Not so far, but them I'm only up to day four of being trapped. He has just run out of water and starting to drink his own urine.

but I thoroughly enjoyed it

The book is a bit disjointed as it skips back and forward through time. Is the movie like that too?

Cracked me up that afte removing his hand with his pocket knife he was complaining about having sand in his shoe on the walk out - wold have thought that sand in his shoe was the least of his problems.

Good book, now to watch the movie.

The Hangover II.

For those who had a good laugh at the original, get your arses to the theatre!!!

Essentially the same plot (surprise, surprise...) but on a whole new level. The first part is setting the stage for what eventuates and it is good.

Sequals are rarely able to live up to expectations but this one does not fall into that category.

Once again, there are "those photos" at the end while the credits are rolling. You will be holding your sides through all of these!!!

The reaction of the audience was hilarious when the nightclub "dressing room scene" happened.

9.5/10 for me.

Holy E.T remake Batman!

A nice story line that keeps you guessing for most of the film. Shades of E.T, Stand By Me and even a touch of Predator for good measure.

7.5/10

This movie is a bit of a drag and bland. Nothing much happens in the first half, it's just bedtime story telling. But the effects (both visual and audio) later were quite impressive, that's for sure.

Story telling and illustration was much better than TF2. But it's not so hard making improvement from what originally was rubbish, is it?

It's a mix between Terminator Salvation and Armageddon. Oh who am I kidding, it's Michael Bay.

Lots of nice cars. That's about the only thing I liked about this movie (and the Chicago free fall air jump).

Unless you are REALLY fussy about 3D effects, big screen and huge sound, you can let this one slide. Save your money and watch it on Blu-Ray.

The only thing that doesn't transform in this movie is Michael Bay.

Would I recommend it to my friends? No. But I'm quite sure they'll watch it anyways.
Would I watch it again? I'll watch it again when I choose to watch Transformers 2 (which is.... never?)

2/10

Bridesmaids

Was quite hilarious I'm not usually a fan of going to comedies cos I'm so picky, there was still a few too many sappy moments for my liking but pretty fucking funny!!

7/10

True grit

I was wondering why I was cracking up only a few minutes in, a quick look at the cover reminded me it is by the Coen brothers
Not quite what I expected, thought it may be more brutal but I found it hilarious!!
Awesome!

Really enjoyed True Grit.
Especially Maddy cutting a deal with the trader, and the scenewith the trapper/dentist/doctor/body trader. 8/10.

"Boy" is still a favourite also.
Any teacher that can tell their pupils to" shut the fuck up" is ok by me
