Meh, going to the cinema is generally a thoroughly underwhelming experience for me; uncomfortable seats, no ability to pause the film for a cup of tea, let me say it once and for all - too many damn adverts! The film is listed as starting at 8pm and 40 minutes later the film actually starts Not to mention the guy using his mobile phone in the next aisle.

The last few films I rented that were pretty good are:

Children of men - I wasn't all that bothered at first, but it was moving along nicely and I was enjoying the dvd when it got to where things start to get serious when the player got stuck on a scratch. So, I never saw the end of the film, though I'm told it ends badly for all concerned.

Rescue Dawn - Good vietnam pow movie. Well produced and performed without many of the cliche's commonly associated with vietnam war films.

3:10 to Yuma - One of the few modern westerns that was any good. It has its cheesy moments but these are not entirely out of place and as such work rather well. Two very strong characters and a passing nobility for the men as a paragon of knightly honour and grudging respect. It's a good western with plenty of the right stuff.

Last film I went to the cimema to see:

Iron Man - As expected it was a lighthearted action flick packed with villainous bad guys and polished special effects. Would have been better to see it at home though.
