The Aviator - I enjoyed it. I'd only seen Leonardo DiCaprio in two other films (Titanic, and Gangs of New York), neither of which I liked, but I thought he was good in this one. I'll keep it.
True story about rich kids with too much time on their hands who burglarize homes belonging to celebrities Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom and many others.
Moral of this movie?
Do not leave your front door unlocked with the alarm not set and leave keys under the front door mat.
Paris' home was hit at least 5 times, each time her home was unsecured and unlocked and she didn't noticed anything was missing until after the 5th burglary.
I watched this film from beginning to end and I didn't even realize until the end that one of the girls in it was Emma Watson.
The Conversation - Early '70s movie with Gene Hackman as a surveilance expert. He was very good in it, and the film was alright, but I wouldn't want to watch it again.
Cyborg Cop - I fast forwarded it a lot. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy or not.
'No Way To Treat A Lady' an oldie but goodie! Rod Steiger hamming it up big time as a serial killer who is also an 'actor' who uses make up and costumes to create his different characters for the crimes.
George Segal as a jewish cop living with his mother (stereotypical? never!) called Moe Brummell! And the very wonderful Lee Remick as the love interest. I should have watched this as a companion piece to 'Theatre of Blood' a few weeks ago! 8/10
Night of the Demons (2009) on Horror Channel a couple of weeks ago.
Typical 'hot teens get possessed by demons in a haunted house' movie, with elements of Evil Dead, Day of the Dead etc.
7/10
Peter Pan (1953) - I think it was one of the Disney classics I hadn't seen in its entirety. Had the Pan/Hook/Croc main sequence durign Tiger Lily's rescue on 8mm cine back int he day - and also one of those Disney story-and-clips-from-film albums.
Nice of Netflix to add it to their playout collection.

Tries too hard to be quirky.

The Tailor of Panama - Worth one viewing.
Ghost Ship - It's rubbish, but I actually quite enjoyed it until the last fifteen minutes.
Nice of Netflix to add it to their playout collection.
Enjoyed it. Special mention to Danny Huston whom I thought was excellent as the vampire leader.
7/10
Arbitrage - 2/10
Fast and Furious 6 - 8/10
