The Messenger

Excellent.

Just in from watching Ted.

It's a funny film, very family guy.

Outlaws.

What a pile of shat.

Sean Bean didn't even get his kit off.

2 hours of my life I won't get back.

I just watched Stalingrad.

Great film.

I'm now inspired to write my own epic. It's called 'Telic'. It's about a team of TA medics in an ambulance. It's tense and claustrophobic, Das Boot stylee.

I think Jason Statham should play the leading role, maybe Daniel Craig even. I'll train them by making them eat menu G for a month.

It'll be a tear jerker alright. People will come from all over the world to see the musty flat over the chip shop in Ponders End and cry, 'that's where that bloke lived, the one who rushed in to save the noodles when the cookhouse caught fire'.

Lawrence of Arabia will pale into insignificance!

Bought the 1979 , colour , interpretation of Erich Maria Remarque’s “ All Quiet on the Western Front “ as part of a 3 for £5 deal . I have also read the book . Not a bad buy and I did not know that Ernest Borgnine had played the part of Katczinsky . However to me the 1930 version is much better .

Sergeant Rutledge, slightly clunky John Ford movie in his more PC phase. Woody Strode, plays a noble buffalo soldier accused of rape and murder. Largely a courtroom drama with a strange use of shadow to prefigure flashbacks. Some nice jokes about looting Atlanta. Worth a watch as a curiosity.

Two Way Stretch with Peter Sellers and a host of other stars.

They don't make them like that anymore, some excellent humour.

I think i may carry on with watching Wrong Arm of The Law later on. Classics.

Having a films of my youth time at the moment.

Wild Bunch, Soldier Blue, Day of the Jackal, Villain, Robbery, Get Carter, The Getaway. Cross of Iron and yesterday The Sand Pebbles

All cutting edge at the time- some have survived the test of time as action movies, some not- but now Get Carter/Villain/Robbery are watched for the background shots as much as the story because they show a world gone by (Much like the Sweeny)

Last night was The Sand Pebbles- a bit slow, some of it predictable but I was suprised how much I enjoyed it

Watched The Dark Knight Rises. Very impressed with Tom Hardy as Bane, but his dialogue was often muffled and hard to understand. Altogether, a fitting final part of the trilogy.

Ted. A brilliant film from Seth MacFarlane and co. Had me in stitches throughout.

The Assault - French film about the 1994 hijacking of an Air France jet as it was about to leave Algeria. The 4 terrorists execute three passengers including a French citizen and GIGN are scrambled when the Algerians allow it to take off and lack of fuel forces it to land in Marseilles. The order to storm the jet was given when the terrorists ask for 29 tonnes of fuel rather than the 9 required to get them to Paris and the French fear they intend to crash it in the capital.

The film is decent and done in a documentary style and the final assault cleverly mixes the actors shooting it out with the GIGN families watching the actual tv footage from home.
