More on The Shining, and what it is or isn't meant to be all about? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/classic-movies/9637505/Still-shining-darkly-after-all-these-years.html

Certainly the best Daniel Craig Bond flick. I'd say it has the greatest Bond villain ever in it. Javier Bardem puts in an outstanding performance.

Films iv seen recently:

Looper - wasnt too sure what it was about and didnt go to the cinema intending to watch it, but actually enjoyed it and thought it was a pretty good film.

sinister - compared to other 'horror' films iv seen at the cinema i thought it was good, a little creepy and jumpy but kept me on the edge of my seat more than the likes of paranormal activity does, decent film.

Skyfall - brilliant film. definately the best craig film and is the best bond film iv seen, was such a great film.

i havent seen taken 2 yet which i want to, thought the first one was fantastic but have heard mixed comments about the new one, anybody seen it ?

I thought Taken 2 was ok, but the plot lacked the depth of the first film.

I wonder why Taken 2 was a 12 rating and the first one was an 18 ?

The current trend of dumbing down action films so that kids can see them is rather lamentable. I think the last 18 rated film they had on at Keighley Picture House was Inglourious Basterds.

On another note I went to see Argo last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a feeling it'll be amongst the reckoning when then the Oscars come around.

Definitely agree that it is Craig's best showing as Bond, though, to be fair, I've struggled to warm to him in the role in the previous 2 films.....He's lacked the charm of Connery (who is, by far, the best 007), as the writers have seemed intent to portray Bond as Jason Bourne MkII - At last, in Skyfall, Craig's portrayal had more of the 007 that filmgoers really want to see.

My only gripe with Skyfall is that it lacked the glamourous locations much associated with previous films - At times it felt like an episode of The Sweeney, with all the London background shots.

anyone go see Dredd? got some very good reviews but seems like there will not be another one due to lack of box office

Watched Argo last night and certainly 1 of the best films I've seen this year. 8.5/10
