In fairness I saw it with a friend who had never watched an episode of the show and she loved it too. So I think it's not just the fans of the show, but it is a very girly film.

SATC will be a DVD watch for me. I've never seen the show, only bits here and there which weren't that bad, but jumping straight into the film seems a bit silly. I'll need a marathon catchup session first!

Delicatessen (2nd view) - One of cinema's finest collections of grotesques and oddballs can be found in this wonderfully black comedy from Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. In post-apocalyptic France, newcomers to an apartment block find themselves at the wrong end the landlord/butchers cleaver, in order to provide food for the other residents. It's filled with comic setpieces and curiously endearing characters. Well worth a watch - 4/5

It was about people liking and not liking stuff. Is it in the dvd?

It doesn't appear to be. Just a commentary, trailers and a "Making Of"

Irreversible - Most pretentious pile of shite it has ever been mymisfortune to watch. Utter, utter shite from beginning to end. 0/10 :shock: Try saying what you really mean next time! ;) :D I wouldn't say I "like" this film, but I do appreciate it and own the DVD, even though its not something I can imagine watching often!

Blade 2 (3rd view) - Guillermo del Toro directs the second instalment of the Blade trilogy. Far from his best film, it's still the best of the series with some commendable action scenes, and some of the design work is excellent. Good silly fun - 3/5

Lars and the Real Girl Alien Vs Predator: Requiem No Country For Old Men Juno Hatchet Wrong Turn 2

Cheaper By The Dozen (1950, 1st view) - Pretty useless. One of those instances when I prefer the remake. Filled to the brim with toe-curlingly cutesey and annoying performances from the moppets, horribly trite dialogue and insanely melodramatic reactions to the sligh-*test*-('") problems. Not even Myrna Loy can help save the film and, as father of this tiring family, Clifton Webb creates a truly unlikeable character. None of this is really what you want in family comedy - 2/5 Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (1st view) - I've never seen any of Cohen's characters before, either on the small or big screen. Clips I'd seen just left me cold, so I approached this with trepidation. Thankfully, I needn't have worried as the laughs started with the DVD menu page. Borat is a horrible character, but he's also terribly watchable, and there is a great car crash value to seeing how ordinary people react to him. It's like a cross between Monty Python, Jackass and Beadle's About. Very funy - 4/5

Sex and the City Crap. I've never been so bored in a cinema in my life. Sarah Jessica Parker and the Brunette are so Irritating.The four of them are the most shallow set of characters i've seen. The only redeeming parts came from Kim Catrall and SJP Assistant. If you're NOT a fan of the show - sit this one out. 3/10

Bints... :D

This Is England (1st view) – Easily Shane Meadows’ best film to date (I wasn’t overly impressed with Dead Man’s Shoes). Everything about this seems to flow together more naturally, and it has some tremendous performances, especially from Stephen Graham, who is horribly convincing as racist thug Combo. Strangely, despite almost every review offering glowing praise, I thought Thomas Turgoose was merely good. At times he excels, other times he just looks like someone trying tot hard to act. The tension in the film is palpable and event though you can tell where the story is going, the conclusion is still powerful and saddening – 4/5 Grimm Love/Rohtenburg (1st view) – Inspired by the case of Armin Meiwes, this follows American student Keri Russell, who is in Germany researching a cannibalistic murder/suicide that occurred 4 years earlier. It’s a horrifying case and if it wasn’t for the fact it was true you’d wonder how on Earth someone could make it up. Thomas Kretchsmann and Thomas Huber play the killer and victim, and the films works best when concentrating on these two. Not your average Friday night fun flick! – 3/5
