Johnny English reborn. Loved it.

The Hunger Games = fairly decent adaptation of the book, and a fairly interesting take on the Battle Royale format of putting kids into a fixed area, and they aren't allowed out until only one is left alive.
I read the books on the recommendation of a friend, and the books were really enjoyable and really easy to read (should be considering they are aimed at teenagers), and the film does much of the same. Worth watching, though probably not going to be a game changer for anyone.
Boxing day seen the Hobbit, Bilbo short hairy feet, and could be very annoying doe's here remind you

Going to go see Django Unchained today:
I watched the Bourne Legacy - I dont know why I did it, I knew I was going to be upset by it. To make matters worse they kept refering to Jason Bourne and even showing pictures
The film itself, I couldnt really make head nor tail of it to be honest but I was watching through teary eyes. There gets a point where a film becomes complicated for complicated's sake doesnt there? Its all going on at the same time as the proper Bourne films with the excellent Matt Damon. You've got one mob trying to kill off all the assassins, one mob trying to keep them alive, one 'Super' Assassin in the far east (gets killed by a woman so not sure how Super he was). The new guy had an implant so they could track him, why didnt Bourne? The new guy had to keep popping pills to stay sharpe, Bourne was fine after god knows how long on a boat.
All a bit mental and disjointed.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

Ya some people just can't be replaced. And Matt Damon is one of those people.
Man on a ledge - It was OK. Phone Booth meats Inside man but without the inconvenience of a phone booth being out of service. It did have Genesis Rodriguez which is a massive bonus.

The girl with a dragon tattoo, very slow and not that exciting. The girl getting manipulated by her mentor, having a lesbian session and having sex with the man were the good bits of the film.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I watched a bunch of films over the holidays that I've been meaning to watch for ages.
Best of the lot was A Prophet, or Un Prophete. A young French Arab gets sent to prison and gets his shoes stolen on the first day. By the end of the film he's running the prison and has his own crime family on the outside. I watched this film twice and I never watch anything twice except the first two Godfathers. You've seriously got to watch this film if you haven't seen it.
You also need to watch City of God, Death Instinct and the companion film (google Jaques Mesrine films), The Lives of Others, the Baader Meinhoff Complex, Banlieue 13 and the sequel and Gomorra. I've got a bunch more to watch and if and when I get round to it I'll let you know if they're any good.![]()
Over the festive period I watched Up, Jumanji, Fantastic Mr Fox, Incredible and Cars.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Just realized I was responding to stickgrappler about the wrong movie. Wasn't referring to Drive(which was good) but Flight.
Just finished watched Django Unchained. Really good movie. Takes the whole human suffering thing a new direction. Speaking of human suffering. Lincoln. Seen that too. Long, much like Django but keeping with the historical relevance of the character, interesting and well-made.
Beasts of the Southern Wild. Life on the fringe of society, on the waters of lower Lousiana. Harsh yet beautiful movie to watch. Is up for a few Academy Awards including best picture, along with the others mentioned in last paragraph.

War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise style).
