Today's Movie

Despicable Me 2

Intellectually a bit of a stretch for me.

Alan Partridge Alpha Papa, adequately entertaining.

The Worlds End, also adequately entertaining. But slightly less so.

I don't go to the cinema often, maybe once or twice a year and it goes up in price every time. £8 for the Hobbit. Is this standard rates or was I paying extra to sit in a nice place with no kids messing around.
Thinking about it I don't go often because I'm anti-social..

Kids ruin cinemas for me, and restaurants.

Not that I'd ever stop folks taking their kids places. But sheesh they can be annoying. Oh well.

I watched The Last Stand with Arnie in it the other day also, not a bad film one of those you can just sit and watch, no brains no fuss.
I watched it at home, alone, no distractions. Other than my dog wanting out for a poopy..

The Hobbit was £11 a ticket at IMAX so I think you got off lightly! I also had to sit with someone behind me kicking my chair all the way through but, to be fair, the legroom was designed for someone that was 5'2" so he may well have just been trying to get comfy. Other than that, it was good :)

Side Effects - 2013 Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jude Law directed by Steven Soderburgh. Very good thriller though the resolution of the plot felt a little rushed.

Watched 'The Worlds End' by the guys who did Shaun of the Dead.
Fell asleep half way through and only finished it to see what happened.
Waste of time..

I loved world's end. It also made a great point about of the blandness of a lot of towns nowadays (and the starbucksation of everything). Also I loved how everyone got better and better at fighting, the more they drank. Simon Pegg is my hero :)

I thought I'd enjoy it but wasn't impressed! Seemed a bit 'starbucksation' itself. The fighting was pretty good though!

Watch John Carter http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401729/ last night. Enjoyed it, nice bit of sci fi on mars!

'Transplanted to Mars, a Civil War vet discovers a lush planet inhabited by 12-foot tall barbarians. Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter a princess who is in desperate need of a savior.'

Not a bad film if your stuck for something to watch!

Not many of these about...a British road movie. You have to excuse Lenny Henry's dodgy Scouse accent though. Good soundtrack, Pete Postlethwaite, there's even good old Bobby Knutt. :)
