I have seen it and I agree - I found it very, very slow.

would like to see Zodiac again. When I saw it at the cinema there was a guy in front with Tourettes which stopped me getting into it...

if it was the swearing type of tourettes then it would have been annoying but amusing at the same time.

just the cough, fidget type.

I watched The Prestige last night. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm not totally sold on the Tesla part of the story but I think its an enjoyable watch.

Tonight I get the double bill of Grosse Point Blank and Con Air in the Cusack challenge. awesome.

Cracks. Dull, Dull, Dull. and ultimately not memorable in the least. It almost seemed as if it had a good idea but was afraid to run with it. Avoid 2/5

The Kite Runner. This is a case of the book outdoing the film by miles. although it stays fairly close to the books main plot the whole reason for the redemption of the character seems to be lost. In addition so many of the books wonderful nuances are glossed over or lost entirely.
The scenery is, in some parts breathtaking and the acting is ok but if you love the book you may be dissapointed with the movie. 3/5

Letters to Juliet. Standard chick flickage, but elevated by a touching performance from Vanessa Redgrave.

Brooklyn's Finest- standard cop fare, a little too long. Didn't realise it was an 18 going it so was surprsied by all the boobs and shooting.

Hell Cab
- Latest in Cusack Challenge. Quite interesting and entertaining. Cab driver picks up various fares across the day. Hit and miss, but with each little story lasting 5 mins or less it didn't matter too much.

I kind of misread your middle sentence so I thought you wrote: was surprised by all the boobs and shouting.

I had this image of everyone sitting there yelling and cat-calling, "BOOBS!!! SHOW MORE BOOBS! LOOK AT THE AWESOME BOOBAGE, WOO!!" etc
