Today's Movie

[RichardAThackeray]

SWMBO & myself were at a loose end last night so watched 'Paul' on 'Virgin pay-Per-View'

Damned bloody funny, if a little too 'sweary' for me.

However to me it's definately the best Pegg/Frost outing apart from 'Hot Fuzz'

[The devil's own]

That's the best film review i've heard for a while

Thought you'd appreciate it Steve.

let us know what the inbetweeners movie is like ? thou not heard a bad report yet . the series was hilarious !!!

Was quite good: the usual blend of filth, cringe-making, hand-wringing situations, nudity (male, of course). Also surprisingly touching in parts.

Thats good, part of me was expecting a disaster like the league of gentlemen film.

Runaway Train just starting on BBC1
worth a watch if you've not seen it before

Rise of the planet of the apes, which was very good and x men - first class which was also entertaining.
Has anyone seen Our day will come, or Biutiful?

The Wildest Dream - 2010 Documentary/Film about the Mallory/Irvine Everest expedition of 1924.
The route of their ill-fated climb up the North Face is "recreated" by two modern day climbers, one of whom discovered Mallory's
body on an expedition to look for it in 1999. They used modern climbing equipment but they removed the Chinese ladder
from the second step and free climbed it. The letters written between Mallory and his wife Ruth are included as well.
There is some circumstantial evidence that Mallory/Irvine made it to the summit before they died on the return journey and
this film attempts to see whether it was possible in theory they could have reached the summit rather than if they actually did it.
More a documentary than a drama-documentary like 'Touching the Void' for example.

Sounds good Alf, will look out for it.

Watched this myself, was really good. Caught it on BBC2 the other week.

Bridesmaids. An unfunnily crude US film with token uk actors presumably to get token uk support. Funny in a few places but came across as an attempted rip of the hangover but forgetting to be funny and imaginative in the process. God knows how it managed to get some good reviews!
