I saw it on saturday. Clearly I'm not enough of an abstract, deep thinker, because I thought it was pretentious, self-indulgent crap.

Where on earth has that rage come from bud? If you don't like it you don't like it. I was the only one who really loved it out of my circle of friends but that's probably because it appeals a lot more to my nature than it does their's.

Ha no I wasn't having a go. Just didn't 'get' it at all. What was with the dinosaur sequences? Just baffled me. I did like the bits set in Texas though, clearly resonant of Mallick's childhood. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't met a more polarised response to be honest.

I suppose if you're doing a philosophical piece about the nature of existence, creation and evolution you could say that you can't miss out dinosaurs unless, say, you're writing a bible.

I went to see Horrible Bosses last night, very good film with plenty of laughs.

Added bonus for all Jennifer Aniston fans out there too

Due Date - not as funny as some have said but some cracking one-liners and asides in it, very enjoyable.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1 - loved it, was darker but then again so is the book. Going to see the last one at the cinema on Tuesday night.

Dinner For Schmucks - I loved this film, Steve Carell just being an absolute moron and made me laugh almost from start to finish. It even made me NOT want to punch David Walliams too!

The Fighter - Good film with excellent boxing scenes. But watching a film about "Irish" Mickey Ward and it not covering his 3 fights with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti, which are widely considered to be some of the greatest fights in the history of boxing, kind of left me underwhelmed.

I originally thought that too, but to be fair, the film is more focussed on his brothers crack addiction rather than MW himself.

I enjoyed it.

Unknown with Liam Neeson.

OK action film, but nowhere near as good as Taken. The twist was a bit predictable too.
