Who Framed Roger Rabbit. A beautiful, beautiful film. Really digs deep at the psychology of humour without break in the perfect mixed medium beat.

Ghastly McNasty

Tower Block - English film with Sheriden Smith init. Enjoyable enough movie. Thumbs up but not extended.

Tiplodocus

The invention of Lying.

A great premise that didn't go where I expected and really needed 50% more laughs.

It ends up being The Invention Of Love which is where I think it fails. There's a meanness to that idea (love can't exist without lying to yourself) that permeates the whole film and almost makes Jennifer Garner's character unshaggable.

Almost.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

Definitely Not Mister Pops

Killing Them Softly

It's like a badly made Guy Ritchie movie. At one point Tony Soprano parodies himself.
You may quote me on that.

COMMANDO FORCES

The Tournament

20% exciting but 80% yawn inducing bollocks and that 20% may be too high!

Almost.

I find the majority of Ricky Gervais's comedy to be mean and unfunny.
The Invention of Lying is shite.

My last film was Chronicle. Really good fun and I can't wait to see what the director does with the Fantastic Four.

Is it night time already where you're from ThryllSeekyr?  :o

I'd love to watch Oz myself, Sam Raimi doing Oz? That sounds awesome!  :D

It's just after ten oclock at night right now where I am.

Oz was a good movie. I bit of back story on the Land of Oz, the Wizard of Oz, the Good witch and the two evil witchs. There;s even a reference made to the Scarecrow and the Lion.

Attack of the Block. I wanted to enjoy it more, but it fell a bit flat for me. I kept wanting the alien bear-dogs to disembowel the hoodies good and proper.

Talking about Oz, does Bruce Campbell and Raimi's 'Classic' car make an appearance? I wonder how he'd fit the latter into the film!  :lol:

Professor Bear

The sad and beautiful, When the Wind Blows, essentially a eulogy for humanity made in a time when our extinction was a foregone conclusion rather than just a possibility.  It centers on the good things we did and the bonds we formed, and while "Blackly comic" is a term often applied, for me that diminishes the inherent decency at the heart of the work, and misses that through flights of animated fancy here and there that remind us of the imagination and optimism in humanity, it's a doggedly spiritual film that celebrates something that - after we're gone - may never occur again in all of creation.

COMMANDO FORCES

Just watched Unstoppable and it was an entertaining yarn that passed 90 minutes for me!

No sign of the car as far as I can see, but Bruce Campbell makes a appearance as one of the Winkie guards
