Island in the Sky 1953 on TCM... one of those surprisingly captivating John Wayne films
Canadian arctic aircraft survival story with superb camerawork, nice pace and plot.... Wayne is convincing as agonised father-figure in charge of group of desperate stranded Dakota crew

Grey, Liam Neeson, last night on C4.
Really quite good, found the drowning scene toward the end quite harrowing.
Neeson never fails, never seen a bad film with him in it.

I liked that
Or maybe it was because i watched it 3-4 years back
Fair enough
I made it through half of one of the films before wanting to execute most of the cast. Not a patch on the series from the early 90s IMO.
Of the DVDs I bought last week, only Watchmen has been um, watched. Cracking film, though you do see an awful lot of large blue penis which I'd forgotten about.
I've not seen all of Zack Snyder's films, but what I've seen I've really enjoyed (Watchmen, Sucker Punch, 300 & Dawn of the Dead). Not sure on his upcoming Superman/Batman mash-up. I've never enjoyed Superman as a character, and Christopher Nolan's latest efforts will be tough to beat.

It has the potential to be an absolute disaster IMO. At least it will look stylish, but I'm not sure that will be enough - visuals only just saved Sucker Punch for me.

Without trying too hard I can think of a fair whack of films with kick ass ladies, or at least who are integral to the story. I do agree that women can be poorly represented in big budget films designed to excite teenage boys, but there's plenty out there with strong female characters.

Ginger Snaps
Silence of the Lambs
Let the Right One In (Swedish version)
Star Wars (original trilogy)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Little Miss Sunshine
That should keep you going, and mean you can avoid nonsense like Colombiana! Honourable mentions to X Files and West Wing too, but those are TV shows so can't make the list.
