Films

Finally watched The Artist last night. Good, but I think all the hype has dulled it a little for me. I did enjoy that it was filmed in 4:3 though.

I get what you mean, I think I watched it at the right time. Pre-oscars and I didn't know much about it before, in fact I was under the impression only the first twenty minutes was silent. So I was waiting for them all to magically start speaking. By the end I was glad they didn't speak.

Really looking for to the new Aardman film Pirates. Can't wait.

I must admit I am too

Me too. Keeping Hugh Grant employed is a worry though.

Me too. Grant has to do something, hookers don't pay for themselves.

So I went and saw 'The Hunger Games' last night, actually I was a little disappointed after it was hyped so much. By that I mean it was good, just that I was expecting more. I haven't read the book so I can't say how accurate it is. It is clear where the next one in the series is going, it does have that 'Twilight-teeny' feel to it. It took me a while to recognise Elizabeth Banks in that outfit.

How long before we need to prepare for the barrage of, "OMG Battle Royale was a rip of Hunger Games!!!??111!!?" exclamations?

Yeah I suspect there are going to be a few of those posts. For a 12A rated film though it should be obvious it ain't no 'Battle Royale' clone.
