You've got Dr. K on your side... he made a similar rant about New Moon today.

I love Kermode but I only agree with 60% of his reviews - he's right about Micheal Bay being the anti-Christ but wrong about Superbad and The Incredibles!

The Usual Suspects is gonna be on TV tonight. Another movie that I've wanted to watch for some time, but I'm not really in a film watching mood right now.

I'm not sure who to believe anymore. First I heard loads of complaints from people how it sucked badly and how it ruined the vampire mythology. Now I suddenly hear loads of people saying that it was alright and see newspapers writing about what a big hit it is in America etc. Heck I even heard 'trend-watchers' saying that vampire looks are gonna be a new big hype everywhere =/

I guess it's about time that I watch it myself. I doubt that I'm gonna like it though. A teenage romance story with vampires doesn't sound very appealing to me.

Watched Leon.

Pretty much what I expected. Good, not great. 8/10.

Struggled to watch Boys Don't Cry. Not because it was a bad film, it was actually pretty decent. But there were at least three scenes that had me saying "fuck" and wincing and looking away. Odd stuff.

Watched Lawrence of Arabia.

Fantastic. Very few films could hold my attention for 3 hours 40 minutes, but this easily manages it. Incredibly good cast, too.

9/10, because some of the bits focussing on Lawrence's discomfort with bloodshed could have been handled better.
