The Recruit

Watched The Recruit which has quite a few plot twists. Better than I expected.

Phone booth

Watched Phone Booth on DVD with Matt and Simon on Saturday evening. Quite good, especially given that basically the whole movie is in a single phone booth!

Cidade de Deus (City of God)

Went and saw City of God at City Screen yesterday evening, with Sarah, Ruth, Tim and Fiona. It’s an absolutely amazing movie, easily one of the best I’ve ever seen though not fun to watch due to some serious graphic violence.

Minority report

Went round to Matt’s place, and watched Minority Report on Simon’s new DVD player over a pizza.

Pirates

Matt and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean last night at the Odeon York (which features an exceptionally small screen and a rubbish sound system). It would have been quite an enjoyable movie, but it was made into an excellent one by Johnny Depp’s performance as Captain Jack Sparrow.

T3

Yesterday evening Matt, Simon (one of Matt’s new housemates) and I went to see Terminator 3. It was excellent, lots of fun and some amazing action sequences. Obviously, it’s not a particularly thoughtful sort of movie, but there were the usual time travel and destiny/fate sort of questions, as well as a selection of nice references to the earlier movies in the trilogy.
