The DamnED United and Michael Sheen. I don't do actors! Had never heard of him till this week

You'd never heard of Michael Sheen? Frost/Nixon?

i watched kite runner last night...what a bloody belting film ,if i was female id of bawled lol

Read the book Abbey. You'll wail like a little girl.

Pity, both are outstanding.

I picked it up at blockbuster on pre owned - it's the most atmospheric and scary game I've played. The ambient sound effects are terrifying. I'm up to chapter 3 and although I've heard it's a bit short

Not really.

There's no denying Jackson's genius as a performer but frankly he's just far too barking to be taken seriously these days. Car crash is right.

Before becoming a fixture in the gossip pages for banging Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston and any other blonge with a pulse, John Mayer was best known as one of America's best young song-writers. His latest live album Where The Light Is is absolutely fantastic and worthy of a purchase. One cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin' is worth the money album alone.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that this is going to be good in the same way that The Godfather is good, but you can't help but be excited by the prospect of seeing these guys taking names in a serious manner. Oh and Arnie's only got a cameo.

I saw Frost/Nixon yesterday. It's absolutely superb.

Yeah thats the one. Not sure why they have said that. I know of 8 people who have seen it, all rate it as the best film for ages.

Perhaps they need to see more films.

Yeah she's a goddess.

Most articles on MSN are crap but I thought this was pretty funny.

So the Spirit is as overhyped as the frankly rubbish Sin City?

Sin City is good. This wasn't.

I watched `The Pursuit of Happiness` starring Will Smith last night.What a really good film! Great acting off Will and whilst normally I don`t get emotional with regards to films,in this instance i couldn`t help myself.Partly because there were some parallels to my own personal life,but mainly because you really get a sense of the desperation of Smiths character in his struggle to give his son a decent standard of living.

Make that any standard of living. Great movie.

Added bonus is Marisa Tomei topless.

I was going to see The Wrestler anyway, but at least now I know it'll be worth it.

I've seen three films this week:

Changeling: Excellent film, eerie atmosphere, very intense, fantastic performance all round. Clint hits the jackpot again.

Australia: Very OTT yet great fun. It drags on for a bit but overall it's a great spectacle.

The Spirit: A whole lot of meh. Aside from Scarlett Johansson's lovely cleavage and Eva Mendes's rear, this has nothing to offer. Samuel L. Jackson hams it up admirably but he clearly knows the whole thing's a bit of a joke.

The day the earth stood still is poor. Will smiths film I have, but still havent watched it yet.

Watched a great film last week - "Taken"

Taken? Isn't that the Liam Neeson film generally viewed as one of the worst films of the last year? I read this review and decided against it.

Not bad. He did a few of those awful piano-based dirges that he seems fond of but other than that he was good.

I had the chance to go see Coldplay on the 23rd as a friend of a friend dropped out. I'm not really that big a fan but I have to say they were very good.

3:10 to Yuma is a cracking film!

Whereas Harsh Times is a complete load of old manure.

Couldn't disagree more.

I thought Harsh Times was excellent and 3:10 To Yuma was very disappointing.

So I got Fallout 3 in HMV's sale yesterday. I played it yesterday evening for 30 minutes and HATED it. I understand that it's an RPG so I wasn't surprised to see all the things one would associate with that genre, but what appalled me most was the animation. The character interaction and movement (especially in the third person - a style of play that I favour over the raft of lazy FPS title out there) was like something from an early PS2 title. Characters moon-walking on the spot is one example and an early scuffle with some bullies was laughable in its design and execution. I'm sorry but I can't see what the fuss was about. I managed to get my money back at HMV this morning. I know I played very little of it, but there is a feeling that every gamer gets when you know that something's not quite right with your new purchase. I've got the same feeling about Far Cry 2 which is far too vast, mediocre and boring between the confusingly assembled 'main' stories. I plan to trade it in on Monday. Perhaps for COD5.

I watched the first hour of The Chronicles of Narnia last night. It was utterly dreadful. I appreciate that no fantasy film will ever top LOTR but frankly I found this one to be rather embarrassing.

I'm amazed to see Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah is the Christmas number two...obviously not happy that the X-Factor's version has beaten it to number one, but still...it's rare for such a great song to get anywhere near the charts, especially at Christmas when it's generally filled with novelty crap.

It inspired me to listen to the album 'Grace' again, I haven't heard it for years and kind of forgot how good it was...especially this song.

Grace is so good that I don't want to ruin it by listening to it too often. Every so often I'll put it on the iTunes and be reminded of how big a talent we lost when Buckley went.

Anyway, I bought Black Stone Cherry's Folklore and Superstition in the sales today. It's very RAWK but very good. I also got Talib Kweli's Quality for Christmas. I'd recommend it to any fans of proper east coast hip-hop.

This is pretty much how I remember Shane McGowan when the Pogues appeared in Birmingham and Blackburn (twice) in the mid 80's. Perhaps thats why Andrew 'The Clobberer' Ranken used to play the drums standing up!

I find McGowan quite embarrassing to be honest. Fortunately he's English so it could be worse.

No idea what it's about but this looks the mutt's nuts.

Just watched one of the best movies ever!

Get it, watch it, it will, it should blow you away!! Its called Gran Torino

That's looks ace. Where did you see it?

Without revealing any spoilers, can anyone who has played Far Cry 2 tell me how to obtain more malaria medicine? I think I'm running out.

Aside from 3:10 To Yuma.

Anyway, I'm just back from The Day The Earth Stood Still...MEH.
