I could always ask a Marvel Zombie to defend 'Forbush Man'.

There are many indefencible Marvel abominations (Secret Wars I & II for example).

The Inbetweeners movie is superb!

It's every bit as funny as the TV show and then some. The whole audience was in stitches and you could sense everyone cringeing at some parts of it. Although it stays true to the TV show (with some cracking throwback references to it) it actually has quite a bit of heart to it, and is decent as a stand alone story. A fitting climax to the Inbetweeners, farewell Neil, Jay, Simon and Will!

I can't recommend it highly enough though, I will be going again before long I reckon!

Excellent film indeed. The only film I've laughed anywhere near that level at 1st watch was Borat. Absolutely hilarious at times and I don't want to spoil it too much for others, but the dance scene is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. They all have their moments and it's a truly memorable film that will be watched again by me at some point with a DVD purchase too.

Brighton Rock - Stylish film which moves between evil and innocence. It carries plenty of menace and tension and does it well. Very good performances by Riley and Riseborough.

Sucker Punch - Scantily clad hot chicks kicking ass is the most apt way to describe it. Ultimately its a mess but enjoyable all the same.

Submarine - An excellent quirky coming of age comedy. Promising debut from director Richard Ayoade. I would like to watch this again.

Very impressed with The Inbetweeners Movie. It was a bit predictable in places but I thought it was written very well. Cheesy but brilliant montage at the end as well.

Ironclad - The Alamo meets medieval times , Not bad really . Plenty of limbs flying about.
Captain America - Poop

Watched True Grit today. Thought the performance of the young girl was superb, if Matt Damon's wasn't. But I enjoyed it, a moving film that always had that air of class about it.

Have to say this was one of the worst films I've seen in a very long time. There are cheap, exploititive films out there, but that's what they are setting out to be and I have no problem with that, but this was "supposed" to be something meaningful. So here we've got a young, childlike woman, abused by her stepfather and placed in a mental home, having a fantasy about being in a whorehouse having a fantasy about being dressed up as a Japanese porn star killing CGI nonsense to "escape" before she's lobotomised.
Absolute garbage. The only way it could be worse would be if it had Julia Roberts and Richarde Gere in it.

If anybody is interested, I've just started a new film blog here. Just doing a simple list to start off with of my favourites of the last decade.
