Use my X'mas JB voucher with their sales on now for 4 blu ray films:

The Hurt Locker
American Gangster
Slumdog Millionaire
Letters from Iwo Jima Dir by Clint Eastwood

Slumdog Millionaire is to show my old man who's in 91 & I reckon will enjoy it on the Plasma.

Also purchased via Amazon the Yes Men Change the world & a Blu ray of the first Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jnr.

Lola and I had a trashy movie evening last night with cheap pizza and Bridesmaids. Not as bad as either of us thought, but... still pretty bad. :lol:

Also saw the new Almodovar flick, The Skin I Live In. A little formulaic, but pleasingly twisted and perverse nevertheless (which is what he does best).

Saw The Blind Side was on Foxtel on Christmas Eve night. Missed the start by 10 mins so thought I'd have a quick look, see if I thought I'd be able to still get into it, then record it & watch later. My 'quick look' ended up being watching the whole thing - which finished at 12.45am (probably why Santa skipped my place :()

Very good, really enjoyed it.

I saw Mission Impossible 4 at the cinemas on Wednesday. I was impressed by it and I thought it was a lot better than 2 and 3 and almost as good or if not better than the 1st one. Tom Cruise played the role of Ethan Hunt excellently once again.

American Gangster is a goodie. So is Letters from Iwo Jima even if it is a bit long. Just been watching "Body of Lies". Another good Russ film :)

Hurt Locker is a great movie. War movie about an elite army bomb disposal team and their constant near fatal dealings with IED's.

Letters from Iwo Jima is very long, and in my opinion to long. Great movie, well directed, excellent acting but just a bit to drawn out. Though if your watching it on DVD / Bluray then at least you can fast forward the drwan out stages.

If you want to watch a great older movie try In the Name of the Father.

Yeah I watch the entire bloody thing. Mind you the only thing that kept me going was my cast iron will, though for the life of me I can't remember the ending :shock:

Battlefield Earth:
