Salt had a good story line but some of the action was a little over the top, apart from that really enjoyed.

the expendables, I had heard a few bad things about it, I really enjoyed it, gave you a few corny laughs and there were plenty of explosions.

Both good movies!


which one is better you think?

A Beautiful Mind... It's not the normal sort of movie I would watch, but I rated it highly...

Russell Crowe in a different sort of role!

I enjoyed also, a good sports movie. How is it that the left tackle is the second highest paid player on a NFL team? Learn something new everday.

I loved it.
Had to think, kept me guessing and a great ending which is the key to a good movie.

You need to be in that thinking mode to enjoy it.
If you just wanted to lazily catch a flick it might get abit tiresome.


I saw it today and thought it was fantastic

If I thought too hard about the plot I am sure I would find some holes but it's one of those movies you just go along for the ride

Do you think the spinning top at the end was going to fall over or keep spinning?

Really enjoyed From Paris With Love.
Thought Travolta's character was awesome.
Didn't particularly enjoy the other guy's performance, but still a good moofie.

Caught Scott Pilgrim vs The World at West Lakes on Tight-Ar$e Tuesday the other week. Thought it was pretty good. Loved the concept, the video game fight sequences will definitely appeal to the Play Station generation.

Excellent movie. I think it was going to drop, it started to shake a bit. Lol.

I also went and saw SALT with Angelina Jolie.
Another cracking movie.
Inception just shades it but SALT was very good.

I watched Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx Saturday night. Terribly dubbed but still a great movie.

The Times of Harvey Milk

Oscar-winning doco about gay rights campaigner Harvey Milk.

Inspired Gus Van Sant's Oscar-winning biopic.

Both brilliant.

The Other Guys

Funny as hell.

Ten minutes too long but still.

One of the bad guys will grate with Australian audiences...

Interesting. Love Will Ferrell but since Talidega Nights he's struggled a bit, wasn't sure about this one but might check it out now.

Mark Wahlberg and Michael Keaton are good value, too...

Yea, I found it quite funny but thought they went for cheep 'crude' gags a bit too much. Was a good movie, just not a classic like Anchorman (and Elf - I love that movie!).

Was that on SBS last week? I'm certain I watched a show last week about him.
