        I watched Looper................


        Despite the totally silly premise based on time travel (much like Twelve Monkeys) it was a surprisingly good film (much like Twelve Monkeys).

                Just saw "I Give It A Year" on channel 4 tonight....great! Some fast witty lines, sharp observations only to be marred by a cheesy/unrealistic ending.

                  True of most romcoms but truly "mastered" by British romcoms. The main reason that I find most of them unwatchable. That and the fact that most of the characters seem to be middle class angst ridden/neurotic twerps who really should be culled for the good of society :heehee:

                        :smile: Went to the cinema on Saturday and saw "A LittleChaos" a very good film staring the delightful Kate Winslet playing a 16th.century garden designer.
