    Bridesmaids; I liked it, similar in plot (even a character) to Hangover with more smutty jokes, the fat chick is disgusting, but funny<br />
    <br />
    How to Train your dragon, kids film, based on a series of books, was a cool tale and my son loved it!

    I was watching Moby Dick the other month (a superb abridged version scripted by Ray Bradbury and directed by John Huston - and a movie I am surprised hasn't been remade) and Peck makes an excellent Ahab. But every time I see him, be it Guns of Naverone or To Kill A Mockingbird), and certainly through no fault of his own, I can't stop thinking about [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Greggery_Peccary"]this[/URL].

    "Drive" starring Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston and Ron Perlman is out in the states this week.<br />
    Has got some good reviews, looking forward to hearing the TSF opinions before it gets here next month.

    For a book that is mostly unfilmable, Huston directed a really nice abridged version that retains the story, and the effects hold up pretty well.

    Horrible Bosses; pretty solid cast in attendance (Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Jason Batemen, Jennifer Anniston, Colin Farrel, Donal Sutherland) <br />
    <br />
    Had heard some poor reviews so went in not expecting much, and I actually liked it, quite a few moments had me chuckling away.

    Went to see Moneyball last night. 7/10. The writers did a pretty good job pulling a movie out of that book. But it's the book that should really be read by [U]all[/U] sports fans.

    Wife convinced me to watch Crazy, stupid love...Steve Carrell, JUlianne Moore, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei plus a few other faces I knew. Am in deficit because of constant rugby viewing the past 2 or 3 months....<br />
    <br />
    Had quite a few moments I thought were funny, but mostly it is what it is, a rom-com!

    Monsters - An alien breed has cut off part of Mexico and a journalist and American tourist are trying to make their way back to the USA through the occupied area. The aliens looks lame but a good story none the less. 7/10<br />
    <br />
    Machete - Throw in some nice looking latina honeys, loads of blood and gore, and one mean looking hero who eats burritos and you have a Mexican exploitation film. Not bad although the battle scene at the end was very camp and comical. 5.5/10 but 10/10 for the Avellan twins.
