Tron Legacy. Finding out how many slugs will fit in my eye socket would have been only marginally less entertaining

Pretty, yes.  Plot, who needs a plot?

Dante 01. Intriguing French science-fiction that becomes inexplicably messianic in the last ten minutes. Truly strange.

Eventually saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom the other night.  Quite a lot of racial stereotypes, Indy!

I quite enjoyed it, but it's a ballet set to Daft Punk, not a film.  Plus, having re-watched the original just before seeing the new one, I didn't expect there to be a plot...

Chloe, dir by Atom Egoyan.  Erotic thriller, quite predictable but it did remind me that Julliane Moore is a good actor.  Must remember to get my mitts on the recent film she did with Annette Benning.

"The Ruling Class" (1972), with Peter O'Toole.  Very much in the vein of Laurie Anderson's "If" (also with Arthur Lowe) and a fine cast including Alastair Sim and Diana Rigg.

Gets a bit weird near the end but a fascinating dark satire on the British class system of the period, including some truly funny dialogue:

"I didn't expect to see my husband riding a three-wheeled bike on his wedding night".

 Recommended.

The Bank Job.

Meh. For some reason, my wife wanted to watch this so I sat through it with her. I don't think it was quite what she was expecting.

Supposedly based on a true story, but I have a hunch they may have taken a few liberties - I don't know what it is, but there's just something about the way an unarmed Jason Statham beat up a load of armed gangsters single-handed at the end that didn't ring quite true.

The Lord Of The Rings.  All three extended edition DVDs in succession.

Ha! The husband and I have just finished that last night. We both wanted to see hobits in servitude and Saruman getting his just desserts in the Shire, as opposed to him stupidly falling from Orthanc  >:(

Am currently watching Brief Encounter. It gets me every single time  :'(

Million Dollar Baby.  Expected a vaguely uplifting Rocky type story (poor waitress takes on the boxing world and wins).  Which it was until the last half hour when it became a much darker film and was all the better for it.  Disappointed it took me so long to get round to watching it (my typical bias against Oscar winning films).

Thor as a 3D spectacular. I recommend the purchasing loaves of bread from your local conglomerate, let them go stale then treat your local ducks - it will be far more rewarding than sitting through that dross. Further suggestions for better ways to spend your money will be proposed in the morning.

Not so mouch a piscine nature but here are my five suggestions for better ways to spend your money than upon a ticket to see Thor.

At 5:
Get a ticket to ride the underground.

At 4:
Buy your own hammer and some china tat from a charity shop. Smash the tat!

At 3:
It's a bottle of coke and a packet of menthos.

At 2:
Give away espresso shots to small children

And our number 1:
Purchase a tube of superglue and get the rest of the money in coins. Superglue the coins to the pavement and watch in merriment as passers by scrabble to try and pick them up.

I suggest he watches Tropic Thunder.  That will add perspective.

Tropic Thunder is a far far better film than either Thor or District 9.

Oh good lord almighty, now I doubt for your sanity. Tropic Thunder's only virtue is that it made 'Don't mess with the Zohan' look good.

That confused me when I saw it in the cinema, but I imagine Return Of The King was long enough already.  The DVDs are worth watching with the commentary by Billy Boyd & Dominic Monaghan, if you're not already hobbited-out.

It delivered about as much as you could expect it to - a set of actors hamming it up with a handful of decent lines. Keep in mind that the relative ranking I gave it was against two very poor films.

I can't call you on Don't mess with the Zohan - should I add it to the list of films I ought to see before I die?

Tropic Thunder was crap, but has a place in my heart for blowing Steve Coogan to bits.  ;D

Tron Legacy!   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Although the movie did finish remarkably quickly after a dramatic build up.  Also possible plot ends left open for a possible sequel?

 :o at those Sirens!   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I must say the CG faced young Jeff Bridges looked a bit creepy peculiar at the start of the movie.
