Cloverfield - Decent film, first 20 mins is a bit dull & the guy behind the handicam as the adventure starts can be a bit annoying. A bit long, but decent enough of a watch.

No Country For Old Men - Not heard a bad thing about this film, have it myself,but not got round to watching it.

There Will Be Blood - Fantastic film, Daniel Day Lewis is outstanding. A long film at nearly 3 hours - but doesn't feel it. Has to be watched in complete isolation with no distractions.

Sweeney Todd - Enjoyed it very much. It is a musical, but with it being a Tom Burton film - it's a good one.

3:10 To Yuma - Not seen.

Hancock - Again, not seen, but I understand the first half is very good, descends into usual super-hero stuff for the last half. Worth a watch, I understand.

Well I went to Morrisons and they never had any of them in....apart from Hancock and Cloverfield which I decided not to buy after your advice!!!! :grin:

But I got this one from Morrisons which seems quite good....

I went over to Asda and I got....

'No Country For Old Men'....which after your reviews I will be watching first!!!! :coool:

'Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street'....I picked the single disc version up first which was only £5 but then decided to pay £11 for the 2 Disc Edition for all the special features!!!! :coool:

'There Will Be Blood'....I'm looking forward to this one as I've really enjoyed every Film I've seen with Daniel Day Lewis in....one of my favourite actors of all time!!!! :coool:

'3:10 To Yuma'....really looking forward to this the more I read about it!!!! :coool:

PS....our lass will kill me for 'wasting' money on these!!!! confised

Cloverfield is best experienced in the cinema or with a really good home set up, I thought the DVD lost a bit because of this.

Good fillum though...and nothing like Godzilla.

The rest are all good buys if you haven't seen them.

Only because Godzuki isn't in it

Godzuki was shit, as was Scrappy in Scooby Doo. And I hated Booboo on Yogi Bear too.

Why did cartoon makers insist on having crap characters like these? it makes me think of the shouty bloke in the Sugarcubes, ruining perfectly good performances.

go to http://www.imdb.com

The ratings on there are normally pretty accurate.

Just watched 'No Country For Old Men'....very very good!!!! :grin:
