Not good.. Not very bad either. If you wanna kill time then why not. Better than going to work! Has decent graphics. Will be watching "cars" in a couple of days Smile

Just finished "Crimson Tide" for the umpteenth time. Very strong performances by Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Looks good too up-resed by the Panasonic player into the Panasonic plasma screen. And the sound fab through the 2 channel Naim rig.

Last night. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" on a recent remaster. They don't often make films that good, more's the pity.

And on rental I had "Days of Glory". Every bit as good as "Saving Private Ryan" imho.

Planet Terror last week: Entertaining film, even with the slightly annoying artificial blemishes to give it an old fashioned cert X feel.Well acted [even Tarrantino's cameo performance didn't ruin it].It's a bit like Shaun of the Dead", only with more guns and gore.
Planning on watching "Zodiac" this evening

Possibly better but, unfortunately, in no way 'uplifting'.

Control - the story of Ian Curtis and Joy Division. Not depressing, just a very sad story.

Frank Darabonts version of Steven Kings The Mist. I enjoyed it in a 60s B movie sort of way but the wife thought it was absolutely laughable. The ending is a knock out though.

An episode from >Dr. House<. We have no television, and watch the few nice things that go on tv on DVD. But without surround. Also, we watch >Inspector Barnaby< on DVD, sometimes. In one of the episodes, the postal office was the one in a village where we spent two weeks last august. Nice to see it.

It breaks my heart.

"No Country For Old Men"

Sucks! Has some great acting but the plot sucks! So if you have actors doing boring roles really well just imagine how boring it can be!

"Cars" was up after that. Now that's a great film. By no means is it a kids only movie. The art is great, the graphics phenomenal and the story very fun and meaningful. Highly recommended Smile

Particularly average IMHO - a waste of 90 minutes music listening time

Couldn't agree more. I was amazed that this was in the cinema here in Brisbane from around September to some time after Christmas. When we saw it people were leaving saying it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. Very 2nd rate.

Cheers

Also agree with you Jim. Enjoyed this one very much. Whether or not it was worthy of an Oscar - who knows but it probably was the best film i saw last year.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Don't have kids and haven't read the books but we've usually enjoyed the others, especially
the one previous to this, but this was tedium to the max.

Scott - what puzzles me is that my wife went to see it with various friends three times at the cinema. I could hardly bare one time.

Must go and ask her what she liked about it.
