You do realise that when the weather's like that, psychotic killers can reach your house in minutes but police and emergency services take hours, if they get there at all.

I watched The Woman In Black last night. It was pretty creepy and quite eerie especially for a 12A, Daniel Radcliffe had a good performance too. Definitely worth a watch.
7-7.5/10.

Just watched Cowboys and Aliens.
Wasn't expecting much. It's alright. Could have been immense. It's definately not great. The Aliens are decent, but the opening good bits are let down badly by an awful middle and an average end. They could have made this so good as it's such a weird concept. But I wouldn't reccomend it I don't think.

2/5 is generous. I did a small write up earlier - one of the worst films it has been my misfortune to sit through. It was all over the show, irrelevant twists and a lack of plot, simply odd. Foofahontas in it is super fine though.
Watch Scott Pilgrim vs the World last night. Had zero expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed it....very funny. I was thinking to myself as I watched that some of the movie reminded me of Edgar Wright's work....well what do you know, he directed the darn thing...I didn't know that.
Anyway...I'd give it at least 4/5.

I think I wrote a very similar review of this a long time ago. Again very low expectations but really liked it.

Chronicle
A grand total of five people in the Cinema for the 2:30 session gave me and my oldest mate the best choice of seating and we sat, semi audibly dissing ad after ad in that front row on the aisle, dead centre so we could put our feet up on the the little carpeted wall. We’d got in there bang on time and he’d got the tickets off his old man as a B’day Prezzie. That didn’t stop him, after the fifth ad to start complaining that if he ‘had’ bought the tickets he’d have walked out by now. Directed by Josh Trank, on debut, and co written with Matt Landis, Chronicle is a superb film. It’s not perfect by any means, and I had reservations when reviewers compared it with Blair Witch, or Cloverfield for the ‘handycam’ technique. I saw both of those on the big screen and while Blair Witch had a eerie kind of originality while giving nothing away, Cloverfield harangued your senses into a nauseous unreality with its constantly jarring visuals, while still giving nothing away. I’m happy to say, though, in principle the technique employed here is the same, but the Direction avoids the same problems. It’s the unveiling of the plot which allows the technique to become fluid; a brilliant device and by freeing up your mind on who and how they are capturing the image, it never overshadows the unfolding events of the second half of the film. The effects are effortless. Photo-realism ala Fincher. I won’t go into details of the plot, other than to say that its one of those rare films that goes exactly where you think it should, stylishly and with an uncanny realism of things you would actually do if you happened to one day be blessed with Telekinesis. 5 Stars.

Shakespear? A fraud? That’s the question posed in this delightful romp from a man more used to Blockbusters with extra cheese than quality Shakespearean Tomed Dramas. The plot follows the Earl of Somewhere as he decides to give his lifes writings to a younger man; in a time where plays and writing are frowned upon. Theres two threads here, one following the Earl in his ‘present’, and one much younger version courting the young Elizabeth. Another good quality British Production, albeit Directed by ze Germans. A thick plot abounding in the thickest of plots, humour, sadness, betrayal and emotion, this is better than Shakespear in Love, its closest equal. 4 Stars.
Classic - The Young Master
Chang Kong-Sang was born in Victoria Peak, in Honk Kong on the 7 April, 1954, to refugees form the Chinese Civil War. As a child, he earned the nickname 'Paopao' or 'Cannonball', because of his huge amounts of energy. He was enrolled in school, but he failed, forcing his parents to withdraw him. They then upped and moved to Australia, and sent Cannonball to the Peking Opera School. Over the next decade. Chang trained meticulously, and during which became part of the Seven Little Fortunes, a group of the Schools finest performers. He became close friends with fellow child performers Yuen Biao, and Sammo Heung, and would later become known as the the 'Three Dragons'.
Film performance opportunities arose and by 8, Cannonball had assumed the stage name Yuen Lo, after his master. At the age of seventeen, he decided to join Chu Mu's Great Earth Film Company, and he became an extra, and stunt actor, appearing most notibly in Fist of Fury and Enter The Dragon. He changed his name to Chan Yuen Lung and garnered a starring role in 'Little Tiger of Canton', briefly released in 1973. Lean times followed the Film, a flop, and Cannonball made the decided to save his career, and make a Comedic Porno. His career was dead so he moved to his parents place in Australia, and took up labouring for the local Brikkie, Jack, and attending Dickson College to get some kind of trade under his belt. Jack and Chan formed such an immediate bond that he was given the nickname 'Little Jack', which got shortened to 'Jackie'. Jackie Chan it was, and he was a fearsome worker. It was 1976, and Jackie held little hope of returning to Hong Kong, when he got a telegram from Willie Chan.
Willie was a Producer who had seen Jackies stunt work and had been impressed by him in John Woo's 'Hand of Death'. He wanted to model young Jackie on Bruce Lee, with 'The New Fist of Fury' and sign him to Lo Wei Studios. Jackie now became know as 'Sing Lung' or 'Become the Dragon'. Despite best efforts, this too was a failure. Several films in a matter of months later, and the films still stank. Chan had difficulty with Lee's effortless style, and it showed. Loaned to the Seasonal Film Corporation for 2 years, Chan made the breakthrough film 'Snake in the Eagles Shadow', in which he was alowed to create his own style of comedic fighting choreography. 'Drunken Master' propelled Chan into mainstream success , and he went back to Lo Wei, who now had a star on his books. 'Half a Loaf of Kung Fu', and 'Spiritual Kung Fu' tried to capitalise on Chans new found success and offer him Director/Star roles. Not satisfied wit his piece of the pie, Chan followed Willie Chan over to Golden Harvest during the making of 'Fearless Hyena 2'. Lo Wei wasn't too happy with this, and got the Triads involved. Golden Harvest pulled some strings and Jackie was allowed to stay, and his first film for Golden Harvest with constant Chinese mafia meddling was The Young Master.
Ah Lung (Chan) and Jing Kung (Wei Pei) are brothers at a Kung Fu school run by Master Tien, a stern but fair master. Jing is the lead for the Annual Dragon Dance which pits the Kung Fu Schools up against each other for bragging rights. Jing gets injured before the dance, and Lung must step up. He loses, and brings shame on the School. Its further compounded when Jing seems to have alot of money to play with, and hires a prostitute to sneak into the school at night. Lung is helpless to his brothers whims, and he and the Master soon discover it was Jing who danced for the rival school. To make matters worse, the rival School is taking ever more drastic measures to shame Master Tiens students. Lung travels after Jing to find him, but ends up being chased by the Police after being mistaken for his brother, who has now teamed up with the baddest criminals in Town. The film itself is a little choppy changey. Continuity errors, goofs, things don't really make a whole lot of sense at times. the film has several different versions floating around, but the one with Gustav Holts' The Planets suite is my favourite. Its the fight scenes you came here to watch, though, and they are each ever more intelligent and fun, and the final battle Jackie only rated his 9th best fight. And for good reason for him, he gets the shoite beaten out of him for a good 15 minutes.

All the damn vampires
All the damn vampires
just watched , Hot Fuzz for the very first time, nothing special but im left wondering why i had never got round to watching it before.
Just sat through some utter wank called Severence, purely to see Danny Dyer get killed.
Turned out he was one of the few survivors! FFS.
