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.

Not a film I’ve watch recently, but some quite interesting things I’ve learned this morning.   The film Zulu has stolen quite a bit of glory off us English, the Battle of Rooks Drift was fought by the 2nd Battalion of Warwickshire and they didn’t sing ‘Men Of Harlick’, they sang a song called ‘Lancashire Lad’,  such was the disgust of some of Capt Hooks family who went to the premier that they left half way through.    I demand a remake.

Pretty sure there are memorials in various towns in Wales for this - so would be surprised if it was the Warwickshires. But could be wrong.

I don’t like to mention it, but I’ve done the Zululand tour and visited Rorke’s Drift. And again, don’t recall any mention of the Warwickshires.

It didn’t take too much Google-type research to find out the Warwickshire Regt. had relocated its Brigade HQ to Brecon, South Wales in 1873.

Quote

Since 1782, the regiment had been associated with the county of Warwickshire. But in 1873, the regimental depot moved to Brecon in South Wales.

The Zulu war, including the defence of Rorke’s Drift Mission Station occurred 6 years after this in 1879. The Warwickshire Regt. were  very Welsh.

The new Dune film has leaked. It's very pretty but like it's predecessor load of absolute impenetrable bollocks

There's nothing I can see that suggest it's not what it claims to be. Maybe you can point out what I'm missing. I'll downgrade my previous comment if you can.

Managed to open a tablet perfectly without ripping the packet

I don't think for one second the dog took the pill out of the packet itself.

 

Original comment stays with honours.

The new Dune movie 8/10

 

The new Rise of the Footsoldier movie 1/10 and the one is is Terry Stone's wig

My favourite night of the week where I get the tv to myself. Watching the breakup and Jennifer Aniston is fit. She's one of those women who gets better with age 😩

Alec Baldwin has shot one of the staff dead on a movie set by accident with a prop gun.

I thought blanks were blanks?

The film, in a withering stroke of irony, is about someone on trial for an accidental shooting.
