That is a good one. Sam Neill was pretty good.

If you like motorcycles, you will of course know and love TT week on the Isle of Man, and I suspect you will enjoy this film as well. It covers most of the 5 races during the 2010 season, but tends to concentrate on one man, the maverick of TT Racing, the Lincolnshire lad himself Mr Guy Martin. The man is a legend on two wheels despite never having won much, he is always the bridesmaid and never the bride. Don't let that put you off though, cracking good film, and I've met the man. (So there!)

I gave it 8/10 on here a short while back, but I love the TT and me motorcycling adventures, so may be biased.

Watched Dark City last night - mate gave me a heads up on it..was very good similar script to the Matrix..which came out the following year. (not as good IMHO)

and it also starred the do-able Jennifer Connelly um um

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy. Thought Gary Oldman did rather a good job of portraying George Smiley.

I'm not very good at doing fancy film critic stuff, I'm certainly no Mark Kermode, so apologies. But here goes:

I've finally got around to watching Pan's Labyrinth. I've always been a bit cautious as it is described as an adult's fairytale. It was brilliant and I was mesmerised by the story and the special effects. It didn't bother me that it is a foreign language film with subtitles either. Here's the linky for the full blurb on it:

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - IMDb

Give it a go if you haven't seen it. It's lovely!

I have the Spanish version whch is what I presume you are referring to. It's very brutal in all and not only in the shooting of the partisan but in the interrogation / torture sequence where the Capt explains what is about to happen. Guillermo del Toro was also tasked to direct Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' but there was falling out over over the project.

David Bowie starred in a version of The Labyrinth several years ago.

Im not sure 'lovely' is the word I would use to describe watching someone having their head staved in with a wine bottle...but each to their own...and the plot was very flat... but there were some good bits...
