Carriers - about a worldwide plague, takes place after most of the country is already wiped out. No zombies, if that's what you're thinking. Kinda boring. 5/10 End Game - Not the movie I was expecting (I wanted the action flick with Kurt Angle cast as the tough), ended up with a flick about how Nelson Mandela came to be released. Actually quite good. 8/10 Extract - Is it just me or was this Jason Bateman playing the same character...

The new Family Guy DVD, the Dark Side , has some great moments. It's the second in their Star Wars series, this time covering the Empire Strikes Back. The scene where Han (Peter Griffin) Solo gets frozen in carbonite is classic. Bumgrabee says..."Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans - yeah, pretty good. Though the plot is paper thin, the antics along the way are priceless. 7/10." Exactly. "Shoot him again,...

Food Inc. : Very worrying documentary about industrialized food production in the US. It's a bit glib in its proposed solutions, but it does make the problems very clear. One thing that it doesn't say that it really should have is that people in the Western world could make many of the evils of industrialized food production go away by not thinking that they are entitled to eat meat for every fucking meal. Days, hours, minutes,...

The space between lip and nose was wide enough to park a bus on. I used to think having...

9. Do not watch it. This movie starts off beautifully, and then quickly squanders its bleak wonder by using every action cliche in the book. The very first encounter with a baddie seems ripped straight out of Jurassic Park, and there's plenty of dangling off planks, out-running explosions and shouting "Come on!" to one another. The characterization is flat, and no effort is made to understand anyone's motivation....

Finally got around to finishing Star Trek. I actually managed to forget most of it over the last month. I wasn't even sure it was the same movie when skipping around looking for my place, so I had to watch from the beginning. I almost gave up when I realized this. Movies are so long. But I persevered and forced myself to get into it again. The only scenes I can say I remembered from the original viewing were Kirk meeting Old Spock on the...

Gamer was awful. More or less just a seasick-inducing version of The Running Man.

Followed Blackjack's recommendation for Ink. Ink Nice idea. The special effects were nicely done and there was some really nice photography. Did kind of draw you in and I found the final thirty minutes fairly gripping. Nothing amazing but definitely watchable. 7.2/10 What follows will seriously undermine any credibility I had on this thread. If I ever had any at all. Preface: I have a cold at the moment so at the weekend I didn't...
