Good sci-fi hokum with Malcolm McDowell as H G Wells going after Jack The Ripper (David Warner) in modern day San Francisco with the use of his time machine!
I actually saw The Change-Up after that but had to leave half way because I was feeling sick. If anyone's seen it then I'd love to know whether the second half is worth watching and whether they might fancy reviewing it for my site...?
The Social Network - 7.5/10 - another surprisingly good film, considering I've never given a flying flip about social network sites. Spoilt a little by Jesse Whatsisface's fast talking, which really took some effort to understand at times.
Dogtooth - 5/10 intentionally bizarre Greek film about the perils of depriving children from proper social interaction. Filmed with a cool detachment, and acted with restraint bordering on sleepwalking, containing parentally-ordered incest, graphic sex, and random bloody violence it's an odd filmic experience to say the least. The main message seems to be bonkers parents are highly likely to raise bonkers children. Though I'm sure it's possible to read pretty much what you want into it. Oddly, even though I didn't care for it much, I'm somehow glad I've seen it.
I wanted to see it when it came out but I couldn't convince anyone to come to the cinema. Found it in Tesco for £2 a couple of weeks ago! Fabulous film, well worth the wait. Delicious visuals.
I enjoyed seeing the old buses more than hearing the old jokes.
What i love about these old Buses films is that there is no traffic on the roads ,you can park anywhere hardly any parking charges and no speed cameras !..oh heaven .. take me back now !
At the Earths Core 1976 ! 6/10 silly but entertaining sci-fi yarn...the special effects are laughable !...the best bit was seeing Caroline Munro in her sackcloth clothes ! ...
A Room In Rome - 8/10 Spanish arthouse movie, set in Rome, starring a Russian and a Spaniard, speaking mostly in English. What starts as an erotic adventure slowly turns into a touching love story over the course of one night. An engineer picks up a tennis player for a one night stand only to end up desperately in love, but the tennis player's going back to Moscow in the morning to get married to someone else. Will they go their separate ways come the dawn?
Oh, I should mention they're both smoking hot women and spend most of the film completely naked. I was there for the art, of course.
The Social Network 9/10, was really good, didn't really know what to expect, but I really like how it was showing the story of Facebook and the Lawsuits together as they lead to the final conclusion.
Probably not 100% fact, but worked out really well.

True Grit [2010] - Will I be uncool forever if I admit to liking the John Wayne version more?
Pretentious ain't the word, it would have got 0/10 if it wasn't for some well-filmed scenes of natural beauty
