    Just finished watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    As always,a great movie (and a reminder that Johnny Depth makes the greatest Willy Wonka).

    I just watched the prequel/remake of The Thing with my wife. She vomited but I think that might've been then pizza. I wasn't too impressed either (with the pizza and the movie). It just doesn't work that well as a prequel with the other film from 82. We're just watching that now and it's still a classic.

    at a loose end last night and went with a friend to see In TIme - LOL terrible film!!!!

    Spent most of the film sniggering .... how can a girl who looks like bambi [amanda seyfried] rapidly run over roof tops [not flat..] along uneven dusty roads in 7 inch heels whilst being dragged by the hand by Justin Timberlake???????

    Just watched The Panama Deception and thought it was an awesome look into the war and how the imperialists manipulated their way to starting the war.

    Just finished a public broadcast documentary about Johannesburg in South Africa. Very depressing, as cheerful as they tried to make it.

    Finished watching Land and Freedom for the first time. So beautiful.

    Now, all I wanna do is shoot some fascists, purge a few stalinists and sing the Internationale.

    Watched an episode of Futuramama! Such a great show.The new series they have is okay but the greatest moments have been in the original four seasons.

    Just saw Bad Teacher.

    I liked it, quite funny, not really outrageous but still very amusing.Nothing I haven't really seen before but if I want originality I will watch an indie film.

    That's the thing, I think the reactions the people have in the 82 version to be way more realistic. This new one is really bad. Here, I'll list what happens:

    We are introduced to everyone. They find alien. Everyone dies. Left with two people for half the film. It doesn't build up enough of the paranoia that made the previous one good.

    Watched The Air i Breathe

    I really liked it.Was four interconnected short stories about individuals who get caught up in a criminal group and try and find their way out.Some could say it was 'trying too hard' but I love these kind of movies.

    Just watched Let the Right One In
    think I'll have to agree with my friends that it's better than the American remake, not that I think that one was awful

    going to watch the walking dead next

    Great fucking movie.

    Just finished watching Harry and the Henderson's. Seeing John Lithgow go from playing Trinity on Dexter to a family man is just great.

    I watched In Time recently with Justin Timberlake (I think). I have no idea what to make of it. It's pretty much a preachy anti-capitalist movie except.... and this is where I lost it in the film, there's no money. Everyone has been genetically engineered to stay at the age of 25 and they all have this glowing count down clock on their arm. When they turn 25, they get one free year and after that they have to get a job and they get paid in time. And so they also pay for things in time. Labour time anyone? And if they run out of time, they die. But, you then see people with thousands of years on their arms (the capitalists) and I have no idea how they managed to acquire that if these are basically labour vouchers.... like, it's not explained how you can invest time and gain interest on time in the film... maybe I'm thinking about it too hard...

    Anyway, it's pretty much a cheesy b-movie sci-fi dystopian film where everyone is young and good looking. A bit like a less classy Logan's Run.

    I liked In Time. They rob banks and resdistribute the wealth, good enough of a Hollywood movie for me.
