I thought he was quite good in The Insider. The problem was as soon as Al Pacino and Christopher Plummer came to the camera it put Crowe's acting ability into context and not in a positive way.

I watched something called 'Page 8' recently, it had Michael Gambon and Bill Nighy in it. There's this scene where they are sitting around a table talking to the 'Foreign Secretary' and they were so good they made everyone else look like they'd never acted before !!! It was quite incredible!!

I kept meaning to see it with my wife as she thought that it was great, but it never happened. Will have to look out for it on Sky.

It's worth buying a copy. Both 1 and 2 are £12.49 on Amazon. Well worth the price.

The Gods must be Crazy is brilliant! and the 2nd one is nearly as good. I was introduced to them by my South African friends and I loved them both.

Yes, I saw Page 8 and enjoyed it enormously. The acting was of a very high quality. Did you also see The Shadow Line that was on a couple of months ago?

Good morning, Gingerlily! You look much more chipper!

Have you read Darren's To Infinity yet? It's a gas!

Yes and it is the smelliest book I ever read!

No Geoff, I missed that one.

I tried to do it in kindlesmellovision, but couldn't figure out how to get the smells to come out of the kindle.

Maybe that's a technical upgrade I can talk Amazon into for the Kindle Surefire6 (hey it's as good a name as any they've come up with).

I managed to smell it anyway. I have a vivid imagination...

Clearly the skill of the author in managing to succesfully evoke the ... oh who the hell am I kidding?

Well I think everything you do is wonderful...as long as it is covered with custard

It's odd how your ship has Mrs Roddenberry's voice, Darren.

Ah yes, but is ever so slightly more expressive.

If by expressive you mean sarcastic, I agree. A bit of whozit the robot from HHGTTG in there too, I think...
Can you tell I'm really enjoying it? Okay, I'll shut up now. ;)

I think you're thinking of Marvin. Whozit indeed, pah!

Yeah, whahizname.

We're watching another episode of Wire in the Blood while we eat homemade pizza. The lead chick has a face like a slapped arse.

Says the woman with the clowns face.

I promise I'll give it back. Not put it in the box under the bed with all the other faces... Heh heh heh

Marvin the Paranoid android with a brain the size of a planet and a pain in all the diodes down his left side. Life, don't talk to him about life.

Douglas Adams RIP

Or make him park space ships

Or take him to the seaside.

Oceans. Can't bear oceans.

It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

Just finished watching the first season of Breaking Bad. It's brilliant. My new favourite show (well since I am all caught up with Dexter now). The main character is played by Bryan Cranston (I hadn't heard of him before) and he plays an excellent part.

Can't wait for season 2 dvd to arrive in the mail.

A lazy link for anyone who wants to check it out on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Breaking-Bad-...

The Walking Dead. I didn't think it could get any worse. I was wrong :/

Oh no! Is it not worth getting season two then?

On behalf of the pro Walking Dead Lobby I thought that it was awesome.

Oh grief. Now I'm torn.

Thanks ever so much guys. Sheesh.

I'll be starting to watch it over the weekend, so I will report accordingly. Mind you Shaun, you didn't like series 1 I seem to remember.

We watched Sexy Beast last night. I can't see Ben Kingsley without seeing Ghandi so it was really weird watching it.

Just watched Tangled. I'm still sobbing!

No, I didn't like season 1 of The Walking Dead. I had hoped it would improve but episode 1 of season 2 just sucked. The characters are just plain stupid IMHO. Take for example the mother of the girl who has gone missing. As a parent myself, I know I would do everything in my power to find her and sod everything else. The woman in this hardly seems bothered. When the others stay behind to look for her, hell, I'd be with them until the end. Then there was the 'searching in the body' scene. Gore for gores sake as there was no reason for it at all. They wouldn't be able to deduce anything from it. Then there was the cut arm that looked like a main artery had been severed. Then the character is as right as rain the next moment. As I said, it's just not very good. But again, I may be in the minority.

Tangled is great..such a funny film

Me and my boyfriend have finally got Thor last night and, even if it was mostly his choice, i enjoyed it more than him, usually that's the way it goes. I likes the action, the actors, the lines, except a bit disappointed with the end, felt like needed something more. but all in all, a good film to enjoy

I watched 'The Green Lantern' last night. Disappointed.
Could have been MUCH better! And WHY do the baddies have to be so grotesque? Seriously....I couldn't eat breakfast this morning!

Tangled is the best Disney that I've seen since The Little Mermaid. Loved 'em both. (Not a patch on the Pixar ones though. Broke my heart at the end of Toy Story 3).

Patti (Pennywise) wrote: "Just watched Tangled. I'm still sobbing!"

Great film :)

The animation of the hair was truly amazing. I recall watching a few years about how tricky it is to animate hair and fur. I think they've made huge improvements in recent years!

You're right about pixar. Their story lines are generally fantastic.

Wall-E is one of the greatest films of all time.

I have to skip the first wee bit of Up though. The first time I watched it at home Gee had to turn it off cause I was so upset.

I went to see Lion King 3D in the cinema on Sat it was amazing!! I think it is one of the best Disney films ever and the Little Mermaid is coming out soon in 3D as well! its my favourite so really excited!!

Ooo I've not watched 'Up' yet. Must ask my mate if she has it. I've been wanting to borrow 'Cars' and 'Cars 2' off her for ages but her boys watch them practically every day and I'd feel guilty taking them.

The Lion King And The Little Mermaid are wonderful!

We were all sobbing away at the start of Up. A brilliant film.

Have any of you people watched any if the Japanese Anime movies from Myakagi? If not, may I recommend Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro to get you started? Absolutely brilliant films. Once you get started you'll want to see them all.

I stopped watching Disneys after Lion King got me crying for days in a row... oh and after we all had to watch Pinocchio twice a day for a fortnight when my brother had chickenpox. Oh and after my ears got shot by a little girl I used to babysit, because she loved singing the Pocahontas songs (she was only 4)...

I would also recommend Ponyo which is absolutely magical and good for all ages.

Be warned, though, that some of them (Princess Mononoke for example) can freak out the smaller audience.

Ooooh I loved Princess Mononoke, but then I was 19 when I watched it lol !

I saw a manga type cartoon once, it was about two kids during the world war or something like that. Cried my eyes out all along... as bad as Disneys...

Maybe telly's just not for me... haven't watched anything for ages... maybe that's why I've been much happier recently !

Sprinkling some love ♥ ♥ ♥

Ah, that was Grave of the Fireflies. I have it on DVD but have never had the nerve to watch it. I will one day.

Yeah that's it Geoff... looked for the name for ages but couldn't remember back along. I thought it was beautiful though. Just make sure you have lots of tissues at hand.

What do I search for? Grave of the Fireflies? Am I particularly thick today? I think I killed a bunch of braincells Saturday night...
