Sort of agree...but a tad slow the first quarter/third of the film IMHO but still well worth watching. Jennifer Lawrence will be acting for a long time to come I think, a talented young lady, did you watch Winter's Bone?

I have only seen Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone, an excellent film, I may get around to the Hunger games at some point.

The wolf of wall street - Truly great film. Instantly makes my top ten and for me is on par with Goodfellas/taxi driver as Scorsese's finest work. I was suprised by just how funny it was - theres some really laugh out loud moments here. Leo De caprio does an amazing job here as does Jonah Hill. If you like a good film and have 3 hours spare, just go see it.

Just watching The Book of Eli again...

I've never seen it, but there's an ongoing debate/running joke in the office about whether the hero is blind or not.

The first time it was resolved by Wikipedia, but then one of the guys said "I know wikipedia says that, I just edited it".

Saw "The Railwayman" last night.

Even though I knew how the closing scene was set I nearly drew blood biting my lip trying not to blub.

On a more lighthearted note I plan to watch "Jabberwocky" on DVD quite soon.

I couldn't pick any as all time favourites as there are far too many.

My most recent one though is Troll Hunter.
