Real Steel - cliched, and daft, but a lot of fun.
Kid is annoying, mind. 7/10.

**the 12 th man** · 18/10/2011, 10:02 AM

"The New Daughter",Kevin Costner after a divorce moves into a new house in the countryside and his young daughter starts acting strange,mild horror.6/10

**SaucyJack** · 18/10/2011, 1:42 PM

"Wrecked"- I don't think Adrian Brody has been in too many decent films since his Oscar, but this thriller is pretty decent, he wakes up trapped in a car that's crashed in the woods and has to figure out how he got there, and how to escape...7/10.

Watched Tetro last night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0964185/
About the relationship between two brothers and their father. 7/10

Agreed about it being a lot of fun, and the kid. Would've scored it 5/10 due to it being a "virtual" Rocky I remake, especially the ending, even with its own Adrienne.

What's my number - Now, Anna Faris is one of the sexiest actresses on the go, and even though she sounds a bit rough in this movie, she's still hot. But the movie is awful. You know the ending 5 minutes in, it's completely unrealistic, there are 2 laughs in it and the whole idea is so dumb it's boring. I thought it was a testosterone based decision on my part to dislike it, but her indoors thought it was one of the worst movies she's seen. 2/10 (only for Anna Faris).

Kings Speech - Caught it on a flight to the UK a couple of weeks back and while I thought it was poor mans version of The Madness of King George, it did the job. Scathing about Edward and Wallis Simpson, it showed the old queen mother as a right waggon, Elizabeth as a crawler and Margaret as a nice kid ( kept expecting to see her with a fag in one hand and a vodka in the other). Surprised it got so many Oscars and I reckon if it wasn't so Hollywood it wouldn't have been as successful. Nice way to pass the tie but not one I could stomach again. 6/10.

Haven't (and won't) seen it but seems its also a Futurama rip off.

Could be, but it's not funny. I like Futurama but this isn't in the same mould. I'd give it a swerve if you're not sure, it's an hour and a half better spent, I dunno, washing floors I guess.

I don't think you get what I was referencing, check out the episode Raging Bender (the end specifically), I think thats what its called, if you're interested. Don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it. I've seen all the Rocky movies and love those but I don't need to watch another remake with a slight twist on it (if that is the case).

The one where Bender takes up Ultimate Robot Fighting? Nah, it's nothing like that. Apart from the fighting robots, obviously
On a slight tangent, I went to a friend's wedding in Philadelphia a few years ago. The day after the wedding, I got my photo taken with the Rocky statue, and have a video of me running up the steps!

You guys must not remember the part where Master Phnog dresses up and controls the robot by doing the movements...thats basically what Real Steel is right? Here is the episode on MegaVideo, 18:30 in (though why not watch the whole thing).

Creepy as this may sound I think I have seen your video running up the steps, I think it was on the MTV thing site with Dave the Rave.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that bit right at the end. The main champions robot is artifically intelligent, but all the others are human controlled

Quite possibly, I think I did post it there. The European MTV Awards are on in Belfast this year, so there's a few people who were on that competition coming here for it, supposed to be a meet up being organised for it.

**Spudulika** · 24/10/2011, 1:03 PM

Worm, I remember. So you're spot on with that, I'd forgotten it - but Real Steel is nowhere near as funny as it. Futurama is a series that grew on me and it's nice to dip in and out of.

Saw Margin Call last night, slow, cumbersome, average acting, really a tv movie with names in it. I tried to maintain an interest in it the whole way through but it didn't hit the spot like the Bear Sterns movie with James Wood (can't remember the name). 2/10

Going to see Moneyball tonight, or as it's translated here - The man who changed everything. Can't wait for this.

**Neish** · 29/10/2011, 10:03 PM

Just watched The Town http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0840361/ Not much of a Ben Affleck fan but he was decent in this a not a bad movie either 7/10

**Spudulika** · 30/10/2011, 6:07 AM

Sat and watched Puss in Boots last night, not one really for kiddies (some of the humour will fly over their heads) but a nice way to spend the time. Funny in parts and don't expect Shrek humour. Banderas rules, I can now say I'm a fan. 6/10

Travelling for the election I got time to watch a few of flicks:
5 days of war - a pretty rough reflection of the Ossetian conflict, more leaning to the Georgian/NATO side of events, definitely down on cossacks, and I'm not sure how factually correct it is. By coincidence I was travelling from Tbilisi with colleagues the day before war broke out and remember one of them asking why there were so many Russian military vehicles in the area. Some decent names and the very cute Canuck Emanuelle Chriqui in it. 5/10.

Cowboys and Aliens - I found it hard to get into, but then just switched off my brain and it became fun. Not a fan of Daniel Craig but he was good in it, Olivia Wilde (Irish citizen) was cute and good, Harrison Ford just did enough and it was pure B-movie with big names. Worth a look if you're bored and sitting in an airport. 3/10.

Brest Fortress - Not quite true to life but good all the same. Watched with subtitles (the dubbing was doing my head in) and apart from some good performances, it was a bit depressing at how the movie industry here hasn't moved on since soviet times. In fairness it was compelling subject matter and has a bit of grit to it, though as war movies go it's worth a look. Yana Yesipovich (who played the mother) is a really good actress and stole every scene she was in, plus she's quite sexy. 4/10.

**Acornvilla** · 30/10/2011, 8:38 AM

If your into watching hard hitting Hiroshima based Anime movies than have a look at ''Grave of the Fireflys'' can be hard to take a cartoon seriously but its quite good, and jam packed full of misery.

Seen ''Drive'' a few weeks ago also, that's very good. Shot very well and I love all the loud silences.

''Insidious'' is a good one to look at given Halloween is upon us and all, its not a horror full of that cgi crap, just lots of misdirection and a great sound track, Its not terrifying or particularly gore filled but its very creepy.

**SkStu** · 30/10/2011, 5:07 PM

Horrible Bosses and Bridesmaids last night. Enjoyed both immensely. Good unadulterated fun.

**panda87** · 30/10/2011, 6:54 PM

Ya, saw real steel, a typical hollywood movie, lots of poorly acted out emotional scenes and that kid really starts to grate! but turn off your brain for an hour and a half and its an enjoyable flick!

**Lionel Ritchie** · 30/10/2011, 10:11 PM

Just watching The Field for the first time. not bad at all.

**Spudulika** · 03/11/2011, 4:50 AM

Watched "In Time" - interesting concept, big socio-economic commentary and Justin Timberlake was good. Set up for a sequel but Olivia Wilde deserved more air time. Cillian Murphy was scary and good, I'd just like to see him not be a baddy so often. Worth a look, if only just to see a different take on current governance and conspiracy theories. A bit sloppy at times, some laughs. 6/10

**Lev Yashin** · 03/11/2011, 12:26 PM

Watched a few lately.

White Squal. One of the missus' favourite films. It might be about a ship that hits some deadly seas but it is more for the ladies i think. Was watchable but nothing spectacular.
4/10

The Orphanage: Gulierrmo del Toro, so you know what to expect, cracking film creepy scary but brilliantly made and acted.
8/10

Into The Wild: Should have watched this a long time ago, I loved it, even if i wasn't endeared to the lead. But I suppose thats what makes it even better.
9/10
