Come on Kermode..we await your latest analysis.

I don't think Kermode posts on this forum!

He's probably trying to scramble an out of date egg.

I'm sure he'll be along shortly.

I just watched The Avengers. Really, really good.

The only thing i didn't like was the fanboy, who was sat behind me, fangasm at every given opportunity.... he looked a bit like Marcus from BB10 

I really have to get myself to a cinema to see The Avengers! 

Just a friendly reminder for anyone going to see The Avengers:

remember to wait till the end of the credits! 

I heard there wasn't a clip at the end of the UK version? I saw the clip part way through the credits, but I only thought America got the extra clip at the end?

I still haven't seen Avengers, maybe this Wednesday.

Just saw this tweet from Mark Gatiss:

Mark Gatiss ‏ @Markgatiss

Avengers *Assemble*? Dear me. What a weak choice of verb! Next: Superman Arrives. Batman Hesitates. Spiderman Looks.

That's wot i sed about SAW - don't call it SAW2

It shud have been SAW, SEEN, NOTICED, RECOGNISED

Ah - you've got me. I haven't seen The Avengers yet (I was meant to see it today, but I had a bit of an accident and had to abandon that idea: will hopefully see it at the weekend), however all the preceding films had a post-credits sequence, so I thought it was worth giving a warning. I remember some FMs saying they'd missed the post-credit sequences in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and I tend to be paranoid about leaving the cinema early now, just in case I miss something! 

I've really no idea if there are two clips or not...

There's two clips in the American version, but only one in the UK version. So no need to wait till the end.

I got told today that there's a post-credits sequence at the end of Iron Man 2......I missed it but luckily have the DVD.

Last week I watched Never Let Me Go, it was slow-burning, haunting and very bleak. But I liked it, despite the presence of Keira Knightley. I don't know why but she annoys me so much! Really liked Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield.

Blue Skies (1946)

Not the best Hollywood musical – and not even from the MGM studios – but this Fred Astaire dance scene has always mesmerized me.

Watched a bunch of films recently:

Drive - Pretty good and shockingly gory in places.  Although at times I found it tediously slow. Wicked soundtrack though.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil - Watched this on recommendation of my brother. Its a horror comedy doing a spin on the whole 'bunch of kids go camping in the woods'.  It was okay, it had so much potential but didn't really deliver. Lost a bit of interest in it.

Troll Hunter - A norwegian film about student film crew searching for trolls.  Pretty good, sounds cheesy but they pull it off quite well.

That concludes the evidence for the prosecution.

Don't buy, see or hire the film "Womb" made in 2010 with Matt Smith, which has been repackaged as "Clone" following Matt's higher profile for his Dr Who role.  Biggest load of steaming horse dung with loads of plot holes (like a mother who doesn't seem to age a day in over twenty years) and an implausible, stupid and frankly distasteful subtext.  It has good reviews on IMDB for some reason as a bit of a thought provoking film, but it's shiieeeeteee.

Oh......that's on my Lovefilm list!

Mr C's mate has a new film coming out in August:

Warhorse was a bit rubbish, wasn't it?  Like Black Beauty but with tanks.

I watched 'Snow White and the Huntsman' last night. Was very good, definitely worth a watch. And Charlize Theron is proper fit!

It was disappointing, with some atrocious attempts at a French accent from what I remember. I liked the battle scene the best, with all the horses charging forwards.

I might go and see it for Chris Hemsworth. I watched Thor last week, and he was impressive.

Thor was excellent, would definitely recommend it.

I thought it was "alright". 

TBH, I felt it was a bit over-long (and noticeably picked up when the dwarves arrived), but the visual "look" is really impressive, with some nice ideas (such as they way they use the mirror). Theron is *ahem* very good too...

I thought it was OK, but nothing to write home about. Has lots of well used themes, but the effects are good. One to rent, but would not buy it.

I enjoyed both of them recently too. I watched the Star Trek film which was on 4 this evening and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. For anyone who didn't see it, it's the one where they get young actors to play the original cast and tell how they all met.

Very good

You realise that it is an alternative timeline to the original Star Trek and not really the back-story to the characters you know. But it is a very good re-boot and I am looking forward to the next one.

I much prefered Cars 2, just did not like the story in Cars one bit.

I can answer that question, you either stump up the cash and buy a Sky subscription or you do without. Simple really.

I kinda disagree with you. I don't know much about the world of TinTin, but quite enjoyed the film. It was well shot and I found some of the characters interesting enough to watch another if one were to be made. As far as finding an audience, we will have to wait and see. 

Nope, it's not a remake, it is a prequel. I absolutely love the John Carpenter Thing and had some reservations going in, but they did a good job of not making the film look "too 21st century". There is a lot of new information and I can't recall scenes lifted from the first.

You need to rewatch it.

Last Monday went to see Prometheus (in 2D, non of that 3D for me). As Alien is in my top 10 all time films and Ridley was directing again I was hoping for a decent film. Pleased it was not a prequel, But I do think the writers had read Chariots of the Gods before writing this script. Enjoyed the story and some (not all) of the characters. Could see the obvious DNA links to the Alien films and clearly been left open for another film... or maybe not, we will have to see. I liked it enough to include it in my blu-ray collection when it is released. For a 2 hour plus film it did seem to fly by.

Just noticed Aliens is on tonight,11:05pm Channel 4.

Haven't seen it in yonks.

Oh no i don't

Its a remake at best  ... with a very slight twist of something called a prequel

Should be interesting  

No i haven't seen it

So . . . . there ya go

You chose to watch a movie you thought wud be bad

LOL - you silly head

Watched Tucker and Dale at the weekend and thought it took an amusing slant on the teen slasher genre.

I was practically forced to!
