I preferred Lost in Translation because although nothing much happened in that either, it had Bill Murray who is always watchable imo.

I've added Sofia Coppola to my list of directors I try to avoid, Aronofsky and Lars Von Trier are on that list. I'd rather watch paint drying.

What's not to like?

It's a shameless rip off of Independence Day crossed with Cloverfield and more than a hint of District 9, and it's a fun film

Totally ruined by the Mars Attacks ending.

Couldn't agree more, and I'd also add David Lynch to that list (with the exception of The Elephant Man).
I'm currently enjoying an Ealing Comedy retrospective. So far I've watched Passport To Pimlico (4/5, mainly for the wonderful Margaret Rutherford), Kind Hearts And Coronets (5/5) and The Ladykillers (5/5).
Tonight it's the turn of The Man In The White Suit.

Typical Will Ferrel film, totally bonkers and not to be watched with your parents

It's basically a remake of the Slyvester Stallone flick Over the Top, but with robots rather than arm wrestling.

I fell asleep about half way through so I don't know if it was getting better towards the end or getting even worse.

The action shots are stupendous but, like a lot of films nowadays, they've spent all the money on the CGI and forgot about paying someone to actually write a decent script.

I really enjoyed it, the robots looked great and not all it of was CGI, they made four of the robots at $500.000 each. Yeah its very sugery in parts but the yanks love all that. Hugh Jackman is good as Charlie and the boy didn't get on my nerves.

Firstly I agree with previous comments that the robots looked incredible! They were just awesome and their fights were also good fun.

I have to say that I loved this film. I tried so hard not to like it as it was so typically American cheesey but I couldn't resist! Had me smiling for hours afterwards!

I know its not for everyone, but for pure guilty pleasure, feel good entertainment, Real Steel is a winner.

4 out of 5.

4/5
Really different from all the other films of Almodovar. And really, really good, unlike his previous film "Broken embraces" (which was one of his worse). Twisted and sick (in a good way) keeps your interest all the way through. It was good to see that Antonio Banderas is still an actor... for the last years i thought he was just Melanie Griffith's husband... But he still got it. The movie is like a puzzle and by connecting the pieces you get to your destination. A creepy one, but great.
