What are you watching tonight?

Not seen it yet - how does it compare to All the President's men? Which given the similar subject matter I thought was absolutely excellent.

Guess I'll get round to it sometime then, rather than head out of my way. :D

I quite enjoyed the Frost/Nixon but compared to All the Presidents Men, well not in the same league. Still I enjoyed watching the games Nixon was playing with Frost and thought the depiction of Nixon was great.

I quite enjoyed it Worthy, but then again there was nowt else on at the time, so I was stuck with it. I quite like the actor who played Frost though.. Same fella who plays Clough in the 'Damned United'

Plays the troubled yet driven celebrity part very well!

Watched In Bruges again, on C4 last night. Just as good as I remembered. Great dialogue. Excellent acting. Very violent, very, very funny.

Tonight I'm watching 'Love in the Time of Cholera' - a real favourite novel by my very favourite writer (Garcia Marquez). The movie, given this, is certain to disappoint, but doing my best to keep an open mind...

DVD this one - just watched - a really decent, honourable attempt at making a mammoth novel into a 150 min film.

Can't be done - but this is a decent attempt...

A lot of people slammed that movie, but I also quite enjoyed it. Nothing brilliant but still very watchable.

I watched that Knowing after getting back from the Vets last night. It was fairly decent apart from the last 10 minutes..

Just been with the kids to see Scott Pilgrim - great stuff - probably not up William's street - but a great fun cleverly-conceived film...
