For goodness sake, it's a cartoon. 
Just watched Bloodrayne (2005). Medieval set warriors vs vampires. Kristiana Loken, Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Billy Zane, Meatloaf, should be good right? Haha. Ok, it's got girls in unaccountably skimpy leather armour, buckets of unrealistic blood spraying over everything, people getting chopped up, all to the good, but the writing is appalling, a plot like swiss cheese, acting stilted - Kingsley in particular looks embaressed to be delivering his lines.
Downloading the sequel now.

Bridesmaids, which was not the film I expected it to be. I sat down expecting a gross out comedy and got a surprisingly sweet, yet interestingly dark humoured, story about friendship instead. I liked it far more than I thought I would.
I've also been gorging on TCM's classic musicals (Singin' in the Rain, My Fair Lady etc.) all week. By this time tomorrow I'll have rewatched Meet Me in St Louis for the umpteenth time. I'll spend the next few days humming The Trolley Song now, thus earning me some odd looks in the pub.
Continuing this week's unintentional musical theme, I also saw All That Jazz for the first time, the only Bob Fosse film I hadn't seen. I absolutely loved it. It's been so easy to forget in recent decades that Roy Scheider was a dynamic and talented actor at one point, as opposed to the phoning-it-in TV movie hack he became in later years.

Watched The Guard last night. Brilliant Irish film 
Great, great film!
Had a cinema day the other day and went to, Puss in Boots (brilliant fun, enjoyed it more than any of the Shrek films), Arthur Christmas (was okay but felt it was a bit meh! Had expected better) and Moneyball (great film, was very impressed with Brad Pitt in it)
