The first one wasnt bad, an odd mix of good dialogue alongside really fucking awful lines. I did like the digs at each others movies, though. -
The first Die Hard was pretty cool <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber was a great villain

[quote name='Tim']the greatest xmas movie of all time...[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
That would be Patti Rocks.<br />
<br />
(This Sporting Life is also pretty awesome, especially if your idea of a fun Christmas is getting your teeth bashed in on the rugby paddock then getting high in the dentist chair before hitting the hard stuff at the team Christmas party.) -
My 4 movies I try to watch at Christmas (that are all set at Christmas) are...<br />
<br />
Die Hard (1)<br />
The Long Kiss Goodnight<br />
Scrooged<br />
It's a Wonderful Life -
Had the house to myself on friday so went for some out n out boys movies.<br />
<br />
Conan<br />
<br />
Shit! Do not waste your time let alone your hard earned.<br />
<br />
Cowboys and Aliens<br />
<br />
Ok. I do wonder how good this movie could have been minus the aliens. The western aspects, stereotypical injuns aside, were excellent. Harrison Ford is a much more interesting bad guy than leading man these days. Daniel Craig, ridiculously tight pants aside looks like he'd make a pretty good "man with no name" type character too. Just a shame the plot was so far fetched. It's sci-fi I know but it was a bit ridiculous.<br />
<br />
Plenty of good bit though so still worth a watch. -
Saw Mission Impossible 4 the other day and thought it was the best of the series. Action scenes are well done and the story is pretty good. <br />
<br />
Saw it at the new Titan screen at Reading Cinemas in town and the sound is brilliant. Screen looks good too but the surround sound really gives it an edge. -
Trailer is now out for the The Hobbit<br />
<br />

Loved Tolkein's books but not a big fan of the movies. I enjoy them but think they could've been better. -
I watched "Field of Dreams" last night. Kevin Costner cops a lot of shit, but that movie is pretty damn cool i reckon.

If you want another movie that sort of slipped under the radar but was pretty damn good as well you should have a look at Secondhand Lions , Michael Caine and Robert Duvall are brilliant in it .

I think most woudl see that as more a kids movie, but is still a pretty cool movie! <br />
<br />
Watched Inbetweeners movie, had some funny parts, got a bit quiet in the middle but was still a fun movie to watch -
[quote name='Mokey']Best Christmas set movie = Love Actually.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yes definitely, I watched that Christmas Eve and thoroughly enjoyed it again. <br />
<br />
Watched Battle LA and Season of the Witches Christmas Day - thought they were both quite good. -
Last week went to the cinema and watched the 1959 Ben-Hur. Finally got to see it on the big screen and the one of the the most epic scenes in cinematic history - the chariot race.<br />
That movie truly was the hobbit of its day - the money thrown at the production and done in such intricate detail. <br />
260 to 1 - the ratio of cut to used footage of the chariot scene. -
Was dragged to the Muppets. Much better than I expected, with some good wit & humour. Not great, but good. 7.5/10.<br />
<br />
Will do Tintin, Hugo and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in the forthcoming week... -
Movies i have watched over the last few weeks that I would recommend as difinite watches are<br />
<br />
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - don't expect Bourne identity action, this one is a slow burner, but completely engaging from scene 1. Close to a 10/10 on the dk scale<br />
<br />
Money Ball - good sports movie, well worth watching if you are an MLB fan. 7/10<br />
<br />
Contagion - another excellent movie, I went into it with low expectations, but has a great ensemble cast and Mrs dk said it had very good reviews. Again a bit of a slow burner 8/10
