I'm hopeful this resembles the quality of the first 2 and not T3.

Based on a true story and set in LA from  1928 Changeling is a movie which holds your interest from beginning to end.
Angelina Jolie although looking a little anorexic for the part gives a memorable performance as Christine Collins a mother searching for her missing son.
John Malkovich gives a strong performance as a pastor campaigning against  incompetence  and corruption in the LAPD and the settings are incredibly well done from the vintage autos to the wardrobes,style and work places where the story is told.
It even includes a very distressing insight into the  conditions in a mental institution and  what appears to be the original San Quentin prison.

Directed by Clint Eastwood it's well worth the price of admission. Thumb Up

Gran Torino gives Clint the opportunity to portray the angry old man he does so well and this is another good escape to the movies show. Thumb Up  three stars

The International with Clive Owen and Naomi Watts is a thriller well worth seeing.

Clive Owen has really arrived in tinsel town and always gives a strong

performance.Lots of shooting which is a bit overdone and lots of suspense.

A good plot set in interesting territory.The power and corruption of big business.  Thumb Up  three stars

Gran Torino was the best movie I've seen in a while and Slumdog Millionaire was also very good.

Been around since 1996/7 but one of the best musicals ever IMO EVITA

Magical music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber which got them an Oscar and Golden Globe Award and Madge won best actress .

Jonathyn Pryce (a Ray Murrihy lookalike) Antonio Banderas and Madonna tremendous performances. Thumb Up

Still a good movie
