Arthur Christmas - watched it with the kids last night. Bill Nighy funny as fuck as Grandsanta.

Saw Margin Call on Sky Box Office the other night. 
 
Stellar ensemble cast: Jeremy irons, Zachary Quinto, Paul Bettany, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci and that guy from The Mentalist. It's a financial crisis thriller based around the discovery of a catastrophic trading position and the tough decisions that follow. I loved it. The pacing is excellent and the character studies are superb as the various protagonists face up to the fallout of their actions. Irons is fantastic as a financial Dr Faustus, but all the characters are well realised by a cast that must have been relishing the opportunity to be actors for once.

Yeah, it's definitely a good movie. Was pleased to see Bettany get a decent role for a change.

Yeah, the wife put that I on and I fully expected that to suck. Was pretty good, excellent actors involved.

Finally got around to watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and was amused. A little rough here and there but cracked me up.

It's not bad at all - doesn't take itself too seriously. Love that scene where he's trying to pretend he wasn't crying his heart out in his room.

If you haven't already done so, check out "Get Him to the Greek." It's kinda-like a sequel to "Sarah Marshall" (in a similar way that The Freshman is a "sequel" to The Godfather, and Enemy of the State is a "sequel" to The Conversation).

"i 'aven't told you I have herpes 'cos it's not infectious at the moment" , Kirsten Bell's facial expression is priceless after that.

So Forgetting Sarah Marshall is being discussed for a number of posts and you're all talking about Russell Brand. How the hell is the hottness of Mila Kunis in that movie not been brought up. Seriously guys! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ireful.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ireful:' />

Just got back from watching Shadow Dancer - thriller set in 90s era Belfast with a female IRA operative turned by Mi5 and forced to spy on her terrorist family and 'friends'. 
 
Set against the backdrop of John Major's peace plans the plot twists slowly until everyone gets what they deserve. Andrea Riseborough is terrific in the female lead and Clive Owen is pretty good as her Mi5 handler. Pretty bleak but engrossing all the same.

Have seen "Get Him To The Greek" and love it. Think I have a copy at home somewhere so might dig it out again.

Get him to the greek is pretty funny in places. The Geoffrey scene is epic comedy! 
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is well worth a look - the best character int hat though is surely Paul Rudd. As he seems to be in almost every movie he's in.

The newly wed guy cracked me up amongst quite a few gold moments in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But Get him to the Greek was pretty good too.

One of my best holidays was a week and a half I spent doing everything there is to do on Oahu.

Working in Radio again sure has its perks.....got to catch "Skyfall" last night and fuck it was supurb. Won't give away too much but Bond develops a few personal issues, doesn't nail too many women, gets up to some RIDICULOUS action ( how the fuck does he do the shit he does in a suit ? I can barely raise my arms with my jacket on ) and Javier Bardem as the bad guy ? Brilliantly over the top. For serious Bond fans there are a few decent in jokes and explanations on the origin of the character. 
 
Currently sitting at number 7 on my personal all time list which is saying something cos Bond is like Pizza and sex to me. Even when it's not as good it's still good.

his suit is probably tailor made and about Â£4,000, whereas yours was probably one of those $100 jobs from Hallensteins <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
