Curb Your Enthusiasm: Krazee-Eyez Killa (2002)
Spoilt only slightly by continuity gaffs
This episode really hit the spot apart from two continuity gaffs. The disappearing bubble wrap plus, after Larry tries the jacket on in Krazee's house, he picks his jacket up from the coat hook but you never see him put it there.
Minor points though - watched this with all the family and everyone was in hoots of laughter. 'Are you my Caucasian ?' has now become common parlance in our house along with adding 'and sh*t' to the end of most sentences.
Larry's fear of retribution was incredibly convincing. I wanted to run away from town with him.
Splendid stuff.
Eagle Eye (2008)
Unoriginal and not entertaining at all
This is one the worst film I've ever watched. It is truly awful, utterly bereft of anything to hold one's attention. I watched it on Imax - disengaged from it after less than ten minutes and even had a 15 minute snooze, despite the 12,000 watts of surround sound. The characters are without credibility, the acting is not great and the plot is totally ridiculous. Any film that starts by blowing up a Taliban group in Afghanistan and finishes up with the attempted blowing up of the US President by a detonator hidden in a kid's trumpet, never mind the complete drivel in-between, can never ever get the thumbs up from me.

A laugh a minute (not !)
Don't go see this film if you're feeling down or a bit depressed. It's quite possibly the bleakest film I've ever seen. I cannot recall a single light moment. Having said this, it is superbly shot, the plot maintains your interest to the end and the acting is excellent. A real plus was Samantha Bond who looked well tasty as the Doctor. The Mike Hammershoi character took some working out (still not quite sure what made him tick) and Francis Black was real mean, brilliantly portrayed by Peter Mullan. I've no idea of this film's budget but it can't have cost much to make unless the actors were paid a fortune. The most expensive props seemed to me to be those being dumped in the bottomless pit !
