Yes there is. They get off the train at Courrour Halt and look towards the Corbett, Leum Uilleum (sp?) and Renton tells them they're going to climb it.
What film did you watch last night?

Kick Ass - 9/10. I can't get away with super hero films, way too many of them and not my thing. This film is brilliant though, although Kick Ass is no super hero. Just a brilliant film. My second viewing of this film.

I must have been distracted by the 20:47 going past, or polishing my Binoculars when that bit was on.

That's the last time I crack a funny on this thread.
On this morning's ride I was stuck at Holme Railway Crossing Barrier for 17 minutes freezing my nuts off, watching trains go past.

Defendor and Special are very good too.

The Raid
(Again). Brilliant, hyper kinetic action/martial arts film about a SWAT team that gets trapped in a high rise populated almost entirely by dangerous criminals. Although the pace, and skill of the action demands the bulk of your attention, it's a film made by someone with an artist's eye - the hands emerging from the darkness when the first guard is disposed of, for instance, is a terrific shot. It has the same genre defining feeling that Ong-Bak did when I first watched that.

Looper. 8/10 had this recorded and finally got round to watching it last night. Very good, intelligent time travelling actioner. Great ending.

The Wee Man - 5/10
Scottish gangster effort based on the life and crimes of Paul Ferris. Bit "meh" to be honest, but it does have some great moments and John Hannah is as excellent as you'd expect him to be.
One thing that really hacked me off though was the lack of attention to detail. In one of the opening scenes a guy is wearing a jacket produced a couple of years ago (I know because I have it); if you're going to do a film about the past, do your research properly.

Prehistoric fantasy tosh, like an Apocalypto for people who don't like subtitles.

The Legend of Barney Thompson - 7/10
Strong debut effort behind the lens by Robert Carlyle (who clearly has a thing for Stanley Kubrick), tells the story of a barber who's mundane life goes hugely mental as he becomes a serial killer by accident. Darkly funny and has an excellent soundtrack, reminded me a bit of the Coen's best efforts.
Carlyle is in it too, as the lead, which I'm never entirely sure about; he's very good but I do wonder about directing yourself - is it supreme arrogance or total confidence in your abilities? I don't think I'll ever decide.

Tale of Tales - a rather superior film based on Italian fairy tales; think Brothers Grimm, rather than Disney as it's pretty nasty in places, and not a clear moral either
Maybe not quite Pan's Labyrynth, but a fine film all the same, with perfect pace (slow for some maybe) , a superb cast, not least Toby Jones, and Salma Hayek.
Recommended - if you like finely crafted art movies, rather than action
