I subbed to this on it's trial run.
Never had any money taken but they did send me issue 1 with a letter explaining about the 're-launch'.

'Good Kill' with Ethan Hawke.

Brilliant film. About a pilot that instead of flying F-16's now flies drones from a GCS in Nevada.

(The whoring bit - My review is here http://www.dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=3774)

Highly recommended.

Accidental Love.

I review films for a living.

I gave this abomination no stars.

I know about it's troubled history but this is simply appalling.

'The Voices' with Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick
Very dark comedy about a man with a mental illness who's pets talk to him. The cat is a nasty fucker.

I predict it will go on to be a bit of a cult hit.

I enjoyed it a lot.

I use medical tape. The sort hospitals use to keep bandages in place. Never tears.

I liked the cover alot.

The rest is pretty darn good too. No point going into details as other forum members have done it better than I could.

A good prog.

I ordered it from 2000 AD direct and received it on Saturday.

Didn't want to post up due to not wanting to spoil it for anyone.

Suffice to say I loved it lots.

Or worse, ones that you think are safely lent against the cistern but then drop down with a slam halfway through, splashing in the piss stream on the way.

There's also a worse possible outcome...

We have one of those in our house. If you step on a certain floorboard whilst urinating the seat comes slamming down. We call it 'The Willy Whacker'.

Annie Hall.

Never seen it before and was really looking forward to it.

It disappointed. Keaton is gorgeous and there are some very funny observations but overall it falls flat to me. Doesn't help that I can't get past Woody Allen's sexual past.

In Bruges

Having been to Bruge twice in the last 8 months I finally got around to watching this.
Excellent film. Very funny and quite touching too.
Also very, very sweary...Which helps  :D

I agree with Zenith paddyk. Don't do anything yourself.

Agreed. Pay someone to burn his place to the ground with him in it.

And make sure you are out that night with a solid alibi.

And Call Saul if you have any problems.  :D

My ten year old came back from a birthday party where he was taken to see Jurassic World and he loved it. Although, when pushed, he conceded it was "maybe a little bit scary if you were wee" (translation: it was fucking terrifying dad).

Folks, we are not the audience.

Very true.
I took my 11 year old and he loved it.

I'm unemployed for the first time in over twenty years. I used to say the hours are great but the pay's shite, but having resorted to signing on the brew it turns out I'm not eligible for Jobseeker's Allowance, so the pay's even shiter than it was. As someone who firmly believes in the Welfare State, this makes me want my National Insurance contributions back.

Never signed on. Tried it once. Didn't agree with me. Wasn't eligible either because I had principles and therefore did not attempt to sign on for years after becoming unemployed and because my stamps were not up to date they wanted me to travel by train, for six months, to sign on with no money. Fuck it.

Had spent 8 years looking after my Son but because the child benefit went to my partner it did not count. My fault. Obviously.

Jurassic World.

It's very meh I'm afraid.

Better than 2 and 3, but not by much.

I thought 3 was much better. Certainly tighter said the bishop to the nun
