Looking forward to seeing it on DVD. Directed by the brother of the guy who made In Bruges a couple of years ago, also starring Brendan Gleeson, and which was one of the quirkiest, funniest and darkest comedies of the last few years.

You would enjoy it too, I'm sure, Trish.

In Bruges is a feeble excuse for a film, throughout the first half if not all of it the dim character walks around saying Fuck! and Bruges! presumably because he was intellectually challenged. The climax of the plot -insofar as there is a plot- is also unoriginal -I don't know when the trick was first used but it marks the climactic ending to Pinter's play The Dumb Waiter (1960). Another film with Gary Oldman that was so bad I wanted my money back. But then, if you rate another piece of 60s trash -The Graduate- then I guess our differences are unlikely to be breached on these two turkeys.

Um, Gary Oldman does not appear in In Bruges.

Ralph Fiennes was the actor imitating a block of wood, my mistake -like it makes any difference!

Moon (2009) - one of the best sci-fi movies in the last 15 years. One character, Sam Rockwell, is ready to return home after spending 3 years on the Moon. The wheels begin to fall off the bus thereafter. Amazing acting & great suspense!!! Kevin Spacey is the computer voice, a 2001-Space Odyssey-HAL imitation. OUTSTANDING!!!!!

Solaris (2002) - self-revelation on a spaceship. Not convincing & drawn out. It's a shame because there are very good actors - George Clooney, Natascha McElhone. 3 hours of boredom.

The Hunted (2003) - complete shit. Similar cat & mouse a la Fugitive. Terrible

The Notebook (2004) - not as sappy as I presumed. decent love story and I'm a sucker for period pieces. Total chick flick but even if you eat nails for breakfast a dude could handle it. Don't understand why it was called The Notebook, I get it but the movie made one/two references

Pride & Glory (200 - nuts & bolts NYC corrupt cop movie. This film opens nothing new (Colin Farrell, Ed Norton)

Spiral "Engrenages" Season 1 (2005) - French weekly police drama follows on case that includes politicos, pedophilia, prostitution. Each episode has a good pace and maintains high level of suspense

Submarine (2010) - coming-of-age story about a boy who wants to love his virginity & break up his mother's affair. The director makes bold decisions to make this genre stand apart

Traitor (200 - Don Cheadle plays a bomb-making Muslim terrorist being pursued by FBI & CIA. Formulaic but watchable
