I watched 'Flight Plan' with Jodie Foster the night before last. Not a bad film with a pretty original idea. It was maybe let down by the poor acting of the rest of the cast. Plus the ending was a bit sudden and a bit shit.

Watched Shrek 2 last night again for the second time, great film. Donkey rocks! 8)

Pfft maddness. The acting and the end was the best bit. It was let down by having an idea that,while interesting, was flawed and silly.

I've seen a load on movies lately. 'every thing is illuminated' with Frodo Wood-- a movie aboiut a jew guy to travels to urkanie to discover more about this familys past. brilliant movie, it's actually very funny while still moving. some bloody great characters.

'Mad hot ball room' great, kids are so funny.

'kiss, kiss,bang bang' really good much better than I expected, really well made.

'Doom' which i've seen twice but tuhe first timem i was so drunk I fell alseep. so, so, bad. but fun.

I agreed to go see a 'blind' movie which turned out to be the jonny cash biopic, bllody good show.

Can't wait for kong!

I don't know if i want to go and see Kong, it looks sad. I don't know the original, so I don't know if he dies or not, but i suspect that is the case.

I thought Godzilla was sad, so it doesn't bode well.


That would also be... CONDENSATION.

I just got back from seeing The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe.

It was amazing.

If you love the books, you should go and see it, because it was a much better adaptation than any Harry Potter movie!!

Watched 'House of Wax' last night, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. My favorite bit would have to be

I thought the acting, in most part, was a bag of wankety wank. Especially that of the pretend sky marshall.

I'm really looking forward to Kong too, should be an great epic from the master Peter Jackson. (My dad)

I saw Fantastic 4 on the weekend, bloody awful. Silly plot, awful writing, and badly acted. An all round bad adaptation of a Marvel... Avoid this one at all costs, unless you enjoy watching crap movies.

I have seen a few movies on DVD lately because Jon was home, but I only really liked, and sat all the way through, The March of the Penguins. I have high hopes for Kong but I have been hearing about a few movies opening Christmas Day that sound just hideous. I guess they are hoping to attract those who are looking for an Anti-Christmas experience.

The Sky marshall was bad. But Jodie Foster was good. My friend's a film booker and seen Kong on Friday. He said it was awsome.

The real kong- not the one made my kennys father with the same name sake as the director- thats just a home video of kennys summer vacation.

I can't wait to see Narnia, I've read the books, and I liked them. But I must wait for some more time (Opening night is at 20 december :(

If you are a true Narnia Fan you will love it. I watched it last night and was very pleased with the CGI effects.

I did laugh out loud at that one Rinso, top marks!

Also I did say that Jodie Foster was good in my 1st post if you read it correctly, FOOL, so please read all my posts properly before replying, FOOL, otherwise i'll just waffle on about potato treats of the same name, FOOL.

I don't get it, why is second book so exposed? I mean there are plays, TV shows, and now movies, but what about the first book, it's my favourite?
When Aslan creates Narnia with his roar:

I was discussing this with my partner. Apparently they are going to make either four or five films. I am assuming The Magician's Nephew and The Horse And His Boy will be left out, although I think it's a shame. Anyway, Alastair reckons they want to start from the appearance of the four children everybody already knows, which isn't until the second book.

I've just peeped on Amazon at The Horse And His Boy and apparently it is already a stand-alone film!

Jonathan Ross said that it wasn't clear enough why we are supposed to dislike the White Witch. In the books it was made perfectly obvious by all the people and creatures (like, hello, Aslan) she turned to stone. Does this not happen in the film? Would you agree at all with Ross's statement?

I read on the Internet Movie Database that Walden Media has optioned all seven movies to be made. I don't know if they'll go through with it, but I don't see why they shouldn't. I know I would go see them!

And the second book is so exposed because it was written first. The Magician's Nephew is more of a prequel, it's just numbered as the first in the series. I'm assuming they will make it because of the way this film ended. *which I cannot tell because it would spoil it*
And when you think about it, Magicians Nephew makes more sense to read after Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, because otherwise you don't know who Digory is, or who Aslan is, or what Narnia is all about. I found that it made it all the more satisfying to read second instead of first (but that's just me).

And I thought it was perfectly clear why we should dislike the witch. She turns things to stone and made it always winter. That would definitely make me dislike someone.
