Assault on Precinct 13

Caught this again at a late show...
Looked really carefully for the forest but still no luck...

Sideways

This is a great movie. It's a kind of mid-life crisis road movie, with wine tasting.
It's one of those rare treats that's a great movie and doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. Well deserved of the recent Oscar nominations etc - let's hope it does well...

Murder by Numbers

Sandra Bullock stars as a hard nose detective in this formula crime thriller. I had seen the first half of this last year so was keen to catch the end (not that I couldn't work it out!). It's a genre movie that has a couple of smart (but annoying) teenagers who think they can plan the perfect murder and then come up again Sandra the detective who works it out... including the obligatory cliff top ending - literally in this case. Not too bad - if you like genre crime thrillers, easy and unchallenging.

But I'm a Cheerleader

John found this movie in the sale at WHSmith whilst we were doing the Costa Coffee thing and looking for stuff to spend Christmas Gift Vouchers on. The description made us both laugh so we got it. The plot follows a cheerleader who goes out with the quarterback from the football team at high school who is sent to a place called 'True Directions' by her parents who suspect she is a lesbian (this is news to the cheerleader!). It's a sexual re-orientation camp that has the opposite effect. This is a great movie that handles the subject well and turns out a funny film from an idea that could have so easily gone the other way...
