Last film you watched

The boy next door - 2/10 what in gods name possessed me to watch this load of crap, a dull predictable cliche ridden mess with no redeeming features ( oh thats right J Lo gets her kit off, not that you see anything ).

The Knights Of Badassodom 0/10

Biggest pile of shit I've ever watched, I didn't even bother to watch it to the end, Studio66 on a bad night was more entertaining than this

Fury : 8.5/10

Really enjoyed this film, although I was left a little astonished at the idea of the German SS soldier allowing Norman to live? I very much doubt that would have happened and did make a little bit of a mockery of the ending IMO.
Nonetheless it was a really decent enjoyable film.

The Sure Thing, a early John Cusack film and very funny too 8.5/10.

Enjoyed Fury too 8/10. There are documented records of incidents like this happening (on both sides) though I'm guessing in the case of the SS it is Hollywood at work. The story of the stand off in the tank is actually a true story but it was a Canadian tank and not an American one.
While most of the SS were fanatical die hard Nazi's there were instances in the latter stages of the war of Germans being given an ultimatum; either join the SS or go to a death camp so its plausible that one or two may have allowed an enemy to live. I have just read the true life story of a German WWII fighter ace who when attacking a badly mauled B17 with all the turrets out of action, actually escorted it part way back across the channel. Of course he was in the Luftwaffe where many had a form of honour code.

^^^ I thought about downloading this last week, but worried that it might not have the gritty realism of Red Dawn* Based on these last two reviews though, I guess I'll have to get around to it.


Instead, I went for Go, which I saw at the cinema in the late-90s. Still holds up. Weird combination of Swingers and Pulp Fiction, but it works. Sarah Polley is hot. And it has a good performance by a post-Joey Potter, but pre-Mrs Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes.


* I think I have commented on enough babeshows and babeshow girls that I don't need to prove my manly heterosexual credentials. So I don't mind saying that if I should ever find myself in the Rocky Mountain wilderness during a Cuban/Russian invasion, then I might let a young Patrick Swayze have his way with me in a Brokeback Mountain kind of way. He's just so dreamy!

The Fifth Element, the film looks stunning on the new blu ray transfer of the film 8.5/10.
