Racehorse TALK

Still have it on IQ mate. Haven't had time to watch it yet but it is in my plans 

500 Days Of Summer - lightweight romantic comedy - not my go as a rule but I licked - score some bonus points boys and enjoy a good movie 

Watched an old Burt Lancaster movie circa1968 The Swimmer.

Burt knew all the tricks was on ABC, next Saturday they show a series of  films featuring Burt's old mate Kirk Douglas.

Ver good comedy about to start 8.30 on CH 419 "Best In Show"

I've seen these over the last few weeks :

Buried - couldn't imagine seeing an entire movie of simply someone in a coffin underground being worthwhile, but this was very well done, 7/10
Dinner for Schmucks - crappy, only a few funny parts, Steve Carell must have been desperate for a movie, 5/10
Money never Sleeps - M Douglas was a great actor but he's not the main focus here, and the girl playing his daughter in this is awful, wait for it on DVD, 5/10

Just watched Mississippi Burning for the umpteenth time, some great scenes.

Love the part where Gene Hackman collars the deputy in the barber's shop......."You've got a stupid smile, were you wearing that stupid smile when you beat up your wife?"

Sure I recognised FZ under his KKK uniform.......very smart, though brown is more his colour.

One of my all time faves.  The scene in the shack 'like this one' is brilliant 

Also, and I know this is going back a bit, Spencer Tracey and Frederic March in Ïnherit the Wind"- story of the Tennessee monkey trial. Favourite line is when Tracey outlines the cost of progress." We can have the advantages of air travel, he says, "but the clouds will smell of gasoline and birds will lose their mystery".

Anybody watched Knight And Day yet ?

Tome Cruise, Cameron Diaz.

Tom plays a kinda crazy secret agent, really well done, I think they were taking the piss out of how he can be a bit crazy ..... like jumping up and down on Oprah's couch, if so good on him being able to poke fun at himself.

Secretariat has been released in US - hoping to see it soon 

Ben Afflick's "The Town" very noisy,violent movie with spectacular car chases ,crashes and near misses, lots of tangled vehicles,and awe struck bystanders.

Good special effects.

One thing for sure ya won't drop off to sleep weatching it.

Only *** from me.

I see Stand by Me is howing on Fox Movies this week. I'm no fan of Stephen King, have always reckoned he is about six people, but whoever wrote this story sure knew about young boys. Great coming of age stuff and brilliantly acted.

I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. 

That is line number one and I haven't seen it for about 10 years but I reckon I could quote 90% of the movie.

'Suck my fat one? Who ever told you you had a fat one Lachance?"

"Biggest one in four counties".

The Social Network - good film - is it great film ?  Don't think it matches the reviews.

"Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood" - one of the great lines of movie history.
