Excellent. Will check them both out. :biggrin:

Also, the Dark Knight Returns is fantastic. Simply fantastic. All this time I've been thinking it was Nolan who really made Batman dark and gritty...

Batman is a GOD in Kingdom Come. Believe everything he says, ever.

This Pixar program on BBC 1 is pretty good. I never knew they put A113 as an easter egg in all of their movies. :p:

The director of Monster's Inc doesn't even know where it is. :p:

The studios look awesome as well.

Watched Collateral. Immense film, Michael Mann's actually quite good at the thoughtful stuff as well as the visuals when he wants to be. :holmes:

Collateral is probably my least favourite Mann film. It's good but I definitely prefer Heat and Public Enemies.

Edit: Scratch that! Miami Vice is my least favourite.

I've yet to understand the appeal of WALL-E.

Public enemies is alright. Good film, but nowhere near what it could have been. Heat is obviously his best work. I never saw Miami Vice and I suspect I'm a happier person for it.

It's just one of Pixars' films with an almost instant appeal that I can't really describe, I think the concept is interesting and... well, I guess it's a love it or hate it kind of film

Not a Star Trek fan but re-watched some of it yesterday (the 2009 film), the cast... so much. talent there, they all really worked together well. I didn't even recognise Eric Bana as the main antagonist

Tonight, I was dragged, literally dragged, into seeing 'The Hangover Part II'. The cinema was full and the laughter was incredibly forced and short-lived. Did not enjoy.

I'm going to watch the end of the Louis Theroux prison thing to make up for it.

Just watched Blitz. Really, really not worth it. It's littered with inaccuracies regarding police procedure, for one thing, but that's hardly the main problem. The plot is so incoherent I was genuinely worried that I might have blacked out and missed large portions of the film before so much as fifteen minutes had elapsed. The 'investigation' into the killings is handled so ham-handedly that I felt like screaming at the screen such things as, "What? How is that relevant? Why are you going there?" and "You've got the evidence! Right there! Why are you giving it back to him?" The protagonist is a ridiculous caricature, and the rest of the characters are either so bland as to be non-existent, or apparently from completely different films. I swear that some entire story elements were put in to fill out the time, because there's no relation to the main plotline at all.

Should have saved my money for X-Men tomorrow.
