    Jennifer Lawrence weekend. I would like to be watching football but we are watching House at the End of the Street, I think. Bollocks. Hunger Games last night. Less bollocks.
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    Bad Words, Jason Thingamy from Arrested Development enters spelling bee competition and befriends and Indian kid. 7/10, decent.

    .........Transformers 4: Age of Exhaustion...........dear lord. I knew it was going to be bad. But by god. Far too long (went in at 10.30am and came out at 1.30pm!!) and I suffered from sensory overload at various points. Plot holes you could drive a car through and filled with leering shots of young women. Makes the recent Godzilla film look like Dial M For Murder. I have seen all of the others, I was a huge Transformers fan growing up. And part of me wants to rekindle some of that magic. I know they are crap, but part of me hopes something will shine.

    It's like Angel Delight, part of me fondly remembers it. But in the cold light of day....its all chemicals and bullshit.

    Just finished watching Punch Drunk Love, a much better film.
    I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    Just watched the new version of Carrie.
    Ok but nowhere near as good as the original.Cute actress playing the lead but didn't empathise with her in the way I did with Cissy Spacek.Also typical of modern remakes it's all a bit over the top wheRe more subtlety used to suffice.
    Laugh, love, live, learn.

    Just back from (finally!) taking the kids to see Maleficent.

    Very good. Really quite dark and complex from the point of view of the target audience (pre-teenage really), and Disney has managed to do the atmosphere of the fairy world very well. Plot… yes, a bit shaky in places, but being constrained by having to fit in with the Sleeping Beauty story and yet be less simplistic must have been a challenge.

    Angelina Jolie is surprisingly good - I'm not normally much of a fan - but Sam Riley steals it. Worst bit is the horrendous Scottish-ish accents :).

    Transformers 4 

    Not going to win any oscars but enjoyable nonsense.

    Looking forward to Planet of the apes. The trailer with the two guys drinking beer and the not so stupid monkey strolling in really freaked me out!

    Watched Moon again, still brilliant.
    Watched some of The Counsellor but gave up through boredom. Terrible script didn't help.
    Lone Survivor and Robocop were both enjoyable. 
    Really looking forward to TMNT and Dawn of the Rising Planet of the Talking Apes that Talk and Fight and Stuff.

    Amazing Spider Man 2. Not great, but not as bad as I expected. I'm currently watching They Came Together. Pretty funny, but only if you like David Wain films.

    Attempted both 'Last Stand' and 'Expendables 2' in the quest for a decent 'switch-brain-off' film after a long day, gave up on both after about ten minutes (I think my tolerance for shit scripting is dropping rapidly).

     

    Eventually went with 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' which I actually quite enjoyed, in a 'big and silly' kind of way.

    We're doing the free Netflix month thing again. TBH I think it's a bit shite ( well, very good for free but I wouldn't pay for it). The rest of theWeary family watched The Tall Man on Netflix last night which they all got a bit bored with. But Hansel and Gretel is on there so I shall try to watch that before the month is up, big and silly sounds good.
