Watched Robin Hood and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. While you wouldn't call it a bad movie it was one of those movies your glad when it finally ends.

It's to long and even though Crowe doesn't want to believe it, at points, he does do a very Irish accent.

It's worth seeing but lower your expectations before you do, that way you won't be disappointed.

Saw Fish Tank last night. Very gritty British film about a 15 year old girl living in a housing commission who wants to be a hip-hop dancer. I had heard good things about it, and I was very impressed.

So that's a wait till it's on DVD type of thing?

No it's not that bad. It's certainly very watchable but if you sit down and think your about to see a men in tights version of Gladiator you'll be disappointed.

Has anyone seen any of the 31 (I think) Carry On movies? I've been told about them but haven't seen them. They sound funny!

That wasn't actually directed at you in particular if that's what you're thinking.. I just mean the whole thing needs to be put to bed!

Also, has anyone seen "Animal Kingdom" yet?

I've seen several of them, they were sort of funny 30 years ago, in a benny hill sort of way.

With you there, some things definitely date, best left alone in the archives.

Planning to see Mykanos soon, anyone on here seen it?
