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.

Do folk realise Will Smith is the baddie

think it's only clear if you've read the book, or been told by someone who has

then it becomes an even better film than it is

The world's evolved apart from Will Smith who comes at night to take the children from their beds and perform experiments on them

the idea is that in a world full of zombies, Will Smith is the bogeyman - the one who comes and gets them whilst they are sleeping

he is the legend amongst the zombies, the one they need to be scared of, hence the title

In an alternate ending of I Am Legend, some themes and the story's trajectory are drastically changed. 

Rather than glass cracking in the form of a butterfly, the Darkseeker alpha wipes his own blood onto the glass in the shape of a butterfly. Neville then turns to the Darkseeker test subject on his table, the one he's cured, and notices a butterfly tattoo on her neck. Neville takes a leap of faith and opens the glass partition, risking his life to reunite the Darkseekers. Once Neville's awakened the female, the two Darkseekers embrace in a moment of surprise humanity. 
Smith's character realizes that the mutants, though far from human, are able to express love. From the Darkseekers' perspective, Neville preyed on them, kidnapping and experimenting on their friends, family, and loved ones. He's a legend, but for the wrong reasons—in line with Richard Matheson's book, he is an entity the Darkseekers fear.

Neville doesn't die in this version. Showing remorse for the experiments he has undertaken over the years, Neville, Anna, and Ethan are spared by the Darkseekers. They drive away together, not knowing if a colony exists, but they understand there has been a fundamental shift in humanity. The Darkseekers are now the dominant force.

 

Wonder why they changed it. I’m going to read the book

My thinking right now

 

Funny cow 

Political point scoring shite

Blinded by the light

Promising

The Hunt and The Invisible Man miss out on cinema release. 

The former Is very poor. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be serious 

The maid from Handsmaid Tale plays same character in the latter  Could have been a lot better.

The Platform on Netflix kept me and one of the older kids watching, it's not quite horror but had summat about it.

Just watched invisible man. Very very good film worth a watch for sure 

 

also watched man on fire for first time the other day. Another superb film if a bit slow at the start but warms up (no play on words intended).

Man on fire is a film of two halves 

I watched Tower Heist the other night with Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller it’s an easy watch and quite enjoyable
