I enjoyed it. It was well-paced and tries to be honest too (how honest I guess you can't say). Worth a look defo. Should also say I can recommend Ellie Parker if you haven't seen it, starring Watts. One of the best things she's done for me.

I had two hours to kill the other day, and went to see Johnny English 2 as there was nothing else on.

I was pleasently surprised, it's rather funny, and a totally harmless way to spend a couple of hours!

Watched The Debt last night. Quite a good film, but 1 you was left feeling could have been better, with the last quarter being a bit too far fetched for my liking.

Still enjoyable enough way to spend 2 hours.

7.5/10.... would have been an 8 if Helen Mirren had got her kit off....

Tried Fair Game last night based on your recommendation - enjoyed it very much, as you say, well-paced and seems to be an honest recount of events. One frustration, the main character goes from a dynamic operative to a bit of a wet lettuce, and stays useless for a bit too long. Still, a good effort and worth seeing.

Think I may have seen Ellie Parker but if the luverly Ms Watts will be gracing my screen again I'll give it a go just to be sure.

Thank you sir. Next one should be next week as I'm working on something quick now for today's blog.

Thought that but I put that down to she was a bit of a company man and had some sort of faith that the truth will out whereas Penn knew what game these cowboys play.

I still think Despicable Me is a work of genius
