Watched the new(ish) X Files movie. It was crap.

To those that have written off Star Trek before they've seen it - how do you even know that when you haven't even seen it?

It's just an entertaining film. That's all it is. All of this talk about liking previous Star trek is irrelevant really, as is the discussion as to whther or not it's sci-fi or not. It's pathetic. It's just a good movie, well put together and just a bit of fun that isn't insulting.

Ohhh isn't it just!

Although I enjoy both Star Wars and Star trek they are not proper scifi, they are space opera.

[What??? No beer???????]

Cannes film festival starts tomorrow, right? Anyone looking forward to anything in particular? Some pretty heavy weight directors this year. I'll admit I'm looking forward to seeing Inglorious Basterds, it'll be interesting to see what Tarantino does with the setting if he makes any sort of statement with the film.

Absolutley fantastic film.

Loved it, breaths new life into the franchise. I thought the casting was spot on, and importantly for a big blockbuster release i thought that it was just the right length too.

Far too many 'big' films come out these days with a 3 hour length.

And now they have disrupted the time line and nothing is as it was in the history of Star Trek, it means they can basically start the story all over again with the new cast if they want

[Katster]

I've never previously liked Star Trek. I would like to see the film.

It's a bit less ... technical... than most people expect it to be.

My sister saw it in Aberystwyth and apparently it got a round of applause...

Painful? It shouldn't be ... its all psychological.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

You weren't doing it right.

Last night I watched Jacob's Ladder without having a clue previously what it was about. I still don't

It's a fantastic film!

It seems his unit was involved in experimental drug trials to increase fighting output (the drug was codename "The Ladder" - which was coined to describe it's effects). Right at the end it is revealed that Jacob never left Nam.

The drug trial went bad, his unit attacked and killed each other.

The entire film was a product of his dying mind and the effects of the drug. As the film progresses his "life" and experiences become increasingly disjointed - I guess as he nears his final moments. At the end, he finds peace (dies).

I understood it really, but thanks. I just meant it was a bit of a mental one, good though. I liked it.

Watch: Stay.

I finally got round to watching Cloverfield the other night. I thought it was good albeit a little short. A nice change from the usual cliched nonsense.

Wolverine, just another OKish action film.

Quite a bit of it was filmed where I live. I can see "The Canadian Rockies" (they cheated, it wasn't filmed in Canada) through my lounge window. In fact that scene of his cabin on the hill, with The Rockies behind is pretty much the view from my house.

This looks good: 2081.

It's out this year I think.
