Somebody Up There Likes Me

Forget Rocky Graziano v Tony Zale.

The fight I wanted to see was Paul Newman v Steve McQueen...

The Hobbit. Just scrapes into this thread. Very long, not as good as the trilogy, but still has a few good moments. Went in not knowing anything about it and had to ask the missus "is this a 2 parter?" with 1/2 hour to go.

The French Connection

Best car chase in movie history.

Do you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Correct. I really enjoyed the Hobbit, it was a pretty good adaptation of the novel I thought. Love Bilbo's and Gollum's riddle game.

I watched it Sunday.
Not bad
Def could be done in 2 movies I reckon.
Hopefully the next two don't go down hill

Freelancers not a bad film. Quite watchable. The right amount of twists you expect from a movie like this. Forest Whitaker plays a good bad guy.

Jack Reacher - Good mix of Violence, drama and a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure. The bathroom scene where the 2 thugs tried to beat Jack to a pulp was straight out of a 3 stooges episode.

Bernie

Jack Blacks best performance so far.

Man on a wire

Doco on the frenchman who wire walked between the 2 World Trade Center buildings.

Starring 50 cent. Think I will give it a miss.

Good movie, seen it plenty of times before

It Might Get Loud (2008)
Unless you have no interest or can't stand the music of any or all of these guitarists, this is a worthwhile watch for the jams alone.

Loved the bit with Jimmy Page playing air guitar to an early inspiration.

Not sure if I've mentioned this one before, but No Strings Attached has some pretty funny moments for a Rom-Com .. Natalie Portman and Lake Bell are always easy to watch and Kevin Kline still makes me laugh.

[The Sleeping Giant]

When Porn Ends

Doco on ex porn stars and how being in the industry affected them.

Any good? I've got a few Bio's from some of them, but haven't read them all .. Chasey Lain looks like she's lead a hard life these days, does she appear in it?

[The Sleeping Giant]

No. Chasey doesn't, but man has she gone of the rails. Asia carrera, Houston, seka, appear. Interesting doco. Doesn't have a bias one way or the other.
