I'm not a big enough fan of Dredd the character to care, happily. Same even with the Batman films, I just want a decent film!

The Crow - City of Angels. It's basically a music video, though it at least makes a bit more sense. I don't recommend anyone watches it though

Just watched "Fantastic fear of everything" with Simon Pegg. Surprisingly good, definitely rates higher than Paul

Just back from watching Hummingbird. Between this and Parker Jason Statham is starting to look more like a more serious actor, until the next Crank or Transporter film comes out. This was a very enjoyable film indeed, though I thought the same of Parker and quite a lot of peeps I know didn't like that. I guess if you don't like the actor, you'll not like his films, and in this case I like the actor.

Just watched Flight, starring Denzel Washington. Starts off really good and for about two thirds of the film, you're interested in what happens. Then it just seems to become boring and doesn't match the feel of the film. Loved Kelly Reilly in it and you get to see nadine velazquez completely naked.

I started watching Skyline on Film 4. Some nice FX but I can't be bothered.

Can't remember if I posted these before... Jeff Dunham stand-up 'movies' - He's a bit crap without his 'friends' (and some of them are crap too), but a lot of it's LOL funny. Some Dennis Leary thing where he endlessly talks about gays (Catholic church, 'antis' who are gay themselves, and so on). Louis CK, so funny in clips and on chat shows, somehow terrible on stage. Again, obsessed with gay sex. He always takes a routine into some imaginary sex act (school recess? The random guy in the elevator?), even something like hitting a deer with his car. And yes, extremely graphical gay sex seems to feature prominently. Is this what American humour is now? It's that bad with CK I won't be surprised if it turns out he was abused as a kid or something

Tower Block - You know that 'Why would you go into the cellar?!' thought? It's an entire movie of that, really. Don't even watch it for free!

Jim Jeffries - Alcoholocaust
The version I saw was only 43 minutes, but rather good (not for the easily offended!).

I saw it last night on my posh new 47" 3D tele and bloody loved it but then I am a big Burton fan. OK the story line got a bit silly at the end (no spoilers) but the mood, the colours (yes lots of bright colours which I wasn't excpecting from a goth type film), the chacters and Johnny Depp were all fabulous. It's the sort of film I could watch again. I hope they make a follow up as it's been left open ended and I hate sequels so it must have been good

I thought the new film was bang on. Much closer to the Dredd we see in 2000AD, in my opinion - uncompromising, and brutal but workaday in his approach to dealing with perps; with very sparse and dark humour. Leagues ahead of the Stallone film.

The new Dredd is definitely better Dredd but I think the old film is a better action movie than it gets credit for. It does a rubbish job of portraying Joe Dredd but if you didn't know the character you'd probably enjoy it quite a lot.

That's one of my many contradictions; I'm a big comic book nerd but I'd rather the film worked over being true to the character. I just found Dredd average, and I think part of the problem was Urban was SO spot on with his portrayal that the film needed to be much bigger in scope. I'd love a sequel to it if he was bringing that level of bad-ass to a proper blockbuster.
