The Whole Nine Yards

Amusing comedy with Matthew Perry and Bruce Willis playing neurotic dentist and wanted hitman. Caught this again and really enjoyed it, it was just what was needed - lightweight and amusing.

Italian Job

1969 classic version with Michael Caine. Wonderful crime caper following the gold robbery and ensuing car chase involving those Mini Coopers. Yeah...

Bridget Jones Diary

Ok. Watched this in Nairobi on a laptop with the other people in the guest house.
Entertaining enough romcom following Bridget Jones as she falls in love etc. Has the usual 'working title' conventions such as christmas, awkward english types and of course Hugh Grant.

Cellular

Choice for in flight movies was thinning at this stage so I decided to watch this again. It's a formula thriller plot with Kim Bassinger getting kidnapped and held in an attic. She finds an old phone that's been smashed by her captors and by twisting the wires together she manages to make a phone call to some dude who buys her story and starts to help. He saves the day of course, and never loses the phone signal, even batteries are not an issue for the guy, but he delivers a great 90min product placement for Nokia! So bad it's good.

Enduring Love

Following a ballooning accident, Jed begins stalking Joe, a lecturer who gets slowly drawn into a dark story of stalkers, guilt and in the end it turns into blood and tears as you'd expect. Well filmed and brooding with Rhys Ifhans as a particularly disturbing psycho.

Collateral

A bad night for Max the cab driver as he picks up Vincent who's in town for a night of killing. Tense, real time style thriller from Michael Mann. Best quote from Max "You killed him!" Vincent replies "No, the bullets and the fall killed him..."

Cannibal! The Musical

All Singin' All Dancin' All Flesh Eatin' fun. This is the first movie directed by Trey Parker (should be an official Trey Parker weekend), and released by the nice people at Troma. It was made whilst at college and follows the story of Alfred Packer, the colorado scout who confessed to eating five gold miners. Oh, and it's a musical with some great production numbers.

Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie

I've seen a bunch of episodes from this TV show. It's about a dude and some robots who are stranded on a spaceship trying to get back to earth. The evil doctor meanwhile subjects him and his robot buddies to watch some of the worse B-Movies ever made. Most of the show is them sitting watching the movie and ad-libbing, heckling and generally rip taking. This is the movie (really) which features the classic This Island Earth. Metaluna Mutants, large foreheads and sarcastic robots, what more could you ask for on a Sunday afternoon... great fun.
