Was that the one with Ioan Gruffeld? (I know I just butchered his name)

..Hi Justinian..
 
..yes, thats the one...Ioan played Wilberforce but i found his acting too whimsical and light.....maybe its just me, but the film lacked a real strength of purpose.....the supporting cast included Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rufus Sewell, and Ciaran Hinds...it was Gambon who stole the film with his few and far between scenes with his portrayal of Lord Fox....
 
...i mean, it was not that bad a film, but anybody who did not know the background of the films story, or perhaps wanted to learn something about the abolition of slavery would have had very little joy.....nevermind....i will be watching Die Hard 4 next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Embarrassed
 
..AoO...

Watched "Quills" about the Marquis De Sade. An arty film but a good one.

American Gangster. Nothing special, neither actor was good. The fact that Rza from the Wutang Clan had his tattoo showing made it even worse. When I think gangster movies I think the Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and movies of that ilk. American Gangster wasn't even close to being in that league.

I love Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead. Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are geniuses.

Yes Hot Fuzz was great - though I'm still to see Shaun of the Dead actually.

@ Penelope

Bee Movie? That's coming out soon over here, and I wasn't planning on seeing it - it was very good, you say? How so?

I watched John Q in History class. It was really worth watching...
 
There's not much to see these days... currently waiting for National Treasure 2, but I have a bad feeling that it will turn out to be a disaster.
 
DO NOT WATCH LAST LEGION. It's not worth it.

^^ Yes, when I saw the previews for last legion I knew immediately that was one film I was not going to be seeing anytime soon.  Too bad, the number of movies on the ancient world are so few nowadays.  Will probably have to wait another year or two for another to even come out.  Let alone it being any good.  Oh, yeah, Hannibal will be coming out in a year or two.Unhappy  I can hardly wait.
 
They are making a national treasure II?
