I've seen several of them, they were sort of funny 30 years ago, in a benny hill sort of way.
Good description & they were but were a bit of fun at the time but no more than that. British sexual innuendo, know what I mean, know what I mean. Carry on up the Kyber, gay innuendo, sexual etc, Syd james, Kenneth Williams who I thought was marvellous,some talented actors in predictable shows.

While most Aussies were watching that tennis crap last night :P I tuned into SBS and watched 'City of God'.
Not something I planned but after flicking around then watching the 1st few mins I found it very difficult to not continue on.
Very confronting Brazilian movie based on true events, set in gang warfare stricken suburbs of Rio in the 70's. It's basically a 1st hand account by a budding young photographer who's closely connected to all the warfare and corruption but somehow manages to not get engulfed by it all. Powerful, violent (non gratuitous, it was all very relevant) and shocking at times but altogether a very engaging film.

Watched Sherlock Homes last night on Blue Ray on the new 50 inch plasma. Very not bad.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

You could tell it was going to be bad just from watching the previews. I mean the norm is to put the good bits in the preview to draw people to the movie and generate interest. All the SATC2 previews did was increase the chance of a person falling asleep in the movie, which isn't great considering the preview generally only last for about 30 seconds.

Crank - High Voltage.

Serious action flick with Jason Statham. I'm not sure if there was a plot there somewhere, but I enjoyed it.

Great movie. All action, shut-your-brain-off fun. A plot would have just slowed the movie down :wink:

Saw Legion on cheapskate Tuesday.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either.

I think for me the greatest disappointment was that with so much material to work with (the apocalypse), they did so little with it. This is a movie that could've been, and should have been, a grandiose experience but ended up being a shadow of it's potential.
