F*** that End of Watch was a good movie.
Watched the latest Resident Evil movie the other day. If you like RE at all, SKIP THIS ONE and forget about the whole series ever happened. WORST RE EVER. Looper was pretty good tho. Def worth the watch |

watched the bourne legacy and premium rush last weekend. decent movies. the first 30 mins of bourne were a bit slow but it was the better of the two movies.

I just watched Premium Rush recently and found it surprisingly great.

I thought Lawless was pretty good.
Fire with Fire wasn't too bad either. |

Wreck-It Ralph
Mulholland Drive (first time I've watched it without being confused, yay) Skyfall (it's no Goldeneye, but hey... Spoiler: the movie does not make sense in many ways, but julian assange kills judi dench and they replace her with voldemort, Q is now played by mark zuckerberg, and moneypenny is black) last edited by thermite at 15:41:37 06/Dec/12 |

Disliked End of Watch. Too much drama, not enough police bad assery. And i guessed the ending which is rare for me. Knew they would tug @ the heart strings. Training Day was tonnes better, more action, less drama.
And Magic Mike. WTF rev? |
03:56pm 06/12/12 Permalink
Re wasn't as good as the last ones but worth a watch Imo. I too was surprised with premium rush, watched it after looper. Thought Mr levitt did a great job in looper.

TED is something you'll watch once and wish the dvd stuffed up half way through it
lol@thermite ... description of skyfall... NAILED IT Have a look at avatar - watched it on the new 70 sharp my mate picked up - its worth watching again to revel in it's 3d beauty on a new screen weather you like the movie or not. Lord of the rings trilogy on blueray would be pretty epic too - would also consume a large portion of your weekend |

Watched Dark Knight Rises on blu-ray. Such a good movie but my god Matthew Modine's character is a waste of time and every scene he is in he just seems to make the scene worse. How much better would have the first Batman scene been if he wasn't in the car with Blake saying his dumb "I'm gonna get the Batman!" lines? Plus every other thing he does is f*****g stupid. He really didn't need to be in the movie at all. Maybe they just wanted some sort of joker reference in the movie no matter how vague it was.

04:59pm 06/12/12 Permalink
Saw Argo a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Don't think it's reached the home video network yet. Savages wasn't bad either.

06:24pm 06/12/12 Permalink
if you liked promethius try vanilla ice - cool as ice. well played. I find promethius to be a great sci-fi flick, only in hindsight. At the time, it was just another spacey movie whilst i kept waiting for any aliens references. I thoroughly enjoyed end of watch. And The world is never enough was on telly the other night. I only like watching bond movies to try and guess when bond is going to say the name of the movie. this one was probably the most easiest. annoying chick : i can give you the world james Bond : the world is never enough. |

