Full Metal Jacket is good, but I prefer Platoon. Probably Charlie Sheen's best performance.

Last weekend Ch29 showed the film "Wu Xia" - a very thought provoking and well shot film about justice and morals.

It also featured the stunning Tang Wei who out does Grace Park for Grace Parkness.

Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Just saw it now.  Was expecting it to be a bit meh considering how many thought it was so.

I thought it was brilliant.  Not LOTR brilliant but well worth going to.  3D effects were good too (not sure why people moaned about that too).

Oblivion was alright. Had to laugh a few times, like when the woman in the pod was revived, she was throwing up but it didn't look like vomit. then towards the end of the film Tom Cruise said her her "remember what I last said to you (Or something like that), Someone in the audience said "Swallow this!"

It was.....a bit odd, pretty dark and.......um, really quite odd. Enjoyable though.

Trance, quite a decent thriller in the sea of mediocrity these days. Of course, the fact that Rosario Dawson shows us all her wares (x2) helps a bit too.

Am watching 300 on TV2.


It's really, really sh!t.


But I'll probably see it through to the end (or play FIFA soon).

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame.

Just shown on Ch 29.  A rip snorting whodunnit with wuxia action and lots of missives on "the end justifies the means".

Tsui Hark (major legend) directed and produced.

Just finished watching The Warring States on Ch29. A good if not spectacular film about Sun Bin (descendant of Sun Tzu).

Solid, enjoyable and a new actress Jing Tian.

WWZ not as bad as the reviews suggest. Some silly plot issues that suggest the budget was blown and they were keen to wrap it up but deffo worth going to see. Where are the writers these days?

Me too, it's not the best zombie movie but I liked the way the CGI didn't ruin the film. Just wish they'd got someone else to go over the plot.

Am watching "The Punisher" on Prime.

It is so shonky that it is quite enjoyable.


It stars Dolph Lundgren of "University Soldier" fame.
