This will sound odd, but go see Bridesmaids. Take the missus. We haven't laughed that hard in ages. It is quite wrong at points though - not for the easily offended...

[quote name='MN5']Cowboys and Aliens - Absolutely off the chart . Exactly the right mix of Action, cool lines, annoying people getting blown up and even a touching moment or two. Bond and Solo/Jones are excellent ( well not Oscar excellent but action movie excellent ) and for a movie with a completely ridiculous title it just works brilliantly. 
 
9/10.[/QUOTE] 
 
I want to see this. Do they say "Get on your Spaceship and get outa town!" ? 
 
I watched an oldie the other day that I hadn't seen in years and still really enjoyed it. Quadrophenia. Leslie Ash (the lusted neighbour from Men Behaving Badly) was pretty hot. Sting is perfectly cast as a cool moron, mind you I still hate seeing his scooter smash on the rocks at the end.

Wife said this was very good too, said I'd like it, kinda in the Hangover mold, but better in some ways she said?

Yeah tr - more chick oriented but in a way understandable to dudes.

[quote name='Cactus Jack']Just saw the last Harry Potter film . Thought it was excellent and stayed very close to the book . Special effects and CGI were very good as well . Probably the best of the Harry Potter movies . 8/10[/QUOTE] 
 
Have never seen a Harry Potter movie because for some reason the Daniel Radcliffe irritates me immensely, if you feel the same way check out a flick called My Boy Jack .It's a great story , well acted and Daniel Radcliffe gets machine gunned to death . 
 
Saw the planet of the apes movie the other night, wasn't expecting much after the turd of a film with Wahlberg in it but it was actually bloody good.8/10 Anthny Serkis must get sick of acting in movies and no one seeing his face.

I'm sure he draws no satisfaction from the pile of cash he can dive into as a result. 
 
He was in "Inkheart" though...

I just hope Piri Weepu is getting plenty of royalties from that one as they seem to be using him to model their CGI characters on.

I liked it when i was about fifteen , still enjoyed it last night especially with the cheesy special effects .

I only remember the start and end of The Last StarFighter so this was really the first I have seen (or remember) the film as a whole. 
Really fun film to watch and I love the cheesy music and special effects. 
It would also be one of the few 80s film that I think could be made into a good sequel/remake. 
 
8/10

Great 80's childhood movie mate, complete with some awesome (for their time) computer effects.

Super 8 - well you could tell it was a JJ Abrahms film, shades of Cloverfield, but better, still not great, but decent enough. 
 
Limitless - enjoyed this, Bradley Cooper, Abby Cornish, Robert De Niro; Cooper is a wannabe writer, who meets up with his ex-brother-in-law who offers him a 'trial' drug, all of a sudden, he writes a book, takes on the stock market in a recession, nice wee twist at the end.

Cactus Jack

Just watched No Strings Attached with Mrs Jack . Predictable as hell , though was still quite funny in places and very easy to watch . 7/10

Yeah all well and good but look how shithouse they look compared to Star Wars (1977). Call me biased but I reckon they hold up pretty well even by todays standards. 
 
Last Starfighter ( yes I watched it too ) was good fun to watch again once I got over my wife laughing at me. I have quite happy memories of watching it in the 80's with my Grandfather.

Hired it out for the kids two weeks ago on Blu-Ray and thoroughly enjoyed it. The shit they're doing with graphics these days is phenomenal - I've got a Samsung Series 8 LED (46") and the level of detail has blown my mind.

How is it that you can manage to control the spending to the extent of a 46" LED yet can't get a say in the food prep? Just saying? 
 
Watching Ironclad at the moment (on and off). Gory as!

You should have seen the extended grief I copped for it though! Even though I got it on sale for a song and it has improved the quality of life tenfold. 
 
It is always better to ask forgiveness than permission... but I think I got my last shot with that one <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Extremely over the top Italian buddy cop thriller from the 70's. Taken to a parodic level. 
 
Fun! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
