According to gransnet we only do TV and radio... But some of us do, occasionally, remember the location of the cinema surely? We even get the occasional reduced-price ticket! Or take our grandchildren to see the latest kids movie. Or get the DVD if we have missed something.
What have you seen lately and what did you think? I saw Bridesmaids which was funny, and was all about women, for a change. 4 stars.**
I also walked out of Horrible Bosses which did not get any stars at all in the first 20 minutes.Horrible film more like.
It's kids blockbuster season, so come on, who's seen HP8 or whatever it is, or Transformers 3D?

Glad you enjoyed it ariadne. It should be good and faithful to the book - taking 3 whole films to tell the story.
And the NZ government coughed up a fortune to keep it in Wellington. Massive subsidy.

So pleased to hear that. Still remember my first 'encounter' with The Hobbit. My then boyfriend brought the book to my flat, read the first page and then told me I'd have to get my own copy. There was a huge waiting list for it at Bodmin library so I'm not sure when I actually got to read it, but my paperback Lord of the Rings is one of my oldest possessions. Strange to think that, as a Brummie girl a lot of Middle Earth was actually based on [I think] a local reservoir.

Oh, that's me sorted out. Again. Just had a nice day, that's all. Night night, all. Off out.

Just been to see Zero Dark Thirty; didn't want to see it [wasn't all that keen on The Hurt Locker] but sat enthralled throughout the film. Just goes to show that it's when you don't expect to like a film it surprises you.
