Can't understand the negativity surrounding John Carter. Thought it was good. Looked absolutely amazing in 3D on my tv as well. Good ending to the film, had a bit of everything for me and did most of it well. Give it 8/10.

I first heard about that film yesterday while browsing new titles and was thinking about watching it on HMV Instant last night. Will give it a go soon being as you give it an 8. It won't be 3D though on our tele so we won't get all the effects.

Been catching up on some Sky+ed movies this week and watched The Shooter the other day. I always like Wahlberg's stuff and this wasn't bad, certainly worth a watch.

And about 30 mins ago just finished watching Red Cliff, a Chinese John Woo film. As is often the case with these films, it was quite confusing and the battle sequences chaotic, but some of the battle sequences were superb and it has some nice twists and turns, which aren't necessarily surprising (they historical, so they've been used since), but clever nonetheless. If you can put up with 2 1/2 hr long subtitled films, I'd recommend it!

Really liked the shooter but most of time I have no idea what Wahlberg's saying, he mumbles.

I thought the same. Great ending but disappointing as a whole.

Watched Project X last night and it's a film with no real purpose but to party. I quite enjoyed it.

Yeah, I was surprised too. A lot of funny moments, pretty mental and took me back a few years (to a certain extent). I can't think of many films that were just fun like this.

Not too awful... although I couldn't help shouting at the people for being stupid and not doing their coats up!! :@

exactly what everyone thought i bet...although if they had it would have been a really short film.....although I guess they could have made the lifts even higher making that not an option.

Yes I'm continuing my Film4 FrightFest watching, tonight:

An okay take on the vampire genre... but a bit ruined by its 80's-ness!

Quite enjoyed... but slightly confused by the free running, faceless, ninja hoodies? :huh:

Watched avatar again last night on film4. Better than I remember, but still think it would have been a much better film if the humans had of just destroyed the blue dogs as would have happened in real life. Would have felt much better and put a smile on my face.

Watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs again the other day. One of the best CGI comedies ever. Love a film where you can spot jokes you miseed before and this is one of those, with things constantly happening in the periphery. Should be as wellknown as Toy Story or Ice Age, but sadly not.

I haven't watched this since I had to study Dogme in Film Studies years ago but I appreciate it a lot more now than I did then.

I may rewatch Lars von Trier's The Idiots now I don't have to sit in a lecture theatre watching penetrative sex scenes.

Really liked Festen, good film. Not seen The Idiots though...
