  1. Ever wonder what Usrchel's career path will look like when his playing days are over; especially if he decides to stay in football?

    When he is done with football he can work for NASA as a rocket scientist :D

  2. Not a film

    Only recently started watching Sons of Anarchy

    Finished Season 1 and starting into Season 2

    I love it!

    Good characters, good storyline and brilliant music

    I'm definitely going to buy the soundtrack

    Some dodgy Irish accents though!! People don't talk like that in Ireland lol

    Great now as there are four series out so I've lots to keep me entertained for the next few weeks :)

    There should be more shows of this quality

  3. Also watched Thank you for Smoking

    Big fan of Aaron Eckhart and he was superb

    About a lobbyist for the tobacco industry but a comedy

    Great film, thumps up

    Another excellent Aaron Eckhart film is Meet Bill

    Timothy Olyphant in it too, great actor

    Just a realy charming film :)

  4. The Iron Lady

    Meryl Streep does a fantastic job of playing Margaret Thatcher, former UK Prime Minister

    Very controversial figure

    Jim Broadbent plays her husband Dennis, a charming and lovable character, always playing the fool

    Mainly set in her home living alone and struggling with dementia, her career is played through flashbacks

    Could have done with some more flashbacks and less on an old women struggling

    If you've watched the trailer you've seen the highlights, the film isn't realy like that

    But it's a good watch

    I'm not sure an American audience would have much interest in this but it's out there anyway

  5. J Edgar

    Found it long and boring

    Now I just love documentaries and serious films but this wasn't for me.

    Found it a big long though it wasn't such a long film, a tad over two hours

    Can't fault the acting.

    Just not for me

    On a way offtopic note I only read afterwards that the State policeman in New Jersey, Schwarzkopf that his son was the famous General, Stormin Norman

    Watched the new Mission Impossible

    It's the first one in the franchise I've seen and there were a lot of references to the last film I think

    Like Michelle Monaghan comes on at the end but I didn't realy know the backstory there though they talk about it during the film. Felt a bit left behind.

    My fault, I should have watched them

    Big fan of Tom Cruise, the opening was great, just loved the intro when he says set the charge or something and the intro and graphics start. Stylish.

    Film was good but a bit forgettable. But good entertainment and that's what's it's all about

    I'm going to go back now and watch the others

    This weekend I'll be watching The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.

    Don't know a lot about it but David Fincher directing an excellent cast and the book was a huge seller.

    The Swedish film was a big success though I haven't seen it

    Many saying why do an English language version when the Swedish film got such good reviews.

    I'll watch both and compare

  6. Saw Ides of March

    A good film but it's missing something. I see a lot of films that are too long but this one needed a bit more time, I was left unsatisfied at the end

    Like we are told Ryan Gosling's character is the best in the business but we are never shown why or told much about his past.

    A top cast and some great acting, particularly the kitchen scene

    I loved Michael Clayton and the two films get compared a lot due to the George Clooney connection.

    Ides of March is a good film but I'd hold Michael Clayton above it
