Hi All, I watched 'Buried' (via BBCi) last night and despite only one actor and set in the confines of a box that he is buried in it was quite good, mind you if you don't have the will power to watch the same scene for the whole film it will definitely not be for you but I thought for what it was good with a unexpected ending...
Starring:- Ryan Reynolds and the voices of the following :- José Luis García Pérez as Jabir,Robert Paterson as Dan Brenner,Stephen Tobolowsky as Alan Davenport,Samantha Mathis as Linda Conroy,Ivana Miño as Pamela Lutti,Warner Loughlin as Maryanne Conroy / Donna Mitchell / number lady,Erik Palladino
A civilian truck driver in Iraq, Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) falls victim to a band of insurgents. An unknown length of time later, Paul awakes in a coffin, with little more than a lighter, a cell phone, and his ever-growing anxiety. Faced with a dwindling oxygen supply and a dying battery, Paul must fight panic, despair and delirium as he awaits a rescue that might not arrive in time.

Hi All, I watched the very underrated 'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' via (Sky Cinema) have watched it a few times and always enjoy the film..
Starring:-Clint Eastwood,Jeff Bridges as Lightfoot,George Kennedy,Geoffrey Lewis,Gary Busey,Catherine Bach,Jack Dodson,Gregory Walcott,Vic Tayback,Bill McKinney,Roy Jenson,Burton Gilliam,Beth Howland,Dub Taylor,Claudia Lennear and June Fairchild.
While stealing a car, free-spirited drifter Lightfoot (Jeff Bridges) crosses paths with legendary thief Thunderbolt (Clint Eastwood) in the midst of his own escape. Thunderbolt's old partners in crime, Red (George Kennedy) and Eddie (Geoffrey Lewis), believe he double-crossed them after they robbed a Montana bank vault several years ago. After Thunderbolt successfully pleads his innocence and is let off the hook, Lightfoot rallies them together as a group to rob the very same bank again.

Hi All, Watched 'The Visit' via (Sky Cinema) last Wednesday night, It's meant to be a horror but to be honest creepy would describe it better, the film is shot as a video blog from the point of the kids but the filming is per a normal film and not your typical found footage or live video blog. A good waste of 94'mins if you have nothing else to watch. This film is supposed by all accounts to be a great film, but I had guessed the outcome miles before the twist towards the end. If you like creepy films then this is for you and despite what I put here is worth a gander...
Starring:-Olivia DeJonge,Ed Oxenbould,Kathryn Hahn,Deanna Dunagan,Peter McRobbie,Benjamin Kanes,Celia Keenan,Jon Douglas Rainey,Brian Gildea,Shawn Gonzalez,Richard Barlow,Erica Lynne Marszalek,Shawn Gonzalez and Michael Mariano.
Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) say goodbye to their mother as they board a train and head deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time. Welcomed by Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie), all seems well until the siblings start to notice increasingly strange behavior from the seemingly charming couple. Once the children discover a shocking secret, they begin to wonder if they'll ever make it home.

I've just watched this in iplayer... fascinating insight into how black people choose to manage their hair. I pass a lot of small hair salons around where I live and now I know more about what goes on.

Hi All, I watched 'Maggie' last night via (Sky Cinema) A different type of 'Arnold Schwarzenegger' film in a very different type of zombie apocalyptic world that you could conceive of happening. Not your overflowing zombie slaughter after zombie slaughter with gore everywhere just a good believable story and makes you think what if ? You can empathise with 'Arnies' character and the choice he is given near the end. Which would you choose is my question ? Just a good Drama/Horror film and well worth watching if you like either one or the other genres IMHO......
Starring:-Arnold Schwarzenegger,Abigail Breslin,Joely Richardson,Douglas M. Griffin,J.D. Evermore,Rachel Whitman Groves,Jodie Moore,Bryce Romero,Raeden Greer,Aiden Flowers and Carsen Flowers.
After his daughter (Abigail Breslin) is infected with a virus that transforms her into a zombie, a small-town farmer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) will stop at nothing to save her. Geoff.

Hi All, I watched 'Red 2' recorded via (Film4) just as funny as the first film especially the car chase in 'Paris' and a good scrap featuring 'Byung-hun' and a few coppers in a 'Moscow' shop, well worth a watch just keeps going from start to finish and one of those films easily watchable again......
Starring:- Bruce Willis John Malkovich,Helen Mirren,Mary-Louise Parker,Anthony Hopkins,Catherine Zeta-Jones,Byung-hun,Brian Cox,David Thewlis,Neal McDonough Garrick Hagon,Tim Pigott-Smith,Philip Arditti,Jong-Kun Lee,Mitchell Mullen,Martin Sims,Tristan D. Lalla,Natalie Buscombe,Emma Heming Willis,Steven Berkoff and Titus Welliver.
Former CIA black-ops agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) and his old partner, Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich), are caught in the grip of retirement -- but that soon changes when a powerful Cold War weapon known as Nightshade resurfaces decades after its disappearance. With assassins hot on their trail, Frank and his team set out to find the one scientist (Anthony Hopkins) who can unravel the mystery of Nightshade and help them save themselves -- and the world.

Hi All, I tried to watch via (Sky Cinema) the found footage film 'The Rendelsham UFO Incident' (A retitled Hanger 10) could only stomach 40mins absolute pants. If you want to watch three people prancing around with hand held cameras and really bad CGI (That alone should have sent alarm bells ringing) then give it a shot but it really relies on the story of the real incident and looked to be copying what some of the actual event reports stated rather than a new story of a second event occurring as this was advertised as 0/10. Anyway back to last night I watched a funny at times UK crime caper that is actually based on true events from the 70's and well recommended especially for 'Jason Statham' fans well worth a viewing IMHO.....
Starring:-Jason Statham,Saffron Burrows,Richard Lintern,Keeley Hawes,Stephen Campbell Moore,Michael Jibson,Georgia Taylor,Daniel Mays,David Suchet,Peter de Jersey,Gerard Horan,Don Gallagher,Craig Fairbrass,Peter Bowles,James Faulkner,Alki David,Robert Whitelock,Julian Lewis Jones,Andrew Brooke,Sharon Maughan,Colin Salmon,Alistair Petrie,Hattie Morahan,Rupert Frazer,Christopher Owen,Angus Wright,Les Kenny-Green,Jamie Kenna,Taylor Samways,Dillon McFarlane and Mick Jagger.
Self-reformed petty criminal Terry Leather (Jason Statham) has become a financially struggling car dealer and settled into a pedestrian London life with his wife and kids, but takes the plunge into big crime when his ex-girlfriend, Martine (Saffron Burrows), turns up with an offer to pull off a lucrative bank heist. After Terry assembles his crew of misfits and begins the operation, he finds that there are other agendas at play, and powerful players who have designs on the vault's contents. Geoff.
