I watched The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, starring Paul Newman.

After Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, both actors went on to make another western. Robert Redford made the superb Jeremiah Johnson, whilst Newman made the quirky, but interesting Judge Roy Bean.

And it featured the most beautiful woman in the world (TM) of the time Jacqueline Bisset.

Nice dreams last night then?

Actually, if you compare JB with Sophie Marceau you can probably detect a pattern emerging.

and where does Elvira fit in?

Where is it, it'd be a tight squeeze.

Imagine playing sardines with those three. Darren, stop drooling right now!

He's not going to get any work done today now.

Snigger, snigger.

If I was playing with those three then sardines wouldn't have any part of it.

Charades? Noughts n crosses? Peek a boo?

Doctors and nurses, tarts and vicars, actresses and bishops, presidents and cigar girls...

Whatever the game is it would be x-rated!

Presidents n cigar girls hehe.

I can see steam coming out of your ears Darren! Be careful of the blood pressure...

Has anyone watched Sons Of Anarchy? We started season one last night and it's pretty good, I think. Sort of Sopranos on motorcycles.

I went to see 50/50 last night, I dont think a "comedy" has ever upset me so much!! I was crying my lamps out. Not sure that it really qualifies as a comedy but it was still very good. Not one to see if you are a sensitive soft sap like me but then its about cancer so would prob hit home for a lot of people...

That one good a pretty good review from the Great Quiff Mark Kermode.

On the other hand, he also liked Twiglet-Breaking Wind which I went to see last night and was somewhat less than impressed with. And if you must know I went because a friend of mine is determined to see them and nobody else will go with her - nuff said.

Just watched Arthur Christmas with my Nephew and Niece and really enjoyed it, made all the better for being voiced by English actors and about a girl from Cornwall.

Just watched Captain America in 3D. I've never been a big fan of most 'comic strip super hero' films, but I really enjoyed this one. A solid 8/10 from me. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458339/

Just watched (last night) Happy Feet 2 !!! EEEEE! So. damn. Good.

I'm watching A League of Gentleman Apocolypse, I think it's called. Surreal.

Watching Yogi Bear, with side orders of Snagglepuss!

Watching Orange County Choppers ! Love that program, and I am so not into bikes ! I think it's more like the whole family thing. I promise I'm not into reality TV... well just this one !

I was quite disappointed with that movie, especially after the superb final series.

Sounds like a false teeth convention to be Lorraine.

Orange teeth? I have DVDs of the program on my massive TBW pile.

Don't get what you're saying Geoff :(

Do I need to look up false teeth in the urban dictionary?

So it seems.

Oh ok - will do that tomorrow, I'm too tired :) Nighters x

Over the weekend (how long ago does that seem)I managed to coax my 2 year old through her first full-length movie. She did get quite concerned when the Smurfs got into danger, but it all turned out well enough, but I won't be getting that two hours of my life back. Avoid.

Also caught Season of the Witch on Sky with Nicolas Cage. What happened Nic? You won an oscar for Leaving Las Vegas and were hailed as the actor of your generation for the likes of Birdy. Now you're doing clag like this ... and not making it any better either.

That's weird Darren, I just watched that last night too on Lovefilm! Not good, was it, even the presence of Ron Perlman didn't help. I keep watching Nic Cage movies though, cos when he's good he's very very good. Only recent one I would recommend is Kick-Ass, great fun but not one to watch with the kids! He looks like he's having fun again in that. The young chap Aaron Johnson who plays Kick-Ass is good, saw him in Nowhere Boy as the young John Lennon recently and he was excellent in that.

You do the best reviews, Darren. That and novel writing are your true callings, I think.

just watched the damned utd,it was damned good

I thought that movie was hilarious, it was so cheesy sterotypically American (I hope this doesnt come across as offensive but it was just so unbritish) Was very good though. I'm looking forward to seeing Sherlock Holmes out tomorrow :o)

These are the movies showing on my flight tomorrow. Anyone have any recommendations?

http://virginatlantic.mymovies.net/

Hop is cute, Bridesmaid is funny although was a bit much for my kind of humour, and Cars 2 was enjoyable (I loved it)

Patti (Totally Bananas) wrote: "These are the movies showing on my flight tomorrow. Anyone have any recommendations?

What, all of them? Just how long is your flight?
Tinker Tailor etc is excellent though. And I watch anything with Ewan Macgregor in it but lately that hasn't been a good move,sadly

The flight is just under six hours so I should be able to fit three films.

I'm thinking The Help cuz I loved the book, We Need to Talk About Kevin, again because I liked the book but the subject matter is rather gloomy and Red Riding Hood cuz I've wanted to see it for ages.

But I'll also want to watch all the Simpons episodes....

Good thing there's no entertainment on the short flight or I wouldn't be reading Darren's book. I hate the short flight. Small plane. Ich.

Patti (Totally Bananas) wrote: "These are the movies showing on my flight tomorrow. Anyone have any recommendations?

Tinker Tailor and Super 8 would be among my choices, with Pirates of the Caribbean if I have time (Because I've already seen it).

Depending how silly we get at the hotel tomorrow night, I may be sleeping the whole flight...

aparently the help is REALLY long for a movie. but if you are stuck on a plane its not like you have anything better to do...

Oh. Maybe I'll wait for the DVD then.

Jud (Krisztof) wrote: "aparently the help is REALLY long for a movie. but if you are stuck on a plane its not like you have anything better to do..."

When I watched it, it was just called Help and John was hilarious.

Your age is showing Geoff.

I really didn't enjoy Red Riding Hood even though I was so excited for it D:

Okay...that leaves the gloomy film. Reading and the Simpsons it is. :)

@ Rosemary

Kick Ass is absolutely ace and the first time that I think Nic Cage has done anything worth watching in a very long time.

Patti

Tinker Tailor got very good reviews, as did There's Something about Kevin, but it's not an easy subject. The only two that I've seen are Battle: Los Angeles which wasn't all that and Harry Potter 7B which was good, as long as you've seen the other 7 movies.

I've got the final Harry potter DVD waiting for me in Barry. Wouldn't want to waste the experience on a teeny airplane screen. We'll bring back here and watch it on the big screen. I'll check out Tinker Tailor. It's hard being out of the loop here. No idea what's been released recently.

We're watching Stone at the moment. Really good. Couldn't not be with DeNiro and Edward Norton in it. I really should concentrate on it.
