and me, as I said when I saw it on here found it underwhelming. However I intend to watch it again, as so many people said I got it wrong!

I watched it again and it was better on second viewing.

I actually struggled to hold attention for the first 30 odd minutes, but it was worth forcing it. I think its less a detriment to the film and more a result of hollywood blockbusters destroying my attention span by putting a boob or an explosion in every 15 minutes in most films.

Didn't enjoy Inception.

Just got round to watching Shutter Island, brilliant film.

Very much this - all I got from the second viewing was how great the revolving corridor fight scene was. Quite genius when you know how they made it. That aside it was a 6/10.

Knight And Day = awesome
Went in expecting nothing, but huge summer holiday crowd at the local Cineworld and this is just superb.
Both leads top class, esp Cameron Diaz, who's never been anything but quality in everything she's appeared in imo.
Normally can't be doing with action flicks but can't knock the chasey stuff in this one and it's also tongue in cheek without being OTT or knowing. A few LOL moments. Straight in my top ten for 2010.

Tomorrow could be a trip to see M.Night Shyamalan's new one. As much as I loved his early stuff, I so want this to be bad.

Wow, I thought it was shocking, I would of left if i wasn't with a group of friends. Tom Cruise just played Tom Cruise, (which isn't bad if you like him).  Cameron Diaz was non-existent in the film apart from a 5 mins stint near the end where she shows what perfect comedy timing she has. 

Knight and day = All very dull and predictable. 

Each to there own of course.

just watched this and I'm with chompy. top movie, sits up there with true lies as a great of this very specific genre

[NoflopsHomer]

Watched Tron:Legacy, everything was great apart from the story.

[GrindMachine]

A film I'd recommend if it's still in cinemas near where you are is Jackass ! (hear me out on this one!)

The whole cinema experience is yet to really blow me away (bar avatar of course), but I thought having Jackass in really does make it all the more enjoyable!

Agreed it's very much for the younger viewer (18+ mind you ), and it has little to no story at all but I really enjoyed it! And having not really liked the tv series I was surprised...and some of the shots in the film and effects they put in really were enjoyable to the eye!

[Chompy]

Watched Tron:Legacy, everything was great apart from the story.

Me too. None of it was great, especially the story. Nodded off briefly. And Michael Sheen could have waited for when he plays Johnny Rotten before doing his impression imo.

Script was marv:

Son: "Oh, and you were right..."
Father: "About what?"
Son: "About...everything."

Aah, feck off.

Watched the American last night and loved it; very slow paced and not a lot of action(can see why a lot of critics panned it as boring) but thought it was a good character piece for Clooney. Screen shots were amazin and the setting was beautiful.

Plus his Hooker Bird has some chebs!

[gatso]

new year rewrite of my alltime top 10 influenced by seeing zulu was on today. didn't watch it but remembered how great it is

[the sicilian]

Took the kids to see the new Narnia film.

Pretty much stands with the other two, good fantasy yarn fairly faithful to the book... the end sentiment was hammered home with a jackhammer but all in all good stuff.

It was supposed to be 3D... er dunno if the put the wrong film in the projector but i was the only one in the cinema wearing me designer glasses after 10mins...Booooo it sucked and looked no different with the glasses off

Overall 6.5/10

[sledge13]

Easy A - 80s John Hughes wannabee movie, but fails, odd good moment.

Buried - People are going to love or hate this one, filmed from start to finish in a buried coffin, I enjoyed it...

[TightEnd]

The Tourist: I walked out, horrific script and plot.


Gulliver's travels. Why can't Hollywood do a faithful adapation? Instead we have a juvenile slapstick Jack Black vehicle for those who like butt and pissing jokes. I walked out

[Horneris]

Seems a good time for our Bets Films of 2010:

Thought it was a disappointing year for film to be honest, not many stood out.

1. Inception
2. Shutter Island
3. Kick Ass

Salt just misses out.
