'Time Bandits' 
I am sorry and embarrassed to say that I watched a film this afternoon called 'Ninja Cheerleaders'
On first hearing the title I thought it must be something decidedly dodgy but no it wasn't. What it was was a very bad film. Despite the fact that it starred George Takei, hence my interest in watching it.
In a nutshell it's about three college girls who are cheerleaders by day, gogo dancers by evening and ninjas by night.
You've heard of 'B' movies, well, this was more like 'Z'. I am still wondering now why such a great actor like George Takei agreed to do this piece of film making rubbish. When this was made, he'd already done series 1 of Heroes!
A thorough waste of an hour and half.
Hangs head in shame

I'll be gutted if they don't make A Horse and His Boy or The Magician's Nephew. I wouldn't be so upset if The Last Battle was missed out, but I really want to see Bree and Shasta on the big screen.
I'm a regular at my local cinema. I go see a film most Saturdays. Saw The X-Files this Saturday past and Wall-E before that. Both lived up to expectations.

I watched an odd movie called 'Hurly Burly'. A friend of mine gave me one of those 'Great Value 4 DVD Movies' inna box. You know the sort, there's usually one movie you've heard of and the rest are really obscure. Well I had high hopes on this one as it stars Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey and Meg Ryan - as well as several others and it's based on an award winning stage play...
Well after about half an hour I was ready to switch it off and not bother, but I did go back to it and it wasn't quite as dreadful as I first thought. But it certainly wasn't great and although it's described as a hilarious black comedy, I found nothing whatsoever to laugh about.

Still working my way through these four DVDs and today watched the Australian movie 'Chopper'. Certainly not one for the faint hearted. The acting is superb and Eric Bana is completely believeable and very scary as real life psychopath Mark Bandon "Chopper" Read.
But this is an uncomfortable movie to watch as the characters are not even slightly likeable.
I just went over to the IMDB forums for the movie and yet again I am amazed at the stupidity of some of the people that post there. One guy was argueing that the Australian accent was too hard to understand and they should have made it using American English and another guy thought it was an 'Austrian' film and was going on about Hitler.
I've really got to stop visiting IMDB forums.

I just saw Mamma Mia, mainly because everyone kept telling me I should... and it was OK. I think older people would prefer it (I'm 36 so older than me!).
Saw Wall-e as well & cried
loved it!- Status