Watching swerve atm, not bad for an aussie flick.
|
09:05pm 06/12/12 Permalink
Dredd 3D was pretty good. (B grade action flick awesomeness; that and it was a total sleeper film for me (I expected rubbish and was pleasantly surprised))
And Thermite, you need to post that description of Skyfall on the wiki page and IMDB!! |
09:25pm 06/12/12 Permalink
TED is something you'll watch once and wish the dvd stuffed up half way through it Lies, it was one of the funniest movies I've seen for ages. But then I guess it hinges very heavily on how funny you find Seth Mcfarlane's brand of humour. |
09:42pm 06/12/12 Permalink
It had moments of funny, but the plot was f*****g stupid and typical. Seth Mcfarlanes worst work ever imo.
|
09:54pm 06/12/12 Permalink
I have to agree. It was funny, had some awesome moments and was worth watching, but overall the story felt pretty lacking.
|
10:23pm 06/12/12 Permalink
Not a new movie but "The other guys".. loved it. Mark wallberg is funniest when he's angry.
Also End of Watch is also written by the same writers of Training Day? i'm awn it. I'm still waiting for The Second Day of Training to come out. |
01:57am 07/12/12 Permalink
Just watched The Sapphires. It's a good Australian movie that doesn't suck like most of them. For once someone actually made a movie that isn't depressing as f***. Also, this is quite a tear-jerker so you might need some tissues handy. And the music is actually nice as well. I was expecting to skip past the singing but I was pleasantly surprised.
Well done everybody! |
11:48pm 07/12/12 Permalink
TED is something you'll watch once and wish the dvd stuffed up half way through it Best review of TED ever, could not agree any more. Last movie I watched was tonight and was the Bourne Legacy. I have to agree with ravn0s and that the first ~30mins were a bit slow but then most of the other Bourne movies were the same. Picked up towards the end an the obligatory massive action packed chase scene was pretty good. |
12:00am 08/12/12 Permalink
latest bond movie was crap imo. probably the worst of the newer ones ive seen.
One movie that stuck with me was looper. Was more interesting than even the final batman movie. |
02:21am 08/12/12 Permalink
latest bond movie was crap imo. probably the worst of the newer ones ive seen. Are you another one of those people who wanted more laser watches, exploding toothpaste and submarine cars? |
02:35am 08/12/12 Permalink
I came out of Skyfall underwhelmed as well. Maybe because it was hyped as the best ever which it was not.
Watched the Bourne Legacy the other night. Loved the drone strike scene on the hut! |
07:15am 08/12/12 Permalink
Are you another one of those people who wanted more laser watches, exploding toothpaste and submarine cars? Most memorable bond moments aren't the action scenes. Its the conspiracies, characters and interesting places. Cant quite pick why skyfall was bad, but something wasn't right. Cant wait for looper to come out on blu ray |
10:31am 08/12/12 Permalink
I came out of Skyfall underwhelmed as well Same, but in retrospect it's coz it seemed to want NOTHING to do with the other two [Daniel Craig as Bond] movies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the plot from 'Casino Royale' directly fed into the plot from 'Quantum of Solace' and I don't for the life of me, recall the QoS plot wrapping up. Then again, DC is contracted for another Bond flick. The more I think about it, I liked the 'low-key' approach of Skyfall. More about Bond (y'know, being flawed etc etc), and less about the 'conspiracy of the week'. |
12:07pm 08/12/12 Permalink
I assumed it didn't follow on because Quantum of Solace was s*** and they wanted to forget it ever happened.
I'm a bit suprised tbh, because when Skyfall came out and there was a thread about it, it was filled almost entirely with praise, now it seems like everyone didn't like it. I loved it personally, dunno if I agree with the "best Bond movie ever" hyperbole but its certainly up there as one of my favourites. |
12:13pm 08/12/12 Permalink
Sinister - great horror movie I thought and went in a different direction than I was expecting it to which made it have quite a good ending IMO.
|
12:37pm 08/12/12 Permalink
Skyfall had the best bad guy I have seen in a very long time. He made the movie.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil: This movie is hilarious. It's a parody on the hillbilly serial killer hunting down teenage kids. Cabin in the Woods: This movie is hard to describe but think SCP (the website) combined with teenage kids in a creepy house. It's fun to watch both sides try and not screw up. |
01:52pm 09/12/12 Permalink
If you don't want a massive shoot em up action show try these 2 for some light hearted Sunday arvo entertainment.

I decided to watch the halo 4: forward upon dawn. Movie ( I believe was adapted/from YouTube?, but I watched on iTunes)
Was rather surprised it certainly wasn't perfect, but I think it was a hell of a job. |

Yeah it is Rev
Also a heads up on this site http://www.crackle.com/ which also has a great app if you ave a tablet. Well the iPad app is good I can't vouch Android. It's a lot of old movies and TV shows out of copyright for free. Quite a good selection. |

I watched Triangle last night and quite enjoyed it, seemed strange they were trying to pass Queensland off as the US though.

