    Completely agree.. Can't believe I missed it during it's release... Saw it a few months ago. Absolutely fantastic. One of those movies you want to see again straight after it.

    That's what it said on the back cover and it wasn't wrong! But it was nearing 2am last night when I finished it, so it had to wait.

    I'd missed a lot of Nolan's films, only saw the Batman ones. I have Inception to thank for making me see the rest :D

    I seem to be slumming it at the moment, catching trashy films on TV that I would never pay to see:

    Last Thursday: Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (a.k.a. Get the Munchies in Europe). Completely round the bend, up the wall, and over the top. Neil Patrick Harris steals the show, slightly. Epic Quest.

    Saturday Night: The Glass House: Leelee Sobieski as a teenager whose parents die in a car crash, and is taken in (with her little brother) by the neighbours (Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgård), who seem to have a lot of money. What could possibly go wrong? :rolleyes:

    Sunday evening: 27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl and James Marsden. Though I've seen a few rom-coms, I was never quite clear on the concept of the "meet cute", but this one has a text-book example:
    she gets knocked flying by bridesmaids fighting over the bouquet, he's there to pick her up.

    After the last week, I may have to pitch a tent in the IFI lobby, just to try to absorb some movie credibility ... :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    The Hitcher (The original...........of course)

    Still an awesome movie. Rutger Hauer plays the unsympathetic, soul-less lunatic perfectly. It also has a certain edge over other horrors by it's cinematography which is first class.

    The 2007 version is a load of old pants.

    Took a while to come together but once it did it was good.

    The Faun's Labyrinth: (Pan's Labyrinth)
    Couldn't help being slightly disappointed with this one given the big reputation. It was a good movie but it was no "The Fall" or "Labyrinth (1986)" by any stretch of the imagination. It almost got gets going both times she ventures into the fantasy world but each venture was over far too quickly and it dwelled overlong in the real world. A bit predictable with stereotypical characterisations throughout but a good story nonetheless.

    Batman Begins: saw this for the first time Saturday night, I was a bit apprehensive because I had seen the Dark Knight already and was worried that would pale this prequel in comparison. I was really plesantly surprised by it though, Liam Neeson in particular I really liked and of course Michael Caine. The only thing I didnt like was Katie Holmes, definalty much weaker performance than what Maggie Gyllenhall played in Dark Knight.

    Matinee, love me some Joe Dante and its a charming little movie. Set in Key West during the Cuban missile crisis, a young boy who is a huge monster movie fan is going through teenage stuff while the Hitchcockesque showman movie producer Lawence Woolsey (John Goodman) brings his latest monster flick Mant! to the town for its premiere to capitalise on the impending nuclear war hysteria gripping the town, nice little movie, pity it didnt do so well.

    I presume you mean Region B! ;)

    Will that even be released this side of Christmas? Might wait to see if the Region A Blu-ray is region-free.. it's out in 3 weeks time in the US on DVD and Blu-ray.

    EDIT: Not out til January 24th 2011 on Region 2 DVD / Region B Blu-ray. Feck that!

    I've grown tired of explaining to people that R2 and RB are the same so I've returned to simply calling it R2.

    I would imagine that the RA Blu will be region free but you never know, a few reports have said it is region locked hat's yet to be verified. I have a copy preordered for months now and really can't wait to sit down one cold evening and watch it.

    "The A Team"

    I thought it would be a load of dribble, but I was surprisingly entertained. Good action and they made the story as original as they could.

    7/10

    Lionsgate are releasing it who have released roughly 60% of their titles as Region-Free.. it's not much of a margin, but here's hoping.

    Could be worse, I've picked up Blu Ray series which were advertised as being region free and discovered that 1 of the discs isn't region free. The most ridiculous thing ever.
