I finally got round to watching Shane Meadow's Dead man's shoes last night what was on film 4 a while back . I wish I'd watched it over Xmas and not waited until now as I thought it was a good film.

Same here. Streamed it on the Xbox from LoveFilm. Fantastic film

Cheers McClennan. Will try work my way through them!

Watched City of War , The story of John Rabe last night. If you liked Schindlers list ,Then you'll like this movie as it's on the same sort of lines but set during the Japanese rape of Nanking in 1937.

Love these. Without going into plot details, the later stages of the second film had me going through an absolute shed load of hankies. But not in a sentimental way.

Have you seen 8 Women?

I think it's enormous fun. A pastiche/homage to all sorts of things, from musicals to country house murder mysteries.

And an absolute dream of a cast. Plus, within that dreamy cast, Catherine Deneuve gets to kiss another woman – and not in a French cheek-to-cheek manner.

That does sound excellent, not least the pastiche. I'll stick to broadband for my girl action though

Watched Gran Torino last night - was reasonable. Wasn't blown away but not exactly dissapointed.

Got Moon to watch tonight. No idea what to expect.


Getting good at watching a full film now!

Done a bit of a piece on the recent Mission Impossible franchise. Global Protocol, Aronofsky and Batman in the post-Bin Laden era
