It's rather splendid like isn't it. Good soundtrack too.

I love rec too much to watch quarantine. Even though it has Debra in it

I know, it's totally irrational, but I'm coming to terms with the inevitable - I'm gonna have to go on my own if I don't want my mind to rot.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

do what I do - go on your own. Still dont understand why people insist only saddos go to the cinema on their own (my missus included) you are sat quietly in a dark room looking at a screen, at what point does having a companion become essential?

just watched it, certainly not an easy watch.

but I would give it 9/10. thats my immedeate knee jerk review of what I just saw. But I need time to think this one over.

The Constant Gardener.

Very long and predictable but an interesting watch all the same.

Went to a preview of Star Trek last night and it far exceeded expectations.

I'm anything but a fanboy, having only caught the odd episode and 2 or 3 films from the 70s/80s, so am not really in a position to compare to what was there already.

As a standalone film itself, or as it were, the restart of the franchise, I thought it was really good.

Probable spoliers below:

I thought the scenes involving the young Kirk and Spock near the start of the film were verging on spelling Tranformers style disaster for the film, but they got away with it.

The effects were great, although I think this was helped by only chucking in a couple of monsters briefly, and the rest was effectively spaceships and black holes.

Loads of memorable scenes throughout (the parachute landings onto the drill platform especially were great). The casting was excellent (Uhura ), and there was plenty of banter in the script that worked well.

Also - is there any possible way that Pike could be Kirks dad? Unlikely, but a Trekkie might be able to throw some light on this.

I look forward to the next installment.

A proper 'cinema' film for me, a top popcorn movie.

White Noise.

White Noise 2 is worserer.

No, but I will. BUT, that guy thought Eden Lake was a tough watch? Pussy.
