Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Blue Jasmine

I'm not usually a big Woody Allen fan, but this one goes alright. I really enjoyed it and from what I've seen so far this year, Cate Blanchett for the Oscar.

8.5/10

I saw it yesterday at Village Cinemas in Doncaster and I can definitely come to the conclusion that it was nowhere near as good as the first one.

I thought having Brick play a larger role in the movie didn't work as well as I first thought it would. I thought all his scenes with his new girlfriend quite creepy. I still feel that Ferrell's portrayal of Ron Burgandy is what kept the movie going.

I think the first half of the movie was quite good but it lost the plot in the second half of the movie as many famous actors had cameo roles and we saw Harrison Ford turn into a werewolf :lol:.

However for its comical element it's still a bundle of laughs no doubt!
This may surprise you, but I'm actually considering watching it. It does sound pretty funny. :oops:
Go for it David. As long as you don't take it too seriously you shouldn't feel too disappointed even if you don't end up liking it.

The first one is still a class above this second movie!

Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Both the original (1947) and the remake (2013).

Original was better than the remake. First half hour is pretty much pointless.

As bizarre as the plot is, it's really very touching.

I must be the only person who doesn't find Will Ferrell remotely funny.

I digress.

All is lost with Robert Redford.

Wow has any movie had less dialogue since the development of "talkies"?

If you want to experience what it would be like to be alone at sea with a damaged yacht then this will be for you.

If not then give it a miss.

I enjoyed it enough but in reality I'm not really sure of the point of the movie.
