Watched Machete on Saturday night. Deranged.
Also watched True Grit. Worth watching but not brilliant.
Enjoyed Super 8. Talented young cast and some very funny dialogue.

Saw The Artist tonight. Very good film. The main actress is a bit of a hottie too.

Not as hot in real life though, as to be expected...

I'm surprised tinker tailor isn't up for best picture to be honest. Nice to see Midnight in Paris there but it won't win. I'll be tinkled off if its warhorse...

Watched Mi4 last week, though it was the best in the franchise so far. The scene with Cruise clambering on the World's tallest building was quality, tempted to pay a visit to the London IMAX to see if that stunt looks as vivid in IMAX as the Hong Kong skyline in The Dark Knight.

Limitless is on Sky Premier.

Great film for an hour and 15 minutes then it kinda dies off towards the end

Agreed, Limitless has a clever concept but just too many plot holes.

Bought Seven Samurai and Hairikuri (sp and cba to look it up), heard they were worth seeing and I am in the mood for some Samurai action.

Seven Samurai is one of my all time favourite movies. Normally the thought of watching a B&W movie with subtitles for over 3 hours would put me off but Seven Samurai never dragged imho.

Indeed, the first time in a long time I got a bit enthusiastic watching a film, they captured the height of the situation brilliantly!

worst film i have seen in a long time

Tarantino and Rodriguez (?) really missed what they were trying to achieve with that one

these just popped in to my head

The Prestige (thriller, kind of)
Amelie (kooky french love story)
Brick (indie, film noir)
Pans Labyrinth (dark spanish fairy tale type thriller)

few of my favorite movies, if you haven't seen them already
 
Watched Sherlock Holmes 2 tonight, pleased that I managed to see it before it disappeared from the cinema. I thought it was clever, some good action pieces, I like it how you think about everything that is happening too and try to piece together the pieces in your mind. Apparently it is good a second viewing around too, well according to a mate I went with it is.
 
Saw the Iron Lady earlier in the week. Was alright, not very political, more about how bat-brick insane the woman is now.
