Inception 9/10. I don't really see the 'mindfuck' of it - thought Nolan did a good job of making it as clear and plot-hole-proof as possible.
I'm convinced that they're NOT in a dream at the end.

If it was all a dream a) I'd be annoyed because it would just be another cliche twist b) some people have noticed that he's always wearing his ring in his dreams, but when its reality (or what we think is reality), its never on.

Never noticed that, think I need to see it again.

Anyone seen Toy Story 3 3D?...

I did, it was great.
The picture has "depth" to it if that makes sense, rather than it seeming like things are coming out of the screen, was much better than I expected.

It gave me a bit of a headache and my eyes hurt for a while afterwards though.
 
Watched toy story 3 at the IMAX in 3D at Manchester - awesome film.

I also saw Avatar here and thought that was great too, but a little blury.

Toy story felt blury at some parts too, Im starting to think it's the IMAX though, as other films such as Alice in Wonderland 3d on a normal cinema screen looked brilliant in 3d with no bluryness at all
 
When I saw Avatar at a non-IMAX place, it was blurry too, has put me off the 3D experience completely. Maybe it was just the cinema then.

(Gave me a headache towards the end too)
 
Even so, it was a standard popcorn film churned out to make as much money as possible on the back of the success of a TV show from the 80s. It was short and had nothing memorable about the story, it was full of stupid one liners and even the action sequences weren't that exciting.

I was hoping they would at least have played up B.A.'s character or Murdock and Face for the laughs. However, the characters were nothing like the originals. Aside from a slight resemblance, B.A. was far too easy going, Face was about as funny as a funeral (I think it's the actor that grinds my gears) and Murdock was far to crazy. Murdock in the series was a crazy genius, this guy is just nuts.

They missed a huge opportunity in my opinion. I'd give it a 4/10 and don't think it'll do well on DVD/Blu Ray come Christmas when it's likely to be released.

I'm hoping The Expendables will make a decent transfer to the big screen. The TV show was pants, but this is definitely worth a watch for the cast list. Arnie alone is worth the ticket! :LOL:

I never saw the series, so I didn't have any expectations.

As such, I seriously enjoyed it as an action film in it's own right, regardless of it being called the A-Team.

Same to be honest, I never saw the originals and I wasn't really expecting much. It was an overall decent film with some funny moments and decent action scenes. Loved the actors in it though.

Unthinkable - 9/10
Excellent, edge of the seat terrorist movie.

The Bounty Hunter - 5/10
Romcom with very little rom....or com. Gets an extra point because you can watch Anniston for 1,5 hours.

The Ghostwriter - 8/10
Read the book a couple of months ago so knew most of the story. Movie was pretty identical to the book with a couple of small adjustments.
 
The Karate Kid - 7/10

Thought it was a decent film, nothing too special. Jaden Smith's performance was good I thought.
