Me too the other half talked me into watching it

My wife and I came to an unspoken arrangement several years ago not to talk each other into watching films. I think I'd watched too many films starring with former cast members of Friends and there's no way in hell she'd even look at the cover of anything with chainsaws, slime beasts, or David Lynch's name on it - though I did manage to get The Straight Story past her radar by faking a coughing fit during the opening credits and distracting her.

This is all the stuff my wife likes... The weirder the better seems to be her latest fad.

The last movie I saw Rise of t Planet of the Apes. In this movie using 3D. This is superb movie

Super 8 is a J J Abrahms film, Speilberg just produced it.
But it is very much a homage to Speilberg.

Isnt he the bad guy in Captain America ? Weaving is too good to work only in Australia.

I would like to see him star in a film and not just be the cool villain or someone like V.

In V For Vendetta really his voice made the film, some other normal voice would sound lame. V had to be mystery man, you cant see his face in the costume. That would not be the famous story it was adapting.

Finally watched The Book of Eli. Cracking good show

It looks like he'll be making a return for The Hobbit, and he's slated to take a starring role in The Wachowski rendition of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas too. Anyways, it's still good to see him doing some films, even if they are just local efforts. Which I highly recommend sourcing out Little Fish. One of Weaving's best roles.

As for movies watched. Scream 4:

Was nothing more than a remake of Scream 1. Tried so hard to be intelligent and funny, but came across as pretentious and silly.

Another good one of his, albeit a supporting role: Bedrooms and Hallways (1998)

I have not seen that one. The wife would probably enjoy it, so I may be able to talk her into it

I'm lucky in that we normally have similar tastes and both love a gore fest or a weird tale or 2

He feels the same as me about cheesy Hollywood endings I think he just fancied a monster flick in this instance lol

Pirates of the Caribbean 1. It was weird watching it after playing the lego game!

Save The Green Planet:

How this Cult Classic Korean effort slipped under my radar, I really don't know. A mentally deranged UFO nut kidnaps his former employer, who he believes is an Alien, and proceeds to torture the crap out of him. While being a comedy, this film had some seriously sadistic things happen in it's duration.

8/10

Beuautiful Lies with Audrey Tatou. I loved the two previous films by this Director (Pierre Salvadori: Hors de Prix - Audrey Tatou's best ever film - and Apres Vous with Daniel Auteuil) but this one fell horribly flat, I'm afraid. Had a great premise, but not one of the three main characters had any redeemiong features, and the ideas ran out about a third of the way through the film, leaving it to limp to a predictable finish. Shame.

Sherlock Holmes. Great fun- there must be a sequel!
