Last movie watched...

... the character is very reminiscent of Old Stoney Face himself - it was great seeing Karl Urban chanelling Robocop in a few scenes of Dredd too!

Y'don't say? here's that early Robocop design:

I'm sure Paul Verhoeven was planning on making it the first Dredd movie?

Dear lord! It's the love child of Robocop and Dredd!

Which makes it at least 3/4's Dredd and a hideous in-bred freak

Lol that song is so funny!

I just finished watching The Hobbit : Unexpected Journey on Blue-Ray. Once again, it was superb, but I fell asleep during the middle of it.

Watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, last night. I must say i really enjoyed it. Knightly and Bloom were not a miss at all, and the inclusion of Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane (as the excellent Blackbeard) spiced up proceedings (especially where Cruz was concerned!). Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp were as good as ever. The standout moments for me were the Mermaid scene and the fountain of youth final battle. In the case of the former, i loved the eerie and seductive nature of the Mermaids, more like Sirens with a penchant for man flesh than The Little Mermaid! The look of the film was beautifully photographed by Dariusz Wolski and directed with visceral aplomb by Rob Marshall. Great fun overall.

Next up: Jonah Hex and Tron Legacy (i bought both for £3 each while out shopping last night).

'Gone'.

A decent thriller starring the lovely Amanda Seyfried.

It's probably full of plot holes but the central performance is great and I warmed to the 'conflicted cop' character too.

Appleseed (2004): Apt is somewhat toothless adaptation of Shirow's master piece. Lacks the gravity of the source comic but almost makes up for it in innovative animation style "gel cell". Not sure what to make of it but it doesn't make me flinch. So that's a start. Oh, and the mobile fortress battle is eye porn.

Appleseed Ex Machina (2007): Meh sequel. Less oomph and previous film and just didn't click with me. The Deunan I know and love from the comics isn't here. Who is this bitchy little scrote?

I watched that last weekend with my girls on my beautiful 3D telly (have I mentioned that before?  It's lovely.  James Stacey's is bigger though) and it was fantastic.

Previously I'd seen it in a cinema, and it had closed captions and was a bit blurry.  I came away feeling non-plussed.  This time round the picture was crystal clear, and the 3D was incredibly effective.  I thoroughly enjoyed it!  The kids loved it too.  They spent the rest of the afternoon playing 'sneaky hobbittses'.

I watched Jonah Hex last weekend - cracking good film

Trying to watch Season 1 of Game of Thrones, but finding it a bit slow up to episode 3. Not much fighting, but then they're probably knackered after all the shagging.

There's not that much fighting, period. If you're still struggling by Episode 3, it's probably not for you...

Cheers

me too, I'm up to episode 6 and loving it. Put the wrong disk in and skipped 2 episodes earlier, which was momentarily confusing, but I'm back on track.
