The book, "The book thief" is excellent, I read it quite recently. If the film is of a similar standard it will be well worth seeing.
What film did you watch last night?

The last film I watched was LA Confidential, a story of police corruption in 1950s Los Angeles. I recorded it about 3 months ago, I thought it was excellent. Russell Crowe plays his part to perfection. I will definitely watch it again some time.

Watched Armstrongs Lie yesterday, no winners in this documentary but a good incite into a sport so corrupt that in the 7 years Armstrong won the TDF all but one (20 out of 21) of the podium finishers tested positive for drugs .

I can remember reading his book "It's not about the bike" and admiring him so much.....how disillusioned we all became.

I'm watching True Grit right now. Love the movie, glad someone mentioned it here.
Off to watch Her in an hour. The reviews vary between two stars and five, so it could be a waste of my £4.50. It gets 84% on IMDb, which IME is generally reliable on low scores but not always to my taste on high scores - Iron Man struck me as childish crap despite its 79%.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Iron man 3 wasn't as good as the others.
I meant Iron Man 1 - so bad that I would have had to be paid to go to the others. But I'm not the target audience.

Watched the Armstrong lie last night. He came over as not quite the demon has has been made out to be, rightly or wrongly. The basic premise that I got from it was, that it was a level playing field, because everyone was doing it.
The big difference was that LA kept the lie going even when all the evidence showed that he had.
I have read the secret race by Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle and am reading the David Walsh book at currently. This film sees it from a slightly different perspective.

I also watched The Armstrong Lie. I really feel sorry for him after watching it. It has changed my perspective on the cycling sport and him as a man. I also watched Mark Cavendish: Born to Race... AMAZING!

Requiem for a Village 1975... quite frankly the oddest film I've seen since....

If it's odd your after,give a French film called Baxter a look.
Or even weirder, try Death Bed.

Odd was the last thing i was after.... I was expecting something more along the lines of a PIF style documentary. Serves me right for not reading a synopsis first.

Themroc. Not a word of dialogue from start to finish, and among other things a policeman gets spit-roasted and eaten. No-one does weird quite like the French.
