Seen about half of that the other night mate!
Its excellent the way its made,i mean how well the animation looks..must have taken a hell of a lot of work.But it just did'nt seem to work for me.I think they should have just stuck with real actors.
Still gonna watch the rest of it cause I wanna see what happens though!

Watched Body of Lies and Pride and Glory the other night.

Enjoyed Body of Lies even though story wise it wasn't that fresh 7/10.

Pride and Glory was disappointing, maybe I'm getting jaded and have seen too many bent/rogue cop movies, I will have completely forgotten this one by next week 5/10.

Watched "Quantum of Solace" again (was half asleep the first time ). I really enjoyed it, ok it was basically a vehicle for one stunt scene after another but great entertainment. Really enjoying Daniel Craigs "Bond". 7/10

Watched 'The Incredible Hulk' the other day - top film. I hope they keep Edward Norton when they make the Justice League film.
My new blog for my upcoming holiday.

I watched SAW V the other night, its getting tedious with the amount of movie's the SAW production line are churning out. BUT it WAS a decent enough movie, all the usual blood n gore. Tacky story line, but worth a watch.

Prepare for a SAW VI :;):

Watched the first hour and a half of Quantim on Solace, good action movie I was starting to get into it, and it cut off, the misses didnt copy over the Whole movie. :(  Women :D

Garderner of Eden, give it a wide berth. Or 5/10.

I dont really know what anyone can see in Mamma Mia, I was dragged to the cinema to see it and thought it was terrible, far to happy and cheerful for my liking.

And Brosnan singing songs? Some James Bond he is supposed to be

I watched 50 Dead Men Walking the other night.

A film set in Belfast in the 80s about a guy in the IRA but who was also a tout to the British. I have to say it wasnt a bad film and it told a good story. Some hard hitting scences in places but the acting in it is very good.

7.5/10

Read the book mate if you want to know the truth!
The movie did touch on the truth,I have to say and overall told the basics of the story but there was a lot more to it than what it showed.There were also bits added into the movie that never happened..but that is why they say"Based on a true story" i guess!

He was actually very lucky to live,jumping out that window in Twinbrook.Had he not done that he would have been tortured for days,maybe weeks and dumped in a shallow grave over the border!

Good show,I wish they just would have kept it more honest!

Yes mate,well worth a read!
He was brave,well a little stupid too but it must have took some balls.whenever they knew there was an informer in the ranks they sent him a black wreath!
He had to go to IRA meetings and keep his cool..knowing full well that he was being watched and it was only a matter of time till he got took away for torture.They were on to him,but did'nt want to believe it.Thats why he got away with it for so long.

Some argue that he was just fond of the ££ and loyal to neither side.The British paid informers big bucks back then.i hope he enjoyed the ££ cause his life is sh'it now.Plus they got his brother when it all came out cause the could'nt get him over in the West,nearly kicked him to death and impaled him on railings!
Lovely people! :D

:laugh:  :laugh:
He had a home cinema TV when all the others in the street had a black and white pay as you view telly that ya put money in the side!
Slight exaggeration,but the ££ was there to see,like I said he was very well thought of by the other Bon Jovis,I think their fondness for him clouded the facts in their faces.But long runs the fox.Read the book..you can get it for feck all now practically!

What when Tony Stark walks in the bar? Or do you mean there is another bit? wtf lol

Anyone seen 'The Air I Breathe'. Its's essentially a few different stories but shown to blend into one another kind of like Amorres Perros. Anyway its really good and has Sarah Michelle Geller, Brendan Frasier, Andy Garcia and Forest Whitaker. Very underated film imo.
