Saw World War Z - passable, not especially good ending, looked liked they'd tacked it on/made it up as an afterthought.

Odd to see last scene, clearly shot at Lulworth Cove, 20 miles from here.

One film I did enjoy recently, the '13 Assassins', worth a viewing.

The ending was indeed tacked on. They weren't happy with the original one so they wrote and shot a different one.

That happened to me when I saw Solomon and Sheba, shot at the outskirts of town 50 years ago. The place does not exist any more either, it was swallowed by the city in the last 15 years.

The costume designer on Hannibal deserves some serious accolades.

I'm not convinced Emma Watson has that much talent as an actress.  Wallflower was incredibly dull and unconvincing.
They were initially going to cast Rupert Grint. So, you know, small blessings.

Actually saw the redhead in a movie about downed Allied and German pilots in Norway forced to work together to survive. He wasn't all that bad.

Okay.

I've not seen him in anything since that film about farting.

Watched the first episode of Inspector De Luca. I liked it. It was like a fascist Poirot (but an expensive Poirot when they're abroad) :mmm:

Harry Potter 8?

Rewatched X-Men First Class in anticipation of Days of Future Past. It's easily the best X-Men movie of the whole lot, and makes me regret Vaughn isn't doing "Days". It's just a whole lot of fun and cool, and has some good character work. The idea of mixing up the Cold War stuff with superheroes (already done in Watchmen, I know) it's just genius, plus Jennifer Lawrence's breasts.

Not sure where to put this, but next Saturday evening, 29th March there's a live radio broadcast of new H2G2 material or at least a radio play featuring some of the original characters and 'their' actors:
