    @Virgil A starving, disabled shark wouldn’t go for that bait.

    Is shit that tough in Christchurch?

    Dunno. I live in Devon mate. We can only count up to 12 on our hands, not 13 like Christchurch.

    Flight.

    This movie annoyed me, mainly because it wasn't sure which movie it wanted to be. The first half hour was awesome, a pilot flies into bad weather and then his whole system craps out and he has to crash land in a field. The sequence was so good, really heart pounding. I thought it was going to be a tale of espionage or cover ups and plucky everyman pilot who drinks too much was going to take on the suits and win. But then the rest of the movie was just him getting drunk and getting high and there was one bit where his dealer comes in with a whole duffel bag of drugs to balance him out after he got drunk all night before his deposition. it was quite funny, but again tonally jarring.

    5 stars to the first half hour, 2 stars for the rest which was pretty boring.

    @Mokey all the effort taken in here to think up imaginative ways to grade a movie. The successful author then comes bowling on in with "stars".

    @Bones Exactly. Don't want to show anyone up. You're all so cute with your 'imaginative movie grades'. chucks ferners under the chin for top effort

    @Bones obviously it's a friendly uppercut.

    I watched a whole star wars movie today! Episode 1.
    Wasn't too happy about Liam Neeson dying and all. The kid racing was quite fun. However I thought Obiwankanobi was a little bit of an extra in it, isn't he meant to be a main character... Will watch the next one and see if I am going to be a fan.

    Invisible Man
    Just watched, definitely had me shrieking!! Very exciting and some good jumps in it too!
    I really like Elizabeth Moss in pretty much anything she's in, she reminds me of Jodie Foster.

    @Virgil We shall see.. Not sure how many I can commit to if the next one doesn't turn me into a star wars fan... What is a star wars fan known as? Like star trek fans are trekkies??

    @Virgil I'm dissociating from crumpets now... You lot have made them uncool. It is all about hot cross buns now and the magical varieties. Marks and Spencers do a lovely salted caramel and chocolate variety....

    You've started with the worst 3 films of the series. I don't think I'd be a warsies now if I'd watched those 3 first.

    Yeah, warsies doesn't work.

    @Nepia I thought watching episode 1 would make mores sense seeing as it's very likely I won't make it through the whole series.

    Have you lived in a pop culture vacuum? 🙂 Ep 4 is the original, and should always be watched first. 1-3 are prequels.

    The prequels (1,2,3) were the weakest