Cabin in the Woods: This movie is hard to describe but think SCP (the website) combined with teenage kids in a creepy house. It's fun to watch both sides try and not screw up. great movie because it's not your typical horror movie. |
04:24pm 09/12/12 Permalink
Vantage Point
Just watched it on 9 luckily i was able to skip Ads coz its one of those movies you have to concentrate on. The US President is assasinated and the assaination is told from different vantage points of all the players ulitimately at the end you find out the whole plan. good show. |
11:43pm 11/01/13 Permalink
I found Dredd to be an awesome movie extremely undeserving of the s***** box office pull it got. I can only put it down to the horrid Dredd movie from the 90s with Stallone which left a bad taste in people's mouths. Well worth watching.
Something else I found amazing was the japanese movie Rurouni Kenshin. Never seen any of the anime or manga behind it so I went in knowing nothing and still throughly enjoyed it. The speed some of the fights ended up going was pretty nuts too. Good amount of blood in it where it counted. Great action movie so if you can see it, I highly recommend it. |
11:54pm 11/01/13 Permalink
Watched Chronicle last weekend, that was pretty cool
|
12:00am 12/01/13 Permalink
Yeah vantage point was good. Each new viewpoint adds extra info til the twist is revealed.
I also really enjoyed Triangle. Confusing as f*** even after i spent time online trying to understand all the plot twists n s***. Cabin in the woods was good. Didnt like the whole underpinning idea as to why horror movie scenarios were required. Saw the new total recall. Really liked some of the tech and the new twist on the movie while keeping some features of the original. I loled when i saw the s***house rating it got on IMDB. I really enjoyed it. Saw inglorious basterds for the 2nd time ever a week or so ago. Im not a fan of heavy dialogue movies but goddam that was good. Such great suspense. |
12:17am 12/01/13 Permalink
Just watched The Sapphires. It's a good Australian movie that doesn't suck like most of them. For once someone actually made a movie that isn't depressing as f***. Not Suitable For Children is another new one that is ok. It has some hawt sex in it and you get to see Ryan Kwanten's ass again. |

I watched 7 psychopaths tonight, is was pretty good, A+ would recommend.
Watched Django the other day, was long but also pretty good, A+ would recommend. |

+1 for:
Safety Not Guaranteed Dredd 3D Also recom: Jeff who lives at home Argo I was dissapointed by Ted, it's hardly as hilarious as everyone made out, few laughs here and there but mostly s***. Flash Gordon was the best bit. |
01:16am 12/01/13 Permalink
I watched Drive recently (I was curious after learning it inspired Hotline Miami). For such a good movie I was surprised I hadn't heard about it when it was released back in 2011. It's a bit of a slow-burner though, so don't watch it if you've got a short attention span. I had heard good things about Drive but apart from 1 or 2 brief scenes of violence, it was slow and boring as f*** IMO, the complete opposite of hotline miami. Looking forward to seeing Dredd. |
10:52am 12/01/13 Permalink
I loved both these movies ...Unthinkable,looper,well woth a watch but you can make up your own mind... |
12:31pm 12/01/13 Permalink
dredd was kick ass. ted was ok. it wasn't as funny as it was made out to be. i didn't really like looper. i thought it was kind of boring. it might have been because i was expecting it to be an action movie with time travel elements and it wasn't. i have to give it props for that awesome torture scene though.

Pitch Perfect was a fantastic film. I've gone back and rewatched some scenes. I love that song "No Diggity", I'd just been listening to it on YouTube before I watched that movie. What are the odds, in 20 years I hadn't heard that song!
Maybe I should start watching Glee. Here's a taste I wish my life was like that movie |

that s**** unbeleebable!!!! |
09:14am 15/01/13 Permalink
just watched total recall and for the first time ever in my life i got a visual headache from the CONSTANT STROBE LIGHTING in the movie.. i found i had to turn away from the screen 3 times just because it was too much.
movie is ok but wtf at that lighting idea.. like f*** s*** is even flashing in areas where it shouldnt be. |
12:43pm 15/01/13 Permalink
I loved the transport system in Total Recall that went through the earths core, and how it did the gravity switch halfway and everything flipped around. I don't have how implausible it is, that just resonated with me as really freaking cool. Also liked the phone thats embedded in your hand and you put your hand on any pane of glass to make it the screen. The movie was pretty cool I thought, had plenty of good action too.
|
01:04pm 15/01/13 Permalink
woah, checked out the 3d version of madagascar 3. Twas gonna grab that from werk today but Hotel Transylvania came out yesterday so I'm gonna watch that instead tonite. Only grabbed the 2D version though. I'll get Madagascar 3 tomorrow. So many good things out atm. |
03:54pm 15/01/13 Permalink
Looper was good I enjoyed not knowing what it was about, so every minute I was like WTF especially in the home invasion scene.
Mass Effect Paragon lost wasn't bad, just tells the tale of Vega from ME3, it's only 1.5 hours I've wasted more time doing other s***. The Watch wasn't a bad movie a few laughs here and there. Going to see 'This is 40' this weekend looks hilarious! |
09:12pm 15/01/13 Permalink
Hotel Transylvania was really good but it sorta died near the end. The animation was top notch and I reckon it would look really nice in 3D. Still, I think Tangled is the best animated movie to come out in the last few years. That movie kicks some serious ass.
|
09:19pm 15/01/13 Permalink
Just saw Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter. 8/10 IMO for mindless, bloody violence. Wish i had seen it 3D as the visuals were great and there were plenty of scenes i think would have looked good 3D. Also nice bloody slow mos.
Also watched Chernobyl Diaries. 6/10. Finally a 'mocumentary' style horror where its not filmed POV style. The whole time i watched it i was thinking of Stalker and how the movie would have been tonnes better if they added little f***ed up creatures n s***. Has inspired me to replay the series. |
12:26am 16/01/13 Permalink
Django Unchained was great. Leo Di'Caprio's best acting ever.

