Five Little Pigs. Ok, it's a made for tv film, based on an Agatha Christie novel, but I had to mention it because it's so long since I've watched or read a Poirot murder mystery and I'd forgotten how wonderfully elaborate her plots are and it's just such an enjoyable experience seeing how the super sleuth unravels the crime.

And actually, the newer Poirots are even better than the older ones. Very nicely put together.

Going The Distance

Chick flick with Drew Barrymore, not a huge chick flick fan but this was quite funny. Why do you never see baby pigeons? lmao

The Traveller aka Mr Nobody - 8/10 - I really enjoyed this movie, even though you can work out exactly what's going to happen after the first half hour, it is definitely still worth watching.

Men! If its not Bruce Lee or something similar he is not happy! Though he does have a soft spot for Charlies Angels! I wonder why that is?

Thats the hairy american right? I like Jackie Chan myself, but at least he is funny.

Now watching Alien Autopsy. Ant and Dec are in it, is quite funny.

Murder in the Mews. Wanted to watch an old Poirot to compare, but I suppose it wasn't the best one to use seeing as it was a short story. In terms of plotting and execution it's perfectly fine, but I still think that they've out did themselves on the later episodes. Still though, Suchet is exactly how I expected the sleuth to look and act like. Amazing in the part.

Sorority Row.
Good for what it was I suppose. I would recommend watching it if you like cheap slasher flicks
Although its just a Scream rip-off

It's a remake of the slightly superior 1983 film The House on Sorority Row - so hardly a Scream rip-off! In fact, every slasher film is pretty much a rip off of the 1970s classics such as Halloween, Black Christmas and films of the Giallo.

Prom Night :')

it was good.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Loved the books, so I'd been intending to see this for a while. It definitely lived up to my expectations, it was fantastic, there were some stange twists to the story which surprised me but they pulled them off effectively even if I didn't see the point in them.

8.5/10

Oh yeah, remember posting in that. I see you watched the English dubbed version as well, I wasnt going to because I thought it would be completely out of sync but it was fine and you wouldnt be able to tell unless you were really looking for it

Yeah. I wish all dubbed movies were like that.

The Invention of Lying

It's a nice idea. But it's just executed really poorly - the friends Gervais has worked himself into in the US aren't really that funny. Rob Lowe, Tina Fey - I understand they're quite big over there, but are they really that funny? They're hit and miss. At best.

There're a few nice drama moments, and the opening is very funny with all of the blunt truth, but the development and plot are just far too uninteresting.

I watched it the other night and have to say, I thought it was crap!

I kinda liked the take on religion when he has to explain to the people about "the man in the sky" but in general it was fairly poor.

(I adore Ricky Gervais, just think he should stick to what he's good at)

Yeah I totally agree!

Funny People - again a really nice dramatic movie. It's nice to see Judd Apatow doing something that's not completely juvenile and based around some guys getting laid or something. That said, it's meant to be a comedian as the main character right? Well I've never, ever, found Adam Sandler funny. Ever.

There's also a total lack of sympathy for the main character who goes through some rare form of leukaemia. Those wanting to see a touching movie will be put off by his total lack of manners, taste, or development. It's a frustrating movie - from the comedy aspect it's LITERALLY 10 knob gags a minute - from the dramatic there's no message. Other than some comedians are wankers.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one Shauny. While the film itself is awful patchy and doesn't know where it's going half the time, I thought Sandler was tremendous in his part - did I actually just say that? - and never played for sympathy or for likeability. I think he nails it, seriously.

Jackie Brown.

One can never get enough of Jackie

The Last Exorcism - Started off really well I thought but then all good a bit much. Plus was really confused with the ending, left loads of unanswered questions. Ending spoilt it for me.
