The plot development of the film: Starting off doing something for himself which also benefits someone else as a by-product, then getting redirected to do another job before he can complete it, then getting comandeered to do another by another person, until every job ties up one by one.
Just re-watched Paths of Glory. Didn't like the film on my first viewing, and the DVD lay collecting dust for years. Really enjoyed it this time around, horrifying though the subject matter is. Admittedly it is a relatively short film, but it just flew over this time. Will definitely re-watch it again.
I think it just depends on what mood I'm in as to how much I enjoy a film.

I thought you were on about the passing resemblance between Shrek and Matt Damon's character in the film
Good looking film with a decent enough premise, but tbh it's all kind of been done before and I'm starting to find these zombie movies a little boring now. It's worth seeing once tho
United 93
6/10
The depiction of what the passengers went through made for very (intentionally) uncomfortable viewing, especially considering that passengers on another three flights that day experienced the same terror.
Having abandoned the novel 'The Ruins' by Scott Smith as it was appallingly bad, I gave the film a go.
It stunk. 1/10 Not advised for anyone.Puerile crap!
White House Down.. Bloody awful, cheap looking, crap effects, embarrassing humour, sanitized action for the kiddies, unbelievable President (less plausible than Bill Pulman's ID4 prez), schmaltzy, jingoistic twaddle. Yep. Totally hated it.
Olympus Has Fallen definitely wins the battle of the two White House under attack films of this year. Grab that on dvd / bluray if you haven't already seen it; far, far better.

Was it really that bad? Was going to give it a viewing at some point, but might leave it now.

Plus that opening, with the Enterprise underwater and the volcanic 'stoneage' community. Awesome
Also, watched Elysium at the cinema, loved it. Great sci-fi film.
Mark Kermode's The Real Linda Lovelace is a lot better.
Riders In A Sky (Nebestí jezdci) (1968) 8/10
Harrelson was solid enough. Film was a little disjointed and an abrupt ending with a lot of unanswered and unresolved points.

Rating for WHD - 1/5. A stinker.
