I guess here is as good a place as any. Between 6pm on Friday 30th October and 6am on Monday 2nd November, Sky Movies is giving a Free Weekend Pass to non-Sky Movies subscribers on Screen 1/HD (ch 311/314). Doesn't look that great, but it's free. http://freeweekend.skycreative.tv/ |

Thought that was good'un.

No probs. If you want the truly epic, see if you can find the Soviet 1968 (I think), not the 1958 version of War and Peace. I think one of the battle scenes lasts for 45 minutes and had a cast of 120,000 extras. Cost something like $700m in todays money. Some others that you've already probably seen - Stalingrad, Life is Beautiful, Europa Europa, Yamato. Re-watched Man from Earth today and that's bloody brilliant if you don't mind films being set entirely in one place and involve no action whatsoever. Great film though. |

Not seen Yamato, will look that one up, Stalingrad is an old fave. |

Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee was alright. Its like the Office vs Spinal Tap but nowhere near as good as either. Some good characters and a decent story, but I can't help think that if they'd spent a bit more money on it, and taken a little longer than a week to film it, it could have been really good. Considering Meadows and Considine teaming up in stuff like Dead Mans Shoes it was a bit of a let down.

I caught Taken with Liam Neeson last night. Not bad and worth a watch if you like a good thriller.
7/10
I watched this last night. Thought it was pretty good. |

My usual viewing continues due to having 2 young kids.
Watched UP the other day. Very good and surprisingly sad film on a couple of occasions. I admit to having a tear in my eye!

i've watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it, it's not clever but then it's an action film |

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.