12:46am 16/01/13 Permalink
yer, tangled is awesome rev (its even got mandy in it!).
hard to go past toy story 3 though, or even nemo. madagascar seems to be giving them both a run for their money. ive bought the 3d version of hotel transylvania, and will check it out today. also got 3d how to train your dragon, because its supposed to be pretty good as well. |

So here is a few I've enjoyed lately!
The Crazies (Viral outbreak semi horror - Very Decent) ill Manors (Brit Street Scum flick - Written / directed / Music by Plan B. Awesome) John Carter (Loved it, the reviews didn’t do it justice!) Cabin in the woods (not bad, but not exceptional however good concept.. I too want to see a merman) Real Steel (Thought I’d throw this on as a no brainer, and loved the heck out of it!) Warrior (Decent MMA flick, but I found it a bit too American for my liking!) =) |
07:59am 19/01/13 Permalink
Last few days has been awesome moofie watching weather.
Flight Werth it just to see the plane crash at the beginning but Denzel Washington was damn awesome in this. The only thing that was dumb was the cheesy ending. Reel Evil Wasn't too bad. Was very similar to Grave Encounters although nowhere as good. The main chicky babe is a hottie though. The Collection Sequel to the awesome The Collector, I was a little bit disappointed with this. It still has heaps of cool traps but I think it was ruined by having too many people in the movie and even though it's just a "movie" it didn't feel believable. I guess since the first one was so unique at the time it's hard to make a sequel feel different but still have all the cool stuff that made the first one so good. Still werth watching anyway just for the traps and gore. |
10:32am 29/01/13 Permalink
flight was a bit drawn out. i probably would have enjoyed it more if it was 30 mins shorter. also, don't watch it if you have a fear of flying.

FlightWerth it just to see the plane crash at the beginning but Denzel Washington was damn awesome in this. The only thing that was dumb was the cheesy ending. Awesome CGI flight sequence at the start though, agreed. Unfortunately the rest of the flick just fizzles & yeah, you can see the cheese coming a mile away. Not enough John Goodman scenes as well. |
11:12am 29/01/13 Permalink
We decided to finally watch Australia, Baz Lurman's epic. Was long but quite enjoyable. Great cast of Aussie actors.
Also watched Seven Psycopaths which was disappointing. Next on the list is The Liability which looks ok. |
11:20am 29/01/13 Permalink
loved flight.
john goodman was like an awesome combo of walter and the dude. thought cheadle crushed it as well. the change of pace was always going to be difficult to swallow after the breathtaking setup. |
11:22am 29/01/13 Permalink
Also watched Seven Psycopaths which was disappointing. Yeah, that Seven Psychopaths was really average hey. It started alright but then became really boring when they got to the desert. I've also got The Liability ready to go as well. The story sounds like it might be really cool. Also have Sinister waiting but I've been reading mixed things about it. I didn't like Paranormal Activity but I did like Insidious and it's done by those guys. I'll watch it at nite for better effect. |
12:08pm 29/01/13 Permalink
Ok, so... watched a movie the otherday which I still dont know if I enjoyed it or not!
Mr.Nobody Really, if you are a stoner or like trippy movies, this one is for you. Its a headf*** and I still dont understand what I watched! lol |

I too watched Flight on the weekend - Washington's great, though they do a ton of character set-up in about the first three to five minutes.
Also watched Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome (if that's considered a movie), seemed very B-grade with the actors and overall story/plot. |

