Finally watched The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest last night.

Decent enough film but would still like to watch the extended versions as they could and would have put more stuff in to make it that little bit better.

Gravity Falls on Disney XD. Found it quite entertaining.

It is a bit, but they are messing us about with episodes of it.
A month break between episodes?

Still lots of funny bits

I've only caught the first episode so far (managed to record it about four times now). Have there been any more or does it start proper in September?

[DPrinny]

There's 6 so far, all have been great

I am watching the excellent Goonies right now with my nipper. Classic, and timeless. Will this film ever really show its age?

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Went to see that new Batman, more out of obligation than anything as I hated the previous two. Pleasantly surprised by this new one though!

Watched Rambo for the first time the other day
Guy goes a be mental and kills people, it was ok

I watched 'Psycho' again(the original - don't get me started on the remake). One of the best films ever made and also the best film that Hitchcock ever made. It is a lot more subtle film than people give it credit for. The use of the voiceovers and the way the music is used is very clever as well. Likewise, the 'stair sequence' is very clever as well. Plus, you have to love the piece of dialogue that is : "A boy's best friend is his mother."

It then watched the film version of 'Edge of Darkness' with Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone. It was the remake of the old BBC mini series. Oh dear. It was a little underwhelming - especially if you have seen then original. Mel does his 'mad out of control character'(see the first Lethal Weapon) and he is pretty good in this. As was Ray Winstone. Sadly, a lot of the plot has been lost(cramming a six hours mini series into a two hours film, I suppose it was going to happen). They have also changed the Jedburgh character quite a lot(the character that Ray Winstone plays). The storyline has a bit of a change as well. It never really gets going. Considering the original material and the talent involved, I expected more. Interestingly, the original director(Martin Campbell) made this as well. If you want a better Mel Gibson thriller, try 'Ransom'.

All of Hitchcock's films are being shown in the cinemas again this year, according to the trailers in the Odeon last night.

The latest one, or First Blood Part II?

Not that there's much difference between them.

First blood. got the box set a month or so ago and after practically destroying the box to get the sodding DVDs out I thought I might as well watch it

The 'final' Rambo film i thought was surprisingly good, a good finish to the series (Same for the final Rocky). Really like all the Rambo films, bring back some great memories (Dont mean of Vietnam ! I meant watching them with my mates over the years), but the finale was really good (Apart from the weird casting of that bloke who was in Coronation Street ?!)

Cool. Thanks for the heads up about that then TwoHeadedBoy. I do know that some his early silent films(The Lodger and so on) were shown at the BFI on the Southbank in London. Plus, there is the upcoming TV drama 'The Girl' about his fallout with Tippi Hedren to be screened on the BBC, as well as the 'Making of Psycho' movie with Anthony Hopkins as Hitch.
