That's the reason it didn't win the Academy Award, aside from not being the best movie of the year, of course. Older Academy member simply didn't care enough.
I figured as much. Even if I had been more connected to the plot, though, it still didn't feel like best picture material... |

I have them all on DVD and love to watch them again from time to time. Peter Falk is the best.

Anyone like the recent Sherlock Holmes? you know the one with Downey jnr... We tried to watch it again last night and still cannot get away with it. I know I'm old as I prefer the Rathbone & Bruce series, but that said I really enjoyed the recent T.V. series with Benedict Cumberbatch. So I know it's not just an age thing. Is it a really rubbish film... Luckily I had Beast from 20,000 Fathoms to save the night.  |

Like you I loved the Rathbone/ Bruce movies. I especially have fond memories watching them all as a kid. I also read all the books/stories( which are very different than the Rathbone movies) as sort of an extra credit project in H.S. I know two different Holmes characters that I really enjoy and that movie didnt have either one of those. |

Love The Munsters! Been a fan of the show for decades. That being said, watched THE KING'S SPEECH the other night and enjoyed it. Wonderful performances by Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush

The Kings speech, I think I'll be checking that one out shortly... The Munsters, now we're talking. I don't think I caught it first time around, it was probably second in 67/8. Unless that's when it was first shown in the U.K... Anyone know for certain. I know it was 64-66 in the U.S. I do have the full 1st & 2nd series they are great to put on every now and then. I even have a few on 16mm. I still love the Addams Family, but the Munsters were my favourite. Greatest Family show ever....there was some great ones but it may just pip it.  |

Limitless at the theater a few hours ago. The coolest new movie I've seen in a while. Highly recommended.

Just finished watching A Night at the Opera. If you can get past some of the singing (f/f button), you forget what a great movie this is, first time I have watched this in the last 5 years... Just checking here before I go top up the Wine, and put on one of my Favourites A night in Casablanca. That reminds me I must get my Watch fixed...

AUTOMATON TRANSFUSION. I saw this a few years back and I popped it in the DVD player for a re-watch last night. You zombie lovers will appreciate it. It's low-budget but worth a watch. Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk6N69lXWBs |

A lot of intense driving scenes and good plot as well as actors. If anyone goes to see it, wait to leave until after a couple minutes into the credits. |

We re-watched Daredevil last night, forgot what a dull film this really is. Quickly followed it with the 43 Phantom of the Opera, Quite a lot of singing in this one  the Technicolor is jollyfine though. I can watch almost anything in Technicolor.  |

I went and saw Thor yesterday afternoon. It wasnt great but it was good enough. It waas entertaining. The guy was good( whats his name?) in the lead. Hopkins is always good. The only problem I had was the romance with Jane Foster(Portman who looked really good) seemed forced.
7/10 and worth the watch.

Thor last night, and really enjoyed it. Superhero adaptations are really easy to screw up and the story of a flying bodybuilder with a red cape and a large hammer is certainly laughable. But Kenneth Branagh gave it an added Shakespearean dimension without taking the subject matter too seriously and it worked, at least for me. Chris Hemsworth is great casting and made my wife all mushy inside.

I was scared of this one but they did pull it off very nicely. Where once I was very afraid, I am now more optimistically looking forward to seeing what they do with The Avengers. |

Didnt get to see Thor yet, waiting for my boy to not have plans with a friend! I expected more out of first week opening box office, hopefully they do not see a 60% plus drop, but that is the norm this time of year.

I don't think they will. And 66 mil is not too bad. The title is not as famous as other Marvel endeavors, the lead is unknown and Fast Five is still doing good business. It's not an amazing opening, but very decent.