Don't get me wrong, I still reckon Flight worth seeing just for the first 20 minutes, just don't expect too much more from it after that.
Movie 43, however, is extreme s***e according to Roger Ebert and Rotten Tomatoes |

Bones Brigade Autobiography. i will watch this, bones brigade was my crew when i was skating. i watched all the bones brigade moofies that came out during my skating days, s**** was epic. my first propper board was a tony hawk knock off. |

The Queen of Versailles - Doco crew scored big time here with a super rich family hitting the bad times during the filming
The Paperboy - John Cusack is awesome. Deserves better than the 5.8/10 it is currently getting even with Nicole Kidman. Video Game Highschool I expected this to be terribly lame but it was very funny. I mean it is still lame, but they capture gaming so well and there's plenty of laughs. It's really well done, and terribly lame. |

Zero Dark Thirty was amazing after the s***-fest that was The Hurt Locker. One of those movies you don't want to end. And the final scene Spoiler:
OSAMA BIN LADEN DIES!!!111 is just amazing. |

end of watch was entertaining and had some really excellent camera work in parts. the opening scene had me thinking I was in for something special.
it's let down by some pretty terrible dialoague and simply the most awfully stereotypical and one dimensional bad guys ever. pretty much every line they deliver is utterly cringe worthy. SPOILER Spoiler: the end scene in the alley where they appear through the smoke, say something ridiuclous and then light them up.. awful. the two leads do a good job though and it's worth a watch for sure. disappointing though. |

One of the best movies out there and worth the watch again. |

I haven't seen this but I should be watching it hopefully tomorrow, as the premise of this movie has potential to be hilarious.
Grabbers: When an island off the coast of Ireland is invaded by bloodsucking aliens, the heroes discover that getting drunk is the only way to survive. |

Forrest Gump was on telly the other night. Found it hard to turn it off. really well written story and amazing everything.
10/10 Django Unchained. I did find the violence a bit much to stomach sometimes (especially when the retribution happens a little too later on imo) and would of been fantastic if Will Smith played Django as Tarantino originally desired. Foxx' soft spoken dialogue didnt cut the mustard imo. Classic example : 'i like the way you die' should of been an epic line spat venomously, not kinda smartass c***y. Interesting that the characters of Django and his wife were originally conceived to be the great great grandparents of Shaft. Shultz is amazing, as is Sam Jackson (didnt even recognise him at first). Film felt like it did drag a bit but would highly recommend it to anyone who a) likes tarantinoism b) needs a reality check regarding slavery in the south c) loves a good yarn told well 9/10 |

shawshank is definitely one of my fav movies of all time.Same here. Made all my kids watch it and unsurprisingly they loved it. I have to say I like Green Mile too. |

I did find the violence a bit much to stomach sometimes (especially when the retribution happens a little too later on imo) i thought the violence during the retribution was cartoonish. the only violence that made me uncomfortable was the mandingo fight and 'the dogs'. both of which contained very little graphic violence. it was the scenario that was truly disturbing. |

Shawshank was on last night and i didnt get to bed till 1:30 :( dam movie!

Its designed to make you squirm. and it succeeds. And...... Spoiler: can i hang you upside down and heat my knife up? That was intense breh. |

nope, doesn't work. hodor. |

Ha, glad to know I wasn't the only one caught on a school night watching Shawshank.
Zero Dark Thirty was great. Dredd was ok but not really what I was hoping for. I'd like a bit more of the lore to creep into it if they attempt another. |

