Watched two Billy Wilder films recently, Witness for The Prosecution which was absolutely amazing, probably my favourite Wilder film now after Sunset Boulevard and Ace in The Hole which was also pretty good.

Witness in particular has a stunning finale that makes Shyamalan look like an amateur. Great performances by Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich in particular and a very very sharp, funny and witty script which keeps you hooked throughout.

Never seen a Wilder film I would give anything below a 8/10, he is that good in my eyes.

Also watched an interesting doc on the Soviet Hockey Team during the 70/80's called The Red Army which I very much enjoyed.

The second half improved, but it couldn't have gotten any worse. It was almost redeemed by a thrilling vehicle chase around the Strip in Vegas. But almost isn't good enough i'm afraid.

I will wait for it to be on TV then or supermarket cheapie.

It was a supermarket cheapie - a fiver i think.

Greengrass' direction is just OTT shaky cam, no better than 100 direct to dvd and filmed on a mobile phone, horrors.

I'm not even sure there was a story to it aside from the usual send a hitman after Bourne scenarios.

There was loads of complaints about this , how the camera was constantly shaky and blurry eg when looking at phone etc or some paper where you had to read what it said it you struggled to see it, but main complaint was it was to zoomed into the action you couldn't really see the action especially the fight scene at the end, if it doesn't make sense then it would if you seen the film

Maskhead any good? I don't why I waste my money on this crap....I only ever watch these kind of movies once...Hunters was another one...pretty boring once you've got the stomach for such fare...I'm sure I'll continue adding to th collection though

So last night i watched star trek beyond.
for a film that was released around the time of the star trek 50th you would expect something better than this.
the plot is basically the enterprise gets wrecked and every one gets marooned on a planet. the bad guy wants to get revenge on the federation for leaving him and his crew. so it's about them trying to stop this guy from destroying a space station. the only thing that kept me going through this crap was karl urban bones - the best character in the reboot if i'm honest.
the plot is what really ruins it. for me they could've continued from into darkness in the sense that the villains could have been the klingon empire. but sadly no. i seen this at the cinema weekend of release with a friend and we made a better story on the journey back home.
