Observe and Report (2009)


Simply the stupidest movie I've seen for a long time. Why did I watch it? Because two 18-year-olds convinced me it 'might be good'. It was awful, so bad, in fact, that it raised the odd titter.

IMDB rating 6.1/10

In The Loop (2009)


Funny, but not hilarious. Razor-sharp dialogue. Peter Capaldi (from The Thick of It) is the UK Government's relentless Director of Communications. A few classic moments, though, when Capaldi's Scottish brogue just gives it the lift required: "Fuckety-bye-bye then!" 

The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war. But not everyone agrees that war is a good thing. The US General Miller doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster...

IMDB rating 7.7/10

These cats "can't sing"?


The Telegraph Online seems to have worked out that lists of 'interesting' facts draw site traffic from around the world.

According to their list here, Bob Dylan, among others, 'can't sing'. Wrong. 

Don't shoot the messenger...
How about a list of people who can sing, but shouldn't? Top of my list would be Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
