How does one get into Gold Class, Gin?

Pay for the ticket OL 

We actually had a gift voucher which we used so made for a cheaper day, dropped Ruby at the in-laws and went to Castle Hill.

Either way it was only $25 a ticket plus food and drinks. When you consider normally it's around $17 (other than cheap Tuesday) I didn't think it was too bad. Plenty of room, reclining leather chair etc and no chance of some boofhead blocking your view.

We had Salt and Pepper squid ($14) and I'd have it again. All the other prices seemed reasonable, you could even have beer / champers etc but we just had a soft drink and coffee.

Watched a couple of oldies earlier this week Once Upon A Time In America about 4 hours but a great story young hoods turn into old hoods Robert De Niro 

And The Two Jakes fantastic art deco period marvellous motors classic styling 

The one movie that stands out for me up till now is ---Grand Canyon---one of Steve Martin's "serious"  movies--the meaning I got from it was---each of us on our own are really "ants" in the big world---go to the Grand Canyon--and you will see why this is the case. Our problems are not such a big deal in the "big picture" and can all be sorted eventually.

Enemy at the gates.
A fav of mine on tonight at 10.50pm on ch 415 Starpics movie channel

a good movie set at the battle of stalingrad about a russian sniper and the german sniper sent to kill him.

What forum were they on?

The Vulgar Volga Forum, Walter.

I watched Samson and Delilah last night. Not sure why this film got the wraps it did. 2/5 IMO. A grim tale, but a boring one, found myself fast forwarding most of the last 20mins to see if anything happened....nothing did. Little Fish is much better and just as grim.

You're right Chalky, they could have easily condensed it to under 90 minutes.
But back in those days it was great to be at the movies for a few hours as thre was bugger all else to do.

I took Young Larsy to see The Princess And The Frog on New Year Day.
I was counting every one of those 97 minutes down 

The 3 hours of Avatar flew by!

The Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie stays in my mind as movie that seemed to drag the longest.........

Sherlock Holmes....good watch I thought.

i disagree stevem was just an americanised spin on a great english character

downey jnr can act though and had some decent lines

Have never seen any English versions Guv...despite the face it contained Jude Law I found it entirely watchable. Dare I say it - even entertaining !

Up In The Air - I enjoyed it...but Oscar worthy...not sure about that. Bottome line - overrated.

Fantastic Mr Fox...pretty cussing good
