Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

The Imitation game with Benny Cumberbund, what a film that is. 
Birdman beat it to best picture at the Oscars. Travesty that.

Alright. I'm still well excited for it, but many of the scenes look like modern remakes of the original film. Volleyball, bar singing, a death, even an engine flame out.

F-14 was retired ages ago, that secret spy plane he's flying and some of the "special moves" he's pulling... No!

But the real flight scenes look immense. I'm still feeling the need, but it's much more comic book like than the original trailer made it look.

One more thing, that Mustang is his own plane that he has a full licence for, I bet it's shoehorned in ridiculously. Does what he wants, Cruise!

 

Behind the scenes footage coming out already. He's nuts, but what an actor Cruise is, pure method!

The special features on the DVD alone are going to be worth paying for.

Just watched that trailer. The very first shot over the mountains is of an f-14 I think.

Afterwards, seems to be all f-18s.

Think I need to watch the film proper.

Yeah, sounding like there's an F-14 cameo. Which would be horrendous if it's present day

It's weird, growing up with things like tomcats and other "sexy" planes, you tend to forget just how bloody old they are, and not realise they may not be in service any longer.

Always disappointed we never did much with the lightning; fantastic seeing one in a museum.

Could do with a fictional film where all manner of fighters twat each other!

I was looking forward to watching this then realised I'm such a plane bender that I've already seen it.

Saw the last Star Wars yesterday, really very good after the last one which was a shocker.

Not seen it yet. Saw two review headlines "Triumphant and thrilling ending to star wars skywalker saga" or "The worst star wars movie ever made".

So I'm guessing its going to be marmite again. 

I quite liked last jedi but thought FA was poor.....

It’s very fast paced but there is an actual story, and old favs - plus a moment with Chewy which will make you smile if you get the reference. 

Fucking nerds.

Free private screening in central London with bar, popcorn, sweets - I’ll take being a geek for that.

I watched the first which became the fourth or something. After that, nothing had grabbed me sufficiently to spark an interest in any of the others. Does that make me bad?

Fucking hell. I expected a kicking for not liking Star Wars but that's taken me aback a tad.