Bones Brigade Autobiography. i will watch this, bones brigade was my crew when i was skating. i watched all the bones brigade moofies that came out during my skating days, s**** was epic. my first propper board was a tony hawk knock off. Yeah mine was a OG Cab III. BB doco is def worth a watch if only for Rodney Mullen's rather eccentric manner. His story about his Dad's ultimatum occurred simultaneously as I got a bit of dust in my eye. If you're interested in the 'death of vert' era I would also recommend Stoked: The rise and Fall of Gator. Tragic story of too much too soon and the way 'instant fame' followed by sudden collapse can lead to disastrous consequences. In other news I watched Django Unchained the other day and it was a bit patchy for mine. Some bits were great but it felt soft and predictable in others. Spoiler: The time jump with the KKK style guys was a weak and isolated grab at the sort of innovative way the old Tarantino played with temporality eg Pulp Fiction. Considering this technique isn't used elsewhere it feels really tacked on rather than a clever device. And the pawing horse? Seriously? Lame as f***. Violence was ho hum; epic blood spray but no sustained tension or empathy generated. Broomehilda who? Who cares more like it. And Old Fritzy suddenly deciding to sacrifice his life after cleverly orchestrating previous situations was against type and frankly a bit of a letdown. The dinner scene was ok, the KKK hood discussion was a good bit of comic relief but it did feel to me a bit out of place. Sam Jackson was the one thing that was reminiscent of the classic Tarantino, but he got dispatched in a very unsatisfying way... left to explode? No. All in all some good scenes (killing the plowing farmer, Fritzy saving Django at the start, Leo was great and the dinner scene was well done, but overall a bit disappointing. Definitely more Jackie Brown than Reservoir Dogs. 5/10. Ok make it 6. |

That was intense breh. No it wasn't. Compared to the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs (as far as tension and "making you squirm" it was...well nothing. IMO when he made Django, Tarantino made a movie that felt like a lesser filmmaker around the time he was peaking i.e. Pulp Fiction, trying to copy his style and make a Tarantinoesque movie, but ending up with a diluted not-quite version. |

Just watched Skyfall. Talk about a boring movie with a ridiculous plot. The best thing about watching moofies at home is you can skip all the boring bits.

Did anyone mention "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" in this thread?
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time, highly recommended. |
07:58pm 03/02/13 Permalink
yeah perks was pretty good.
watched skyfall today. it's better than quantum, but casino royale is still better. |

Flight is very good. Denzel as always does a brilliant job in the lead.

Trouble With The Curve
Forgot I also watched this yesterday before Skyfall. Extremely predictable but definitely werth watching. Spoiler: Amy Adams ends up with Justin Trousersnake |

If you haven't watched dredd yet... definitely watch it. It doesn't pretend to be anything.. it's a movie about a badass shooting people... the action scenes are pure awesome.
|
12:18pm 04/02/13 Permalink
Yeah, Dredd kicked some serious ass. Prolly the best action movie of 2012.
|
12:23pm 04/02/13 Permalink
i think it's probably a tie with the raid: redemption. also, they've just started filming the sequel to the raid, so we should be enjoying that later this year.

Dreed was terrible B grade. Didn't really enjoy all the CGI at all because the script was juvenile.

Dredd was worse than the Expendables. And I mean that's saying something... I think the whole movie was shot in someone's garage.

well, watched flight last nite;
what a cheery moofie, about what can be acheived on booze and durgs! also, ive been hanging out to see that bird from my name is earl naked for years. winning! |

Shoulda put your d**** back on before watching imo. there's no difference between liking bad films 'ironically' and having terrible taste in movies. the point he was trying to make was that the film is dog s***. if you like dog s***, cool, but don't recommend it. the people who love eating dog s*** because they are a s*** eating machine know that they love to eat s***, so they preemptively eat s*** and don't need recommendations. |

Lincoln was a 10/10 movie. Damn awesome.
Zero Dark Thirty is long and boring. Don't bother. |

Dredd was worse than the Expendables. And I mean that's saying something... I think the whole movie was shot in someone's garage I wish you were shot in someone's garage! >8-( Ruby Sparks A novelist struggling with writer's block finds romance in a most unusual way: by creating a female character he thinks will love him, then willing her into existence. If you like stuff like Little Miss Sunshine and Stranger Than Fiction you'll prolly get into this. The main character sorta sucks but everyone else was awesome. |
02:10pm 10/02/13 Permalink
Ruby Sparks was ok. The main characters were just too typical for the hispter scene. I didn't have any empathy for them. As with most hipsters I was just hoping one (or both) of them would die.

Pretty interesting doco made by Dave Grohl about the SoundCity recording studio.
Loads of cool musicians/producers/engineers interviewed, and an excuse for Dave to record with them for an album i assume is coming out soon. The last guy came out of the blue to, pretty odd seeing what is essentially Nirvana playing with one of the most famous musicians in the world. |

Watched The Impossible last night, about 2004 tsunami, with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. Enjoyed it.
And no I didn't cry, there was something in my eye! |
