Rick Stein, making my heart ache for South West France.

Though please Rick, lose the f*cking Yank, she takes the fat off duck, the know-nowt.

Just watched The Hurt Locker; a very good film indeed.

It struck me fairly soon on that the subject of film had far more to do with one man's adrenalin addiction and love of fear than it had to do with Iraq.
It's premise put me in mind of Point Break, so it came as no surprise to just find out that they both had the same Director.

The only thing that I couldn't really work out is why would you recruit Ralph Fiennes for such a minor roll?

A deffo recommend from me though.

I tried to watch that on the flight over to the Middle East last year Bruce. Now admittedly, its hard to concentrate on anything but the best of films on a plane, but I though the first 20 mins were shite. Is it worth giving another go, in quieter, more cerebral surroundings?

Yeah, I'd say so, LK. The opening 20 mins are really about setting the stage as much as anything.

I'm amazed that it was an in flight film though. I usually get bollocks like Night at the Museum

Watching That Peter Kay Thing tonight. Still funny

Flew the guys that sponsor Arsenal. About 150+ films to choose from. I'll give it another go sometime.

Wrong thread I know, but the name just reminded me of a book I'd happily read again: Ranulph Feinnes's The Feathermen, cracking read. I'll have to find it again.

Yeah on a bigger screen with the volume cranked up a bit, get the tension going

I ended up watching some of a film called “A Shot At Glory” last night on ITV4 until I fell asleep. It was a Scottish film about a non league football team on a cup run, starring Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist and er… Owen Coyle! Bizarre.

Watched Duplicity, last night. An very good film, I thought - but not one for those with a short attention span as it moves around from various time points.

Great twists right up to the end..

I enjoyed that a few weeks ago - in fact I think I mentioned it a few pages back... I quite like time-shift films, and i was quite pleased with the final twists!

You probably did, Chap. Only these days I even have trouble in remembering what I watched a few pages back.

I believe you said you'd been to see the new Sex in The City film and said it was the best drama you'd ever seen...

(does that help?)
