films watched this xmas hols
10000BC - rubbish
vantage point - ok
hellboy 2 - good
mama mia - wife was in heaven....
aristocats - class
what about you guys uncover any clankers or gems?
Um....none I think. Unless A Matter of Loaf And Death counts.
Only Die Hard 4.0. Less dumb and more good that I thought. But only by a small margin.
Now, in the post-Christmas lull I have The Wire (seasons 1 - 4), Sopranos (season 6.1 and 6.2) and The West Wing (all of it) to get through - good DVD haul!
JohnDuncan:Unless A Matter of Loaf And Death counts.
It very definitely counts
Deja Vu = almost all the BBC/ITV film schedule for the period
Mamma Mia- did the ironing whilst the wife was in double heaven.
Kingdom of Heaven- pretty poor.
So in short -not overly impressed.
Andrew Everard:JohnDuncan:Unless A Matter of Loaf And Death counts.It very definitely counts
I did think that this would be the case, certainly from an Oscar eligibility point of view.
King Pin-very funny
Heroes Of The Telemark-seen it loads of times before but always end up watching it
best thing on over Christmas though had to be The Royle Family ! Classic stuff





Batman Begins (I think that's the title - the first Nolan one) and The Dark Knight - very good.
Reign Over Me - excellent
Deja Vu - enjoyable
