follow up. Other films that I've seen over the last few months and would recommend include Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Grand Budapest Hotel, All Is Lost, The Hunt, 300: Rise Of An Empire, Lone Survivor, Dallas Buyers Club, Inside Llewyn Davis, Wolf Of Wall Street, Out Of The Furnace, 12 Years A Slave and Seven Psycopaths. I also saw Her, American Hustle and Blue Caprice, but was disappointed with them.

Her - is that the one where Scarlet Johansson is the voice of the computer? Went to see Under The Skin (with Ms Johansson) the other week, only go and see it if you're into films where all you're given is a totally blank canvas, like 2001 but even more so. Some folk will think it's a work of genius, some will think it's two hours of their life they'll never get back.

American hustle was good

I watched the "new" Robocop last night and actually really enjoyed it. Thought there was no chance I'd like it after the adverts and the fact I love the original but this was very well done and not a bad story. The only bit I have issues with is why he would suddenly go after the owner of omcicorp, it really didn't have the feeling of him being a bid bad like Dick Jones in the original.

Finally got round to watching The Dark Knight (I know), and I really liked it. I'll watch the one with Bane in a few years time......................Also watched The Lives of Others and Downfall again. Both great films.

Not sure which DVD I'll watch tonight, but it might be The Sting.

Watched 'The Worlds end' last night and really enjoyed it

On the flip side I watched a film called the devils pass a few weeks back about some people following the footsteps and making a documentary about the Dylatlov Pass incident; decent for the first half then truly awful after that

Finally watched Martyrs - absolutely brutal but with a story to take it away from the usual 'torture porn'

Hard to watch but a good film

Dallas Buyers Club is good, Amazing Spider-Man not so much for me. Best parts were some of the one liners he came up with, that's about it.

Then again maybe that is because I'm sick of the plethora of superhero films that are invading our screens nowadays, I'm sick to the back teeth of them. They don't impress me anymore and it's too hard to keep track of them all.
